> So 1 million per cubic meter of C02 = a regulation? You mean, because it would be of great burden to business with a high tax? I guess what I'm saying is that a tax becomes a regulation at the point where you can't afford it

It depends what you're manufacturing, but the obvious answer is probably either • visit their website • buying their product and looking it up the parts online • talk to your vendors For the last one, this is particularly relevant if y

Trick: add up digits, if they are divisible by 3 so is the number. In this case 117 yields 1+1+7 = 9, and sure enough so is 117. (117 / 3 == 39). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divisibility_rule#Divisibility...

I feel like making a much smaller power inverter would be worth a hell of a lot more than $1M.

You don't have to give $276, you could give $27.6 or even $2.76. I think he was just targeting that amount, since it sounds nice and likely his target audience can afford it. Also I think Kickstarter/Indiegogo would be a bad fit

Anonymity is definitely a big problem, but there's something to be said for a network that doesn't have a central authority. I don't think the problem with Silk Road was the anonymity, it was more the fact that it was a centr

Just out of curiosity, what could this possibly be spent on? Assuming it is going to be used to build out in foreign markets, is this mostly advertising/marketing costs? It already seems like they have a pretty good foothold in foreign

If we allow people who we consider morally reprehensible to practice their business without question and profit off of us, perhaps there is something flawed with the business-as-usual approach.* It is only when you take a stand against thes

If by "target audience" you mean "young people", Girls and Game of Thrones (which are also HBO) both seem to be doing just fine. If instead you mean techies... well, I don't think the target audience of this show is

Also the OP mentioned something about not being told his Miranda rights -- keep in mind the police only have to tell you your rights if you're being interrogated. If they're trying to haul your friend off for something, the best t

Way to completely ignore what I said. I explicitly said that I don't believe Googlers/ techies are at fault or are perpetrating some great wrong, but rather that this guy's argument of "rich taxpayers shouldn't have

Let me first start by noting that I am not of the opinion that attacking Google Buses is the right way to go to fight rising housing prices, nor do I believe there should be some class warfare raged. This being said, why does paying collect

Realistically, as a programmer, you know the market is about to be SUPER saturated. In my opinion these people know they are being scammy, so the only appropriate response is to scam them back: build one Flappy Bird clone, sell this one clo
