You have more money to dick around with. More money means different types of opportunities, making it less boring. You can keep occupying yourselves with things other than having children. There’s still some sense of “I should have children

Hm, you have a point. That being said, I’m not just a tiny minority who don’t have children. Well, also as a man without a partner, it’s not really easy. Super-majority of families have 2 or less kids (about 80% up here in Canada). So it’s

Fair. In my head I consider “dicking around” a part of opportunity loss. Basically sacrificing whatever your definition of fun is with having children and the responsibilities that come with it.

Only 17% of families up here in Canada have 3+ children. Yeah, that proposal will never fly. I wouldn’t even support it, because it doesn’t really make “having children” a benefit for currently living families.

They don’t always make sense or are reasonable to you. It’s a perfectly valid take, but a lot of people are genuinely living a fulfilled life without having any children. And again, so many young people right now have none or just one sibli

Again, if every couple only had one child, we still would be having this issue, albeit slower. There’s no point in time we’ve had disproportionately high percentage older people either. Theoretically the issue might be resolved by itself, b

I agree about making children to be a net benefit for parents, but at the same time it’s hard to make it net benefit. It’s a biological problem - limited time window when you can have children and socially accepted (let’s randomly say 20-35

I'm in a similar boat as well, and most of the time I just make sure to take the new models for a test drive. Just trying to use them here and there as well, figuring out their capabilities and shortcomings. Makes it much easier to sme

Just did a mental test of this theory through past projects I’ve consulted for, and it seemed the opposite. I’ve seen hack jobs generating about $1M/day, as a second product of the company. And seen very mature serious applications bar

According to my friend, Tesla engineering didn't move to Texas, and he doesn't want to give up the California weather, so unlikely to make the move. If you have a routine, and enjoy year-long pretty nice weather, California will j

Assuming due to Intel's stock debacle, there will be a significant spotlight on CHIPS subsidy receivers. I understand it takes a very long time to get things going for large manufacturing changes, but I'm curious how things are go

You get used to their quirks. I can more or less predict what Claude/GPT can do faster than me, so I exclusively use them for those scenarios. Implementing it to one's development routine isn't easy though, so I had to trial

Yeah it is great, isn’t it? Someone told me there was an announcement from Meta how they’re deranking all political posts (maybe only on Threads?) and there was a lot of curfuffle that said stuff like “censorship”, but I genuinely believe i

My neighbourhood Facebook groups have gotten much more tolerable, if I’ll be honest. People stopped polluting them with provincial/federal news, and just talk about hyper local stuff, which I really like.

The difference is, sentiment to IBM’s performance is much different from investor’s perspective. They’re almost at all time highs in terms of stock prices as well. My understanding is Intel has to compete with Chinese chip manufacturers as

Fair, you're right, apologies, I just have a knee-jerk reaction to any commentary that suggests religious indoctrination of children. But again, I still think parts of religious traditions are amazing (like bringing the community toget

Tight knit irreligious communities always existed. I grew up in one, nobody in my family is/was religious, yet people still were close. I think the top comment nails down the root cause — rampant individualism is rewarded from an econo

Good point. Everything boils down to moderation though, right? My usual attitude is, if I have nothing to do — say yes. If I already have plans, invite my friends, but still do it even if they decline. It’s just my simple way of signalling

The problem is Intel will be judged against the speed of SMIC and other companies, which grows much faster. I understand it’s a completely different game in China, and they have a bigger government backing, but unfortunately 3.5 years is a

One thing I really don’t get, is what do people under the age of 16 (can’t drive yet) and over the age of 75 (get a bit too old to drive) do when they wanna just hang out? Ok, well, I know what they do, but how are people ok with being trap

I’m a renter, and I would love that. That being said, majority of people in North America own their homes. Since looking at your property as an investment has been normalized, those voters wouldn’t really like that. Something similar is hap

Not sure how it's down there, but my understanding is even if we have housing crisis, legislations that would actually bring down the housing prices is also bad for us. RE market is about 10%+ of the entire GDP, so we want individuals

I might be talking out of my depth, as I don’t live in Europe, but I’ve heard the same paraphrased headlines like these since at least 2016. Has status quo been swayed one way or another since then? Theoretically speaking, wouldn’t legislat
