The supply is local, the demand not necessarily so. Hence Vancouver's recent tax on foreign buyers.

It's funny, at first, I misread that you wrote "I know which side I'd bet on." Which raises an interesting question. We know which side we'd probably be on, that's the rationalist speaking. Which side woul

Realize that, I was making a sarcastic joke. :)

Don't be silly. I've never seen anyone advocating for a 24 hour day. At the very most, I've seen 18 hour days. Let's be realistic. https://www.quora.com/How-did-CEO-Marissa-Mayer-pull-all-nig... Want

Wow, the Silicon Valley arrogance and echo chamber is real. It's not true that nobody is calling those situations startups. I am. So are the majority of people. And definitely so are the people who start those things. This is a

Could you share a screenshot for Mint today then and describe how it's improved?

The word nice doesn't have as much a moral implication as the word good, which is why I asked. As for the original sentence, I didn't think it was saying that some people are good/nice because they did it for free. I thought

Would you have preferred it if parent wrote that sometimes people are nice? I didn't read into parent's statement as much as you did. Sometimes communication is messy.

Yeah, that would totally be acceptable. /s

The original point was also only hypothetical.

Isn't the main point of the singularity that AI would be able to break free of such bonds due to its superior intelligence?

How's that different from AI-generated fake news videos, ala Jordan Peele invoking Obama?

I'm not confident that's an issue. The press usually takes the party line anyway. In any case where the press feels compelled to not take the party line (it's happened now and then), they've spoken out. I think if the

I'd say it's simply that the opportunities for programmers (demand) outweighs the number of people trying to make it (supply). For actors, musicians, chefs, and yes entrepreneurs, the number of opportunities (demand) is outweighe

Everything you said is not wrong. But it still seems to me that agnostic is the wrong word to use here, and code agnostic is the wrong phrase. edit: mav3rick has clarified below, it does indeed seem code agnostic.

As a foreigner living in China, I can say that the populace is like many other countries. You have your normal people who don't really keep track of what's going on, you have your informed people who have informed opinions and re

I live in China and used to love getting this done. It makes my ears feel fantastic. But due to the worry of damage to the ears and so on, my wife desires me to not do this anymore. So I don't. But I really miss it. So my wife hel

I wonder what other factors can contribute to the matter. Korean guy here. I swear that a decade ago, I would not get significantly stinky as I got sweaty. These days, I am totally stinky after a basketball game. My feet are so stinky a

Again... how would you do it though? Who would do the punishing? How would you enforce the punishment? Would clients build the punishment into the contract? Even if you could do that, the vendors have the advantage of how to construct t

Do you have a viable method to fix the problems you describe? If not, then we're still left with it being on the shoulders of the city. Ultimately, it's really hard to police that the vendors don't make crap solutions. If the

The vendors may be horrible, but it's still on the shoulders of the city for choosing the vendors. This is really down to the fact that most decision makers have no idea how to understand or differentiate between options. It's bee

I imagine there could also be some hope that through "exercise", the brain and nervous system could try to rebuild its former capacity. Physiotherapy for the brain. I imagine that would be a good thing for her health in general.

Now I'm curious. If lying in general is a terrible idea, how does the person whose name was forgotten benefit, otherwise what makes the terrible lie worth it?

Hah. First experienced this as a kid when helping out at my mom's jewellery shop for the first time. Someone bought something and I had to calculate how much cash to give them. I don't know why I wasn't using a cash regist
