I have also travelled a lot in the past... You presumably do have a "home" country in the sense of where your bank accounts are, get a cheap permanent sim/phone no with roaming, buy the tiniest phone you can off amazon and st

Healthcare is paid via taxes, so how does one overcharge it?

Sure, but the large number of businesses who are UK only won't have to deal with it. Instead of frontloading compliance for any new venture, they can build for the UK first then work on compliance if and when they go for EU business.

Yeah I guess I wasn't really sure that would work with commercial airliners, given their probable lifespan/complexity. If the manufacturer goes out of business, who has the expertise to maintain the planes for the rest of their wo

I don't disagree. My point I guess is, if you're buying a plane that will potentially be in service for many decades you need some kind of reassurance the manufacturer will still be around to support it?

When I fly I usually fly with emirates so I'm quite often on the A380, they really are wonderful planes.

Genuine question, would anyone want to buy planes like this from a company that's small enough to fail? I'm guessing not.

There's a fundamental tension between competition/choice and low friction. On the internet it seems like whatever has the lowest friction wins. Examples... People hate the fact that there are so many paid streaming services now, t

Do you have the NFT that Jack Dorsey originally and publically sold that establishes the right to sell? If you don't then you have no credible ability to sell it, if you do... then maybe I'm interested.

The paradigm shift is that this is an agreed method of determining who has the right to sell a digital asset via an internet native method. You can look at the same bytes all you want, but you can't sell them, the owner of the NFT can,

I don't particularly want to spend ages trying to find "perfect" when roam is "good" enough. The chances of roam disappearing over night are pretty slim and I take weekly backups of my data from them. Worst comes to

You can't restrict ownership of physical goods or art really, it's just that there's "authentic" goods and "fake" goods. So you're right you can't restrict possession of digital goods but you ca

I run a small niche regional subreddit and I can tell you it is greatly more popular and active today than it was for the past 5+ years of its life. Through no action of my own, reddit is simply doing a better job of driving people who woul
