Such a good point. For all the pride that South Korea has around its successes, how good of a society can it be, if it is an abject failure when it comes to repopulation?

Won't this just devolve into a "live to die another day" situation? Most likley just a few days later? I feel super skeptical about these "billionaire survival" compounds because they are going to require a lot of w

Yeah, it's not super well executed by any means and its relegated to a very small section of the mall, but I still believe the idea is good and could be successful if nurtured correctly.

I too believe this is the answer. In San Bruno, CA a portion of the mall there is dedicated to small experiences for children (a miniature play town, a bounce room, etc). I've taken my toddler there and it was pretty fun. Pure commodit

You need access to the software that runs those SOCs which is owned by Qualcomm. Qualcomm isn't just going to give the sourcecode of those SOCs for Google engineers to tinker around with it. It creates all kinds of crazy legal problems

Never said knives were less dangerous than guns just that an assailant swinging a knife can do damage, but if your argument is that if get rid of guns we can get rid of mass killings, then may I direct your attention to the 86 people who we

I remember reading some version of the story where he figured out what companies were on the rise by going through peoples trash. Like he would make note of what people were actually buying so he had an inside track.

You'd be surprised how many Google employees have a warped view of the company or even that of what a business is suppose to do. There are some people with the org that would genuinely debate you as to whether making a profit (any kind

So I work for a FAANG company and I worked on a tech partnership with Disney. To Disney's credit, they are INCREDIBLY understanding about the need for all families to have a good day at the park. They spend a lot of money on R&D fo

Not reeeeally though. Because no new inventory is being created. Because amount of usable square footage actually decreases, you technically end up with less housing than you started with. You start with a house that comfortably fit a famil

I would also add that there is going to be INCREDIBLE resistance to AI/ML applications. Both from menial AND skilled labor fronts. I've been following a dental AI startup. They've pivoted a couple times and I suspect it'

AI/ML still feels like a nothingburger to me. Yeah i get there are some applications in some niche tasks, but we're like in the 1970s of the AI/ML revolution if we compare it to the internet's timeline.

This sounds plausible, but as someone else said, has this ever been proven to be the case? What are some good examples?

> The people who are landlords agree to the risk of owning a property and renting it out to someone. Why should I feel bad when the risk comes to fruition? Why should anyone? Ok then. People who didn't take on the risk to buy a home

WTF was the point of pay people unemployment and stimulus checks, if not to pay their bills/rent? I can't believe we as society just laughed and robbed all the landlords. This is truly shameful.

You’re just infantilizing women by blaming every outcome on “society”. I fully believe women are capable of making their own decisions and there’s no “cabal of men” holding them back from unclogging toilets.
