Kids is one big reason. You can have totally different experiences before you have kids, once they arrive your outlook on life changes, risk tolerance changes etc. If you can retire at 40 having lived your 20s/30s to the fullest then g

I know it’s in vogue to dump on Elon these days, and with good reason, but do I not recall him on a number of occasions quite emotionally describing our continued CO2 emissions as the dumbest experiment in human history?

When you use your phone to surf the Internet you’re often doing it to just fill time, rather than it being an activity you really want to do (like those things you list). You often tend to come out of a long phone reading session feeling a

It's been a long time since I dabbled, but from memory the likes of E85 is good for fixed load use (eg. drag racing) but not great for variable load (track racing cars, motocross etc) because petrol has a wide range of evaporation poin

If the AI summary was being posted as an article that sat and competed side-by-side with the content you wrote that might be one thing. What Google are doing is more like putting their article at the top of every search and yours and everyb

I didn’t, that’s what I responded to first - the Irish/Dutch didn’t appear in positions 1 or 2 (the worst) on any of the lists I found.

Is that true though, quick bit of Googling has Ireland and Netherlands in many but not all Top 10 lists and none at the top. When it comes to citizens using off-shoring to evade tax, the more literal reading of your point, neither Irish nor

Highest income country would be a more accurate title here I think. My country (Ireland) has a high income now but has been poor for centuries, we lack many markers of wealthy countries like subways, extensive motorway networks etc. We are

In that case maybe, but there are plenty of cases where pain is not indicating harm and may actually prevent people from reducing harm.

I often think how great it would be to have a site where I could see all the shops nearby that have stock of X at Y price even if they don’t do online shopping. For example I am certain there are multiple places near me that have some 5m 1

I tend to read these comments as a quick dismissal of the title moreso than the research. The title implies that a fairly conclusive finding has been made.

Definitely done in Ireland and the UK anyway.

Americans only spend 3% of their time driving, so it's maybe closer to 300k than 10m. Still not scalable at that though so the key will be driving that 20:1 up, which seems very possible given enough time.

Most cars lock as you start driving, I assume the issue is they’re not unlocking when crashed.

Two factors stick out to me. Investing in the stock market is far more common in the US compared to the EU for the average person (something like 60% versus 15% of people in the EU). I imagine that has a huge impact on the amount of money

You haven’t added any facts either, it’s just one more statement from a random Interneter like those Reddit posts. I’m intrigued to hear some fact on this point though?

I found unsubscribing from all the default subs and just subscribing to your hobbies was very effective on Reddit.

Bill Gates calls it the ‘green premium’ which I thought was a good way of highlighting that a green option is often there for those able and willing to afford it.

1. look for a boring problem that needs solving. Even that is not boring enough I reckon. It is totally fine to find a problem that already has a solution and just execute better on delivering the solution than your competitors. Many (m
