Production of the required quantity of seaweed is still a challenge, however the diet is not 100%. The seaweed only needs to be added a supplement to the existing diet. >2% to <10% has been found to be effective in eliminating methane emissions.

I dunno fella bombing the shit out of people on the basis of their data trails seems pretty dystopian to me

Yeah I couldn't really understand the objection here. If it was meant to be an example of sloppy thinking it is a poor choice.

Thanks for the insight - I've wanted to do this with corporate meetings but haven't got past the first step of actually asking. Maybe people won't have as much of a problem as I think they would - only answer is to try, really.

Do you ask people if you can record it before hand? How do they take it, if you do?

This should be the OED definition.

Did you learn how to do it properly? How?

"The Better Angels of our Nature" by Steven Pinker shows that this is the least violent time in history.

"This is always how the conversation would go:

PM: What kind of discount are you offering?

Me: We don’t discount; instead we put our pricing on our website so there’s no misunderstanding.

PM: Well I’m going to need some kind of discount. How about 30%?

Me: As it says on our website, we don’t discount.

PM: But I’m buying 400 seats!"

Looks like a great tool and I'm looking forward to putting it in action.

But, what's with the robot and spaceships blowing up a city in the background of your site?

When Startup Aus have a meetup we should both go, so I can agree with you personally ;)

I think we agree with each other.

I wasn't trying to claim that we can immediately shift these resources, but that this shift won't happen en masse until services has a bigger profile and more to offer than mining.

No, probably not 1-to-1.

However, before the industrial revolution we were all toiling in fields, so I think perhaps labour is more fungible that you give it credit.

I think that people in Burnie in the middle of Tasmania would probably receive the greatest benefits from having fast and reliable internet access. With online education and MOOCs opening up education to those who want it, giving isolated and rural communities access increases the opportunities available to them at a far greater rate than giving the innner city the same benefit.

Coming back to Oz from London put into perspective how far behind we are. With HN London now attracting so many people they've had to start charging a fee to get in, and the community built around Silicon Roundabout, it is very sad to come back home and see the fragmented efforts to build a startup group in Australia.

With Silicon Beach on and off, Startup Grind, lots of small meetups, and Fishburners in Sydney, there are certainly groups to build this community around but I still think we are years behind the critical mass of something like HN London. And that's just to talk about forums for people to gather in - it says nothing about our skills shortage.

I agree with Matt's points regarding our reliance on the resources industry. So many people head off to the mines on a fly-in-fly-out basis, and make incredible coin - but it won't last long-term and then our skill base will be incompatible with value-adding services industries.

However, I think we need successes before a great weight of people will shift towards STEM disciplines, in the same way that the dot-com frenzy saw Web Development course demand explode.

I've heard Facebook is cheaper but haven't seen a comparison on effectiveness yet. We're actually about to try a Facebook campaign. Would love to hear what you're trying and whether it works.

Mate, good luck. First priority is income - if you would like some freelance iOS dev, email me your details and I will ask around.

This, for me, is ultimately the major reason that private banking institutions, as they are currently formed, must be changed.

The implicit and even explicit backing of a government of a private institution, forced as a result of that bank's size and market impact, allows that institution to take larger risks and to privatise profits that are generated as a result of the public's support.

This is a major unintended consequence of saving big banks during the financial crisis.

It depends on what "breaking up the banks" means.

If we just mean to break them up into smaller banks, it is hard to say whether negating the benefits of scale will raise costs higher than the competitive pressure of no longer having dominant institutions effectively being able to set prices.

If we mean to break up securities trading and deposit-taking divisions into separate institutions (as Glass-Stegall was meant to enforce until repealed) then we may see a return to a more stable Wall Street, as the house would be forced to play it's own money instead of yours, and 'banking' will be pure and boring again.

I wish you well in this and I hope you pull it off, but I have to say that when I read things like;

>online hub that will make mucho money (business model is solid!) AND help millions of children & adults be happier

my bullshit detector just goes nuts.

I can see that you have actually raised capital and worked in the field so that helps with credibility but it all gets washed out, in my mind, by the earlier tenor of your claims.

This is how we get there. HTML5 is pretty fresh and it's games like this that let us understand it's capabilities and to improve upon them. I mean, this is a mini MMO implemented in HTML5. That's a pretty big step forward from Pacman in HTML5 already.

Aaaaand it's midnight and I'm meant to have written a 1,000 word post.

I really don't care if these look and feel dorky. How often do you get to participate in using something that looks like the future? I want in.

According to the article I found this in, it started off as a travel blog, built a newsletter database, and when people began asking them to help book trips, they bought a travel agency and began selling holiday packages.
