What about CNY? China is world leader, surely its currency should be pretty stable. I, personally, started to invest my tiny savings into CNY.
How do you do that? Directly into currency or in china-traded stocks? Which broker do you use for that?

Personally I'd be okay with the population being 10% its current value (though I don't see any non-apocalyptic way of that coming to be). In any case, I think we should decrease our population to whatever extent possible.
But I guess that's just my opinion.
edit: I'm not really sure why you're being down-voted. You're just expressing your opinion here.
yeah... and it would be great if decrease in quantity would come with increase of quality. People themselves, their life conditions, human life appreciation all that stuff you know. (Cause I do not understand why would somebody want 2x of fat dolts).

> Look at software that has been around for decades, continues to improve, never "needs" a re-write, and will never be re-written. It exists and is not uncommon. Things like the linux kernel, all the GNU utils, emacs, vim, apache, nginx, postgres.
They don't get re-written because they can't be re-written without tearing down everything built on top. In every case though there is some newer software out there is inspired by but aiming to "fix" all the short comings of the predecessor.
Half of software you mentioned is just garbage inside. And it will never be rewritten simply because it happens to work good enough to discourage any serious investment in rewriting it.
good code is code that gets you promoted, increases your networth, and helps you retire faster
depending on your work environment, good code may actually be bad code.
Here! I'd say it is most of the time the bad code.
Many companies I worked at had forks of stanrdadd libraries internally
Same here. And every time that was a mistake and the fork sucks.

a country is not a startup. actually most things are not startups.
if things didn’t work out for you in the US that’s fine, just don’t assume you can see the future
Why not? It is very young (on countries scale) and burns money of investors without producing much value. Typical startup.
> I genuinely believe many people who prefer working in an office versus at home have unfulfilling social lives or bad home lives. The social dynamics, competition, in physical offices fills the void in their lives.
You're implying that this is a bad thing and I don't get why it should be.
No. I do not think he's implying it is a bad thing by itself. Instead he explicitly says that those are the people who try to solve their problems at expense of others.

Amazing. Kind of a gem that still keeps me subscribed to HN.

Nothing consequential. May be banned in Russia but mostly any source of information that disagrees with the Kremlins nareative suffers the same consequences.
Just read the article. That particular "source of information" is one-sided at least. I guess on Russian side that's still an overreaction but the country is at war (although they claim the opposite) so its... hmm... natural?
The sheer size of Google’s list vs Apple’s is why I’ve decided to never again use a Google service. There is no reliability there, nor is there any consistency - they kill products for no apparent reason - popular beloved products. The latest decision to turf anyone on Legacy Google Appa for your Domain accounts was the final straw. They are a truly reprehensible company.
Apparent reason is losing hope to monetize the product. They literally do not care how popular or beloved it is. In the end it is the business and not a charity foundation.
