why are we restricted to windowed layouts of applications? I think we can get more creative than that. I would like a more fully immersive experience that doesn't try to mimic our constrained current experience. Getting to the pixel

Would you include political ideology as another problem? If bitcoin/ether fulfilled their potential, wouldn't that mean the US dollar would fall as the world reserve currency and thereby weaken the US government's influence?

Thank you for sharing this. I'm in a similar situation and asking myself "what's the best that could happen" makes me feel surprisingly uncomfortable.

I would like nationalization if it were split up into a research co-op with manufacturing contracted out to US companies. I would like to maintain some level of competitiveness but also have knowledge sharing across research teams.

I think it's smarter to go after automation and consumption than land value tax as of this moment. It's a lot harder to measure the true value of land compared to consumption. Also, the VAT can also be adjusted for non essential

The most exciting thing about UBI is how versatile its benefits are for human resilience. Work conditions unfair? you have a much easier time quitting knowing you won't be stuck with 0 income. Politics overrun with corporate money?

The academic rigor that nurses and PA's must go through is not the same as a doctor. There are many instances where a nurse or a PA would unknowingly pass something off as normal when a more trained eye could save a persons life. We

well that's not a fair comparison. the iPhone is built to be capable of doing a lot more than a Roomba, thus the cost. Also, much of the specialized expensive equipment is required for the iPhone because of its form factor. For the

During an intense period at university, index cards kept me sane. I wrote my next day schedule on one side every night and kept little to-dos to add on the other throughout the day. I should probably go back to them at some point.
