My issue with the 99 year lease, is it’s harder to pass down wealth to your kids, as there would be no home to give.. Maybe as a society, less generational wealth is a good thing.

Many people are terrible at saving. This is a problem for society, because a bunch of unhoused older people will cause big problems. societal tools that force people to save (Social Security, mortgages, opt out 401k) are great for addressin

How is that different than leveraged RE? If the property value is flat, you’re in the red due to interest.

Call me crazy, but gold and RE didn’t track inflation 2019-now (during periods of high inflation). Index funds put me way ahead of inflation

TQQQ is 3:1. Every time I ask people to factor in their time in managing the property (yes, even time spent finding the property to buy counts), they end up way behind.

Yeah, no one ever accounts for the labor requirements for these projects. If you can earn $100/hr from your career or contracting work, then spending 20 hours per month finding tenants, mowing lawns, fixing plumbing issues, etc, gets e

Fair. Many people will continue to invest in ETFs for a long time, but when people start retiring and selling from their ETFs, then the party is going to end. ETFs, because of their algorithmic known trading, don’t always get the best price

Young people can take risks that seem crazy to us older folks, because they have way more time to recover. If you leverage invest early in life, even if it completely wipes you out (once), you can leverage your way back into money.

Does ownership of books make sense? What is the difference between code and books? Code is translated to machine code, just like books can be translated to other languages.

I'd really like to see more data on this. I really think (most) people would be desensitized and not become hyper sensitive to this content. Another fascet to this is the moderators willfully agreed to review this content and had full

Apple doesn't do this. But other service providers do (Dropbox, Google, etc). Other service providers can scan for CSAM from the cloud, but Apple cannot. So Apple might be one of the largest CSAM hosts in the world, due to this 'f

> They are also not in pain. My understanding is that during surgery, your body is most definitely in pain. Your body still reacts as it would to any damage, but anesthetics block the pain signals from reaching the brain.

I’d think the higher density/frequency of disturbing content would cause people to be desensitized. I never seen blood or gore in my life and find seeing it shocking. But I’d imagine gore is a weekly situation for surgeons.

Apple is already categorizing content on your device. Maybe they don't report what categories you have. But I know if I search for "cat" it will show me pictures of cats on my phone.

My understanding was the FP risk. The hashes were computed on device, but the device would self-report to LEO if it detects a match. People designed images that were FPs of real images. So apps like WhatsApp that auto-save images to photo a

My personal solution to this is turn my todo application into my habit app. The problem (for me) with habit apps, is they always have the same content. ("did you do this thing today?"). But... my todoist is 30% re-occurring habit

My gripe with these habit apps is you have to create a habit to use them. There needs to be an app to help you create the habit of checking your habit building app.
