The more money people throw at crypto the more risk they are taking. It’s actually the most equitable investment I know, open to almost anyone, and same return rates regardless of amount invested.

Sources I’ve seen say Tether has been completely un-audited for years and only a fool will think they’ll keep collateral dollars for their Ponzi scheme.

Work proof does NOT waste energy. Get your facts together. The more energy is in Bitcoin, the stronger is its guarantee of a non-tamperable ledger. Even as it currently stands, China can change the network (I assume). Coordination is not fr

Most people don’t have that much empathy. Most of them don’t even want it. (I certainly don’t want it.) Your solution is basically adding terms for other people to everyone’s utility function. It would require a super-Orwellian effort to pu

Everyone knows different beliefs happen because of mistakes, conflicted interests, and that differing models can still embody one truth (E.g., Newtonian physics vs relativistic), with different tradeoffs. Also, mistakes happen in even recog

Opportunities exist everywhere, but your argument is not cohesive and it’s insulting; Immigrants don’t see the value proposition of the USA as no debts and a blank slate. In fact, a lot of them lose out because their previous achievements a

The alternative is that these people won’t have Internet access. Poor people have difficulties procuring even food, not to mention internet. Of course, as the economical conditions improve, the tradeoffs change and net neutrality becomes wo

As an Iranian, I did not have problems with CAPTCHAs being “American.” Perhaps rural people might have trouble with them, but I don’t think it’s a bottleneck. Adding an example picture of what is desired will help everyone though (Cloudflar

The touchbar can be pretty good if you reprogram it, using, e.g., Bettertouchtool. I now put use it as a combination of information dashboard and system-level control switches (audio volume, internet proxy, my own low-power mode, ...). BTT’

I suspect teachers are the bottleneck. They hardly have any useful skills (except keeping children in line), so they can only teach memorization which is easy to teach/grade.

> you're being kept out of the house so that both your parents can go back to jobs they don't like. I was left home alone from, like, 4 years old? I definitely preferred that to going to school.

Perhaps that’s because Twitter people are less well-versed in technology and its business models? This move is clearly moving towards a low local maximum.

The choices are extremely limited if you want a small handset. I don’t even know if there is a Google phone as small as iPhone minis.

There are lots of factors in choosing between Android and iOS. Besides, two choices don’t make a competitive market.

Economic efficiency has nothing to do with how the surplus is divided between parties. Powerful entities such as corporations can easily get most of the surplus their employees produce, and the market will not correct this. (I.e., you have

The touchbar is pretty great if you program it yourself using, e.g., BetterTouchTool. I especially love the clipboard widget - works fantastic with VIM/EVIL.

Who knows, they might continue to offer an Intel MBP for years to come, or even add Windows ARM support if it commands enough demand. The other manufacturers have no mote here.

Every single human being can be assumed to think they fall in the reasonable bunch. This is a combination of hardwired bootstrapping (seems unavoidable), self-serving biases, and the fact that most mistakes won’t be recognized even in hinds

How are they “verifiable” falsehoods? E.g., conspiracy theories are famous for being almost always unfalsifiable. These views usually are a mix of low prior hypotheses, politically incorrect semi-truths, marketing propaganda (with few empir
