That won't stop organizations with lots of money unless the cost for more credits raises exponentially. Everyone will have to stop when millions and billions get into play.

Inconvenience. With the second account one has to re-friend all the users from the first account. Also it would lead to bad social standing as by re-friending it will be obvious th…

Ford was paying more money to employees who were more conformist to his standard of ideal living. To the hyper individualistic culture like USA today this can only seem bad but thi…

> Finally, is the challenge of having a society built around strong ethic ties. Even if Helsinki were to switch to English, there will be always be outsiders i.e. those who are not…

Can speak and will speak are two different things. Many people can speak English but would like not to. This is especially the case in groups where foreigners are much less in numb…

Cries in InteliJ (java) and 1GB+ ram usage.

The Elm Architecture is not that super novel. Actually it came from game development from the Components way of thinking. Take a look at this book. It's a classic for gamedev: - ht…

The Artificial Neural Network is essentially just a huge set of formulas involving millions and sometimes even billions of values. Debugging in conventional software engineering se…

To do anything software dev you need some basic level of smarts. People who have them can also be trained/educated in any other scientific disciplines and create value there. Talen…
