The combination of AI, the digitalization of society and decentralized protocols pretty much means that taxation of work is going to become increasingly hard. You already can hardly tax a software company incorporated in Hong Kong (with 0%

I just wanted to jump in and reply that you’re making a lot of sense and I can grasp your wisdom. It’s difficult to talk about spirituality on HN because a lot of people here are very attached to their rationality. It’s a beautiful story y

I wonder how they found those locations. Are people just browsing the entire globe or maybe using GIS queries? Must be fun writing Overpass Queries to find lakes in islands in lakes in islands.

I am REALLY curious about any shift in her view of reality, specifically any potential emergence of spiritual views, or the likes. Many ancient traditions have forms of "vision questing" involving usually a few days fasting in sol

You seem to promote self awareness yet are judging people and a tradition you know nothing about. I'm not pro or against what was just shared - mostly just like you slightly perplexed. And I think I understand where you're trying

This overlooks a lot of business dynamics. Open source is great at developing efficient tools, but it is famously terrible at marketing them, or turning them into products usable by the mass. That’s because making a tool, and building a pro

It’s a convenient way of backing up the document that can be used to re-create this impactful technology from scratch… may a disaster take place. Think like sending backups of human civilization into space. There are probably now hundreds o

Can you or someone explain why so many Brits want to watch UK television from abroad? I’m French living abroad and have never missed French TV. The quality of the content is just very sub-par compared to American shows. They just don’t have

I think the answer is more education, rather than “let’s keep the best spots secret.” So many of our current societal problems stem from people’s disconnection from nature. I don’t think a world where more people spend time in it is a bad t

Surely the coordinates still get leaked through 3rd party apps like Strava, then become visible on the Strava Heatmap. Quite ridiculous they’d try to keep the information private in this day and age.

15% of US billionaires are foreign born. And a large portion of the top-paid talent hired by billion $ companies are foreigners too. Going on a billionaire witch hunt would not only push residents out, it’d stop future wealthy residents fro

And see all billionaires disappear to whichever country doesn't do that? The point of remote work, is that a lot of wealth is now very geographically volatile.

I’m glad they passed the law! Thank you, had no idea you could use La Poste to send registered mails online. As a busy parent, schemes like this definitely prey on people’s lack of time to never cancel.

I feel ya, but there is worse: in France to cancel most services (mobile plan, bank accounts...) you need to send a registered mail. Suffice it to say, living abroad, there is a bunch of services I literally cannot cancel because of that. T

The opposite happened to my partner here in Portugal. She signed up to a gym ($100/month), and they literally forgot to start charging the account until 5 months later. Everything tends to be so inefficient here. I guess at least in th

If they laid off 400 employees, it’s probably because they could afford to (nice way of saying: they were not necessary to keep the business functioning), likely a bet on innovation. As the economy struggles and the prospects of such innova

I wonder if it's because they never had a Steve Jobs-like icon deeply defining the importance of design. Although he was a worldwide icon, language and cultural barriers are real. To some extent, a culture entrains itself, even with th

Could this one day be implemented as a chatbot available throughout the docs? Example: I could look up Mapbox Docs, then simply type in what I’m trying to achieve, and get a code snippet with JS Fiddle example generated.

This isn’t good for SEO, which is highly dependent on speed. The CDN data is loaded via JavaScript, meaning crawlers might not load it. I don’t know what this is trying to solve, CloudFlare pretty much already fixes the egress charges probl

You’re right. I overlooked this and was under the impression Circle would just pause exchanges. Their announcement to resume monday at 1:1 changes the game. Wish they'd just wait it out to give everybody a fair shot. Hopefully even in

Author here. I don’t know if I’ll write a follow up but the comments prove my point for sure. I sense a lot of the naysayers here were triggered by the argument, which probably shows that I hit the right spot. Funny thing is none of what I’
