I mean 20-50% on top of income tax. Putting your money where your mouth is. That percentage should not be too much for anyone truly passionate and willing to make some sacrifices.

Carpet installer? Most likely handy enough for building shelter and in general manual labour.

Then those many should spend their own money. And not steal from the rest of society. Maybe they could sing up for say extra 20-50% tax which then get distributed.

Shouldn't future contract sellers be smart enough to take these aspects in account? So you might not pay the spot price. But overall you will cover it. As those selling futures are there to make money. So they charge more than they pay

And even if you can collect those ions to relatively high purities. It is not often particularly useful. Most of the mass is probably carbon, silica, oxygen, hydrogen and so on. In the end not that much value there compared to virgin or oth

There is overlap but I can see some distinction. Refuse might be simply not in first place buying some product group say a smartwatch. Where as reduce would be buying one but updating it less often. One could argue that refusing entire prod

There is lot of variation between tires. From summer, to all season, to European winter to Nordic winter(studdles or studded). Only Nordic ones designed specifically for snow and ice are really usable in conditions where there is often snow

There is no bad publicity? I take few had heard of them before so this is free marketing putting the name in public. Or then there is some broken LLM based sentiment analysis bot that automatically buy companies in news...

Just ban that in TOS. As we know TOS is inviolable. As such it is not possible to sell, gift or otherwise transfer an account. At least this should be considered how it works for age verification. If account transfer is found out account ca

My take is that original Fallout was a post-post apocalyptic setting. Apocalypse was gone and many societies were building up again. Especially when you get to Fallout 2 with Vault City and NCR. Fallout 3 the people had not gone anywhere. I

Not to forget being linked to main-stream publishers that have different editorial goals compared to era when these works were released. Not saying there were not biases back then. But now the biases are different and thus the published out

As cynic I would imagine eventual collapse to be more likely. Probably slow degradation back to some sort of semi-advanced agricultural society. Say kinda post-apocalyptic world(without proper apocalypse) with larger societal structures sti

English is good example. It has not been fixed for long while. Even if there would be so many better ways to write certain words.

Uber isn't a marketplace like say Ebay. As such I expect them to be responsible for the actions of "contractors" they appointed to do the job. As the buyer couldn't freely choose the contractor.

I give any new document format 3 to 5 years until it ends up with similar mess. And that is if it starts well designed and limited.

I am too sensible for financial markets. As such I just do not get why money would keep getting poured into the system. And not enough would exit... At best you are buying a dollar with dollar. Just doesn't compute for me.

On other hand. At some point you can't transact on it for good while. What is the price of currency you can not "physically" move? Yeah numbers of exchanges can move. But if no one spends energy mining and getting lucky there

Even if they use same order of energy. They process many many more orders of magnitude transactions. And I doubt they use that much power. Modern developers are incapable of efficiency, but there is not that much processing to do.

My guess is that Bitcoin was never a actual hedge. But instead fully speculative gambling. Hedge is really something someone would want in market correction or something that keeps value in such. Bitcoin never was actually wanted for anythi

Or maybe there is look at true value proposition of the B2B SaaS products. It is not big spend per user, but it does add up eventually. And then savings start to look like big numbers. Big enough for some manager to justify action. This mig

Correct business moves would have been to get Oracle products in all possible AI outputs... Not sure how that could be done, but still an idea.

by Ekaros 9mo ago
Me neither. Isn't that enough? Does the line always have to go up? It really look like stock market and tech companies are classic gamblers. No gain or profit is good enough to just take it and stop.

Thinking of power infra. Even solar. Doesn't that last 20 or 30 years at least? With some maintenance, but before full overhaul. So in space you would probably decommission it at same time right? Wouldn't that be additional cost?
835.
by Ekaros 9mo ago
In that case wouldn't space also get wiped by EMP? Seems like disabling satellites would be good move if you have a few nukes to spare.

Is there some magic in redeeming them? And by redeeming I mean going to issuer and getting the face value in seconds?

Relatively to refining that stuff to anything useful on moon or in space. You have same trouble and then lot more.

Very cheap way to appear to be doing something about anything. Lot of talk, a few memos. All implementation burden on private sector. Aimed at group that can't currently vote. Only ones against it on principle care about implementation

It didn't seem to go too well last time it was attempted with one other drug. Namely ethanol. It might be time to try again as there doesn't seem to be any safe consumption level.

Strip mining moon is the easy part. Manufacturing anything used for satellites is the very hard part. It is very hard as is seen from number of players here on earth. But just imagine doing everything in hostile environment with significant
