Not really, ie that Maldives bungalow - I had exactly same experience in Mabul island for example, with 0 snobbishness that luxury inevitably brings (and is disgusting for me personally). Literally watching manta rays under my feet while ea

That's easy - experiences. This is what many rich pay their last dime for. You can get much better experiences than they pay for, for much much much less. Going for an exotic tropical beach location? Well they normally stay in sterile

Not sure why the fixation with Ikea, they provide decent value at given price point (as in better than competition, but still within their cost band). Anyway one prime example I can see - we have rather bigger kitchen, and storage is its pr

"send money to people" - WTF is even that? It doesn't sound like shopping for products or services, rather just emotional donations. Maybe I am too old at this point but I have yet to meet a single 'influencer' (lol

Not at all, few years, at most a decade behind. Don't you feel a decade ago we had a bit better life? Many people think so. What did we gain? Certainly not mature usable self-driving tech. Anyway giving a choice of bleeding tech or bei

Yes the corner cases for automated bus driving are pretty unique, and require some mix of situational awareness, empathy and aggressiveness. No way we can see this fully automated in next 20 years in regulated markets like most of Europe. B

Don't know about your flavor of 'traditional big corporations' but my banking megacorp has internal reward system across various 'virtues' for a decade+ at least. Its not direct reward -> money link (thats rather

If those were real claims (don't follow those guys because why on earth would I do this to myself, life as in spending my free time is about completely different matters), why is anybody still taking them seriously? People bash trump f

There are places which allow officially licensed airbnb, vrbo etc apartments. They don't need to follow same code as hotels, its a special category. Ie in France this is true, and France is consistently the most visited country by tour

Also host can't offer that date for another guest (at least it used to be like that). In case of cancelling 1 day prior then they either have a serious issue or another booking so thats not so punishing. It may also affect internal ran

Lol what, just try it ffs. I dont get why people make up such elaborate claims and never bother to test them trivially. One example - I did ie yesterday shower at gym after workout, after sauna, but didnt have shampoo so just water, cold an

Hotels try to milk parents with kids and either force you to take basically another booking, or have few 2-bedroom (or 1 bedroom and living room = parental bedroom) ones, often for almost double the price. Most were designed in another era,

Well, while certainly true, this is max few % of stressful reality. In fact, basically none of the workstress in my past 15 years was caused by this. I had this mindset when much, much more junior but these times... not so much. Maybe in

A lot of people think like that, thats true. Not really grokking them, the systems in western countries is much more advanced, be it social or medical services, better education for kids, much safer and so on. But as an expact myself who de

Its trivial to hire unlicensed folks. Its even more trivial for any insurance company to void warranty case in case of ie electrical fire, flood from work by unlicensed plumbers etc. You do you, not everybody is living in the race-to-the-bo

This is something I don't get - solar system is say 5 billions years old (a bit less I know). Universe is roughly 13 billions, and our Milky way almost the same. What this means is that there must have been quite a few collisions of su

Why are you theoretising? I can tell you from out there its used massively, and its not going away in contrary. Even rather small banks can end up generating various reports etc. which can easily become huge. The speed of human decision has

In multinational megacorps this is more or less modus operandi. I am not even mad anymore, I realized this aint malice but simply inevitable as size goes up and time passes on. The best companies that realize this can minimize it, but its i

Absolutely. I have a meagre Honda ADV 350 with some 28 HP (can't start biking on higher models in Europe, first 2 years its this or lower level), and hell 0-50kmh is blisteringly fast, 50-90kmh still much faster than our BMW with 245HP
