I like fun domains that just make sense :)

We attempted to create this last year with https://pleasesign.me. Definitely a case of waiting too long on a good idea. Ah well, it still has some features Google might not launch :)

Interesting. Some real challenges getting started on day 1.

Now I'm seeing that the Github bot is created by something called Linovi Developments which has a busted ass website and fewer than 100 Github users authorized it... fishing?

How are you convincing anyone to pay $150/car when your site says it's free for everyone?

You try issuing a chargeback against Blizzard or Valve and let us know how long you keep your account with them.

Go watch some of the major streamers on Twitch. They're constantly trying to figure out why they're dropping frames or why SLI is suddenly fucking up. The illusion that the PC-Master-Race folks like to push is that maintaining and building PCs is easy. Having built many, and owned a computer repair shop, I know that it simply isn't that easy for your average consumer to troubleshoot a computer.

I replied to every single thread in the Dropbox forums pushing my new app that would help solve their problems. Seemed to work well enough!

I then also left comments on every blog I could find talking about the problem. A lot of manual leg work that definitely paid off.

I lived in Chile as the first cohort in Start-Up Chile. Problem I had with Collectivo's is that I had no idea what their route was. Having the ability to arbitrarily say "I'm here and I want to go here." is very valuable.

This isn't a valid argument. You pay taxes for thousands of public services that you may or may not use. You elect the government that decides these things for you. You don't get to choose.

Some perfect examples: pot holes and road maintenance, tree care in your city, national parks, etc. etc. You could sit home and use nothing and still pay, and rightly so.

I used to think this was the right move. Tax everyone personally and let corporations do what they do best.

These days I have trouble reconciling the notion that in the near future we're going to need guaranteed minimum incomes for everyone as more and more jobs are automated. With fewer people working traditional jobs there will be even more incentive to shift the tax base toward the corporation and away from the individual.

tldr: how does abolishing corporate tax jive with universal basic income?

Many a company has been successful simply for not being the other guy.

Some of the answers in the quizzes are deliberately wrong... interesting, purposely making it frustrating so people subscribe to skip.
