makes sense why overwhelming amount of founders are white, far less black founders

Its puzzling how the world's richest country spends more than a country like South Korea on public transit and still stuck using Windows 98 and other ancient antics.

For instance the Seoul Metro yearly budget is 10x less than New York's yet it runs far longer and more efficient. It's also safer.

Seems especially rampant on FPS games. Often I see swastikas in custom banners in games like Battlefield. Reporting results in no change.

Many women for instance I know pretend to be men in these online games. Often the only people screaming and utilizing voice online seem to be of a specific demographic.

You can go after the bad apples and hope things will change but racism and all sorts of hate based ideologies are constantly touted by what I presume individuals with a lot of idle time.

I also see lots of talks of depression and mental health issues in the chats. I rather that they just remove the online chat feature and custom banners. Remove voice chat especially.

Really miss the days before voice chat because now its the equivalent of giving a village idiot a megaphone.

Perhaps people have been seeking a more generational leap but from the footage you are correct, they just iterated on top of what worked, and likely have thousands of hours of insight into what sells.

I was hoping that they would at least upgrade the graphic side of the things, it does seem like from this video, that it could easily be just another DLC.

Think after I saw that Matrix demo from Unreal Engine, that trend would carry on into city roaming sandbox games.

Still can't wait to pick up this game in 2 to 3 years when all the bugs are fixed and they have a discount.

Many founders seem like a doubtful choice of words. There are even more founders that have landed themselves in legal waters because they just assumed their employer would be understanding like them.

High risk of failure, high risk of litigation if we took your questionable anecdotes without any proof at face value and suggest to OP to do the same.

This is especially true for large companies with people who are hired to handle litigation and IP risk management.

> That's absurd. Are startups risky?

98% failure rate seems not only risky but reckless.

> "Fuck paying taxes, because who cares about the risk that the IRS will find me."

cheating the IRS has 100% failure rate unless you are in a position of power and wealth.

Not only is it necessary to know something is risky but to understand as so is key.

honestly if you have to ask this question and you can't think of actions to take by yourself, i question whether you are cut out for startup, its super risky and you seem risk adverse not only from asking the question.

i would recommend just keep looking at how to make sales. without customers you don't have a business.

horrible advice. there's no where on earth this will be accepted and defeats the OP's requirement of being employed WHILE validating an idea. 1. would get you sued

inflation means everybody takes home less pay year after year

if income is stagnant money loses value faster due to inflation.

inflation causes rapid drop in education quality

heatwave is also caused by global warming caused by co2 levels as energy use rises with inflation.

inflation then widens wealth parity gap and social media reminds individuals to take risks they cannot afford and so on....

inflation causes stock prices to rise and factory outputs, exports to rise leading to more energy consumption.

edit: i think i know why your brother is mad at you

Someone from rich part of vancouver die waiting in hospital bed because of shortage of workers.

another day on the news, someone suffered a stroke and because the ambulance didn't come on time she is partially paralyzed.

another couple had a miscarriage with the mother dying because surgical tools were not sanitized properly.

some desperate and sick of waiting travel to US or abroad (Korea, Japan).

family doctor, nurse shortage is half the problem. canadian medical school breadth of teaching is generalist and do not go deep enough.

there are now calls for privatization. i wish people would stop fetishizing canadian public health care, its better than nothing but behind the rest.

> Why can’t we be kind and considerate of each other?

inflation and social media.

before we had just inflation. now we have social media that magnifies it.

How can Canadian developers use this to gain access to US markets?

how is this possible without a dedicated gPU? thought stable diffusion would require far more horsepower

I wonder for those situations where you experience catastrophic failures at low altitude situations where you can't deploy the chutes, whether some type of short burst rockets situated around the plane could activate to "cushion" the plane and orientate it to safety.

Sort of like the short takeoff/land rockets used in large military planes.

Very interesting point but this chute is seriously making me consider taking flying lessons. Compared to motorcycle, plane is far safer. If an engine fails you can still glide to safety. Failing that deploy this chute.

One additional feature safety would be terrain recovery where if it detects you are unconscious, the plane would automatically pull out of the dive or avoid terrain obstacles (like side of a mountain) and place itself in a holding pattern. Taking a step further, the plane would identify nearest field without traffic or powerlines and deploy the chutes to land itself.

The last two layers are really nice to haves, its already incredible to have chutes readily available in private jets. Now its tough to argue that flying is inherently dangerous with these extra layers of last resort measures.

Having said that I do think cheaper alternatives to this Cirrus jet already exists, nothing wrong with propeller planes either. My goal would be to be able to do bush flying, landing on top of mountain fields, camping for a while and then flying back home.
