I'm not from the US, but I feel the same way. The all powerful European Union just gives me a sense of despair after how they handled this crysis; I feel like I should start building my life with the assumption that I am alone in time

I own a car, but I live my life as if I didn't to be honest, so I think the futurologists' claims might be actually here. When I need a car, I rent it by the minute, $.17 for one minute, minimum fee of around $2. It's electri

I’m not sure I understand the question. Are you implying that there are no other reasons to work for a startup, other than exposing yourself to risk? Might I suggest rock climbing or skydiving instead of startups?

I just finished a consultancy gig with a startup where the CEO expected every employee (almost two dozen) to handle the extremely high risk, while doing nothing about managing the risk... I’m sorry but I feel your idea is transmitted throug

Would it not be feasible yet for very simple organisms?

You make a fair point. I choose to engage with some particular pieces: > Just recently a very well educated young neurosurgeon I know made the decision to leave for pursuing the postgrad in Canada and then Switzerland, both countries out

Note that for a lot of countries, with perhaps less than competent governments, that money will end up right alongside where our tax money goes, in the hands of the corrupt.

I would love for the EU to even give glimpses of a super government; what I see is fractal bureaucracy. Every crysis that seems to come up, it's a show of people in suits, negociating and coming up with plans and commisions and big wor

I can't help but think about the Memristor[0] and the symmetry on which it its theoretization was based on: > Chua in his 1971 paper identified a theoretical symmetry between the non-linear resistor (voltage vs. current), non-linear

I’m in Eastern Europe, I pay around 15$ monthly for Cable TV with around 100 channels, and high speed giga level internet. Once Steam came up, and our standard of living increased, we pretty much stopped pirating games due to the convenienc

But then surely, adding a prayer to St. Isidore of Seville [0] before every release will be better than just the both of them, so three > both > one. I've recently interacted with a startup where the amount of resources they spen

Just speculating here, but what if they might have some solutions for our problems here on Earth? Perhaps they passed our evolutionary stage and have some insights into our possible futures.

It seems like you're trying to shield yourself from "complete dead weight contractors" which should be easy enough to spot. Certainly don't need a dystopian monitoring system to pluck up their monitors every 10 minutes,

Just throwing in my two cents. I have a friend that got a 750.000€ credit to buy a house and a Tesla. Myself, I'm rather well off in terms of money, but not so wealthy, and I kept away from getting credit. What would happen in case of

Two companies ago, I was tech lead for a small team of 3. I asked for a regularization of my pay check as I was getting 60% market value; 90% or I’m going to look elsewhere. I told them they have 6 months to figure out what they want to do

I will give you an example. Say, everything at Tn is based on the function at Tn-1, which means Tn-1 is based on Tn-2 and so on and so forth to the beginning of the universe. That would mean that my next steps are predetermined. If I choose

Ireland is a EU tax haven; companies go there to pay less taxes, not to enjoy the beautiful sheep of the Irish grasslands.

I’m not sure I understand this counter argument. Surely we can rationalize in a deterministic universe without having free will to make independent decisions based on objective rationalizations. What about understanding the clock structure?

What a thought! Billions of billions of stars, with planets and civilizations, pushing technology to new heights, but ultimately realizing that the best way to leave your handprint on the galactic cave wall is a Universe-wide message in a b

You just gave me a small glimpse of a world where the electricity goes down some evenings because Megacorp X’s DApp is peaking usage.

I feel crazy in this world, have we all forgotten that one can simply hook up a box to the internet and have it available to millions of people worldwide? Or hook up a couple of boxes together for availability and scaling? What about signed

Oh man I can't believe I'm seeing this out in the wild in 2021. I used to love The Palace back in the days; would go around an awesome Harry Potter themed server (or room, can't recall the exact structure) and kinda play arou

I feel the same way, the most fun experience at the Colosseum was enjoying a glass of wine and a sandwich in a park nearby. Rome on the other hand is an amazing city, one of the top in the world if not a bit crowded.

I feel like people have been missing your idea due to the ‘rubble’ statement, which for some reason everyone is taking literally. I agree with you. I happen to live in a country with castles here and there, and I would love for a more inter

If that is our definition for a building being impressive, sure, modern office buildings will not hold the test of time without maintainance as well as the Colosseum...

I was recently thinking about this as they built a state of the art office building nearby. It has around 15 floors, looks amazing, it appears well built based on what I could tell. It’s going to house hundreds if not thousands of humans, w

I remember Google going for carbon neutral; Microsoft the same. This should be a non issue until models settle in.

Thanks for the reply and the suggestion. Just adding to the idea, basically everything we do leaves society scarred in a way or another. Societal, cultural, economical, we’re not in a ‘solved’ phase of anything. The ARVR you mentioned could

This feels like groundbreaking technology, and detectable with the phone camera! I’m amazed at how our species acts in the face of imminent threat. Going on a tangent, I feel like so many discoveries can be attributed to difficult situation

I gave Golden a read when it first popped up, but it's backed by VC so I'm not sure how this model goes well with open access to data.
