I may be being slightly too misanthropic when I say this, but I'd just string a nice long steel wire across the street they race on so they decapitate themselves :)

not everyone can afford housing in the center/quiet bourgeois district of a major urban area. It's possible that those living near the airport live there because they have to, not because they want to. :)
you make it sound so easy...
why not just waltz into Russia, tell Putin and pals to leave and replace them with kind, competent, generous leaders?
that seems like a logical contradiction.
Money made with ads = how much advertisers pay
Money made with ads per user = how much advertisers pay / number of users.
If they average to... $10/user, then it's viable.
ask for donations.
Make good work, people will pay to support it. Works for NPR.
for who?
Is the value that Google gets from one user having ads really that high?
Youtube Premium is only ~$10/month, does Google really make that much more with ads?
you solve this by leaving an ad supported business model in favor of asking for donations.
Write a document website with a Patreon like gwern.net instead of some bloated ad-sponsored clickbait like BuzzFeed.
Ask HN: Why is Google Premium not a thing?

Their founders lack of a third vacation home. :p
There are a relatively large number of companies that aren't really "solving a problem" but still making bank.
For example, what problem is Instagram solving? Giving advertisers an even easier way to target insecure teenage girls?
> Sounds like a lot of work to me. In other words, the teflon pan is actually more convenient.
I'm probably being a little nitpicky/contrarian when I say this, but for my cooking style, teflon is actually more.
I cook with large amounts of fat (generally beef fat - tallow and/or suet) every meal, which on Teflon causes a nightmare of a mess to clean. With my cast iron pan, I just wipe off a bit of the excess and let the rest say in the pan, forming a non-stick coating. I've not cooked any eggs in a while, but I reckon (granted, possibly falsely, since I've not tested this) that I would fry one without any special precautions due the amount of grease I cook with in normal times.
So for some people, the cast iron cooking style is actually easier because there is less cleaning.
Thank you for further explaining your point of view.
I think also that the US's healthcare is partially to blame - if you had universal healthcare, then poor people would also (in theory) have equal access to drug prescriptions.
I do think that, generally speaking, many drugs are best done under medical supervision. I have a friend of my brothers who died of a heroin overdose, her first time trying the drug. I tell myself that if we lived in a world where foolish college kids have to go to a pharmacy and get their hits administered by a registered pharmacist, maybe she'd still be alive.
I also generally agree that the War on Drugs is bullshit. It didn't work for alcohol during prohibition, and it's not working now. The smart move is legalize, tax and regulate.
it's just that the market is different in different countries.
I'm in France, making 32,000Eur/year with 1 YoE. I had a friend in America making 130,000$ with roughly the same amount of experience.
Americans pay much more for the same work. That said, you can probably find some remote jobs that pay US salaries in Italy if you look around a bit.
but... I write my resumé in markdown and compile it to PDF with pandoc ...
Something similar happened around the fall of the Soviet Union.
Yelstin gave every Russian citizen a certificate worth 10,000 rubbles to buy shares in state owned enterprises that were being privatized.
Those with ready cash bought the certificates from those without, and this led to the current oligopoly.
Isn’t Kolmogorov Complexity hard to measure, because it depends on the language chosen?
Thank you for sharing this tip ^_^
because they have a growing number of paying customers.
we have a similar thing in France, called CIFRE :)
you can always start now by doing an undergrad. :)
I've had students aged above 50 years old in my undergrad degree, and I plan on going back to school myself for another undergrad in an unrelated field in my 30s.
well, I can only answer for my specific case, but the way I made friends at the gym was basically people noticing that I was doing the Olympic lifts and commenting on that, plus occasionally giving random compliments/technique tips to people.
By weightlifting club I mean an association centered around competitive Olympic lifting. So you train individually, but can sign up for competitions, and are generally always around competitive lifters.
I've also heard CrossFit has a good community, not sure how accurate this is, however.
