Thats kinda neat idea : who suggested an electoral system of "weighted voting proportional to the amount of income tax you pay," But i would go not for absolute amount of tax paid, but for relative tax paid with some floors and ce

The analogy here would be : a kid who wants a toy but does not have money. So he keeps dreaming how he some day would get that toy and how he would play with it and how it would make him happy, but times goes by and he still does not have m

Best code is the one that you have not written :) Because the goal is not the code , it is the things that code does, and if it can be done without code, its the best code. Also if you produce lots of code that does not do anything in reali

So to give you other example. You live and nearby opens a chemical plant and starts smelling, so you just buy gas mask and hazmat suit or start complaining? And yes other means of transport also does pollute, but amount is is critical here.

highway != public transport And pollution from bus or tram is much easier to control. Looking at you petrolheads who like to "Rolling coal"

"Ethics has nothing to do with how an action is perceived" "...considering the ethical implications of that action" Are these two not contradictions? And is it not the too big of a load on an actor to think about everyth

Is ethics another tool in a power play game (religion being another) that people use to exert dominance over other people? No one expects of cat or pigeon to be ethical. But somehow humans sometimes get overloaded by external demand to thin

and i'm pointing out, that there is concept of credible threat. One thing is when bum in the street shouts at passing by cars that he's gonna kill them all and throws some stones, and another is when armed swat team at your door p

Take the bridge analogy. Why screw with the ferry business and build a bridge?

Would you like to see how private industry would handle city water system, and how much subscriptions would cost? They probably could do it cheaper, but they would charge the hell out of the end consumer as profit. Because thats the idea of

Is this fixed cost per filling, or does it include cost of developing the system? I somehow doubt that for all Americans to fill taxes it would cost 6.5b$ (163x40) I think its like building a bridge analogy, when it costs you to use ferry o

We don't need to "think" if they are noisy. We can measure that. So how noisy are they?

Well that was the original android phone idea. Get a hackable open device that you can write apps for your self. Even attach third party hardware to it for extra functionality with lots of customisation. But this idea has mutated quite a bi

You can not move datacenter built on land. But you can tow this datacenter to new direction if needed. Just like "Howl's Moving Castle" :)

I think that that "best" is not always measured in money. And it should not be. Countries are made of people, and people wellbeing should be the main priority of country. And when stepping a bit back, all countries are made of peo
