ChatGPT-4 gives the answer pretty easily:

To cross the river with the goat using the boat, you would follow these steps:

1. *Get into the boat with the goat.* 2. *Row to the other side of the river.* 3. *Disembark with the goat.*

Now, both you and the goat are on the other side of the river.

Who knows what will be the long term consequences of using these devices on the eye. Better to be wary

Elon showed with Twitter how you don't need hordes of engineers to run a company. He laid off 90% of the staff and still the website is doing alright (at least engineering wise). More engineers lead to more useless bullshit being created(like at Google). A lean mean team seems the way to go.

Aren't there plenty good open source alternatives to achieve this without aid from the government? Like something as simple as CO poisoning would do the job convincingly and cheaply.

Why will they need a good explanation? Can't they just say I lucked out and the burden of proving insider trading would fall on the SEC? Innocent until proven guilty right?

Per capita emissions of India/China are much lower compared to the US. It's also easier for a developed country to try and lower their emissions than poor/developing countries to do it.

Not just western civilization, everywhere inequality is off the charts. It's particularly haunting in developing countries like in India's Mumbai I saw homeless families with small kids sleeping on the railway station floor while some dudes were racing their lambos just across the road.

Quality of life across the entire planet has probably improved. Billions of Indians and Chinese have been lifted from gut wrenching poverty thanks to the shifting of the American manufacturing and services industry to these nations. As a result of this American living standards have decreased but it has also benefited a lot of people across the globe

The market is bad but one factor is that the quantity of Product manager jobs is much less than the number of dev jobs by a factor of 10-20x so it's much more difficult to find highly compensated jobs for them.

Because that salary is great in India which probably has at least 10x developers than Spain. And with that money you can really hire really good Indian developers who can speak English well enough, slog hard unlike the pampered Europeans and are hungrier to prove themselves in general.

A good thing to ask is why you dream about a particular thing so much. is it even your own dream? or something society has told you to believe in? why so much dissatisfaction in the first place that you have to go crazy chasing something.

Searching the internet for decent material is a pain point. Wikipedia gets too complex, stackoverflow like forums don't exist for all fields, books are not freely available. Great courses from standard/mit are also not always available. Many other courses are behind paywalls. We can certainly aspire to better the status quo for open sourcing education at least to a basic graduation level of all major subjects.
