That doesn’t address the core issue of rule of law and property rights though. Pick any number of countries in Africa and air drop them ag-tech that’s 50 years into the future. I don’t for a second believe that it would cause much of anythi

Here’s a quick question, what makes you think it’s the lack of technology that is the cause for poor farming yields? What makes you think it’s not due to property rights and rule of law? If you went 50 years in to the future and came back w

Little do the protesters know that the actual tools of war are PowerPoint and Word. No mission is launched without first planning and revising using those tools.

You keep referring to your image converter project as a reference point, but if it’s just a single page form that does the converting and nothing else that’s substantially less than the project you’re talking about. Not only that, but the w

No way all this takes 200 hours. If your gut is telling you 200ish I’d go ahead and double that estimate. I don’t doubt your skill and confidence, but I do doubt your time estimate and management skills. That’s a whole different beast that

One could have a “good” engineer but the engineering team/dept/section will be lackluster. A strong engine without a rudder is meaningless and vice versa. There is a reason why leadership of teams/section/department etc

Mike Rowe isn’t talking about unskilled labor. He’s talking about skilled labor like plumbing, carpentry, welding, electricians, etc. Not a stock boy and the like.

There’s very little “talent” native to Miami. As far as S.A engineers that’s also probably a tough one...I mean staffing a HQ with foreigners is a tough sell, don’t you think? If anything Miami is still alluring to those across the US for w

What’s the state of freelance and entrepreneurship in countries where there is a socialized healthcare system? I think this would be easy to look up for places like Canada, UK, France etc?

It’s too simplistic a measurement to use, clearly it’s incorrect to use it by itself. Another example to use would be imagine a neighborhood with the Forbes 100 richest, the extreme income disparity there between Number 1 and Number 100 cle

Can you explain how income disparity hurts? Just using that measurement alone it can distort the ground reality. To list a couple high wealth disparity countries: Singapore, US, and North Korea. Clearly one of them is not like the others.

Have you seen the total returns of VC money? Too lazy to link stuff now but a perfunctory search will reveal that the returns are not what you think they are. They essentially approach 0% outside of the few powerhouses. Can’t really use the

I don't care or need to love you. But I do love my family and myself. So if I need to put on a smile and provide a service or good to you for money to help the people I love I will do it. That's the point of capitalism and free ma

This is fake news. Time to update your sources. If this was an issue for a clearance, then you might as well insta-ban the majority of holders.

This sarcasm does not move the discussion forward. There’s a number of things a person can do in the U.S to pick up a skill from a trade to medicine. With grants, loans, or any number of free/paid courses. Also, it is truly impressive

I never said Amazon would be considering a Caribbean island as a potential candidate. I think you missed my general point. What does a company do when trying to gain your business? They can compete on price or quality/service. In this

And yet I’ve never heard the counter outcome being discussed. What do you do when the business goes on a down period and there’s just enough money to pay the employees but not the owner(s)? Assuming the employees don’t get let go (to have

Because how else can a city compete? Look at the number of Caribbean islands which are known to be “tax havens”. Besides offering virgin beaches and piña coladas (which other places can also offer), they can also advertise favorable taxes a

Because price negotiations aren’t disclosed and are privy between hospitals and insurance provusers. The real crux is that point, the patient is removed from pricing and so the whole market becomes distorted. It’s like going to a store with

How does one get locked in when it’s a simple function in X language? Seriously, serverless is just an endpoint they provide. You write the code and they handle everything else.

Yep that’s a lesson learned for me as well. I got blasted with Indian dev shops asking if I wanted their “expert” services. I did follow up to see what “expert” meant and I was not surprised to find a site that looked like early 2000s.

When there’s volatility there’s “alpha” to be had. If it was a flat lined chart, then no one would gain or lose which means 0% yield for an investment (my math could be wrong /s ). The question is if you’re sophisticated or lucky enoug

Where were you when Walmart was the worst monopolist in town? Before that it was Kmart, then Sears. This is an overplayed tune.

Yes go protest. I don't know why this is a common question for people in tech. Showing up in person and being there gives legitimacy to the protest and you incentivize others to come help as well.

There’s no actual price charts, is there? Just the current price? What markets are you using to source the information from?

Lol what. There’s a gas station near my house that has a sign on the pump “cash $2.30/g, credit card: $2.45/g”. Consumers always are passed the cost because it’s they are the ones holding the purse.

Are we though? Most of the time people look for a pill solution to major deficiencies in their lives. The doctor isn’t strapping you down and shoving the drugs into your mouth. Just like blaming the heroine drug epidemic at pharma and docto

Because those points he’s trying to make are extremist and violent it seems. “The only fix is war” seems like the typical extremist sound bite by someone with those views. Proposing violence to fix an issue with which appears your friend is
