In my experience much of that is corporations which are always slow to switch. Almost all the people who buy windows machines I know have gotten windows 10

I think Google is a little the victim of it's own success. They are never going to be as perfect as we expect on these answers

I think that would happen only if basic income means most people stop working. Most people I've met aren't really satisfied to just live around the poverty line to the point where they work multiple full time jobs so there seems t

One good thing about a true basic income is that there wouldn't be conditions for receiving it so it would significantly lessen the penalty for working legitimately (obviously there would still be tax reasons to have income you don&#x2

Maybe I'm misunderstanding but isn't trades being anonymous an issue itself? There are tons of regulations that you couldn't enforce (like insider trading) if you never knew who traded

I love hot dogs, tacos, and pepperoni pizza too much to be vegetarian but what I did was just cut down my meat intake. I eat meat for no more than 3 meals a week

It's amazing how freeing working only from 9 to 5 and not having access to emails away from the office is. I'm surprised anyone would willingly work that crazy

I think the difference is that people don't see USD as ephemeral because the chance of the US government collapsing is about 0 while the chance of a cryptocurrency startup collapsing is definitely much greater than 0

I've had a similar problem where sometimes it seems like my company has too many "software architects".

Terms like "liberal" and "conservative" can encompass up to 100 million very different people. Practically even if most people are understanding and kind (which honestly has been my experience) there still will be a huge

Promotion of any political issue is obviously going to be divisive. If everyone already agrees on something then it's not really a political issue.

I've met many people in their early twenties who probably would love to see friends for an hour a day. I think if people were hanging out with friends for an hour a day they wouldn't have this problem

The increase in weird border controls actually started under Obama. There's really no winning in American politics when it comes to sensible regulation or immigration policies. Trump is mainly just responsible for the recent "trav

I think part of the problem with nuclear is that the consequences are pretty clear. Burning fossil fuels puts a lot of particulates into the air that overall kills some people but we don't really think about it. It would be interesting

I miss church but not religion, sometimes it's nice to just eat some donuts and chat with random people. Sadly I can't do a startup where people just eat donuts and chill

Even discounting the possibility of a catastrophic crash bitcoin is a pretty risky investment because it's relatively new and unknown compared to most ways that normal people invest. Nothing wrong with some bitcoin as long as it's

99% of political news has no significant impact on my life (and actually focusing on it makes me less happy). You can significantly reduce the amount of news you get while still getting the few things that really matter. I've found per

As someone who has boxed I can assure you that if you practice a lot you will get hit in the head many many times. We generally went decently light for punches or kicks to the head in practice for this reason. It's a pretty safe assump

The question of if they should be compensated each time it's played seems easy to me. Let the people who create the content decide how they want to monetize it. Unless I already had a contact with someone, if they told me I wasn't

This seems like a classic catch 22. If they go completely free speech people will complain about all the propaganda on Facebook and some countries will just block it. On the other hand if they do moderation people complain about censorship.

What I wish is that houses were closer together and more of my property taxes went to creating nice parks which I could always walk to. I once met someone from Minnesota who just had some empty space behind their house that was fully closed

I feel like there is practical worth in drawing a line in the sand, though. If all open source libraries had this then using open source would essentially mean you can't sue the big corporations (or having to go through some very lengt

In most places unless there are huge subsidies (e.g. net metering) commercial scale solar should be less expensive overall. Solar owned by the homeowners might help in niche scenarios but overall it's often just not a good investment f

I'm a nerdy upper middle class white guy but I have a different view from some of the engineers, especially female, that I've met (many are aerospace and not software engineers). Engineering has a tendency to attract a certain typ

This might not be a commonly held view but in my experience societal norms and values are the only thing really protecting us. If the police come after me and the courts don't stop them nothing will make a difference, even with the bes

I interned at a company that did some prosthetics and other medical devices. They were designed expressly for medical applications and they still were a pain to get approved. Sensors have to be really accurate if a doctor is going to use th

Most are falsifiable and they are hard to do over the Internet (and are easier to fake over the internet). Also you can't change the info if there is a breach

The American government already pays for a pretty large amount of healthcare through medicaid and medicare. Do you not support those programs?
