Paper money also worth something because other people say it's worth something. You can't buy anything with Czech krones in some Kenyan village, because people there don't its worth.

It's not just "watching other people play video games" it's watching competition. In the same sense, real F1 is not just "watching other people driving cars". I don't find appealing those youtube videos wi

Depends on how you define 'connecting' cities, and we aren't talking about rigid boundaries on the railroad, just "comparable". And LA->SF route has enough people to be profitable, mate.

If you set fee at $100 for $0.5 transaction? Not really sustainable...

Bitcoin also worked ok before the number of transactions went high, is ether protected from that kind of thing? If for example amount of ether transactions go up 3 orders of magnitude? And it would be nice to have even smaller fees on Ether

And they should be sitting on the train staring at other people? How is that better? They are actually communicating with tens of people while they have to sit in that train. Yes, someone look at instagram, someone just browsing internet or

It doesn't need to be just as dense, it has enough people. SF area and LA have massive growing population and economy, don't you think high speed train connecting those in under 2 hours would have enough ridership?

You can drop San Diego, even that would be enough, pal.

Ok, thanks. I hope you make it even more informative than the Chrome's one :)

by aquadrop 9y ago
You've switched to multiple processes model, but you don't have "task manager" as Chrome. Do you plan to implement it in the future?

by aquadrop 9y ago
I think Chrome and its DevTools has positive overall effect on the world.

Yes, that's why I asked if they used lawyers for this relatively small sum. But it's not minuscule, so I was interested if they used contacts/agreements, escrow or something like "you send me money I send you password fo

I've been taught cursive since elementary school and I've seen plenty cases when people's cursive was almost unreadable for me. Which almost never happens with block letters. Cursive has only one advantage - maximum speed of

Arizona is big, yes :) But on average it has better weather conditions, let's take smaller Phoenix area, L5 there won't have to deal with snow (I know it can get small amounts of snow, but don't think it's a problem). Dr

I think viable L5 somewhere in Arizona is different from L5 in New York, so autonomous vehicles will start spreading from places with good weather. But I don't think L5 is required for successful start of autonomous fleets. Advanced L4

Musk didn't promise those goals, it's what they hoped for. Best case scenario.

They burn it that fast because it brings more money in the future and they have funds reserve. Their net loss is getting smaller proportionally to the revenue constantly. They could stop capital investments any moment and be profitable, but

I won't fly in a plane without a pilot, I want some professional who can assess plane's technical state to be on board so he/she will do the job right, because they will be risking their own lives if something's wrong.

Yes, I think vision of Nobel prize has changed with years. Now it's mostly regarded as avery prestigious mark to put on "best of the best" but originally it was probably not just award for achievements but a way to distribute

Same things as with electric cars, 10 years ago Tesla started as a luxury car manufacturer and now it moves to wider and wider auditory. And there's plenty of 25k roofs for them to be busy for years... Also, I think math for new houses
