Tell that to WeChat and a bunch of other Asian products. The idea of great products is kind of misguided. Talking about great products is something industry people do it's not something users of the product think about them. In other w

It will hit the poor even harder if they dont have cheap reliable energy to grow more wealthy and secure themselves against the climate. Its always been a problem.

Its a kind developer based community for google products. It connects developers from different backgrounds with each other around ex language or tools.

I don't believe anything about you. I am simply telling you what I consider to be the reality. Some parts of the plastic industry can and will be replaced but far less both short term and long term than people want to think, unless; so

It's not just nice it's crucial for our survival. Keep in mind plastic can be as soft as velvet and as durable and hard as diamonds. No other material does that and that allow us to make things that would be impossible otherwise.

How do you think we do most modern operations and healthcare, how do you think we manage to have cars be extremely lightweight and i could go on.

The externalities include positive ones so yes it would be superior by far. There literally is no realistic alternative to plastic right now.

I am glad to see Bill Gates being more vocal about this. There has been an unrealistic optimism when it comes to how easy it is to find alternatives to what we are currently using. What people forget is that things like plastic ever-present

Aiming to is a meaningless word. It requires fundamental discoveries we by definition can't know when or if we are going to find. Edit: Downvoted for what exactly?

Games are part of the hits based business which means there is potentially infinite demand for new games. The correct comparison isn't software development but entertainment industry. Music, movies etc.

Agree, Which is exactly what we do.

Yeah I did that. And I have ID protection service.

The point is that plenty of companies did all the things the advice tells them to do and still failed.

The problem with startup theory is, that the theory that actually works is mostly the "don't do this". Only once in a blue moon does they prove to be wrong, but they are also the least valuable as many of the are quite obviou

There is a moral to that story. Making sure we have enough energy for everything we want whether the source is coal, oil, nuclear or hydro because energy is the single biggest contributor to a better life, richer and safer life and the more

Then build it. I’d donate.

It's not. Factor in the need for backup energy and remove subsidies and it will loose.

Its not cheaper once you factor in the need for backup energy and thats the only fair way of calculating the cost of wind and solar for that matter.

Sure there is space but thats not the point though :)

Aren't you kind of mixing engineering with science? We still have plenty of opportunity for optimization of scientific discoveries in biology, what we don't have plenty of is new scientific discoveries. I am just asking, maybe I a

It does need a magical physics solution unless you are fine with keep using coal, oil, gas and nuclear as backup. When you factor in the infrastructure to support you when you don't have power yourself then it suddenly looks less econo
