No, much less pollution. It costs less carbon emissions to ship from Shanghai to California and back then for one person to drive 10 minutes to the store in their personal car.

Ocean shipping is very very cheap. Less cost in money and energy to ship a chip across the ocean than for you to drive to best buy to buy the phone its in.

Once you add in payroll tax, sales tax (10% of most purchases) and property tax (you pay indirectly even if you rent) and you get right around 50% in NYC. I have lived this and calced this many times lol.

At $500k per year salary, in NYC and SF, your overall tax burden is about 50% (including federal, state, city, sales and property tax). So really if you save half your money, you are only saving $125k per year.

I dont think my original post deserved to be flagged but I suspect it was auto enforcement.

You shouldn't compare against perfection, but against reality. ChatGPT o3 has been proven to outperform even experts on knowledge tasks quite a bit. In general it raises the mean accuracy and info of a given thread. Its like self drivi

This I agree with as well 100%.

I couldn't disagree more. Its like someone going to Wikipedia to helpfully copy and paste a summary of an issue. Fast and with a good enough level of accuracy. Generally the AI summaries I see are more topical and accurate than the man

Ive been married for 12 years and know a dozen married couples pretty well. I know of one where the husband expects to come home to a meal and a clean house. Chores are almost always split. Me, my dad and my brother in law all do more cho

Yes. As someone who has worked with 100+ funded start-ups, roughly 85 in USA and 15 in EU - the EU ones have such a harder, trudging climb due to regulations.

Twitter valuation dropped for two primary reasons: 1) Most tech valuations dropped about 50%-80% in between Elon's offer and Reddit formally accepting it. This was the end of the 2021 tech boom. 2) Elon being a moron and turning off br

In real life by the 80s, crime had been rising steadily every decade since the 50s in the US to a murder high that is 10x today's. The world really is different today.

Tabula rasa theory is not close to plausible with the scientific evidence we have, unfortunately.

Just to give the opposite experience from a different place: as a marketing professional in New York City, I've worked in small businesses, start ups, big businesses, as a freelancer, and owning my own ad agency. Ive basically never wo

Yes, if you forced 2025 americans to live like americans did in the 1980s there would be mass riots. Quality of life has gone up signicantly in many ways.

I'm experiencing it right now. Im almost done with publishing a book but feel like molasses as we get to the finish line.

Do you find a lot of success telling people how to live their lives?

Substacks. I pay for Matt yglesias, Noah Smith, nate silver, basically with a good record of analysis and accuracy in economic and political topics.

Yes, for instance, I think its fine if people who support hurting other innocent people are marginalized.

Super neat. Did not expect the math to work.

That's what the field of philosophy is about. I think, for instance, utilitarianism makes a lot more sense than "follow whatever your birth community historically does."

“After Virtue” annoys me because it basically argues that morality only makes sense within cultural traditions, as if we’re all just trapped in our local narratives with no access to universal truths. MacIntyre romanticizes ancient communit

Relative to the actual harms caused, HN freaks about this kind of stuff too much.

Even with the absolute incompetence shown in this article (Meta or Google would never make a mistake like this), no one has been actually harmed.

I hate GDPR and cookie warnings, but I think the EU has done some real good regulating Apple. We now have almost universal USB-C plugs thanks to the EU.
