he would make 10 times more if he's a supermodel of same caliber.

yet those flaws didn't matter. qualitative right. quantitative wrong.

dont think this hold much water at all.

we are. you can check the APP STORE release yoy. it's skyrocketing.

I have barely downloaded any apps in the last 5-10 years except some necessary ones like bank apps etc. Who even needs that garbage? Steam also has tons of games but 80% make like no money at all and no one cares. Just piles of garbage. We already have limited hours per day and those are not really increasing so I wonder where are the users.

Here’s a talk about leaning into the garbage flow. And that was a decade ago.

I can’t imagine the number being economically meaningful now.


this is almost entirely orthogonal. you can use cpf for private, non-99year lease housing too.

Thanks for correcting me; I accept that CPF can be used for both the cases you have mentioned.

My comment came from two observations: 1. The majority of Singapore citizens live in HDB. 2. The vast majority of non-landed residential properties (private condos and HDBs) are on 99-year leases.


not everyone has the same ethics or even subscribes to that

Exactly, some people think 'out of sight, out of mind' is great ethics! See https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/QXpxioWSQcNuNnNTy/...

no, more precisely, they can actively think about it and still believe it's not an issue. For example they can justify that the migrant workers are given a choice etc or it's better than some of their alternative.

If it's not clear: that's pretty close to what I believe, yes.

Calling the opposite position 'out of sight, out of mind' or 'The Copenhagen Interpretation of Ethics' kind of gives my disdain for it away, I thought?


so the country can be productive? so it can have resources to fulfil duties to citizens?

Not true. Importantly, a majority of the cpf can be used for participating in stock market.

i think you've to be more nuanced here - perf becomes important only on the extreme. i think there are compromises to be made between perf and go-to-market.


it'll be the least important thing to do
