There is always a transaction. Tax that. I agree! A digital tax would be effective. But to tax profit means you are taxing all of the revenue minus the costs, which is far less simple. Yeah... so make the tax smaller, but apply it to every transaction. Say... less than 1%. Every transaction. This i...

The second favourite was $8.50 :lol: What are you on about? Horse that won was $1.24 Next favourite was $8.50 The only way it would lose if it was caught on the inside and was surrounded. So when he couldn't hit the front at the start, it just dropped back and waited. And when it made it's move it ...

No regular person uses a phrase like ‘network effects’ in a sentence I’m just sayin’ My online saviour app told me not to apologise for being the smartest guy in the room. You’re my hero. :thumbup: I’m no hero. Just think of me as the dude in the old King Gee ads. Nick Cummins? https://youtu.be/ogS...

Every Monday, a new good idea, supported by a chart

MBAs are for sissies. Maybe they used to mean something.

I got my MBA from the school of hard knocks. Or University of Life. Can’t recall which.

So, we need lithium... and we need hydrogen. What if we could extract both from seawater ...

Most internet companies don’t have a site for each country. Payment is managed by Stripe or whomever. The idea that most of these companies have main bank accounts in each country that handle the cash that is generated in each is false.

Really you haven't seen this before? I've seen one who was last and on the inside. Had to cut through the traffic to beat the favourite on the outside. How much did you have on it?

It happens a the time. These harness racing can be deceiving because the top horse gets caught at the back then it's can be a blessing in disguise if it's a fast paced race.. This wasn't a remarkable run as he was the best horse and you can see on the back straight that it was travelling faster tha...

Zinoviy Kolobanov, Soviet tanker that,together with his crew, destroyed 22 German tanks, 2 canons and 2 half-tracks with his KV-1 during the Battle of Leningrad, in 19 August 1941.

If you have a Hollywood film about you…. https://youtu.be/V18ui3Rtjz4 Who has ever seen something like this in a Group 1? It’s a small field, in part because Secretariat had already belted the best 3YOs in the first 2 legs of the Triple Crown. Different version - better quality https://youtu.be/kx53...

I have it at work sometimes. It’s not amazing but edible.
Substitute basil pesto for the white sauce. No cheese- maybe bit of parmesan and Sundried tomatoes. Torn roasted Chicken pieces.

Ignoring the loon for a moment, there’s three existential reasons why I think hydrogen will be the long term fuel of the future a) hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe b) fuel cells produce a by-product - pure water. No pollution, no restrictions on where it can be used c) it’s an ...

I dare say that picking through Jeff Bezos’ trash won’t find him lying about delivering ventilators to hospitals.

Musk is a liar. He will lie about anything to get the stock price up. And be looks like a rat.

I was talking about Amazon, Google and Facebook wanting to retain access to the G7, so will play ball on the new regs. For instance, if they carry out production in a non complying state, they will still have to report their costs, or potentially lose licence to operate in the G7. If China or Russi...

Nah, its the advertiser who is actually paying something. That’s not what the tax is about. It’s to catch the Big Tech Boys, not their advertising customers or users. What ? The tax will be paid where the “profit”is made. In the case of a Facebook advert the profit is from the person Paying. How ca...

Musk pumps his share price just like he pumps his Doge coins.

That's the advertiser, eh? No, you or me. The actual gimp with the phone watching the YouTube advert in London or Wellington. That’s where Facebook pay the tax.

So yes - from energy efficiency point of view - its better to use renewable energy to directly charge BEV whenever possible than it is ti use it to produce hydrogen to use as a fuel for FCEV.

If it’s a 15% tax on where the sale is made, then is the sale made where the buyer or seller is? For example, where would the tax be applied if a Dubai based company bought an ad on Facebook that was shown to users in Australia?

By the way Mog, I don’t doubt Musk is a great entrepreneur but thinking he says and does things with the best interests of humanity at heart is extremely naive. And as for hydrogen as a fuel - except the ‘fools cells’ slogan I am yet to hear any good arguments from him on the topic. Do you mean tha...
