I think multi generation housing helped where older generations took care of the child when parents were working, that both parents were not necessarily working, and that kids did not need constant supervision in the sense that they could b

With the expectation of both parents working full time jobs and living in small spaces (at least in big cities like in Japan) - the current state of modern urban life is just not right to have kids. Where are they even going to run around a

Direct booking needs to make a come back. Middleman platforms got too comfortable charging increasingly large fees to both seller and buyers while providing less and less value. I personally started booking direct from hotels and airfares u

Terrible place to be poor more like. Being poor is not enviable in any country, but you're better supported in some countries compared to others. Obviously this comes at a cost for the economy as a whole. At some point you need to thin

So there is a boom in terms of investment for future capacity. It could be interesting to see if the demand is following. I suspect there will be over capacity built, resulting some bankruptcies + cheaper compute/ai costs, hopefully al

Are you sure all these companies you dealt with are verifying addresses against Google Maps data? It could have been the "official" data missing the street (not sure which entity maintains that, postal services?) - in that case su

I've come to realize the same thing. I was found the "boomer" thing to look for restaurants on Google Maps, then I realized younger people use Tiktok for this now. And here I thought Tiktok was for just for memes and funny vi

Not as much experience as you, but do people really care about what the domain name is as long as it does not look obviously scammy? People click links or CTAs but would rarely actually type the domain. Agree it's important to move bus

I respect your opinion and you could be right, but I don't buy it so far. While integrations have improved, for the LLM models everything relies on, we don't see major advances anymore. Compare the jump from GPT3.5 to 4, vs the ne

Good idea. I might want to engage with political content but on my own terms. The way most platforms push rage baiting content to trigger engagement is unhealthy. With that being said most platforms allow you to mute the content you dislike

Side topic, but dropping coffee was the best thing I ever did. I used to drink only one cup a day, rarely two, for many years - but turns out when I stopped (for reasons unrelated) my anxiety unexpectedly 80% went away after a week or so wi
