They would chuckle when they realized how instead of seeking to replace $8/hr labor to do simple tasks with fancy robots, we instead decided to focus on telecommunications and mobile computing, and now anyone can buy a smartphone for $

Then ask for a raise. Two people making $140k should easily be able to save up $400k in 5-8 years for a mortgage down payment. And single people don't need an entire house.

Yep, recently moved to California from the Midwest and I am regretting not moving earlier. Its been 3 months but I am still blow. Away by how amazing everything. Sure, it's expensive, but you get what you pay for.

You cannot envision a profit model for selling psychedelics?

You make the mistake of assuming the uber-rich want to get to Fiji as soon as possible, when in reality they would rather spend the 8 hrs in their private Gulfstream in a cocaine fueled orgy while the pilot does barrel rolls and loops. Flyi

The economics are just silly. 4 passengers at $250k each is only $1M in revenue per flight. Between fuel costs, rocket costs (even assuming 10x reuses per rocket, you'd need to build the rocket for significantly under $10M to have a ch

No, because this is written in broken English, and is ambiguous. If you want to make kids think that math is all about "ha, gotcha! Technically this question could be interpreted to mean X" then by all means this is an excellent q

"just like in Iraq WMDs did actually exist at some point - the US sold some to Iraq - they were just destroyed." Are you seriously going to post that without a source?

What's not to understand? The numbers in Korea are low because everyone is willing to sacrifice their personal freedom and convenience for the common good. They vigilantly wear masks, socially distance, follow guidelines, and abstain f

Why would they drop their guns, when they can simply tell whoever is paying them to hand over their money?

Yeah, of course. All other forms of gambling have an inherent negative return (the house has favorable odds always), while the stock market has a positive return inherently as most companies on the stock market are profitable, so it's

Even more interestingly, for relatively cheap, you can spread rumors or seed sentiments into the internet via paid shills, so for small amounts of money you can sow false information and cult-like mentalities around certain stocks, and prof

Yes, let's design the internet around keeping 90s routers running as long as possible. Excellent. Let's also design highways with a max speed of 20 MPH so we can accommodate Model T's

You realize the 1% of India is 15 million people, right?

But this really just illustrates a lack of knowledge on our part. If we made thyroid screening a regular thing and invested $10B/year into diagnostics, analysis, and study, i guarantee you in 5 years or less we would have the most effi

Lol, i would argue that engineers, many of whose primary job function is to imagine worst case scenarios and engineer around those to prevent accidents, data loss, etc. Are the exact type of people that are prone to hypochondria. It's

Literally all boarding schools up until like the 1950s. You realize that kids were dropping like flies before the 50s, right? Many US presidents had children who died of the flu. Coolidge, Lincoln, Eisenhower, and more. The school in questi

I'm sure you could trace the tribe genealogy and get in touch with tribe members that knew your grandparents and, never too late to get back in touch with your roots. Native American history and culture is so unique and beautiful, it&#

No, we are talking about copying the underlying asset, not the NFT. If you could 3-D print any physical object perfectly down to the atom, the collectibility of the original item would be hurt a lot. If there were potentially infinite perfe

Because at any time Mozambique can just nationalize Chinese assets and renege on any contract it signs with China. Investing in Africa is like running a payday loan store. It only works if your loans get repaid, and if the effort you have t

That's because lobster roll customers are rich yuppies. BBQ is for poor people who cannot afford good cuts of meat so they resort to pulverizing bad cuts of meat with smoke heat and sauce.
