It depends, as things usually do. $20 here, $10 there, eventually ends up as $600 monthly or more, and no customer anywhere in sight. That may, or may not be sustainable or make sense. Flush with cash? Knock yourself out. Bootstrapping? You

Most software businesses start off as "toy apps" and are paid for out of pocket. The parent's comment is right - that is a lot of money for not a lot of value, particularly when you are early stage. The trick is in finding ba

What equipment is needed for Cuban's to harvest fish? People have been harvesting fish from the ocean for thousands of years. They have been making bread for even longer. Sanctions are not why Cuban's aren't able to eat. Cuba

This article is about bread. Bread, perhaps the most simple, easily manufactured food on the planet. It doesn't even take fancy modern equipment to make - people have been making bread for thousands of years all across the world. Cuba

> however, is legally evading them In tax law, this is considered avoidance, ie. you are avoiding overpayment. If you so much as use any tax preparation software, you are actively avoiding overpayment of your taxes.

So are you telling us when you prepared your recent tax return, you spent zero time ensuring you paid only the required amount? Avoiding paying taxes you are not legally required to pay is not tax evasion.

Yes they are. Look at these fuel economy numbers (broken down by number of butts in seats)[1]. 60-100+ mpg equivalent per seat. What car or truck is getting 80+mpg while hauling a 40,000lbs payload, for example? Not to mention how wildly ef

Unless the UK is going to totally isolate themselves from the entire world - people and goods will still travel in and out. Only by vastly less efficient means. The UK is not isolated, and will never be. In this implausible scenario, people

It would not. Those people would still travel - just by far less efficient means.

So if the UK banned all airplanes - what changes for the world? Oh, that's right. Still nothing. You are hyper-focused on a meaningless gesture that you were told to believe by people who continue to fly private jets around the world

It's really unfortunate people cannot fathom how insignificant your butt in an airplane seat, that will take off with or without you, really is. This climate change thing really has become people's new religion. Deny anything that

I think you missed the part where even if 100% of academics committed to not flying, still not one thing changes . The "do something, anything!" crowd needs reality checks from time to time. Consider yourself checked...

Interesting data. This[1] seems to suggest that this relatively small solar sail would be able to reach the moon from earth's orbit after ~3 years (I could be horribly misinterpreting this data!). That seems impressive, given how &quot

This sounds like something rms would do, but also seems like a great way to turn people off to your text editor. If you haven't learned Emacs before, are you really going to put up with broken-by-design behavior?

It seems its probably more of a shell thing, than a linux thing. I've never run into this as an issue before, but I would wager it's the "Save" muscle memory which unexpectedly causes this issue for some people.

Intel is a tarnished brand, sullied by unfixable bugs, suicidal chips, security holes, poorly executed "next gen" ideas, and worse. The only thing they're capable of these days, seemingly, is re-releasing slightly optimized,

This is a really odd take to have. By the "past year's worth of development" I assume you mean the layoffs? Have you been in the industry (or any industry) long? If so, you would have seen many layoffs and bulk-hiring frenzie

I'll ask again. What is stopping these countries today ? Handwavy, vague "post-colonial" whatever isn't a reason, it's an excuse.
