There is also a big difference between "some deflation" and run-away thousand percent exponential deflation. The Austrians may not have been contemplating the later. Or not have been contemplating that any sober person…

Flawless, zero-latency voice recognition under those conditions is rather implausible. Otherwise though, an impressive vision of the promise of AR. For all the doubters here, notice the enormous number of comments…

It's not about consumer protection. That's just a smoke screen. It's entirely about government revenue. Municipal taxes, sales taxes and government fees. Hotels and taxis and the like have to pay them and AirBnB and…
Is storing energy against the rules? for example pedaling for an hour or two to store up say mechanical energy in a flywheel, spring tension, hydraulic pressure or other means then just put the rotors in gear to lift…
