The reason a tax like that would work, is that a proper investor will only have to pay that tax a few times a year, whereas the HFT actors will have to pay the tax several times a second, so it disproportionately hits the short-term "investors" while "rewarding" people who take a longer view.
When you're working with someone from a different company, they won't be in your company's address book, so you have to type it in at least once to get it into your personal address book. If your company manages it well, that'll go into the corporate address book, but you'll still need to add people from other companies from time to time.
Other people might have had the same question, so he's saved them the trouble of trying to find the answer. At least that's what my teacher's always told me in class, that even if it's a stupid question, other people might be wondering as well...
I like the idea of options that can't be exercised for 10 years or so. Even if they don't stay with the company that long it encourages building a sustainable company so the options will be worth something in that long.
There is now a signs just inside my apartment, and another one on the bedroom door that say "by entering the this apartment you are consenting to sexual intercourse with the occupant."
It's not just that you don't get your money back, once you enter the checkpoint, you have continue all the way through or get hit with a massive fine. Totally not consensual...
If nothing else, surely it's false advertising to label something as a laser pointer, when the description of the product itself claims that it's too powerful to use as a laser pointer.
Well, it's an emotional issue, so people get all worked up and start throwing around words like "thievery", "forcing", "demands"...
Of course one of the big problems is that unless there is government intervention, I could be a good person and start up a computer manufacturing company that sources all it's raw materials responsibly and guarantees to accept all their computers back at the end of their life for proper disposal... Sure some socially minded people will come to me to try and make a difference, but everyone else will be going to the cheap computers at TigerDirect.
People want to be free to make choices: they see that they can make a choice of where to buy a computer, so they think that's a good thing. They don't see that the Chinese Rice Farmer doesn't have a choice in his paddy being polluted, so it doesn't really come into the equation.
At least if we let them all fail we could try rebuilding something that works. Of course in another few decades everyone will have forgotten so it'll happen again, but it'd be fun to do.
Oh you'll get use out of it. You'll be quite happy when they test something new here, and it unexpectedly kills everyone in the town. That'll work out a lot better for you than if they tested it in your neighborhood.
I think the issue is that everyone knows that guns are dangerous, so they get treated with respect. People think of laser pointers as especially cool flashlights, while they are as dangerous as a gun to someone's eyesight. Sure, they do have the small warning box near the bottom of the product page, but the title reads "Green Laser Pointer...", so you know these'll get bought by people who don't realise what they can do.
The economy has worked for a long time by forcing the population as a whole to accept the externalities of pollution in exchange for profits of the companies making the stuff we want. Clearly we can't keep doing things that way, so we need to find ways to push those costs back onto the books of the producers, who will in turn pass those along to consumers. That means that some things will indeed cost more, where there is a large environmental cost associated, it does not, however mean that we will all forgo electricity, air conditioning and computers.

Ok that was a bit harsh: he only beat you by one minute...
Or even if he lies... Really it's just an exercise in circular logic. I wonder if he's self-destructed yet, or if we were in time to save him.

and don't mind hovering over a ball lightning.
Why would I mind hovering over a ball of lightning? You just made the concept 1,000% cooler!

Yes, but you never thought to call it art until just now. Manuel Palou thought to call it art, so that's why it's art.
Clearly you don't know Texans.
How hard is it to learn Australian?
Extremely, we communicate largely using grunts. The only time we use actual words is to name venomous, or otherwise deadly creatures.

An unsolicited finger in the anus, while crude, is not criminal.

I used to play a knock-off called Banannoid (or something.) It was fun...
My first thought too; how hard would it be to take him to a sleep lab for a couple of nights and see exactly what happens?
