I think you're setting two very different concepts at odds with each other Many startups aim to become acquired, because there is no alternative. It's the only viable route to success. Continue 'feeding the beast'. This

In my opinion, the EU doesn't rely on litigation to define the economic landscape in the same way that the USA does. Catching out these corporations in order to lay a 'charge' shouldn't be necessary, when it's quite

This is no solution. What happens when you need to meet face to face?

by lwhi 5y ago
I don't think it's nearly as complicated as you fear it is. However, I do think there is a lot of money depending on making the situation as complicated as possible — especially in the US. The fact the EU is managing to progress t

The more I think about it, the more I'm convinced the issue should focus on the effect a monopolistic company has on competition and new entrants. If a company is in the sights of Facebook, and could be acquired .. they should stand to

I don't think what you did was awful, especially since you went to the effort of explaining exactly what was changed and why. However, I also think there should be space for discourse about the mechanics of the action; however academic

No. This the future foreign internet companies chose when they put profits above all else.

Oh my - reading this makes me feel very funny. I don't think of myself as that squeamish; but anything involving sculls, brains and drilling me makes me feel instantly queasy. Amazing that this is having a positive effect, but sweet lo

Designing a software product also requires (software design) domain expertise.

Too many assumptions here. You need to consider the number of the tech products and the number of markets. The resulting number would be vast.

Scroll up! * Accidents will happen. * The degree of hazard involved in a nuclear accident is very high. * We have no solution for waste other than bury it.

Okay, I'll give you that. Yes, we know exactly how catastrophic a nuclear accident can be .. and have no sensible solution for nuclear waste other than bury it and hope for the best.

Ultimately, there are some very inconvenient problems which are difficult to solve. The jeapody involved is being downplayed.

No. In the worst case scenario, nuclear presents a much greater risk.

The inconvenient truth.

So for now, it actually is waste.
687.
by lwhi 5y ago
Exactly! So why are we talking as if we've solved all the potential hazardous problems now?

If we're emulating the universe, we should be situating the nuclear plant at least a million km away.

> Nuclear waste isn't really waste. In which case why are a number of other proponents in this thread suggesting the best solution is to bury it?
