The issue is the social media bit. Someone paid for my groceries without filming it then yeah I'd just pay for the next persons.

Yeah this I go to the market in a hoodie and joggers, - looking as rough as hell. But if somebody paid for my groceries and was filming it all without my permission I'd be mad as hell. Aside from not needing others to pay for my groceries, it's an invasion of privacy.

There are plenty of concrete/building material companies that do make a fortune: Heidleberg 18.85bn EUR Cemex 13bn USD CRH 27.59bn EUR

Operating rockets and satellites, and using them to provide services back on Earth—is about $400 billion industry and is only going to grow. There will be plenty of companies that make a fortune in a market that size with relatively few players.

"Ethiopia violence: Facebook to blame, says runner Gebrselassie" This is the headline from BBC in 2019. It makes me so angry and upset. If facebook was run ethically how much smaller would it really be? 10%? 20%? I can't help think that although they would lose some customers they would also gain others.

The writer makes a lot of good points.

Essentially he has been responsible for 'the reinvention of money, automobiles and space travel, there’s always someone who says: “Yeah, but I hear he can be a real dick.”

Take that, Elon.

"But self-driving cars will kill people! Grow up"

Damn you are going to kill it with current shipping prices being INSANE. I heard containers that used to ship for $4k now cost $20k. Delivery times have blown from 50 days to 250 days.

This is great I know insurers for insurers absolutely kill it and I think this will be a massive success. Question though, would you lend to new startup lending companies - i.e. those without any lending history? That's the game changer - presumably you could have contracts that give you extra oversight in this case?

Whenever I see these kind of take downs on HN I always get reminded of the Coinbase and Dropbox take downs and countless others of eventual very successful companies. I actually think the poster makes some interesting points - if they could be framed as more of a question it might have been more helpful. I for one will be be signing up at some point - I circle through the various sites subscribing and unsubscribing regularly - disney, netflix, discovery, paramount, hulu, prime etc so this will get added to the list.

My key question is how are you going to bulk out the offering - I think there is value in a smaller set of curated content but to keep my subscription I'll need to be able to get several months of content?

Could you not just focus on originals and licence some old classics as well?

Can they genuinely survive this. I mean doesn't it just become patreon without the porn?

Isn't obesity a result of food addiction?

Agree - I think psychology is everything. It's odd that drinking too much and drugs is always put down to trauma, stress, and psychological treatment is seen as number 1, whereas with food addiction - it's often ignored to the very last.

People can argue until they're blue in the face but if you eat less calories than you burn you will lose weight. The problem is people with trauma plus a food addiction are not able to do this.

Is there any research around where you live and propensity for morbid obesity - especially living by the sea? I could only find one study which did support this theory but it was in the UK. I live in Bondi Beach where socialising is essentially exercising - surfing, swimming, kayaking etc etc and anecdotally I don't think I've ever seen a morbidly obese person in over 30 years (I know this sounds ridiculous and maybe it's because they never leave the house but it's true).

It's quite concerning given the amount of people who will be trying to sell right now. Even a short period of being locked out of trading could cost people thousands of dollars. I'm sure they're protected in their terms of use but I wouldn't use an exchange that can't keep live with high volumes.
