You are correct, but that doesn't mean this will hold true forever.

Not OP, but I believe the answer is "on nothing". There is no way to know where it will go. It's just supposition and very specific numbers like this make me cringe hard.

Public transport is pretty good in the UK, but not to the point of being able to live without a car for a large portion of the population. In London, there is the tube and driving in the city is quite dreadful, so I guess that is the except

Your example is anectodal, hence basically worthless. There is a lot of inefficieny in the market, some of it inherent, some of it due to artifical constraints like location, but over time those tend to naturally get normalized. What I'

That was my first thought exactly. I find it incredible that there are so many proposed pretend solutions when the real cause is well-understood. I wonder if they are just faking it, truly incompetent or incapable or if I am missing somethi

While I do understand where this view is coming from, I think it's also a major waste of time to complain about it. Let me put it this way - you are not entitled to a high-earning FAANG job. It's really that simple. It's a fr

I believe that should have been phrased very differently, my mistake. What I meant is that I can easily imagine a better interviewer. He is a bit dull and uses the word "love" too much for my taste, but that's about it, to be

I can't say that I particularly like him, so I guess I listen to him because there are no better alternatives I am aware of. If there are any that are better, I'd be happy to hear about them. With that said, I almost can't un

In Europe you have guaranteed minimum wage, can't be fired without good reason, healthcare, all sorts of other help if you lose your job, public transport/cheap means of getting around. It's not even close for the typical wor

You are comparing apples and orages. Coinbase was generous, it could have chosen to give them exactly 0 and that would have been legal. You're taking the best case scenario in one case and comparing it to the norm in another country.

You are very young and at the start of your career. I know you might feel like you should've "finished learning" by now, but finishing university is actually just an arbitrary milestone. The learning never stops. At worst, yo

Cars and what you described are not the only two options. Your perspective is way too American. Visit Europe and maybe you'll understand.

It was both. The Netherlands had relatively high bike usage before "the cycling revolution" in the 70s, but either way it's kind of a moot point. Either way, if you're trying to insinuate that you first need the bikes an

I believe the way you feel migh also be somewhat due to a lack of exposure to the environment in which Russians live. While I'm not Russian and have never been to Russia, I do come from Eastern Europe, so a former communist country, an

This is such a common error in judgement, but I don't really know its name. Does anyone know? I'm genuinely curious. I'm referring to the "I'll do X when others do Y" type of reasoning.

Quite obviously, the logical conclusion is that institutions are always wrong, no matter what. It is obvious that digging stuff out of the ground and then burning it for 2 centuries cannot possibly have any side-effects. It's all good,
