You do not have to learn stuff 'you hate' to be a contractor. And Go is very much in demand. Surely you could be a contractor using Go? I do not see why you have live in a small town either? You could just a well just live 20-40 min outside city center or in a smaller flat.

I do not think that this article deserves the 2 place on hackernews front-page.

Is it true that the debt-rate in Denmark is high, but that is debt in DKK, which is very importent. The majority of the real-estate is owned by huge pensions funds and institutions which are also danish.

As other mentioned the numbers do not seem to be normalized either.

I have to disagree with the others. Since AlphaZero I think chess is closed to being solved. Technically it is not, but practically is is.

Chess is a hard game to solve completely, and I think one reason is that there are many states in chess where there is not one superior move, but only a probable optimal move, in the sense that the game-tree for winning against the move is smaller than other moves. Then the agent/player has to guess what the opponents strategy is given that move, and that depends on the opponent.

I plays are truly creative, and its results speak for itself.

From wiki: "In AlphaZero's chess match against Stockfish 8 (2016 TCEC world champion), each program was given one minute per move. Stockfish was allocated 64 threads and a hash size of 1 GB,[1] a setting that Stockfish's Tord Romstad later criticized as suboptimal. AlphaZero was trained on chess for a total of nine hours before the match. During the match, AlphaZero ran on a single machine with four application-specific TPUs. In 100 games from the normal starting position, AlphaZero won 25 games as White, won 3 as Black, and drew the remaining 72. In a series of twelve, 100-game matches (of unspecified time or resource constraints) against Stockfish starting from the 12 most popular human openings, AlphaZero won 290, drew 886 and lost 24."
