  • Treat it objectively and ignore that it’s a Final Fantasy game.

    I loved it. Everything from the story to the music to the combat. I bought and played through both DLCs as well. For me, it is the perfect mix of a great movie and great video game.

  • Everyone suffers. Now that work has ramped back up post pandemic, it is very apparent how our talent pools have been impacted.

    It’s the worst kind of problem: hard to fix and slow to show fairly significant consequences.

  • Slow down your thinking and consider this: why would any practical person fully develop something without getting market feedback and understanding demand?

    This is by the book “Preto-typing”. You can frame it as lying, but the reality is Apple had faith that all of the “faked” features in the demonstration would be fully developed before launch.

    IBM did something similar before voice-to-text existed. They faked the technology during market research and discovered that people didn’t enjoy speaking to their computer as much as initially thought. It showed them that they could better invest that money elsewhere.

    It would make zero sense and be a foolish use of capital to fully develop a product that complex and expensive without understanding market preferences.

    This is a non-story, rage-bait headline.

  • I’m skeptical of a 1000 person survey, especially when overall home sales are still down.

    That being said, some people may be getting tired of waiting and willing to gamble on refinancing with favorable interest rates in the future.

  • Anyone that bought when rates were still 2-3% isn’t selling unless they’re being forced. Why would they, considering their real interest rate is negative at this point.

    This is a non-headline because it’s reporting on something that was expected to happen when interest rates rose.

    That being said, this does suck for those who have yet to purchase their first home. Property investors buying with cash have no incentive to stop buying. This is where government should step in and regulate. Those conversations should be headlining instead.

  • My summary of his book is that people rise to power by contributing to the greater good. They empathise with those around them and are likeable. Power is thus given to them by others.

    The paradox is that it’s been suggested by several studies that those that gain power (or those that feel powerful) tend to be less empathetic and focus more on themselves.

    He does not prescribe to the Lord of the Flies world view.

    Question to Immigrants in America regarding health insurance

    I’m conducting some research on the health insurance market and am particularly interested in the experience of immigrants.

    This is for a school project.

    I’d really appreciate any responses to these questions:

    If you currently have health insurance, why did you choose that insurer/plan?

    If you don’t have coverage, what options are available to you?

    Is it difficult to find effective healthcare options that are both in coverage and available?

    What personal changes would you like to see (in either the healthcare or insurance aspects)?
