Just cut one piece in half. It's a puzzle.

Technically it isn't. Life needs entropy for variations and evolution. Also, life doesn't fight. It's identities that fight to maintain themselves. Life just keeps on living.

Do you walk heel or toe first [1]? I would assume that lego bricks only hurt when moving heel first since humans had to deal with stony environments for quite some time. Not that y…

from the standard [1]: >Freshly boiling water is poured into the pot vs preparing green tea [2] >Steeping temperatures range from 61 °C (142 °F) to 87 °C (189 °F) and steeping time…

That's the question. The inhabitants of that place will use global services. Should that tiny place get a cut or should it tax its inhabitants directly?

All very reasonable arguments. What I don't understand is cleaning up in the evening. There is no visual field to perceive if you are asleep.

Build it. There is a global market of parents who will buy it. But on the other hand, why not accept the toys on the floor? You are fighting entropy for no reason. You sleep at nig…

How much does it cost or rather how much does that entire rack with all the supporting systems cost?

This can only be the first step. Since this is a political move, why not change the law and restructure taxes? It's difficult for cities to tax value creation if that value is crea…

Of course it is easier. But putting nature first would create the difference between how nature works and the way people think. I was wandering if we would be better off if we remo…

>>you need people to decide who is eligible for welfare and who isn't. >>In an UBI society, those people could do something else I meant that the administrative layer could be used…

>Martian surface temperatures vary from lows of about −143 °C (−225 °F) at the winter polar caps[14] to highs of up to 35 °C (95 °F) in equatorial summer. https://en.wikipedia.org/…

Evolution has local optima. Octopus and dolphins kind of have the intelligence to create civilizations but they are stuck in water. Dolphins never have the time to re-evolve feet b…

We don't have to remain human. I am pretty sure that at one point, consciousness will be transferred onto machines. The economy won't justify keeping entire human bodies alive.

>then we're far beyond UBI already. In most of Europe, you'll receive an apartment, food, clothes, utilities, Where can you live that life without being an outcast? People in need …

Unneeded efforts is where all the technology began. Some ape grabbing a stick instead of shoving more leaves into his mouth. Investing time and resources, thinking, that's where te…

Why would you have to import money? You can have your own currency within the city. You only need external money for external goods and services. The premise of UBI is that it crea…

>The major problems in the world are the result of the difference between how nature works and the way people think If we eradicate nature and replace it with technology, will we r…

By then, Bill Gates will have taken care of it.

>but the source likely would soon be changed to support alternative stores Which is only fair for those who circumvent the original store.

Yet web-apps are made to not be bothered by load-times. Web-apps are cached by the browser. Once downloaded, startup-time should be instantly. And downloads shouldn't take too long…

This assumes that UBI communities don't create value. But the city is not for free. UBI is just enough to pay for a basic life. If you want to eat great food, have a nice house or …

Somebody has to work for those who collect all the leaked data and use it for whatever is possible. You wouldn't earn fame but money for being a data pirate. Or you create a compan…

But why do you need it? Being on top of HN with 10,000 visitors doesn't kill a simple static site. Likewise, a client-rendered web-app shouldn't be too much for a simple server. It…

What's the point of using those services over uploading the app files into a directory that is served by any webserver? >Render is a unified platform to build and run all your apps…
