Wait, how do you get a man to produce eggs? Aren’t they present in a woman’s body at birth?

Crypto is a really really new market —- expect exchanges to go down, have flash crashes, be complicit in manipulation, have terrible customer services, and maybe even lose customer funds.

I’m guessing no fiat to crypto or vice versa; 1. That’s a taxable event. 2. Wouldn’t that lead to more financial scrutiny?

Or presumably an attacker could just slightly modify the image, and trick whatever CNN Facebook is trying to use into thinking it's not the same photo.

That makes no sense; if institutional money were to come into cryptocurrency (that is, fiat to crypto) -- which is a taxable event -- why would they be going into USDT when the main goal of USDT is to be stable? Essentially, that means peop

This wouldn't be the first case that Bitcoin's market volume has been artificially inflated (i.e. Mt. Gox), but doesn't Tether only have a $700MM market cap and $900MM 24H volume? How is that able to affect Bitcoin with its $

I'd have to argue it's because Bitcoin went net-positive after the BCH fork -- that shows a bit of resilience and probably would inspire false confidence in speculators.

I don’t think smartphones are the main issue here — problem is people can’t delay gratification. I’m sure if we ran the Marshmellow experiment again, a higher proportion of people won’t be able to wait. Among my peers, I’m noticing an inabi

Two problems I see with Amazon is: 1. The search engine is pretty bad. Anecdotal example was when I search for a eye mask: there were two different categories — eyes masks and eyes masks / face pillows. Both gave me the same products,

What’s wrong with Facebook? I personally don’t think of social networks as malevolent — in the end they’re just tools. The real issue in my opinion is the type of content that is peddled to me.

+1 Reddit is a pretty good source of quality reviews for products ranging from niche (mechanical keyboards) to mainstream (MacBooks).

I've always heard it is the younger scientists and mathematicians who make the groundbreaking discoveries / innovative breakthroughs -- but on the shoulders of giants indeed.

Decentralization only works when everyone is in accordance with the mission and with the implementation. Bitcoin community is together in the former, divided in the latter.

I think it’s referring to how a lot of Chinese apps have micro transactions / are essentially payment channels with incentives built in or games built on top.

Contrast that with the fact that the half-life of S&P 500 companies has shortened — I don’t think web monopolies are here to stay. Only thing holding those trio up is a self sustaining loop of VC money and ad revenue.

I would say Snapchat is more similar to Twitter than it is to Google or to Facebook. Question is, what is there to incentivize a user to stay on the platform for a couple extra of minutes? I personally have no clue why Snapchat the company

> Tuition for a halfway decent school now frequently surpasses $50,000 a year. Where is the source for this statistic? The only universities which I know to charge that high are small private liberal arts colleges or the Ivies.

The current belief is a monetarist one: that more money in the economy, up to a certain degree, can lead to greater economic growth. Hence, why low amount of inflation is considered a good thing, and sometimes used to measure the health of
