There is a non-technology solution. Start a religion and declare your blog a sacred text. As long as you have followers, the text will be kept safe and translated into whatever communication mediums or languages are available in the futur

I guess the question is whether the wealth of the top 10% is related to the issues of the rest. There are a number of possible places to get the same money (budget reallocations, corporate wealth, etc). It is not obvious to me that these

What exactly is "wealth hoarding" and why is it a problem? I keep hearing this term and realize I just tune it out because it sounds like a political slogan. I am open to understanding though just in case this is a blindspot for

I would imagine this is not physical cash but funds in a bank account. You would need to launder the money first to get it into the financial system before making the real estate purchase.

Star salaries can definitely bloat a movie budget but it still costs 10s of millions to make a "small" film. Look up Blumhouse productions, they make low budget horror movies (if a big star is involved, they get a low salary and

There's nothing more humbling when you fight a guy and realize you literally have no chance of beating him and you are merely being toyed with. It's such a strange, frustrating place to be because in most other scraps you get int

Microsoft has pretty well documented cases where they do go to court to prevent data from being shared with governments. Of course, they are not always successful, but they do give a good try.

Seems like the simple solution is to require that all infrastructure be open. Anyone can lease, for a reasonable cost (margins set by regulation), the wires that any other entity has laid. This way, there is still incentive to lay and upg

I would recommend a couple things 1) Ask some of your subscribers why they chose one plan over another 2) Increase prices. It never hurts to find out where the balance of pricing vs conversion lies 3) Create additional tiers. It is hard t

It's less about confidence in the product and more about having a product that is the right fit for you. Companies like Microsoft are at the very high end of requirements and complexity. Dynamics is more targeted at small to the low

This is actually a very insightful question. You get them the same way you plan to get customers after you have built the product. If you do not have a way to get customers to test the idea, then you do not have a way to get customers aft

When you are in an environment where all your other competitors are cheating, I used to think you had only two options - join in or quit. Now, it occurs to me that there is a third - blow the whistle. If VW, or any other manufacturer, had

How did this evolve? I can't think of too many places where a party, rather than an individual, is elevated over the state.

To be more accurate, you want to find a problem that people will pay (money, time, etc) for. He never tried to test that until it was too late. To be fair, this is a very, very common failure mode and I can imagine most people reading thi

Also related, make a note of people's sizes (shoes, hats, whatever). Very often, I find myself looking at a dress and thinking so-and-so would look great in it but I can't buy it because I have no idea what size they wear.

I would take this claim with a giant grain of salt. Assange was in an European city not on a farm in a middle eastern country. Ethics aside, this would be very difficult to operationalize even if it was seriously considered.

Auto-pay is your friend. I would never pay any bills if I had to do them manually. My bank also has a feature where you get notified if a bill is higher than usual so they help you catch if you are being overbilled.

My worst customers pay the highest rates. I continually increase the bill until an equilibrium is reached between the aggravation they cause and the happiness from my increased profits.

As a black person, speaking just for myself, I really do not get the issue around semantics like this. The word "Master" is not synonymous with any race and so does not make me (or anyone I know) uncomfortable. The concept of ma
