If only we had some kind of purely peer-to-peer version of electronic cash that would allow online payments to be sent directly from one party to another without going through a financial institution.

The numbers only work if you assume the program exists in a total vacuum. You can expect Congress will borrow any social security surplus as they start running short in other places, like Medicare.

They have better outcomes actually. Higher economic growth, higher population growth, lower state debt, lower unemployment. Of course, exceptions apply but the overall data is pretty clear. https://www.richardhanania.com/p&#

Maybe this applies to the Internet more than computers. There's still plenty of gatekeeping to go around and you can thank phones and tablets for that. If you're not between the ages of 20 and 40 give or take, then computers must

I had the same thought. I don't remember if it was exactly this book, but I remember reading a book that explained all kinds of engineering concepts for my kid brain. And I remember the latter part of the book had some computer science

Where do we draw the line at what counts as an advertisement? I just bought a cassette tape that I learned about from a Facebook post. What do we call that post if not an advertisement? And if that was illegal, how exactly would I have foun

If you really to keep arguing this... California's FAIR plan is not a subsidy because it is not trying to lower the price of a good or service. It is rather a safety net program for those who cannot access private insurance (another po

It seems like we're just arguing semantics at this point. And no, we don't have to evacuate the entire west because of fire risk, we just have to change incentives so fewer people move to the very hazardous parts.

That's not a subsidy unless your definition of a subsidy is anytime the government gives anyone anything. It would be a subsidy if the state provided the private market with financial incentives to reduce premiums. That is not what the

>Yes, fire insurance has been heavily subsidized by the state. No, it wasn't subsidized by the state. The state has actually made fire insurance more expensive for everyone - including the people who lost their homes. >Separately

The state (and city of LA): 1. Created dangerous conditions through inadequate fire management. 2. Prevented the private market from adequately communicating the risk through price increases. As a result, 7/12 of insurers stopped or re

Would you extend this logic to all government assets, or just cryptocurrency? The government owns nearly a third of all land in the country.

No, I just pointed out that it's easy to guess someone isn't a minority because minorities aren't common by definition.

Just like the vast majority of Americans. Of course, none of the things this group is complaining about have anything to do with the rights of black people either.
