Every industry is regulated, it’s coming for software and it will help the common user from being exploited. Do you see the legislation for broadcasting and say, ‘What makes that different from how you have no free speech in China?!’ We’ve

Why did China visit the Americas but instead of colonising or establishing trade... just leave? Sometimes the will just isn't there.

Starting at 100k you lose your personal allowance which places you in an effective 60% tax rate. Most people start avoiding having a take home pay of over 100k for this reason unless they’re in one of the few jobs where they earn far and ab

This is a very good comment. So you put metabolic syndrome down to impairments in mitochondrial function? What’s your view on reversing the damage? I’ve seen studies that saying fasting can improve mitochondrial function.

Isn't step one make people not work by savaging them on income tax, because who wants to bust their ass to break 100k when they're getting a 60% tax bill.

Surely inflation adjusted they’ll be massively out of pocket if they hold the bonds to maturity. That’s why they’re worth so little in the first place.

Exactly. It’s a neat way to prevent a run, especially if the market makers are acting in cahoots.

I read this sentiment as basically saying the users experience of the app matters less than the experience of the dev who works on it.

Could have done with being more concise and pointed. But the framing of people like Trump, Tate and Boris being catalysts for creating reaction chains that everyone feeds off of is going to stick with me. The ending is great: > ‘ Forgive

eBay is awful, I don't understand why they haven't improved their site experience at all since becoming popular in the noughties.

I got to wonder if it feels less confrontational only because it’s harder to see their reactions to your comments. Obviously I don’t know how these meetings go, just a passing observation

In my opinion if you have something that you can afford to spend tons of time over engineering before it’s delivered, then it’s not important to the business. If you’re being screamed at to deliver asap and having to take shortcuts, that’s
