The kind of unemployed people that would require does not exist. People are going to be unemployed and starving because they can't use or even access "solar technology, robotics, AI and classic engineering"

Glad you are and always will be a millionaire who doesn't use any public services and will never need to worry about hospital bills, housing or food. Otherwise you're an idiot.

You'll definitely start charging $2, otherwise you would not have stayed in business for long. If you keep the same price, but everyone is charging 4x as much, you are losing, because everyone else needs 4x less customers to make the s

People with jobs have income for the basic needs. Those without jobs get state assistance for the basic needs. No need to give everyone a basic income.

I mean Universal Basic Income , the system that people rave about where everyone gets this magical problem solving basic income.

If everyone gets $1000 every month guaranteed for "basic needs", the prices for those basic needs will increase accordingly. And independently. So you'll end up spending that $1k on either housing, bills or food. So you will

Wait a minute... if this is a Schengen visa, what's stopping people from just getting it and then going to Germany to work on a startup? Not that it's a bad thing (well, it is for France I guess)...

I clearly remember using this to connect to the Internet via EDGE/3G on a HTC Tytn II and later a HTC Magic directly from my laptop, instead of tethering (which was against ISP ToS). I think I'm going crazy now because none of the

Huh, I used HSCSD on an Ericsson R320 (I think it even had GPRS). Slow as balls even at the time, and WAP was total shit haha.

No, dogs don't smile. Some learn the baring of teeth as being peaceful instead of defensive, but most of them don't, or rather can't smile. You can find the same exact "smile" in goats, sheep and pigs, they're

Ugh EU passports look so bad with that butt ugly bordeaux color :D

by prodmerc 10y ago
Why? I've seen such a system in action - based on the passport number, they pull up a digital copy of that passport, including the information on it and photo, as well as the list of dates when you traveled in/out of the country.

Whatever happened to just eat less, exercise often? Oh that's right, it's so simple that no one believes it works.

I'd say that is not true anymore - it used to be pretty hard to buy games before (with retarded regional restrictions and no Steam, etc). So people couldn't be assed to buy a game if they could not find a cracked one. But today, y

Protection for PC games has become really good - Denuvo seems to be sophisticated enough that even 2 year old games have still not been cracked. At the very least, it makes it possible to not lose sales at launch, which is when most of the

Well, I'm kind of in the same position: I'm slow. I do everything by the book, but in the end, everyone else does more. I did notice that they're cutting corners, but then I tried to do it too, and I was still slower. So, I&#

Heh, reminds me of a 100 Mbps fiber connection I had... with the slowest router in existence, which could only push 45 Mbps before literally dying (simply stopped responding). I wonder if the ISP used those on purpose...
