No chance. Deciding when to retire would be a nightmare. Many would retire too early. Most on death would donate 100% to the charity of their choice.

Interesting. They used to only sell through Amazon in the UK but this is no longer the case. Something I’ve learnt - a reason I’m tempted to shop at Amazon is because I have an account there. But many suppliers now allow shopify or Paypal w

I love taking the train but it’s so expensive. I’ve booked on the day flights to Edinburgh from London cheaper than an on the day train. Flying is usually cheaper than taking a full car full of people through the Channel tunnel. Last time I

I now use amazon to buy Anker products and that's it. I recently was shopping for a heart rate monitor - the Wahoo TICKR X was out of stock everywhere except Amazon. I couldn't get over the feeling that it was in stock only becaus

Some people hate negotiating. Services like CarWow seek to skip this step and are hugely popular. So I’d say it’s a fair point.

Driving through Europe one finds the front of the car covered in squashed insects. Drive through the UK and there are none. Depressing.

Good webcams are hard to find at the moment because people are very willing to spend money on their video calls.

This is a very niche case. Why can't you recieve sms abroad? Do you leave your phone behind when you travel? Why can't you give Google your current phone number?

I’d suggest fishing in Scotland is expensive because of American money driving up prices.

Interesting. Are the dangers still significant for shorter durations? For example, a 10 minute subway journey.

Coca-Cola is an outlier as it was affected by the sugar tax, and I’ve used post tax figures.

If you’d bought £10k of 35p 330ml cans in 1997 you would now have £27k of coca-cola (95p).

Google should rely on a last modified date supplied by an author, and penalise sites that change it without actual changes to the content. Or alternatively, improve their algorithm for detecting page changes. Somehow it should be improved,

For a comparison with Buffet. If you’d invested $10,000 into BRK-B on the same date [$29.90] you would now have $65k.

Sounds expensive, but how much does the average salesman spend on their car to look the part? Or a banker on their suits? Or a founder on their bicycle? Seems a reasonable expense to reflect Troy's commitment to IT, encourage people to

If you’re a fan of crypto for its independence and decentralisation, you aren’t going to be storing your coins on coinbase. You will store them on your own hardware. Moving coins between wallets is simple, it would not be possible to simply

I imagine there’s only a small overlap between users that know how to track transactions, and those that would fall for this.

Crazy twitter can’t pin a warning to everyone’s feed... or just kill the site.

I read about this in the news before I saw it in my Twitter feed. My trust in Twitter has dropped severely. Why weren’t these tweets deleted immediately and a note pinned to every users feed?

What was the purpose of your original question? Was it to further your understanding or to open an opportunity to be fastidious? Are you still incapable of seeing that broadcasting is a specific action?

Transmitting implies transmitting and receiving which implies an exchange of messages. The important part is that broadcasting is not exchanging messages.

Transmitting implies an exchange of messages. Broadcast implies indiscriminately ... broadcasting.
