They just take up more loans to cover their debts. That works while interest rates are zero or lower. Hyperinflation here we come.

Tesla has over promised and under delivered so far. Comma has done the opposite. The Tesla beta software seems to be rapidly improving, so I've got my fingers crossed that Tesla pulls through in the end and manages to deliver something

Small incremental changes based on almost universal consensus, yes. Not the same as political change. The big block size guys failed to make a big politically charged change. Bitcoin has shown its resistance to political change very clearly

The law changes dramatically every time there is a new government. The bitcoin protocol stays the same.

Diamond hands are for holding perpetual assets not expiring options. For reasons I explained above.

I've been hearing this sentiment ever since I heard about Bitcoin in 2011. Bitcoin has been through many huge crashes since, but the long term trend just keeps going up and up. So far the only fools are the one's that didn't

In trading you need a catalyst. A reason for why something will happen in a certain time frame. That's the basic premise for how trading works. If you don't have a catalyst then you are just blindly gambling or throwing your money

Put options have a time limit. So being early means you loose the money you used to buy the put. So yeah it is the same thing. And Michael Burry was a lucky mother effer that he managed to keep his put on all the way until it finally happen

You're relying on a nation state to behave in a certain way. This never works out in the long term. The winds of politics change on a whim. That's just history for you. With Bitcoin you instead rely on the intrinsic properties of

Great story. I think it is about a different problem that what the post is about though. The post is about yagni and not adding unneeded configuration and complexity, and having an opinionated design instead. I think you story is more about

Doge is a joke that you can own, just like a Weird Al Yankovic CD. It has the same value.

I'd love to see a benchmark between using this and a natively compiled sqlite. Just to see how much performance is lost to this convenience, so I can judge if it would be worth it in a concrete project for me.

The first half of that list were just the best options available at the time (in any practical sense). After that you start listing things that aren't nearly universal.

I've downvoted your answer here as I think it is a ungenerous interpretation of the post you replied to. It's just as likely that OP did already know that what you are insisting on is not relevant to their use case. That might be

Risk is quantifiable. It's not a boolean. You are less of a risk for spreading covid19 when you are vaccinated for it.

I believe that Cathie Woods, who is managing one of the most successful ETF funds ever, has some of the most insightful things to say on this topic. Here's her latest video where she explains her current views: https://www.y

It's an attempt to paint an image of himself as the victim that you should feel sorry for. I feel manipulated when reading it.

That does sound like React is doing a lot of work to work around some issue. As OP said: "This is an example of React doing too much."

Repeatedly insisting on saying that your colleagues are enabling genocide... how could anyone think this is conductive to a good working relationship with you colleagues?

Are you trying to describe a panic such as a run on a bank? Because that only makes sense with fractional reserves. Bitcoin has a known and fixed supply with no fractional reserves. There have already been three separate huge "panics&q

Nothing stopping it from going right back up again like it always does. The long term trend is up and to the right like nothing else. Buy the dip. Bitcoin is a black hole that swallows every other asset, because it is a better store of valu

The supply of Beanie Babies isn't guaranteed to be limited. You are trusting the behavior of one company. The demand of Bitcoin has only ever increased in the long term. It has already gone further up after three huge temporary bubbles

How does gold store any value? It's not because you can extract any value from gold or because it is useful for some industrial purpose. That's only a minor part of it. That's not why people in general covet it. People value
