Some races really do look more similar to each other than others. In America there is a high degree of mixed genes, that you don’t find in a more homogenous genetic pool such as Japan or places in Africa.

Any time someone gives me some max capacity estimate to aim for, I multiply it by 10 and design the system for that. That’s 10x developer thinking.

It’s bad. Many debt slaves were created in the recent mortgage and housing crisis, and a lot of workers are furious and apathetic working these long hours for little to no pay.

This has become so frequent that I wonder if there’s an opportunity in creating an independent bag retrieval service if you know where your bag is and just need someone to go get it and ship it to you. Some kind of gig based thing.

Hate to be a downer but I think this idea would be a fire hazard. The stairwell just isn’t made for this use or capacity. It’s a transient, liminal space.

The original logic doesn’t go far enough. You can build on someone’s land, but you’d be wise to be ready to move as soon as it becomes necessary. Essentially you are a nomad, reconfiguring your business to changing conditions, accepting tha

Problem is some of those have been cut and re-edited to remove “controversial” content for modern audiences. Gotta get the old school vintage stuff. VHS, laser discs.

I will likely use some form of vim as my editor for the entirety of my professional life. Wish I could say I wrote software that would be used for an entire person’s lifetime. RIP Bram, you did good.

Pretty good idea, then employees could exchange tokens between themselves for other goods or services if they don’t want company stuff.

Is a perpetual motion machine now possible with a room temp superconductor like this?

I feel cryogenic storage of people would work far better if it was driven by some cult-like or religious beliefs rather than monetary motivation, where dead bodies are managed as well as possible simply because it’s the right thing to do.

You are forgetting the efficiency gains future homes will make so they require less power. Partly thanks to the rise of room temperature superconducting.

If you’ve only lived in small tiny spaces then you don't know what you’re really missing. Big houses means big hobbies: you’re not gonna fire up a tablesaw on your tiny balcony, probably not gonna install a lift in your one car garag

We need a paid version of this where we can put in some money to hold up the sky.

I’m fairly certain this loan is either a private individual or a HELOC or something. No way is a bank just going to loan out a bunch of money to some startup like this.

I’m curious, how are those loans guaranteed?

It’s not “work from home” abuse. You’re not really paying people to be at a computer working exactly 40 hours a week. You’re paying people to solve problems and create value. There is not a 1:1 correlation between time and results in this

Well this would be included in your payment for the service, a day care type home for regenerated humans. Maybe covered by insurance even.
