I suspect the big factor is that the opportunity costs have gotten a lot higher over that past 80-100 years. For the median woman in the 1930s, her expected lifetime earnings if she didn't have kids probably wouldn't be that much

You also have to look at who is giving the advice. For him it is great if more people take huge risks and burn their youth on moon shot start-ups since, as a VC, he makes all his money off of those people. A world where everybody is a well

they usually have their own delivery service so you don't even have to use these apps Still? Around me almost all the pizza places have stopped offering their own delivery services and moved to apps.

Is that actually still a big thing? I've worked on several projects with people in Spain, and none of them did that. Lunch was never more than an hour, and basically everybody was back from lunch and working by 2.30 at the latest.

I find GNOME to be a weirdly fascinating project from this perspective. On the one hand I agree with basically everything the article points out. They appear openly hostile to both their users and developers (outside of a very small core),

Do European countries use fluoride in their water? Varies a lot from country to country, but over all it is done to a much lower degree than in the US. However the big difference is that there isn't a ban on it. There are scientific

I’d rather do the thing than talk about it. That is fine if you're doing it for yourself, but rather unhelpful if you hope to make a living out of doing the thing. The people I know who make a living off their art are those who sink
