Not every adult plays the game of life on easy mode, to get most rewarding experience one has to invest some serious time and energy into matters. Also, for most folks here its trivial to be independent and successful financially if alone,

That's the problem with populists (not bashing OP here, just general observations) - its trivial to pinpoint failings or potential problems down the line in modern society, we are all hyper-exposed to various info about them from all d

Any such country who is not doing it for the show but honestly trying would have to tear down most if not all cultural barriers. SK sounds like one of the last places for this to actually work. There is about 200 millions of africans and no

Good luck explaining this to folks who have simple mental model of their own freedoms and that's about it, not much room for empathy in us-vs-them mentality.

Many recipients are very far from ideals based on which its supposedly decided. That stuff, which has nothing to do with actual Nobel prize as we know it for advancing human knowledge and rather just political decision of a different (gover

Yeah, as russia has shown any treaties all the way up to constitutions are only worth something if all power parties agree to respect them. Otherwise just a wishful thinking or food for academic discussions.

Imagine people like putin pouring billions in, easily sacrificing millions to achieve such thing for themselves, and ideally nobody else. A truly terrible scenario worth fighting against. Some folks are scared of rogue AI, when biggest thre

Man, sometimes I would give some gold for some documentation, even 10 years old. Half-irrelevant, doesn't matter. At least something. Sometimes, I don't have even that. That's what drowning in complexity looks like since ther

Yeah thats a horrible approach that creates massive additional costs down the line, usually not author's problem anymore though. Can't really put finger on it precisely, maybe its too large ego (my time is too valuable for some pe

Company pushing constant snooping of all activity of users even on professional/enterprise variants of their OS can't be taken seriously re security, so absolutely no idea where this rumor 'They’re known for being great at se

People rave about bio produce. Ie we keep buying only bio carrots, they are not much more expensive than regular ones. I like the taste. But when I come home and taste some carrots my parents grow in their garden, oh my god - this is extrem

Could be, but a bit of conservatism ain't gonna hurt, more conservative nations like Switzerland or nordics are doing more than fine long term, QOL is top notch globally for various reasons. Much better than having sheepish mentality a

> "we can't afford kids with this market" This seems like a gross simplification. In western world, the pressure is to raise kids well rather than just so-so, since one can easily see how much this helps them with rest of

I would say something about forest and trees. But its funny how truth seems to eventually find its way, be it after a week or few centuries. Future captains of industries - take note and don't fuck up like this thinking all is fine and

There are things in life where amount paid is far from top priority, and phone is one these days. With sums we talk about, I just don't care anymore, and Samsung I have now is even more expensive and more wasteful. Re wastefulness - a

TBH for such a critical piece of our modern lives, I would be more than fine to pay extra to be 100% sure I am getting original parts, put in professionally and in secure manner re my personal data. I wish ie Samsung had such service where

But there will never ever be such guarantee that could be taken seriously. How do you know that 2 star generations ago (so say roughly 10 billion years ago), in our previous neighborhood, a massive hypernova wiped out advanced civilization

I wouldn't put that much drama into nulls, these are mostly academic discussions. In real world its much less drama in well maintained codebases, once you learn working with them you don't even actively think about it. In the mean

Well, yes, but - it clearly doesn't work well to only come up with a good idea like that. After initial momentum, people often took it elsewhere, or abandoned. Which tells you a lot about people out there. Maybe one can't force a

At some point, people invest into their work/employment so heavily and tie it to their identity tad too much, they internally need to feel this is the right and best choice, which for many top talents may mean working with "top 10

For the 1000th time here, even extremely well developed public transport by US standards and various financial punishments for owning cars is simply not enough for people to drop them, the convenience is simply too high. Look at Switzerland

Do you seriously believe we still live in such world? I'll start believing when I will see breakups of for example: Boeing, Meta, Google. I am not holding my breadth regardless of who is in white house, not even for single one.

No, but to state it has 0 positive effect is simply not true. Smarter, more knowledgeable people are much harder to manipulate via some trivial emotional tricks. Its not 100% shield, but sure as hell helps a lot. Look who is dying on russia

Yeah good luck with getting anything, ever, out of folks that feel butt-hurt due to their fragile emotions, in my experience women often go the extra mile to hold grudges, while sporting big smiles publicly.. That gate is closed for good, a

Sensor size is super important for resulting quality, that's why pros still lug around huge full frame (even if mirrorless) cameras and not run around with phones. There are other reasons ie speed for sports but lets keep it simple (al
