lol just a lot less (overt) slurs and slightly more intelligible formatting

Such a good point. For all the pride that South Korea has around its successes, how good of a society can it be, if it is an abject failure when it comes to repopulation?

Won't this just devolve into a "live to die another day" situation? Most likley just a few days later? I feel super skeptical about these "billionaire survival" compounds because t…

With a price locked in?

>Well their kids could live in them Unlikely. There's a very high likelihood the house will have to be sold, either to pay off debts of the deceased (or bereaved), or because the c…

>Unless the housing supply increases this will just be a temporary thing. The housing supply will increase dramatically in the next decade, not by building but by attrition. More t…

Can anyone ELI5 the significance of this?

Yeah, it's not super well executed by any means and its relegated to a very small section of the mall, but I still believe the idea is good and could be successful if nurtured corr…

KidZania is next level tho. Absolutely insane

I too believe this is the answer. In San Bruno, CA a portion of the mall there is dedicated to small experiences for children (a miniature play town, a bounce room, etc). I've take…

Strongly agree with Ghana. Seems like a reasonable way to stick up for yourself.

>"players can make far more than that playing in leagues overseas" THEN GO PLAY OVERSEAS!!!! Half of the people on HackerNews are immigrants to one country or another. Why should w…

You need access to the software that runs those SOCs which is owned by Qualcomm. Qualcomm isn't just going to give the sourcecode of those SOCs for Google engineers to tinker aroun…

Never said knives were less dangerous than guns just that an assailant swinging a knife can do damage, but if your argument is that if get rid of guns we can get rid of mass killin…

Innocent bystanders can be stabbed in knife attacks. Can and does happen

I remember reading some version of the story where he figured out what companies were on the rise by going through peoples trash. Like he would make note of what people were actual…

You'd be surprised how many Google employees have a warped view of the company or even that of what a business is suppose to do. There are some people with the org that would genui…

So I work for a FAANG company and I worked on a tech partnership with Disney. To Disney's credit, they are INCREDIBLY understanding about the need for all families to have a good d…

Not reeeeally though. Because no new inventory is being created. Because amount of usable square footage actually decreases, you technically end up with less housing than you start…

>Agreed, I see this mostly as an expert-assist thing Thats exactly what happened to the dental AI startup I mentioned. They started off with "we make dental care more efficient" es…

I would also add that there is going to be INCREDIBLE resistance to AI/ML applications. Both from menial AND skilled labor fronts. I've been following a dental AI startup. They've …

AI/ML still feels like a nothingburger to me. Yeah i get there are some applications in some niche tasks, but we're like in the 1970s of the AI/ML revolution if we compare it to th…

This sounds plausible, but as someone else said, has this ever been proven to be the case? What are some good examples?

> The people who are landlords agree to the risk of owning a property and renting it out to someone. Why should I feel bad when the risk comes to fruition? Why should anyone? Ok th…

WTF was the point of pay people unemployment and stimulus checks, if not to pay their bills/rent? I can't believe we as society just laughed and robbed all the landlords. This is t…
