Maybe just the people that can move $25 million should be in the same room, the rest of us can keep the 12 second commute down the hallway.

Right, but the employee would be able to refuse the consideration, and thus the contract, and the state of affairs wouldn't change. They would be free to say whatever they wanted.

The classifieds in the back of newspapers are a type of ad that helped normal people buy/sell their stuff and paid for actual journalism. Some ads are ok. Advertising as a concept is very broad.

And the US applies its tax laws to all US citizens worldwide and coerces foreign financial institutions into compliance.

I've replied to a few comments here pointing out why NZ and Canada would be considered both on the same footing as part of the Empire but also not at the same time. Unlike, say the US, independence for the former Dominions isn't s

And NZ competed at the Olympics in 1920. If Canada counts as not the Crown, then so does NZ. It's a major oversight for an article on this subject.

And NZ adopted the Statute of Westminster in 1947, so was on the same footing as Canada with respect to claiming the "first to the top" title.

Yeah but New Zealand also separately declared war in World War II, so if that is your yardstick then there is still no difference between a Kiwi and a Canadian getting there first.

Tourism? That's the only thing that even approaches realistic that I can think of.

Sure, it's almost like you need to exercise judgement when selecting metrics and planning your work.

> Take that to it's extreme and you see that code can be simplified down to nothing without anything being destroyed. I disagree. The thing being destroyed is readability and common understanding with your fellow programmers.

I said this elsewhere: never wear gloves with roots that rotate. Drill, table saw, router, belt sander are all big no-nos. Orbital sander is about the only power tool I'd be comfortable wearing gloves with.

But how does that stop this sort of man in the middle attack, the other scamer on the other call just asks the real bank for the number?

Yeah, open source could mean code distributed in zip bundles. Git history is an orthogonal concern.

I'd like to try this out at some stage. Any tips? Any thing that caught you out?

Yup. Over the last 10-15 years the innovation in tech has gone from cool tech that serves users, that improves lives, to instead legal engineering, user hostile tech and behaviour that milks users for every last drop of revenue. AI might be

It's not that hard to solve if you have a "I like this / I hate this" signal from the user. Unfortunately for Google, G+ was probably their best chance at something like that. Now they just have stuff like time on page t

And you should probably be allowed one, assuming total cost of all externalities is appropriately priced in. And possibly only for use on private roads and tracks because there doesn't seem to be a fair price for poisoning the air that
