So, it puts me at risk to participate like that even under a pseudonym. But, if you really think people like me are why HN isn't what it used to be then I'll step aside. I wish this place had the community it used to have, too.

I always bookmark these idea mining threads, has anyone ever made use of them? My though, because I haven't, is that if you want to essentially work on someone else's idea then go be an employee, otherwise the first actually passi

Thanks for the information. Does dark matter ever enter the discussion in terms of "there isn't even close to enough asymmetry to explain the amount of matter and the lack of antimatter we observe."

Problems may not exist, or be less obvious at least, if their bodies adapted to eating soy over generations. Even differences in gut biome can explain this.

> How do you address this issue? I think it's cheaper and better for everyone to address unfairness than to try to fix people after they come to feel abused by the world. Yes, but somehow forward thinking isn't a common phenome

> I want to build a legacy, not some zuck or besos weekend shopping item. Yeah, keep that view and you'll succeed. Beware of: children, relationships that expect things from you, anyone that isn't within your reality distortion

It's the chicken egg problem. Woman birthed man. Who's to blame? In all seriousness, if we are to succeed as a society, then ignorantly maintaining what are mostly over generalizations and stereotypes related to gender is a failin

> Otherwise the unit can just be passed from friend to friend and never get back to market. I'm not sure how this is unfair. Considering the way capital gains are taxed after the sale it seems like the grandfathered-in rent controls

It needs to be significantly easier to buy a first house than a second house. Getting a first mortgage is "easy" until you factor in the "mortgage insurance" scam. Rent seeking should not be such an appealing option to m

I thought about mentioning those companies, but I considered them to be too small of a market comparatively. For example, almost everyone buys 12-24 packs of their semi-locally bottled water, including national brands Dasani & aquafina
