Some of the legislations implemented in the past 50 years has led to a bunch of projects becoming prohibitively expensive, even for the private sector. The Hyper Loop is a good example of the exceptions.

This policy is probably to do with the company trying to ensure folks do not share stories that may end up on the internet/tv causing damage to the company (easier for a 3rd party, like a family member to raise the issue on the interne

Companies and employees need to be able to sell the idea of a project/product/service to each other. The waterfall method serves as a bridge that connects the dots, allowing both sides to understand how they intend to reach the en

Great points @jameslk. I will add a few points to your predictions: * There will be a meat substitute options catered to groups with higher net income. * Nations dependent on meat products for export will try (in)directly impact society&#x2

The cellphone market in developed nations have been somewhat stagnant in the past few years, so it seems that both Samsung and Huawei's foldable cellphone are looking to create a technology that adds a new level to the cellphone hierar

The real question is, why didn't AA & Singapore Airlines not put a sticker on top of the camera instead of having all this negative publicity? QA was probably concerned about something else.

I agree with your point. It is complicated since everytime humans become outraged about something, their emotional side tends to take over and they tend to look for someone(s) to blame and a head(s) to roll without taking all aspects into c

I think a lot of people tend to see the issue from a lower-middle class perspective (economically speaking), this makes it very difficult to understand some of the different issues that can occur at that level. It is similar to someone livi

Without 'could be' society would mostly be reactionary. There are huge industries associated with prediction. Some may look at a potential Goldman+Apple partnership as a market changer, value adder, among many other things. In sho

You raise a valid point, Brazil may be an interesting test-case for the point you have raised. The new government shows strong interest in cutting down the Amazon (at least partially) for the sake of Agribusiness, Cattle & Logging. Now

I mean, most governments have fingerprint databases that are linked to identities. Some governments hire contractors to take care of that.

It is fascinating to see the crowd mentality that comes from sports team, political groups and other areas. Rationally speaking, it is entirely possible for at least some games to be rigged from time to time. It does not mean that the whole

I noticed a lot of folks in here are putting the emphasis on the 'this is how I spotted the fake' which is extremely valuable on its own, however, have you thought about the potential practical outcomes and unintended consequences

I agree with all the key points you have listed, I just wanted to add that a unicorn became a status symbol that can impact a variety of things: * A supplier to the unicorn may perceive the company as a future star, which makes them decide

I think the importance of 5G is not only tied to the consumer wanting a faster internet. It is tied to potential advances in remote surgeries, automated cars, Amazon drone packages, VR for medical purposes, potential improvements in securit

I think the trick with this matter is that as long as the incentive outweigh the risk to at least 1 actor at some point in time, they will attempt to make a move that can be seeing as insider trading. It becomes a matter of whether society

My example implies that some cars will be broken into for items that are in it while other cars will be taken by the assailant, the $30,000 example is for visual purposes. Do you expect all cars that are left open or broken into, to be just

Not only will it cost the police more, but it also costs the car insurance and by proxy everyone that is insured. If 100 people leave the car unlocked and are robbed and on average the car costs $30,000, this will cost $3,000,000 + insuranc

Although I agree with the base of your point, I think it is worth noting that there are likely plenty of folks underneath him with the knowledge to sway policies and implement them. In other words, a department can still be functional and e

If you were confident about the solution, you could have offered to do it for a fee or ask him to gift it to you. That could have been an easy sale. Also, a lot of people complain to generate conversation, not for the 2nd opinion they get.

Well, in theory certifications such as the CFA, PMP, GMAT follow the same rationale as yours. Other countries such as Brazil and China use national tests to follow the same rationale. Do you still think that would be the best approach?

I wouldn't be surprised if it is considered one of the variables. Most people lose their attention as the minutes go by, so if we add it as a multiplier to other direct variables, it can help better define difficulty.

I would not be surprised if that was the case since the US was quite isolationist at the time. It would take quite a bit to get the population's buy-in for a war. A direct attack seems to be like a needed pretext.

I think there is a balance to emphasize the psychological and physical impact that debt can have to individuals and incentives individuals need to make smarter decision (debt is an incentive, not forced on ppl 99% of the time). If folks kno
