You can not reduce your 40 hour week? I know of at least two companies in Berlin, one of it is the one i work in, that are pretty flexible regarding the 40 hour week.

When someone says, that everyone should go to therapy, my first question is: who pays the therapist? If everyone goes to one, then an insurance to cover the costs does not really make sense anymore.

Is believing not also memory related? Can you trust your beliefs? And what is memory anyways?

Mmh. I am very pleased to read from the sea wolf. I only have childhood memories. I put it on my list again. Thank you.

I do not see your argument. That some projects are subsidized, because they carry a value, that pays off manyfold somewhere else, no one denies.

And yet we try to appeal to others ratio or emotion with arguments in discussions like these. So that that they buy in to our ideas. We persuade, it is good to be charismastic and seducing too. And if someone famous writes or speaks, someon

Definitly. And hosting is very cheap. But i would argue, that if you were a band or a big company like disney, and suddenly you have millions of people interested in your stuff, because you have a new release or constant demand, that you th

Of course they also want to contribute to society. It is a great thing. And behind all this, someone has to pay for the other stuff. Its not only the content creator. On what hardware is this all running on? Who provides for electricity? Wh

You say, "google makes a fortune and content creators make fuck all", then why do people still upload their content? That makes no sense to me at all. But besides that, i am all for more competition. Better user interfaces, better

Do you have an example for a free market, where this has happened? I consider the IT world, that i was part of, the most free experience in my life. No state was involved, contracts were enforced, people just got along. Plain level field. N

The "market" would like to fix it. But it is not allowed to. Because, well, politics or: "people in power" :-)

Or maybe the begin of an even bigger wealth creation period. "And why did i not invest earlier?"

Maybe. Or the market is big.

I remember developing an App. And then we have talked about, how can we be seen. And then all my grudges on advertising disappeared. Thank god, that it exists.

It reminds me on my Mom. Whenever we were traveling, she wrote a checklist. Very organized. I do it now too, helps me to offload.

It seems to say that, but i did not say that. Each invention or each venture needs resources. Where do you get those from? One can say, people give something and out of this pot you support something bigger (taxes? charity? venture capital?

I agree in general. But lets not forget, without the incentive to make profit, someone would not have done the investment and work to invent something in the first place. So some treatment would not even exist at all.

Another way is to sell the stocks, in my opinion. That is the tool by which the invested public can express, that they no longer trust in the future of a private company. Another tool is to go into politics and change the law, that forbids

I put "rich" in quotes. I consider everyone in the west "rich", but thats a discussion of its own. I have bought a robot that vacuums for me twice the week. I rent. I spend like 50 euros per week for prepared food. I spe

Your second paragraph sounds to me like i live. But i am not "rich". I just take advantage of what is out there to make my life easier or to save time. And actually that is all what economy is about.

Unless someone has some work of their own, that other people start to use and make money off it. Then that one wants copyright. Then its no longer information flying free for everyone.

I am surprised to read on YC news, that speculation is not a productive activity. Is not the whole venturing idea an organized risk minimizing speculation adventure? I do not think anyone willingly spends part of their wealth into something

I like the future availability argument. It's a good function. But i also can see, why citizens (if we talk about housing) might object, if there is no affordable housing right now, if everyone were betting. But then again, if i look a

Is this not spooky? No noises? The drops of water somewhere? And you always start to wonder who this might be, who landed at my floor with the elevator? It actually triggers one of my childhood dreams. To be alone in a skyscraper. :)

I like the learning aspect of this. Before i was all in, now i know, this new thing is not for me.

That sounds just like me. I wonder if you buy apps. There is so much value for me in cell phones (hm, or rather small computers), that i feel, even if it seems like i do not spend too much, that i get a huge bargain with these small devices
