Just for a second, try and imagine what world you would be living in without fossil fuels in the last 200 years. Would you have the computer or phone to write on? Would you have the internet to connect? Your house? Your food? That's no

Funny how the left-wing Yanis Varoufakis probably agrees with that statement. But yeah, why don't you far right anyone who disagrees with the mainstream.

Going by your logic any airline would happily see planes falling out of the sky "as it's cheaper than maintaining it". If we had a private bridge owning/maintaining company, you really think they could afford that one &q

This seems like an insanely hard problem with many false positives/negatives. But of course the media hysteria against tech and fake news might eat it up and praise twitter. Nice PR move for non techies.

I think this is an easy move for Google, it's a "strategy credit" as Ben Thompson would put it. Google already knows most of what it needs about you, and it will in the future from searches. It has no motivation to allow 3rd

Wow, not one positive comment so far. I guess the American dream really is dead. Feels like Eastern Europe. A man goes to hell and upon arrival sees two giant boiling cauldrons - one with a large detail of devils, and one completely unatten

This shows a complete lack of knowledge about how most industries evolved in the past. Every industry was in the phase you describe the space industry in. History is full of example of industries where no-one could imagine the potential bef

The thing with these things is in theory it sounds great, if you have a fully independent checker/person doing the checks. The trouble is we are human, and no one is truly independent. Put that together with the classic phrase, there a

I don't understand all the negativity in other posts in this thread. Poverty is falling dramatically right now, and is falling faster than the UN ever predicted. It is quite likely that we can feed 7bn people. We have 80 years to come

That's not actually relevant to what I'm saying. The more relevant question would be, what % of 20-30 and 30-40 year olds start businesses? I'm not surprised most become successful over 30, it takes time to learn.

Psychologically this is not true at all. It's much easier to take risks when you have nothing to lose. How many 18-30 year olds do you see having a swing at it and trying something, vs 30+ people with families and savings to burn?

There's an interesting case here of do you manipulate search algorithms for political reasons, or political alignment? The brand value of a lot of left wing brands is higher without question (and I imagine they have more links too), s
