I think we should also be looking into progressive property/land taxes. Let's say everyone's first $100-200k in property is untaxed. Or you could make even more brackets. Another problem is super dense developments not paying

Prefilled vape cartridges, especially the ones that are more diluted, are almost exactly "session pot". Each hit is a tiny microdose that even a novice could handle a few of.

Bitcoin core needs to raise the blocksize, the transaction fees are too high and the delays are way too long. If eventually the lightning network works as good as they claim it will they can always lower it later. I don't believe a maj

I like that lyft is getting more marketshare. But could we create an opensource rideshare server and a nonprofit that lets drivers keep 99% of the fare? There is nothing these companies are doing that the drivers couldn't get done them

The market price is based on people's intuition multiplied by the money they control. There are plenty of situations where the majority of the money ends up on the opposite side from the smart bettors. Eventually, in a long enough time

Dear AMD, please turn on SR-IOV for your GPUs on these laptops. I want to be able to use it in multiple VMs. This is a huge selling point for some people, I will go with Intel because they have GVT-g enabled on all their chips.

I think people are really underestimating how much they can use your friends search data (especially ones you have been in close proximity to) for your ads. Or how big their interest "niche" is. There are only so many categories o

Small noises will wake me up instantly, I have to have a fan or white noise filling the room to sleep soundly. Also if you haven't already try to make your room pitch black, tape any leds on electronics and get blackout curtains.

Chances are self-driving cars will have signed code and unique crypto ids stored in security enclaves. Every manufacturer will be able to see exactly which car signed the message. If someone was sending bad messages they can just ignore tha

Especially Google Maps, I'm waiting for a competitor to blow it out of the water. Satellite images are relatively cheap, you could have a map that shows a daily updated image of every street, and show timelapses. But their streetview w

The finish line is full automation. There isn't some breakthrough that's going to happen overnight, you are watching it be created in slow motion by Amazon & Walmart. They are slowly working out every issue in their supply cha

When I was young and loved the movie JFK I thought it was a huge conspiracy. Then I went to Daley plaza, its so much smaller than it seems on tv, that window is really close. I think any reasonably trained shooter could have got him.

As horrible as they were, the British Empire probably was a positive influence on the world. Without them I doubt we would be able to have a conversation 1000s of miles away right now. The same argument can be made for the Roman Empire. Emp

But after reading the definition I completely understand the meaning of it. And if saudade becomes popular enough, eventually it will be usable in everyday english. For example look at schadenfreude.

The future of GPU is virtualization (ie where a single gpu can power multiple VMs at almost native performance). When the mining profits start to dwindle, AMD is going to need something to fall back on. They should start putting MxGPU on th

This can't be too hard to build: 1. Generate 16TB of random data, backup/replicate many times 2. Think of data as 16 billion 1k pieces 3. Generate 64 random piece addresses using hashA(key) as seed 4. Concatenate the 64 pieces int

I have an idea for a poker metric that measures your risk for entire tournament. Each time you face elimination, your percent chance of surviving is multiplied together. So let's say you finish a tournament and faced all in 3 times wit

Zoning is the major cause of homelessness. There are almost no cities where you can set up a SRO or tiny houses and actually help people. If Bezos is still looking for a cause I hope he considers setting up a free city, some place probably
