> Any language takes at least 3-5 years to fully master. That really depends on the language and their background. Going from C to C++ and you can be pretty functional pretty quickly, and comfortable in a year. Your big hurdle then is wh

> Which is in practice really no different from meme stocks today. Which is exactly my point. Crypto is a decentralized meme stock. Unless crypto finds a way to become just a normal currency, it'll go the way of all memes over time:

Discarding applicants for game dev experience and claiming there's a dev shortage is completely bizarre. It's like starting a restaurant and banning chefs with baking experience.

You’re not opting out of anything. At the end of the day, everyone is trading their crypto for dollars or another government currency. Crypto is opting out of real money is the same way buying an unstable stock is. People are buying it hopi

Others seem to think your claim for evidence is unreasonable, but I think it's a perfectly reasonable to ask. One thing I've seen is that Indigenous Australian oral history is thought to extend back at least 37,000 years[1]. Natur

They’re referring to the fact Gaza/Palestine is one of the densest countries in the world. Gaza is also completely surrounded by sea and another country, so it’s an incredibly dense place with no room to grow. Seoul and Paris are also

That's... an odd assessment. As someone from a family of farmers, yes, people can be fat and work on farms. I know people who are in the fields everyday and with beer bellies like you wouldn't believe. This man is 72. The fact he&

We’re rapidly approaching an Ubik-like future where every object demands payment before use. Maybe the idea of paying to open a fridge or unlock a door wasn’t just a silly sci-fi concept—maybe the wrong person just hasn’t considered doing s

Yeah, furu is shockingly close to cheese in flavor. It's very pungent and salty, so you can't just just chop off a huge slice and eat it like you would cheese, but you could probably blend it with creamier tofu/soy milk to ma

The US is at a point where it's far more of a shame-driven society than Japan. One wrong move and you, your family, and your employer are trending on twitter and national news and apologizing for your entire existence while everyone pu

People do report these things to facebook. They might maybe possibly kind of sometimes take it down, or they might not. But one or two small news stories come out and they apologize and say there's nothing that can be done, then a big

Wild to me that when it comes to drug offenses, the law is turning away from punishing the buyers and towards punishing sellers. But when it comes to the sex industry, it's steering the opposite direction.

No, because not everybody wants to live in the same city, country, climate, culture, whatever. But what we do have today are cities that economically dominate their region with people commuting an hour or more each way just to make ends mee

What? That makes zero sense. If you book in advance and your plane is delayed by a whole day, your ticket is void. That's it. You're done. ...In which case you can just show up to the station and buy an unreserved ticket and ride,

What? No. I live in Japan and you absolutely do not need to book trains in advance, ever, for any reason. It's a good idea if you're planning to travel during peak hours on the first and last days of a major holiday period, but th
