I'll take this bad faith argument, and give you even a worse one - $50 is about 5 drinks or less at a bar with tips nowadays. I genuinely doubt a serious person who makes music on the side will look at that number as a potential loss o

You can, but the game isn’t to drive the abuse to 0. It’s about to bring it down, and hope abusers find an easier target to extract money from. It’s the same concept as “why would you steal a secured bike, when there’s an unsecured one righ

I’m not sure how it can affect those artists given it’s like $0.5 for 1k streams. I mean, I guess if they have 100 songs all at like 999 streams, that’s about $50 loss/year if they never pass that threshold. It sucks obviously, but not

I'm not sure how it's in Australia, but here in Canada, majority of people own their homes. It's not in their best interest to let the housing to depreciate heavily, so they'll go through anything other than letting it b

What about "new" people? I, personally, don't care if new people try it. It doesn't seem to have extreme societal impact like very hard drugs (fentanyl and etc.) we see in Vancouver. I'm still against those, but for

Yeah regulated in terms of amount you can grow, sell, how much you can sell at a time, how much you can have in edibles, inside one package and etc. It was very weird in the beginning since the production didn't catch up with the deman

It’s been legal since 2018, up here in Canada, and other than extreme amount of cannabis shops in every other block, it’s basically been the same as pre-legalization. People who were into it, still into it. People who didn’t still don’t. Ma

Very hot take for these types of forums, but credentials and connections matter a lot. Maybe they matter less the closer you get to America, but having a degree from MIT or equivalent, opens up enormous doors in the East. So, I would argue,

I’m assuming it’ll go like BYD — make the logistics and manufacturing good for internal market. Then start taking over countries that don’t have established car manufacturers (like Australia, South American countries and etc.) as they won’t

My guess is, there’s a significant chunk of people who tried Quest or some other VR device that’s close, so AVP is not the first to the market device. Expectations have been set, comparisons are inevitable, and I would say a lot of use case

Odds on being a DNS issue, given that it’s semi-global?

I’m actually curious what’s the percentage of people not covered by cell reception in USA vs rural areas of other big countries like China and Russia. I know in Canada it’s somewhat similar, but people who live in northern Ontario/BC i

Not entirely sure how to explain it, not just internet, but the internet culture itself has changed dramatically. 10-15 years ago, it didn’t feel like everyone on blogs, forums, social media was chasing clout and financial gains. And even i

In the past, more people wanted to have children. Every year, that percentage seems to be decreasing [1]. Birth control mostly decreases chances of unwanted pregnancies, and that is good, in my opinion. How do we make people want to have ch

Somewhat tangent, but reading through this, on top of everything else, I really admire this type of dedication. I’ve been slowly walking through every street in my city for fun, just to have it visualized on a map, which is incredibly easy

That’s true, but I think the core of human communication has always been half of what you’ve listed - low intelligence, hating, spam and narcissism. It’s just more obvious and amplified online as you can see everyone engaging with it all at

Sounds sad, but I’ve subscribed to the belief that your degree doesn’t prove your knowledge. It proves you can go through certain obstacles, dedicate a few years of your life to something specific, which can be a redeemable factor during hi

About ~8 years ago, in one of my previous jobs, we would start around 4PM almost every other Friday in the office and go till about midnight or after. It really depends on the company, environment, and people. We even had non-drinkers tag a

Why negative? Not believing that there’s eternal happiness waiting in a corner doesn’t mean someone (well, me in this case) lives a depressing life. Quite the opposite, I’m genuinely satisfied with where I am right now. Everyone’s choices a

Very easy when you subscribe to “if it’s too good to be true it probably is” belief.

That argument only works for people who care how they’ll live in their 60s/70s. There’s a morbid reality check in my circles (late 20s/30s) that the way our parents are living right now will never be obtainable for us (this includ

I meant that quote to be tongue-in-cheek, and out of reality. Should’ve been a bit more clear, my bad. When I was a kid, that’s how older people around me described what parenthood gives you (eternal happiness). Later on, as sad as it sound

“Choose” is a strong word, as we simply don’t value parenthood (monetarily or culturally) as much as previous generations. And I can’t blame women in this scenario - rationally speaking, why would you sacrifice multiple years of your life,

I understand the general economics behind it, but I don’t think you can free market the problem away when the market is very obviously not free. Just off the top of my head - incentives for over complicating the zoning laws in big cities, e

Yeah, fair enough. I am just jaded, as I understand a significant chunk of data that was used for training came from Reddit, Twitter, and other sources alike. Good luck drawing anything that resembles the reality from that source material w

I agree with you, but it just doesn't matter "how far you are from literally perfect", you will just get backlash no matter what. Personally I would never use an LLM to try to make my mind regarding any issue that should be v

This is pretty much the backlash everyone said Google would be getting if their model isn't literally perfect on release, no? Also, aside from obvious hallucinations, I'm having a hard time imagining a model that would respond wit

Sorry, but I don't get your point. All three I mentioned are in top 10 of their respective markets. North America is not always their main market target, as it's hard to beat the incumbents, especially when you consider tariffs. T

I'm on the younger side, but my parents are in their 70s, and I recall them saying something along the lines of "what is life, if not a collection of memories", and it kinda stuck with me. Most likely it's just some quot
