Hi Peter. Which countries are the most popular destinations for founders to immigrate to, in your opinion? I've heard Dubai is the best place right now. Thanks!

I also find access to limitless information addicting, and get bored at work sometimes. Practical advice: 1) Cut internet to your house, or get someone to change the WiFi password if you can't do that. 2) Remove your SIM card and glue

On the other hand, being constantly ostracised from public spaces isn’t great either… something I find infuriating when I travel abroad. If there were at least a few smoking bars where you don’t have to go out into the cold to smoke I think

Out of curiosity, could you give a few examples of the difficulties you experienced?

Funny, for me it’s the opposite. I always try to use the web view, and there’s an annoying pop up that redirects me to download Google maps. When I switch back into the web browser to go back to the web view, it auto redirects me to the app

Care to elaborate? Sounds ideal frankly.

As if a Brazilian court cares about consumer protection. I wouldn't be surprised if the courts are _happy_ Apple are still not shipping iPhones with the charger, now they don't have to invent another reason to fine Apple to "

You have written “it’s” instead of “its” on the last two occurrences of the word. It should be without the apostrophe, as it’s indicating possession. I used to get this wrong all the time too.

You are relying on unenforceable government incentives (copyright law) to create an income for yourself. Find a way of commercialising the information in your head that makes it technologically difficult to propagate without yourself being

I used to walk home from school past a neighbour who had a similar system. The speakers were quite pathetic, so we figured out it was a recording pretty quickly. And so we took to running past the house again and again, triggering the barki

As a non-american this would have been really confusing without your explanation.

You can't do that on the streets of Europe either - I don't see a no-walk-on-public-pavements list though.

I just think that it's difficult to have the foresight to know whether something is good or bad. Perhaps if we allowed bitcoin mining in some regions and disallowed it in others, then mining energy usage would decrease on a large scale

Why is it up to governments to decide whether Bitcoin is a good idea or not?

I wonder how something like this would function with chorded typing? A keyboard like this [1] with only one key per finger I would imagine would be relatively easy (easier than handwriting even? Since it's not limited to only your fing

Spent the last week's evenings researching this. Make a list of the features you need. For me, using markdown and YAML frontmatter was the best solution. As for traversing the notes, I picked VSCode (I would have picked Obsidian but it

I always thought this was the normal size for churches until I left home (I grew up by St Albans Cathedral, also known as the Abbey amongst locals as the church previously had a monastery. You can still see where it was attached before it w
