While valid take here, I don't think it was ever meant to be taken as a literal guiding principle that needed to be written down so clearly as much as do the second thing you said, act as a guiding principle. To me, the minuta having t

Ignoring defining what "true hacking" is defined as, I'm struggling to pinpoint exactly what has been lost here. Many new things have come into existence, but this feels like a list of laments against the direction technology

Not OP but 100% no for me. The difference here really is motivational difference of empathy vs selfishness. I think if you've learned the latter there's still much to be gained, even if the actions in this specific case are the sa

If you're focusing on houses, you're looking in the wrong place. Look at rental property values, particularly in cities but even suburban areas.

I think for business your stance makes perfect sense. For me, I regularly use airbnb for personal travel to stay in a neighborhood and really explore a city. Often hotels aren't an option. You also often get a fullish kitchen to cook i

I'd be in agreement generally but the subway coverage is pretty dense with maybe exception to the far east/west ends. More trains per line is probably money and effort better spent at that point. You still need roads for emergency
