You could really stop speeding by limiting the car's max speed based on GPS location, yet this means reducing the speeding fines revenue to a net zero.

The systems we instate adapt based on human evolution. We began living in small groups, then tribes, alliances, principates, republics, nation states, mega states. It is hard to believe we've reached the pentacle of governance systems.

Entirely the point I am making, albeit indirectly. The majority of rules and regulations nowadays are aimed at more and more control over the people at little to no benefit to them. People get angry and protest such measures. Rinse and repe

Let them have it. Complete and absolute control over all citizens. Nothing more, nothing less. Then what? They will finally realise absolute power is an empty pursuit that brings nothing but misery for both the masses and the so called elit

Homes should be afforded by and owned by families. Corporations have no business owning family homes. The fact this is even a thing shows how broken the system actually is.

It's uncertain how Figma will change as an Adobe product. It's wise to have a few alternatives ready just in case. Sketch remains one of the top UI design apps. I remember when I switched the first time from Photoshop to Sketch. S

That’s pretty much how it works! :) Here’s how I see it. When startup companies need product design skills, they generally hire a full-time product designer, a freelancer or a design agency. There are advantages but also drawbacks for these

Ha, the memories… it used to be a nice discovery tool. Whatever happened to StumbleUpon? Good to see there’s a refreshed version.

It looks more like a self-created problem. The tax code is unnecessarily complex and this creates confusion for most citizens, including the IRS itself. Simplifying the tax code would solve a lot of these headaches plus remove the EITC erro

Why not go for 1000 years mortgages or more? Serious question. Don’t stop going up in years until the monthly instalments are fractions of a cent. What could go wrong?

Most of the houses listed on the Dutch real estate market sell for +€60K-€100K OVER the asking price. It's insane! Most people (teachers, nurses, etc) are on €35K-45K or less gross annual salary. Cut out ~50% taxes/healthcare and

You make some good points, however every company should find a way to be sustainable and pay their fair share of taxes to society. If that's really not possible, then perhaps that business should go bankrupt. Breaking monopolies and mo

Perhaps it's time we think of a tax tier for large companies that generate over $1B in revenues. This tax would apply on gross revenues, not on profit, to close potential loop holes, and it should reflect the social and environmental i

At first glance the valuation seems inflated. However if you consider the current state of MSM and social media, it's worth investing in alternative media and other ways of building and interacting with an audience.
