Today's "highly advanced and expensive car" is tomorrow's cheap knock off. The sunk costs have been made by the Teslas of this world and economy of scale is about to deliver its magic. It's ironic reading somethin

Income taxes don't require tracking income, so why would it be necessary for assets?

How exactly is this by fiat? The author doesn't seem to understand what the word means.

Don't forget, it also supports artists. I wonder if artists could sell art with a contract stipulating a royalty whenever it changed hands.

The Netherlands has an asset tax, and it doesn't seem to have that much difficulty with it economically. I suspect your difficulties are overstated and it's roughly no more bothersome than other forms of taxes.

I tried "pea chicken" and it consistently made me nauseous when I ate it (as in after I ate it). I don't have a weak stomach, almost nothing makes me feel sick, but that did it to me every time.

You've completely missed the point of the NBN. One reason for installing fiber is because it's superior infrastructure. It's not simply a gigabit network and gigabit speed is a irrelevant. Fiber will happily transmit hundreds

I think you're overstating coal's influence on the Australian economy, bordering on hysteria. Mining somewhere in the range of $250B of which coal is roughly $50B, in a $1.5T economy. It's obviously significant but "Turn

It's available in other countries now but only as a part of a paid service.

Wow, besides the possible expense, having a one year passport must be a pain. It's essentially valid for 6 months less the time of your trip since most places require six months validity beyond your departure from their jurisdiction. I

In several EU countries you're required to carry id at all times. In the US Green Card holders are required to carry the card at all times.

So you're never going to hold an EU passport or never enter the EU? Do you feel more comfortable giving the same information to the US?

Like everything else, they were maintaining certification. The original avionics worked that way. The same reason that the LCD screens display simulations of the original avionics hardware such as the artificial horizon.

The modern 737 is a collection of hardware and software hacks, flying in close formation.

The value of the business roughly doubled after it "sold" half to Airbus. Financially they were no worse off and they guarantee the success of the business by hooking up with a proven partner. They get 7.5 years of the upside incl

You do occasionally encounter it elsewhere, maybe everywhere, even in "clean" cities but the scale is incomparable to most other cities.

I used to live in the Tenderloin nearish Market and you literally couldn't walk anywhere without keeping your eyes focused on the ground. It only takes a single poop to spoil your day, or at least your shoes. I don't think it&#x27

Firstly, macOS is a far and away superior experience, given the alternatives, secondly it has better applications, or the Mac versions are better than for other platforms and thirdly it allows development on all platforms with a minimum of

Hackintoshes are not affected any protection Apple applies, they just work round it by modifying or re-implementing the software.

by nutjob2 8y ago
On a Hackintosh you have that choice, on Apple hardware you'll eventually have that choice taken away from you. That is my point.

by nutjob2 8y ago
Just another reason to build and use a Hackintosh, if you want to be free to choose your own software. Apple is slowly moving towards an iPhone model with macOS.

That actually has little to do with why "Zuck" is still there, it's because he has special voting rights that make him immovable. Ditto for the Google founders. Take that away and we'd see the actual truth of his utility

I'd say that is a matter of choice and preference though. I'm totally minimalist because I hate washing things up and that is a big quality of life factor. I'm close to zero wash-up because I use a single wok so often it&#x27

I like to optimise for 3 things: speed, cost, and health. In this case I have found recipe books to be generally pointless since they're not able to meet those specific requirements. Speed: If I have to spend more than about 15-30 seco

This isn't by accident or incompetence, it's to maximise servicing revenue.

What happened is that they hacked on an inappropriate engine onto an old airframe, then they hacked a hidden automation to fix the prior hack. The engineering fix is obvious, but management is the problem.

So the procedure is too complex or otherwise lacking. It should reasonably accommodate pilot workload and stress under the situation it would be used. It's interesting that the flight with three pilots in the cockpit survived.
