Weather: Canada's weather certainly isn't the best, but not really worse than other northern climate countries. Housing: Large cities like Toronto and Vancouver are unaffordable, but so are other large cities like London, New York

No idea where the 80% or 90% coverage comes from, but let’s assume the numbers are right and you get 90% with just 20% of the current staff. Spotify has revenue of 13 billion a year. 10% of that is a bit more than a billion. Spotify has 900

How does that affect how many people are in the top 1 percentile or bottom 50?

Paperwork is my nightmare. I don't forget to do them, I just can't seem to get started on them even if they're simple and quick. Things I've done in the past - Put off paying a traffic citation until I got a late fine th

The cost numbers make no sense without a denominator. Take home looks like per month, 401l per year. Rental, per ..? 13k per month for rent is insane, per year is super cheap.

Lots of things stated as fact that isn’t necessarily supported. How do you know they are the smartest and most driven people alive? How do you know we are at equilibrium? I open up 100 spots and pick a terrible qualifying criteria I can sti

That's not a good public transit. Personally I wouldn't consider any city in the US to have good public transit. Traveling around in Tokyo, Hong Kong, Shanghai for instance, I never even look at the train schedule unless it's

You keep talking about collusion. Do you have any supporting data to back this up?

Maybe it’s the language and phrasing that implies 1 of the 2 extremes. 1. Self made, implying it was solely the efforts of a said persons OR 2. Product of timing, luck, circumstance, implying there was nothing special about what the said pe

Doesn’t really matter if the users are there if the revenue isn’t. Revenue seems to be the struggle at the moment.

So most developers would have to wait tables to make ends meet while they try to make it big?

That’s the scale of the internet though. It’s either google or 1000 smaller googles. The amount of work required doesn’t change.

There is risk of selection bias here. The companies that runs into [[whatever]] are the ones that made it far enough to have run into it. What you're not seeing are all the companies that tried to do what google does at scale, built a

Thing is I don’t need a tool that won’t fail me. I need a wrench once every couple of years and not for anything difficult. I got a cheap set from Amazon. I know it’s low quality and not the most durable, but it’s sufficient for my use case

I think we also focus and celebrate too much the route of college drop out start up founders. For these cases yes some family wealth is definitely beneficial as a safety net. But there are also plenty of people that have worked for a while,

I'm not sure the expense of reduced quality is even an issue. Just like an (decent quality) spice rack I buy from a store is probably better quality than spice rakes built by most people, an app built on a (decent quality) framework is

So only businesses under a certain size can ever be sold. If you happen to do well and the business is worth say 10 million, which mom and pop can buy it?

Not American and not familiar with American history so apologies if this is a stupid question. The reason as I understand it for AA for black Americans is the history of slavery. What is the reason for applying AA to hispanics?

Not like Chinese Americans had it easy in the past, why aren't they adjusted upwards instead of downwards? Fundamental issues I have with aiming for basically equal outcome by artificially tipping the scale until some metric evens out:
