To provide an edgy answer, we live in a rather peaceful time...
We haven't had a good old fashioned War to accelerate our technological advancements. As humans were rather adept at finding new and creative ways to kill each other and then ultimately repurposing it for good later on...
This is like why are hedge funds still using excel to model. Also why is SAS stilll used
Im going to go against the grain here but I think it might be good to be able to get good data on homeless populations. Much data now is not accurate. At the very least this will provide key data points that could help resolve and better serve these populations
I believe a focus the whys would be helpful in this discussion. Most comments seem to accept the status quo rather than asking
Why do we have bullies?
Why is being smart "not cool"?
I stopped reading after the author mentioned that Yang thinks that Ubi will solve issues. Have you actually read into some of the things he said, Ying explicitly says he does not think it will solve everything. Rather it gives people a bit of leeway in the short-term to focus on other things. With the hope that it will lead to more entrepreneurial things, but knows more likely it will go towards random things in each individual's life
How about finding ways to rehab these people instead of finding creatively hide them away at the fringes of cities and towns.
Honestly I don't understand the complaints.. For almost any technical career you will need to do some form of self study.. Also this program is aiming to compete with 4 year comp sci students. So yes you're going to need to grind to make up in <1 year what took someone 4.

For example: It pay$ to change jobs early in ones career. If you stay longer than 2 years out of some missplaced loyalty youll miss out of some quick dollars. Tons of caveats but in general it works. Now caveat it seems to peak around your 5 or 6th switch.
Source: All my mates and I have switched at the cadence and weve averaged a 15% increase in salary
This is usually how I view things as a millennial. With the infinite amount of information that's available at ones fingertips it seems almost ignorant sometimes to not seek out information on your own terms instead of asking someone.
However I will say I have had to develop the skill of knowing when to stop searching my own and just ask someone
Someone please correct me, because with a planet that is at 111 light years away aren't we technically looking back in time?
Any type of observation was only a period Of time and any type of life used to be there, but may not be there presently?
Sorry this doesnt fly.
I think at best we can conclude that the trading methods used by the sample are ineffective for day trading in Brazil. Now if their methods are similar to that of the population, one may be able to conclude that common day trade methods are unsustainable within the brazilian market
Never understood why this doesnt get any press. Its absurd
What do they mean by "delete" ? Is this only FB? What about its 279387429 other connectors
This from the same company that hasnt turned a profit..
Can confirm , in my 20s and it feels like the interal pressure to create something gets greater everyday.
The worst part is that I came close a few years ago but couldnt rally my partners to continue past the research phase...
However more recently ive been calming myself by just focusing on the present
Elon has been quite open about the fact that he wants to just try new things. If things work great he gets the shift economy's, otherwise he just keeps going to the next thing. If you can't get with it then hop off
