Amazon Japan even in 2013 was amazing. My host family ordered an out of print trail guide to the hiking trail between Osaka and Tokyo after I had failed to find it in every major book shop in Osaka. If memory serves it was delivered in abou

We had a scary and quite overspec'd arm acquired cheaply in the early history of a startup. We we're able to control it via the serial interface, but similarly to you we had no documentation and everything had been reverse enginee

It is completely possible to have a parent corp in the US that owns a subsidiary in the country you live and employs you. Europe (post brexit) attracts approximately 1/10th the VC compared to the US. Valuations are also 1/10th on

Same here. I now describe how i imagine things as probably bring similar to how a blind person would imagine things. Cheekily, I sometimes claim I have no need to close my eyes when I think, so I can work simultaneously from what's mod

I have a hacky OpenCL interpreter I built as a DSL in python to step through compute shaders with arrays backed by numpy. Basically makes it possible to debug the shader as python code.

This was debated in Denmark recently, and the figure that made headlines was astounding. The danish government reaps 50 Billion kr annually, or 8 Billion USD, or 1,300 USD per INHABITANT per year, in vehicle related taxes. That’s 5% of the

This is what-about-ism. There are valid reasons for strong encryption, e.g. protecting the very data that has been compromised here.

I see this thrown up regularly and often the poster implies that everyone knows why wage growth separated from economic growth. You've alluded to monetary policy, so in this case I guess inflation. It's a lot more complicated than

Ramping up exports is a political win that creates jobs. Waiving IP rights requires going up against mega-pharma. Which exactly requires courage?

The Economist is pro-market but, from my interpretation, advocates for systems of governance that yield a reasonable compromise between capital and society (which is the mechanism that allows for private wealth to exist in the first place).

The EU also spent the most time negotiating down prices. It's not surprising we're last in line.

I see your points, especially with the conflict if citizenship. There will be an obligation on the government to come up with a solution, but that requires at least a small period of time for planning. I could see an island quarantine facil

The missing part here is that there needs to be enough money to be made to offset the risk and startup costs to justify upfront investment. The last decades have been dominated by tech giants building mostly software, and this has set the b

If one has the option to borrow at 0% on a currency that they believe will experience inflation, why would they choose to borrow in crypto (unless trying to short the market of course). The current problem seems now that just not enough peo

In my world view, if you are actively removing wealth from circulation, then it should be disappeared. But I do agree that it is too hard for the average person to save in the sense of "I will need to withdraw some wealth in the future
