>Yet they're faced with ~2.5-4x higher costs for essentials like healthcare, education and housing. Good point. Interestingly education is one of the industries that seems to be least disrupted by technology. The authors point somew

It seems that we need to map and better understand the relationship between innovation and demand. If our basic needs (food, housing etc) can be satisfied for a fraction of what they used to cost due to innovation, where will the excess dem

It's not about velocity it's about rate of cars through a point per hour. If you have a mergepoint with 10 lanes. Each lane can support say 20 cars per minute. If you have 200 cars approaching the merge-point per minute the cars c

I think you're may be thinking of this as one mechanism instead of two separate mechanisms. You are dealing with a queue as well as a through-rate at the merge-point. The through-rate with one lane can still be 1/2 of the through-

Not so much. It's more analogous to surfing on a wave. Any object with mass warps spacetime towards itself. This doesn't cause an infinite buildup of 'spacetime' on the object's surface. There are concerns with buil

I wonder if the civilization creating the simulation would have motivations beyond just doing this because they can. Perhaps with the benefits of a vastly accelerated timescale a simulation could be used for predictive purposes. As for simu

Canada has long had great incentives for firms seeking to employ engineering talent (as long as your firm is already in Canada). It's about time we reduced boundaries for founders to come here and take advantage of the inexpensive engineeri

This is a statistical correlation. You might as well say that eating ice cream causes drowning. Why? People eat more ice cream on hot days. People swim more on hot days. Increase in swimming means increase in drowning, therefore when people

If I'm not mistaken, Gladwell uses the term "Expert" when referring to specific skills. I like to think of Entrepreneurship as a conglomerate of opportunity and many skills. Perhaps if a startup was solely dependent on a single(ish) skill l

Beside the point of this article I'm amazed by the following: "The average person spends 1704 hours a year watching TV". From my understanding an average work year is around 2000 hours. If 'the average person' worked in an enjoyable environ
