I love the idea of it being a self regulating cost, but frankly this whole conversation is about the fact we as humans are not reacting. So I’m all for throwing a price on it to break the cycle of procrastination! Taxes can always be repeal

Like i see personal level actions as a leader to future large scale group actions. Similar to electric cars, they’re inaccessible by cost to most, but the high cost purchaser is their path to mass adoption. Also, if a wealthy person cannot

I really doubt it’s that critical to get to another planet. Or at least, if it is, we could correct that without leaving ie start treating this planet with a little respect.

Eh I’m not convinced. “This rewrite will be different, we will make all the right choices!”. Next conversation “it’s just wrong in different ways”. Like you’re right, the inertia of established countries probably holds us back a lot, but I’

But, why fixate on turning one planet into “habitable” while we do the opposite to the one we are already on? I’d like to see us address those issues of society first before we spread our influence across the literal galaxy.

Honestly, less drama, fair enough...but sadly it's not drama, it's fact albeit in small numbers, this 100% happened as we found out from Snowden docs and other leaks! That wasn't really the point i was trying to make though,

No it’s not. It’s much more like saying the Saudis probably killed the journalist because we do it too.

Depends where you are. In Asia this is very true, in North America it's not true at all. Source: I'm a pilot.

How is the US travel situation with Canada any different to someone coming from say the Netherlands? Regarding pilots, Transport Canada, the governing body over federal aviation regulations has explicitly come out and said use of Canabis is

I would say it really depends by what we measure "produces" and "more" as. Are we talking dollars, weight, or quantity of items? If think if we looked at the specific items, we'd find that there are a lot of items,

Very fair point. I guess the only counter to that is: by 50+ you’ve had a lot of time to try resolve that, if you truly wanted to start something and realized it would be a limit I’m sure that’s enough time to give it a serious shot. Also,

China also produces more goods than those countries combined. It doesn’t matter where it’s made, the issue is making things produce waste that is harmful to the the environment. There are ways to do better, product less waste, but that is m

Sounds like you’ve been burnt a few times. It’s not easy, but frankly, attitude is a big part of the determining factors...is you look at the research, your age should actually give you an advantage. 40-49 is the most likely time to success

All this is true, but as someone who moves to Canada, I’d encourage you to have a plan for housing. Big cities are tough, and $1000 is barely enough for a month of renting a room (if you can find one that is). You’re probably going to be as

Climate change / fear / drama in general, all sell news papers for Murdoch. I'm sure they'll capitalize on this sooner or later, it's a shame for now it seems the focus has been on getting people elected that seem h

When two parties cannot effectively communicate, that’s true. Most of the time when a real conversation can be had these issues quickly dissolve, but having a conversation like that in a political environment or large corporate environment

The good news is we are designing languages for humans, not computers, so we can make a big mess of it and still get the message most of the time. If we were designing for computers, we would certainly prefer more data to interpret the inte

The hyphen seems like a very reasonable compromise, at the very least it tells you the space was intentionally omitted and it should be read together as a compound.

Can you finance the license fee? Ie borrow to get it, and if all doesn’t work out, the corporation goes bankrupt? Or can you lobby the issuing agency to give you a payment plan? My only concern with such a large investment is that at the be

Yeah imo it’s not worth it. The fine is one thing, prison is another...but maybe even worse, being a person that suddenly cannot cross borders, that’s a whole different kind of prison.

People seem to think if there is no obvious evidence it’ll be fine, but the reality is the question will be “have you been to Iran?”. If you lie, you risk making the situation even worse. I’ve had visas in more countries than i care to reme

And the fact that after visiting, any time you want to enter the US you’re going to get given a very hard time. I considered visiting Iran years back as it seems like an interesting place, but the potential for issues at the border made it

Our research indicated the issue was more around data transfer and access to wifi, less around storage.

In many cases it’s because that’s what we demand of them. The “you get what you pay for” line works well here, we demand low cost so they have low time to build anything right. Long term impact is that they never fully developed into season

No worries :) and yeah, i just don’t get it. I oversaw the development of a high ranking app for the last 6 years and it was a massive focus of ours to keep it small for as long as possible. We saw that conversion dropped as the app grew, w
