Yeah, they (or someone who replaces them) are a robot taxi company. They own and operate a large fleet so their costs of acquisition and maintenance are much lower than a P2P solution.

In a world where self-driving capabilities are in almost every car, car ownership will be vastly reduced. Most trips will happen through some variety of Uber. The exceptions will be people who need to store things in their car like car seat

I've simplified the strategy. Imagine instead of all 100 paintings being from Pierre, imagine one canvas each from Pierre's last 100 sexual partners. The entire art market can crash, sure, but because of the easy outlet of a museu

If Pierre's paintings are being exchanged regularly by a bunch of hedge fund guys for $20 million each, isn't $20 million the market price of a different, arbitrary, painting from Pierre? It isn't really a problem for other a

The end goal is that everything gets donated and written off. Here's the basic scheme: * 10 rich guys buy 100 paint splotch canvases from a dude who wears black and smokes cigarettes * they keep 90 canvases in their basement and sell 1

Why? It’s not strange to think that an old man in leveraged buyouts would be willing to spend some money to be catered to by a group of young, talented, attractive people... and if he’s rich enough or lucky enough, maybe even fuck a few of

The Microsoft App Store is a complete graveyard so it hardly matters what they do or don’t do with it.

I do feign ignorance. Sometimes they don’t take that for an answer and ask me to try. Instead of telling them to fuck off, or fixing the problem so they come back next week, I make them mildly regret pushing me when I said I didn’t know.

Yeah, I’m going to tell someone at work they should pay me or Google it. I didn’t do this with my mom or similar.

If your company has very little software capabilities it can be good to have an out of the box solution from Oracle. Clothing brands, heavy equipment dealers, etc.

I do even one better to get out of doing IT work. If someone random asks me to do computer maintenance I profess my incompetence but say that I’ll give it a try. I just go into settings and make the problem one epsilon worse. Then I give it

In SC2K I always used to make capitalist dystopias with a elevated elite neighborhood of low-density residential and commercial, separated by a mountain range from the plebes with their belching factories. The Mayor’s House was on a private

The girl has had her arm amputated and her ovaries removed, and she’s 4. “Healthy” is not the word I would use.

Yep — so I’ll support policies to shoot them on sight and perhaps they’ll do the reverse.

Rhino poachers are not starving or desperate any more than high-end diamond theives are. They are basically military mercenaries.

The EU doesn’t really need to compete since they can get as much revenue as they want with regulatory fines. They don’t care if you go abroad since if you get big they will find a way to get their money.

The public does love its megafauna. I desperately want my son to be able to take his son to see cheetahs on a safari. As for frogs... I can’t make myself care even 1% as much.

Capitalization isn’t spelling, but if the spelling is preserved, then the headline should be: In Praise of the writer “bell hooks”

Crimes much more serious than tax evasion have grey areas specifically to create room for judicial discretion. Words like “with malice aforethought” or “forcibly” are used in statutes because the law can’t preconceive of every possible wa

I just don’t think that third parties like newspapers should use these kinds of stylings any more than they should allow someone to specify that their name must always be printed in Times New Roman. The headline is super confusing because o

Your argument is analogous to “guns don’t kill people, people kill people.” Well, yeah, but tools selectively amplify people’s powers. Tools matter.

Venezuela is a place where the government is the equivalent of a guy bursting into a shopping mall and shooting it up. In their case Bitcoin does have a genuine purpose.

It’s great for people who are sheltered enough to think that their governments are the least trustworthy organizations in existence, or who live in countries where they are.
