There’s a huge difference between good and bad metro lines. Just like how there’s a difference between good and bad bus systems. Frequent and reliable metro with good coverage will beat bus system because of predictability. Also, capacity w

You’re probably right, since both of my siblings with children have said the same. That being said, it’s more about “living close to your existing friends” rather than “how to make friends in your area”. The latter deserves its own discussi

The way I read the article, "live near your friends" means "within 10 minute walk of them", not "20 minute drive". I live 5 minutes walk away from a very close friend of mine, and 10-20 mins from some others. W

I'm not sure what you're talking about, since videos can be up to 10 minutes on TikTok. Sometimes the algorithm favours longer videos to promote "educational stuff" (don't quote me on this, but that's what the

I don't mean to sound condescending, but how old are you? I'm only in my late 20s, and even I don't consider myself the main target demographic for the app, but it has proven itself fairly useful for certain scenarios (e.g. s

I don’t think he’s talking about people that tweet a couple of things about new tech. More of a people who on a daily basis come up with content like “here are 5 ways you can use AI to enhance your life” or “10 cryptos that will forever cha

Because birth rates are dropping in every single country as people get educated and etc. 2nd generation immigrants are not having as many children either after the migrate so it is simply a stopgap until every country has a birthrate less t

I am actually curious what is the solution you're talking about, unless you mean hardcore immigration that's most of the west using as a stopgap. I have no problem with it, but don't think it actually resolves the problem lon

Your great, great grandfather probably died around the age of 40 before the transplants and modern society advanced the medicine. He would probably be in favour of living longer than dying early. I’m actually curious how people make argumen

Free market can’t decide on things it doesn’t really understand consequences of. Ideally, that’s why we would have specialists from different fields in the government to make unbiased recommendations.

Cost of business. Depended on your SaaS, you could be saving more money blocking the requests to those bots than acquiring one customer. It’s a trade off you have to deal with when you get to a certain scale.

To be frank, only an extreme minority cares about censorship resistance, especially when it comes in a form of inconvenience. In the last 10 years, we’ve seen again and again even within cryptoheads, the choice of storing their money in a c

A decent chance that it’s a React Native shop that’s pumping these apps. Worked with some subcontractors that did those.

I dunno, maybe you should, because unless our opinions are considered, the problems will only get worse? It’s not like we’re some bunch of people who would never change our minds, but actions speak louder or something. If older people want

If you live in Canada, you most likely have known some Indians and the caste system. It’s just we don’t care? It’s not a taboo topic of discussion either. Obviously a much different topic if the caste system prevails itself within Indian co

Good for you. I’d even go further, force us to have kids. That’ll show us! Glad that my attitude is in somewhat majority, otherwise we wouldn’t have potential depopulation problems. Don’t have to worry about these type of takes. Have a good

Sacrifice is a choice in this scenario. I think, I agree with the OP above, that one chooses to not to make that sacrifice (e.g. lifestyle change). Just the value of the sacrifice has been getting lower and lower every year for younger peop

Not sure what to say, but do you have friends in their 20s? It’s not exact doomerism, but more of a “if I am struggling, why should I burden someone that I will love even more”. And again, for a lot of people life can be more fulfilling wit

Agreed completely, but I’ll add another point. About 50% of my friends are university+ educated women of different ethnicities, but all living in first world countries. We’re also all in our late 20s or 30s, so it’s becoming a “now or never

Quite a lot of opinions get suppressed over here, and rightly so. You can see a lot of flagged comments in hot threads. I grew up with unrestricted access to internet as a child, browsed a lot of forums, and most of them were always heavily

It’s not about “you can do everything on a laptop”, but more of a convenience thing. My iPad is basically a dedicated TV/Movie screen. On the day of the travel, I go on apps, download a ton of stuff for online viewing and go through it

Depends on how long you go for? I usually pick a city for a week as a base, then use a combination of trains, buses and sometimes bikes to check out the outskirts. It adds to the adventure, even though it’s definitely more difficult. Surpri

Eh, we could kinda resolve the problem by having a government auth system, and you can get some OpenID like response from it. Then private companies could just use that for identification (like in Sweden, a lot of apps have that BankID or w

It is not, they are still under the general term of “influencer”. It also depends on the person who is writing a blog or a book. “Do they have any sort of financial interest at sharing this opinion?” usually covers most of the cases.
