Personally, I don't see any problems here. I guess it just comes down to taste. Also I enjoy colorful neighbour's:)

So perhaps you shouldn't have bought a house? You are now a slave to some materialistic object.

I owned houses for a long time. Wouldn't say a homeless person sleeping on my street would be a problem.

I eventually sold the houses, btw and sleep much better now. But I understand the Bay Area is built on status unfortunately.

This so much !

Hacker News is social media no?

The US is definitely loosing its global economic hegemony-- so of course they'll grasp at straws now.

Why does the US act as global police here? This is a Korean matter.

I think my definition is actually useful. Your definition means if I am on a bus with 100 people, at least one of them has a net worth of 11 million USD. I don't think so. Totally don't believe this.

What's a VHCOL and W2?

Anyways, I dont get your point. Rich people work ALOT! More for sure than 9-5 usually but they work. You seem to be confusing rich with "independently wealthy", aka: I inherited a large sum of money from my father Sam Walton, etc.

FAANG people are absolutely rich compared to anyone else and easily make the 1%. Think about that: out of 100 people do they make more than the other 99 people that work in cafes and Amazon warehouses?

The answer is yes.

Though we ourselves are by definition part of the universe and thus nature.

Cultural...and economic. I guess in places where there are arranged marriages, or living together is shunned upon, this is true. However as far as I can tell generation z is complaining about the economic situation that disables them from moving out. So it's definitely not cultural there.

You must have bad luck. Many middle managers are previous ICs who are still trying to pay the bills -- they're not automatically bad people. Consider also that bad companies hire bad people -- so maybe you could consider that as well.

My experiences with management have been pretty positive. But I am biased: if my situation sucks -- I leave. Perhaps you stayed longer than you should have...

What was the ACTUAL lesson with these two? I can guess your intent, but could you specify? Also I think the grand father version instead of the baby version. Apple is massive...

> Construction is the one step that cannot be easily cheated

This is a great quote, btw.

Haha. The joys of autocorrect :)

And yet their rockets really work!

The main reason I got my first hob was to be able to move out. My parents drove me nuts. I've been independent ever since.

I'd rather live in a tiny studio with just a mattress than live with them. Also nothing signals undateable more than "I love with my parents".

We can't accoubt for stupidity true. Almost every situation I encounter is a learning opportunity. Even a repetitive one where you learn : "Gee, I shouldn't do that again." : is a lesson.

That's not true. Crypto is fine in most of Asia. Most of these countries are very respectable.

Thats still not fun though.

He's kind of right though.

3) We probably don't know WHAT it's train of thought is -- what it's thinking -- so at that point have lost control of it. We will have no idea what it will so next, and be unprepared to counter anything it does. We literally then become another "AI" (the human race) against it.

I'm surprised. I thought it was only men that did bad things these days.

For a moment I read it as police raided Clearview AI. Sadly this is not the case.

This is a stupid title though. It's just Bittrex US. I can't think of a worse country to do crypto business in so it should come as no surprise. Bittrex Global seems perfectly fine.

OK well at least you are honest about your bias, so thanks for that. Using your analogy though no one is being cut here. You are projecting that they are cut, but they never are. And medical procedures to improve appearance aren't fake, they simply create a new look and in Asia they lead to ALOT of improvements in self esteem. The medical reason is it makes them feel better.

I hear Sweden is also a cashless society with occasional negative interest rates -- sounds wonderful. Are there any benefits? For example if you pay on negative interest rates can you apply that to your income tax filing?

Ah it could be if you learn from it-- which it sounds like they did. They would have learned mire imagine than if they had never had to make those choices and live with the consequences.

They're not suffering though. And they're choosing it. That's my point. You seem to be projecting your own bias here.

Is this more your issue though? The "beauty apps" feature are super popular here in Asia. So again subtle colonialism where the west forces their ideal on Asia.

That's your western opinion though.
