Yes. The planned directive is a fiduciary duty to maximize profit for shareholders in combination with a lack of protection for those who face the externalities of these incorporated entities. We are maximizing for capital growth rather than happiness, and undervalue life.

The retina screen alone would cost $400+ for a windows. And the Mac is much more of a pro tool when doing creative work. My windows machines always crash on me.

Our democratic Governments are ultimately held accountable by voters and not their fiduciary obligation to maximize profit for shareholders. There is a more humanist element to governments.

A metaverse is just the republic of facebook. Its really uncomforting for such an entity devoid of humanistic incentives(and rather a asocial ceo with a fiducial obligation to his share holders) will be able to create a plane of virtual reality that much of the world will have no better option but to leverage. Its one thing to provide advertising subsidized internet. But a metaverse Is where our future children will be spending alot of their time, and if not our children, our childrens friends.

And this is where interviewing gets hard. Are we really going to not hire someone because hash table is O(n) in the worst case but O(1) on average. It seems like half the time there isnt a match, the interviewer is just as wrong as the candidate, and they are looking for someone who knows the same info as them, even if its half baked.

Hey, lets link up. Does HN have dm's?

Yup, mortgages are around 3% and the fed rate is near 0 for the next year or 2. If inflation averages over 3% per year, you are getting paid the difference to borrow.

But when you take out a morgage you can leverage 800k of the banks money at negative real interrst rates, effectively paying you tens of thousands over the course of the loan and any appreciation of that asset gets multiplied by 5x on your initial down payment.

How is that possible, its surrounded by a national forrest necessarily creating a regulatory interference.

The issue is that all the business models in Tahoe seem to be failing, you can't have a modern town without a coffee shop, but the business cant generate enough to pay a few year round employees to live in comuting distance. A town cant be completely served by the children of second home owners the entire year.

These towns are owned in many ways by Vail resorts. Economically and politically.

And then you are stuck at the will of that one company. My first roommate in a mountain town was not like by his manager, got fired and kicked out of company housing. Many people will take shelter in their cars in the national forrest for the summer. These mountain town workforces are essentially homeless, (well in many ways by choice) but these towns keep leveraging US public property for supplying land for camping, keeping wages lower than the housing and utility prices demand. Furthermore, how fun can a town full of transient vacationers really be if all the youths cant manage to go out or have a place to party.

I was built to work a lottle bit everyday as part of a loving tribe, with a wide variety of skills and a direct experience of the fruits of my labor. Get me that and work becomes a blessing.

"carefully thought through what it is you want to do with that freedom"

I used to think this way, now I severely disagree, I think nowwhat you want in life cant be anticipated with thought, it can only be hewn out of a rough stone through trial, error, success, and reflection. Atleast thats been my arc over the last 16 years working towards happiness and freedom.

For example, have you ever had a long term regret that you finally faced only to come away thinking, "Now that Im in this position, I should have never regretted not being here." The regret disappears and you feel much more confident in your ability to steer yourself.

You only gain true perspective through actions, not thought, how could you, your thoughts are siloed from reality.

The most applicable knowledge I ever got was from a seasoned vet seeing promise in me and taking me under their wing as a mentee. 2 people in 2 different careers helped shape my path and gave me a perspective of the world that my parents and schooling could not. I hope you reach out to your kids friends, and give them that mentorship(even the subtlest kind of mentorship, e.g. "hey if your interested in this, please reach out if you have any questions or seeking advice" can make such a large impact on confidence, grit, and determination.)

I grew up wanting to be an architect, so I became a software engineer. Theres less red tape and more funding in the ether.

If you do UI, its essentially the abstraction of the architect profession.

Looking forward to an immersive vr web where I can start really building out digital built environments.

Where do people get off with this no real world use argument. There are traditional financial institutions at this very moment using ethereum, private blockchains, to run financial services.

And home owners tend to vote in elections, especially local ones.

Is a bathtub full if it just got started filling at a high rate?

Combustion creates all sorts of carcinogens. Even wood.

Do you see no value in throwing these "dumb contracts" out there and seeing what happens? An expensive experiment for the speculators, but we got to the moon on a roman candle iterated a billion times, so I'm personally just curious about these programmable organizations of digitalized willpower.

I think you are missing the point of these high protein diet fads. It's structured to replace conventional highly processed carb diets with something appealing/tasty and ultimately filling. It's a ween off the bad habit diets prevalent in much our modern culture. And allows you to do so at traditional restaurants, you can maintain your social groups and rituals. On the other hand going vegan is not easy to do, its hard to take an average American single persons home cooking knowledge to the point where they can cook filling (and tasty) plant based meals. (Unless you have some ethnic food knowledge that your family gave you.

Its the low bar of picking up a rotisserie chicken vs cooking from home that drives the "obsession". In the end its much better than starting off with a bowl of cereal, getting a fast casual lunch at chipotle, and eating steak and white potatoes for dinner.

Interestingly, certain areas will have more access to good tasting vegan meals. In those areas, there is enough economic demand for these foods that the groceries, the cafes, the restaurants all give people easy onramps into integrating plant based foods into their diets.
