My place is on AirBnB because the income is great and gives me the freedom to hang out anywhere I want in the world while someone else pays to stay in my place.

This is probably best learned from a good lecturer. There is a lot of background on field theory required to make this click.

Why should your value system of what is and is not a productive mental activity apply to someone else? I'm going to go waste some time with my kids.

I'm rural and I just use Amazon Prime rather than ever stepping foot in a Walmart.

The real tragedy was that people were implored to chop down blighted trees. A few of those may have had genetic resistance that could have kept the species going.

I live in a ski town on the North side of Yellowstone and we're quite happy to cater to the tourists. There is nothing demeaning about providing good service that people are willing to pay for.

The bulk of Wyoming is quite desolate and the touristy places have high real estate costs. Your ideas wouldn't help Wyoming citizens.

I saw an AR demo earlier this week using a google cardboard type setup with a phone screen and it was fairly compelling already. Based on this cheap setup I'm confident we'll see something mind blowing in the near future.

The "per request" model is seriously limiting. I work in the mobile app machine learning/analytics space and per Monthly Active User makes a lot more sense for that market.

So your investment thesis is "cheaper is better."?

Peer-to-peer only ever made sense for popular stuff that people won't pay for. By definition there is little business opportunity in markets where people don't want to pay.

Companies that sell access to live video have two primary concerns: 1) overall user experience including seemless play and video quality 2) customer support burden During a huge scale live event you can't afford to have more than a ver

BitTorrent Inc was ethically shady from day one. Call me old-fashioned, but the investors got what they deserved by trying to profit off of piracy while pretending to be legitimate.

"So it's not necessarily true that employees pushing back are right." I think we give managers and executives too much credit. The employees on the ground often know much better what's really going on. Said another way,

I so sympathize with this view. I used to hold it. After experimenting with the hydroponics, vertical growing, etc. I've come to realize the best way to cut the environmental effects of farming is to make traditional boring broad acre

There are quite a few of us here with some farm experience that simply don't think this product ads up. Its like posting an article about a $50k Linux distro aimed at coffee shops.

You're right that situations are individual - but actually the water distribution side of things can be fairly generic. But note that drip tape is incompatible with tractor-based agriculture and will only be used with perennial or labo

As much as it's fun to think about, food doesn't need to be grown in urban areas with expensive real estate. Green houses and hydroponics are great, but they can just as well be done on cheap land. The biggest difficulty in food p

Profits are the things that allow valuable products to scale. Its odd to me that Venezuela thought that getting rid of profits for producers would help society.

Unless they put the farmbot on wheels, you're talking about too small of a square footage to generate any interesting yields. You'll spend WAY more time maintaining the bot than you would just planting and mulching. The farmbot d

I love the idea, but as a fairly well-off hobby farmer myself, there is no way I would spend that much on this product. I bought 1 mile of drip tape for $150 off of https://www.berryhilldrip.com Solar panels are a cheap commodit

Most people trap themselves in the certainty of belief. Some move beyond the certainty of belief and get trapped in nihilism. Those that move through nihilism gain a perspective on meaning itself, realizing that meaning is relative and can

Back in the day of hard drives, the random access I/O would be nasty and you'd have to be careful about creating sparse files, so you'd end up double writing the missing packets. you'd also still need congestion control
