I agree that at some point there will be a decrease in risk taking and investments but I don't think that risk and investments are inherently more important than all other factors. I am also not arguing for 1000:3 or…
So in Bezos case with his estimated net worth of 205B USD and assuming a average net worth of an american family of 750k (not sure how accurate this number is it was the first thing on google) this comes down to Bezos…

Radioactive waste is doing real damage to the planet. After decades of evaluation storage facilities germany has no option that is considered safe. We have a responsibility towards the following generations. This…
I don't think thats how most people mount a bicycle. You can easily get on it without touching the brakes. After all while you are still touching the ground you are breaking it.
Given that you feel like the Pareto distribution can never be wrong I propose that we model all taxes accordingly. After all it should be natural that very few people pay most taxes while most pay almost nothing.…
The point of distinction is that EU internal immigration and the refugee situation are entirely different things. Refugees leave there home countries because of war and terror. Members of the UN are obligated [1] to…
I never understood why people care how many people are part of the creation of music. The overall product should be better if every part of it (writing, producing, perfoming, ...) is executed by an expert in the field…
>How is Google holding consumers hostage and not Apple? It does not matter what Apple is doing this is about Google. I would expect that there are ongoing investigations against Apples practices regarding similar issues…
I met a couple of people in online games that I would consider friends. I guess winning and loosing together helps to bond :D
1 and maximizing time spend in the app (see sibling comment) seem like a good explaination for this. I'm not sure about 2 but it might be true aswell. > 3. You'll use the service regardless of whether they offer it,…

For me it works well to listen to music with lyrics that I know so well that I dont even really listen to the lyrics anymore. In general I feel like music works better if I know it well. I like to listen to more…
For the vast majority of users git is bug free. If there is an issue with git nowadays its highly specific and well suited to be handled in a mailing list. This also makes it easier for the git devs to focus on actual…

I know about the phrase I just felt like giving an equally vague answer to your comment. To stay on topic what makes you think that the comparison is flawed? What makes webpack uncomparable to make? How can android /…
Your phrase is broken. You can easily compare apples to oranges.

>What do you build when everyone talks to each other over Slack? This should be pretty obvious. You build all systems around a single messagebroker and each service/unit uses a chrome browser to connect to it.
I would argue that git at its core solves the problem of handling a shared verifiable state. The history of a git repository is build on the same hashing principles as a blockchain to ensure that history cannot be…
You are mixing things up. While it's true that Cryptocurrencies try to solve a different problem than BitTorrent, Git and Email neither of those applications rely on a single centralized server owned by a single…
