Digital nomads don't have to live in Lisbon. Besides, housing supply issues will be solved in 10 years - baby boomers dying.


>, housing supply issues will be solved in 10 years - baby boomers dying.

Dying baby boomers will spend their wealth in retirement (on pleasure and healthcare), and it will end up in the hands of large financial institutions, not the next generation. Do you think this will solve housing supply issues?


yes, you cannot sell a house and move it to a tax heaven.


I, also, do thing diesel generators are way to go for trucking.

What do you think about natural gas generators? They could be cheaper and cleaner.


everyone that was part of lay offs knows they are never as bad as media describe them. They will be alright.


You can solve it be assigning a complexity score to a law. If the law increases complexity you need a supermajority to pass it, otherwise simple majority is ok.


How would you define "complexity score"? The complexity of options trading regulation should not be subject to the same complexity threshold as (eg) public intoxication laws.


It's quite hard, it would be a mixture or references, conditions, size of all legislation.

>The complexity of options trading regulation should not be subject to the same complexity threshold as (eg) public intoxication laws

Why not? The point is to make it a bit harder to pass more complex laws, not stopping it. Your parliament has 500 seats. You need 251 votes to pass new complex law. For laws that simplify complexity you need half of the present MPs e.g. 400 are in, so you need 201 votes.


It would in places where robot owners care about. To avoid social unrest they will be forced to pay for UBI.

The two remaining problems would be:

- purpose and identity.

- places like Bangladesh where industries like textile will disappear.


They certainly talk about UBI a lot, but somehow it never materializes. What does materialize, however, is tax cuts on corporations.

Perhaps they believe that you can automate policing as well, at least enough so that social unrest can be suppressed effectively?


security e.g. massive sandstorm from Sahara blocking a lot of solar


The subsidy is badly structured:

- installing the charging point - 2k credit

- charing at charging station - 2k credit

- your electricity bill - 2k credit

- servicing the car - the more you drive on electric power the greater the discount is, say up to 50% with 2k cap.


renting a car - better rate if you are local.


I found the opposite when renting a car at the airport.

Renting a car in Belgium from the Canadian website is cheaper than renting the same car on the Belgian website.


Hmm… I’m going to try that. Thanks traveler.


Also plane tickets. It was less than half the price for me to buy Peruvian tickets in soles from LATAM than to shop on the equivalent site in USD


Damn. I was wondering why my tickets from Juliaca to Lima were so expensive.


Default DB for App Engine (NDB) has this feature. Implicit indexes are tad annoying.


rx-7 had two combustion chambers.
