Don't drink coffee I take tea my dear.

Like my toast done on one side

Sounds like a recipe for big problems.

Building storey height varies widely from just under the 14-foot average to well above it.

You can have 11 op. Not 16.

Do further study at a university that does have machine learning expertise.

Sorry, not a 5 to 6 month solution there.

> the louvers are tilted for privacy, both from street level and building windows above.

but from the FAQ you posted...

> How does The Portland Loo® help reduce inappropriate use such as prostitution and drugs? The open bottom and top of the restroom allow sight lines

I mean... it can't be both.

Wait so may body expulsion sounds and smells are practically out in the open in a high foot traffic area?

And literally anyone can lean down and watch people go to the bathroom through the open slat design?

FuckSantosdeSantos?

E aí

Plot twist: OP's brother works for Big Rat.

> expensive af coz of excessive government regulation

Ah. I see you are a member of the church. The church of "whatever's wrong with free market capitalism is the fault of too much regulation".

You sound like one of those teenage libertarians who I thought were getting fewer on the non-circle-jerk areas of reddit.

Well the conspiracy side in me wonders if aging has already been solved, but TPTB are suppressing the info until we get natural global-population shrinkage (like we're already seeing in the richest countries).

Well, those with access will say "fuck that position, I want mine" but the flipside, the attitude from rest of world (the shamers) that those people should feel bad about it... that will stay until it's more democratized / widely available.

Not gonna downvote you, but you sound somewhat like an apologist for elitism. "Normies" is also too big and diverse a category to paint with such a broad brush.

I think It's possible to live in a world where economic incentives do have a role but where there are some limits on wealth disparity (and resulting quality-of-life disparity).

For example, I think the cellphone is a decent example of where the market was the prime mover (with one caveat: don't forget who invented the internet) and the poorest people did benefit from rich world tech investment and speculation.

But pharma and basic research is a mess... a lot of it subsidized by the taxpayer via grants in the university system, meanwhile price gouging on the other end by the pharma corps, for their contribution ("we have to make obscene profits or you won't have vaccines!") and insurance middlemen basically feeding off everyone else's misfortune.

And I think that if true life-extension arrives... the model will be much closer to the latter.

If you are at all serious, don't make me google it for the first hint of what you're talking about.

Problematic outlook there...

How long did it take cellphones to go from "just a rich broker's toy" to "literally everyone has one"?? (A generation?)

What about airplane travel? (A couple of generations)

A.I. will spread much faster than that, coz it doesn't even require global distribution of hardware/ can be cloud based.

So, be careful what you give rights to. They will have the numbers to out-vote humans a few years later.

Remember when myspace got, like, 65% of the formula right but the other pieces weren't in place / the world wasn't ready yet?...

Then fb figured out the gap, and the tech, a couple years later and created their rocketship?

Zuckerberg is helming the "myspace of the metaverse"... he's hoping he can bridge the gap. But the future is not predictable (just ask Tom from myspace).

I hope he gets taken down a peg. The metaverse should be an open protocol, not a corporate product.
