That was the point though, right? Your kids won't know your parents (their grandparents) if you're forced to live really far away.

I agree you get better return from seniors, which is why everybody wants to hire seniors. But we get new seniors by training juniors/letting them get experience. I think 5 juniors + 1 senior isn’t the way to do it, you should have at l

Maybe from the lower level employee not managing to get work done otherwise? I've on multiple occasions seen junior folks have negative contributions (causing more harm than good, by no fault of their own) by being left alone to "

Another problem you didn't identify: it requires their crew to be composed entirely of fairly senior, talented people. Hire a bunch of junior (even good juniors) and see how this "self-managing" crew never finishes a film, le

I do think it really depends where you go. I traveled to India for 2 months in 2004 knowing nobody when I went (but leaving having made the acquaintance of several people) and I still think about this trip almost 20 years later. Another Eur

I think this was the case then HN was new, these days it's a very general tech crowd (like slashdot was 20 years ago).

This is very a common & a very hard to completely avoid bias your entire life. I had tenured (internationally renowned) math professors at university that would sometimes intuitively react like that to stuff in everyday life. Cut people

All of the above is true...And yet I (39 years old, father of 2 boys- aged 4 & 6) used to have existential crises routinely and I really don't anymore. Despite often being huge pains in the ass my kids make me so...Content? Happy?

Right, I wonder how much is this like using DRM- it's not completely stopping piracy but it's making it less easy to pirate, thus disincentivizing at least some people from doing it.

Not the same as a casino or brothel. And if it's the kind of bar that does it would get as many complaints (as soon as they make noise after 10PM they'd start getting people calling the police on them). All the bars I know in my n

Not to the same extent as a casino. Maybe "bar" means something else in America, in Germany it's just a place people go to have a drink after work (like "Cheers"). It's not expected to get shitface drunk in the

Japanese invest in other things not in their housing (as housing is cheap, they can). Also I believe retirees do not as a rule move away from Tokyo? Here in Germany it's neither expected nor common for people to leave the cities they l

Yeah, I wasn't disagreeing - I live in a residential neighborhood in Berlin and there are 2 bakeries, a bar and a couple ground-floor offices in my little street alone. The street after that has many shops, restaurants, a post office,

Not in Tokyo - which what I was talking about! You can say the same about Germany (and probably most western countries) - vast rural (or depressed urban) areas are depopulating because people move to Berlin/Munich/Hamburg/Fra

Making property not a form of investment is a feature not a bug. See the article about Tokyo a few days ago for example (how rent is relatively affordable & Japanese don’t expect home value to hold).

Not quite - would you want a brothel or a casino to open next door in the middle of a quiet residential neighborhood? Otherwise I’m with you, no reason why shops/restaurants/offices/light industry (one that doesn’t create too

Thanks a lot! And it’s amazing students had such an opportunity - students here get to hear people like me instead (I think pretty highly of myself but I’m no Will Wright!) It would be like having Carmack come over to talk about 3d render

I see this a lot here in Germany (I'm an immigrant) - people buying vegan sausage, vegan ham, etc. I prefer to just eat "normal" vegetarian food (I don't even like real ham!) but meat is so central to traditional Germa
