I checked the comments to see if anyone pointed to this: I can imagine so many memes with this line :)

I don't think that most competent IT people are pushing for digital-only systems. The people that I see pushing for digitalization are either clueless politicians or corrupt or inc…

It is not corruption. Or not just corruption. A close relative, government employee, was in charge of building a new application. They have nobody in that entire organization of se…

I mean that higher end jobs don't want to be in an area where they don't enjoy. They are the higher tax payers and they want to enjoy their lives far from the kind of people that l…

And it is also a matter of age and stage in life. I enjoyed living in a big city (Bucharest) for the parties and socializing (in my 20), dancing (Casa de Tango) in my 30-40, with s…

This is a very bold and subjective statement. I don't disagree it is the best city in US for some people, but the objective best - I doubt it.

> New York is a city that people all around the world want to live in I don't know anyone that wants to live in NY. I would not move there for a 7 figure salary. I think some opini…

I guess many jobs don't want to be in the places where very cheap housing exists. What is the point of earning SV money and live in a bad neighbourhood?

That is the point: as a citizen in a city, you are part of that city and any contract the city is part of. Otherwise, what/who is a city?

That is just a bad deflection, not an answer to the point.

> just being a resident of a city doesn’t give you standing to sue over any decision that has a tenuous adverse effect on you Why not? If you are impacted, why not? When do you hav…

If it is a park, does it mean anyone living in the city has standing because their entire city lost the park?

How about we make taxation as a fix amount per citizen and then nobody needs to declare their income OR land? And it is equal and fair, as in "pay your fair share", and that's it: …

Yes. Most of the people I see are on the extremes of either hating LLMs or fanatically loving it, but I am somewhere in the middle ground, I think, where I see it as a tool that so…

What does the percentage has to do with anything? Do they have more percentage in voting? Or in the spending of the money they pay as taxes? I don't know how people have the guts t…

At least in the newest headset Sennheiser announced user replaceable battery, without announcing the price or if it is a standard format that you can buy everywhere or a very price…

First you are deflecting and going in discussions about points that were never made, then you keep preaching a system where you don't have property rights under the nice "think of …

You bought the land, so it is yours, right? Yes, I am fine with taxes, but not with any type of tax, not property taxes (it is bought with money already taxed) and not with taxes a…

That is basically removing property rights, when the land is not yours but you just rent it ... you will own nothing and be happy.

I also think UBI is necessary, but I don't have a political agenda on how to force people funding it. Maybe it's me growing in a communist country and hating it to death (communism…

I see the point, but I don't see what is wrong with that, and I am relatively poor person. I see calls for equality all over the place, but nobody wants to be equal, especially not…

I don't understand how some people write hundreds of text/chat messages per day. I am communicating by talking to people almost 100% of non-work, most of the discussions are face t…

I heard that lie about "sensible restrictions" so many times, now I am waiting for "sensible violence", "sensible beating to death" and so on. It is a false argument that "there wi…

Yes. Not often, but yes, it happens: when I am working on something where it takes me a few hours of deep focus to complete and I get interrupted, it can derail me for days. What d…

Lacking not just courage, but also character. Wasting company money on buzzwords and dubious outcomes is lack of character.
