This is really interesting. Can anyone on here explain if I am correct that this basically means any site that is operating as a middleman between supplier and consumer would be held liable for issues with the product? So, like does this al

I think it is an interesting idea, but I fear that unless we find a way to bring down the broken, disabled, etc. satellites we have, this will lead to accelerating the possibility of a Kessler Syndrome phenomena.

Well, when it's to purchase Google Adwords, there really isn't any competition on that front. As well, Google Play pretty much monopolizes the Android market for the general public.

The second step only happens for a small select group of "things." There are myriad apps, people and organizations that Google has blindly banned with no recourse or reasonable appeal that we will never hear about. The bigger poin

I've always been amazed by investment and sales conferences. More times than not they are literally little more than a long string of confidence building techniques or almost religious slogan repeating. Rarely have I seen a new idea an

Yeah he has a AdWords specialist as well who has thrown up their hands and went you need to deal with Google support. However, from what I can tell there is no human beings they can actually talk to in order to sort this out with Google sup

I had a feeling that unless there was some legal course (which likely would cost a good chunk of change for lawyers), there is nothing he can do.

Yes, they appealed and it got changed from "Counterfeiting" to "Circumventing Systems." Then it took about 3 months and they sent a "Yes, you are still in violation" form email that doesn't give any clue a

It doesn't work out that way for the shinkansen in Japan unfortunately. I'd be surprised if Canada was much different.

Oh it'd be nice but it'd be as expensive if not more than a first class flight. The sleeper car I got for the 2 night trip cost me quite a chunk of change.

I love via rail in canada and I used it both to travel between Toronto and Montreal and to travel all the way west to Edmonton. From my many travels I learned that while commuter rail (read go trains) can do well, long distance rail just do

I love reading this when I was in university. I remember thinking to myself, may I be burned out enough one day that I can play with Mathematics and not have to worry about how to pay rent or support my family.

Yep. Crashes brave as well (makes sense since it's chrome based)

Not impressed that I need to pay $5 to even test it out.

60% of Ontario capacity is already nuclear and they sell it to the US. So in a way they are already doing this. Just not to the degree they probably should.

This. And the problem I've found is whenever anyone gets to a position that could legitimately deal with this issue, they become either compromised or they become involved themselves in the situation. Basically there's another ver

Why can't we just use candu reactors and pebble bed reactors. They are proven technology made by American allies and work really well. The cost overruns always come from demanding we have to come up with a novel way to do it.

You are absolutely dead on right. We need to stop trying to bang on a model that isn't working and be willing to think even more outside of the box. All of this is essentially ways to create hydroelectric plants without the water. If w

The question is what is the right way to deal with it? So many things big tech does fundamentally becomes a monopoly just due to the nature of it. I remember moaning and groaning about windows and Microsoft in the 90s and wishing someone wo

My experiences have shown me that while models themselves are not terrifying. When people confuse the model for reality and then operate as if the model cannot ever possibly be wrong, especially with complex systems, that is when really bad

So, from what I can tell it's essentially a Mechanical Turk for someone's personal team. However, I'm trying to figure out if it offers Mechanical Turk style offerings as well, where you can just pay for some random person to
