I was using Google Maps the other day through Safari and got a pop up to download the app during the middle of the route and I could barely see the map. I nearly got in an accident trying to dismiss the pop up.

WeChat and Alipay yes, but cards and cryptocurrency?

Do you have a source on the bike stealing in China? I was in Shanghai and there were practically more bikes on the sidewalks than people, I don't think people even bother stealing bikes.

Are they really though? Violence, and the threat of it, is literally what keeps society together at all, and what enforces all of our laws. Kind of sad to read this thread and see everyone sitting on their high horse thinking they are amazi

They don't. This article is inaccurate. Ripple has gained along with the rest of the altcoin market. Has little or nothing to do with Coinbase.

Nobody actually thought they would actually add Ripple. And Ripple dipped with the rest of the altcoin market and has recovered along with it. Once again, bloomberg publishing clickbait in regards to crypto.

How could this possibly be true? Is nobody buying produce? How do you weigh your produce and find the proper product ID? More quickly than someone who does it for hours a day, every day?

Fault isn't a binary thing. It's the parent's fault for not raising their children better, it's the children's fault for not knowing better, it's the police's fault for shooting, it's everyone else&#x

At a certain level of complexity, it's easier to simply externalize costs than to improve the product. Especially when you have organizations as large as Google, it's hard for any single employee to make decisions in the best inte

Literally every investment is a "ponzi" or "pyramid" by your definition. If I invest in a company I can get a hell of a lot more shares for cheap now than when they IPO.

Not that hard. Assuming you are storing it in cold storage: 1) Send to GDAX 2) Sell on GDAX 3) Withdraw to Bank

Every company goes bankrupt eventually. The idea is to make money, no matter how you want to look at it.

Yes, but many believe Satoshi to be dead or to have lost the keys. I'm not arguing that the wealth distribution is good, I'm just saying it's a little ridiculous to assume that the choice was malicious.

Yes, but I think what parent was pointing out was that an honest network user has no reason to do so.

It seems to bizarre to me that of all the potential problems with AI, people seem to focus on employment. Like seriously, if we create AI good enough to displace a majority of humans from employment, I feel like we may have other things to

tbh, the smaller amount transacted, the less decentralization is necessary IMO. This is why people will tell you to use other, more centralized, less secure cryptos.

People who want a liquid USD tethered asset on many exchanges and aren't needlessly paranoid over absurd conspiracy theories that have yet to present a single ounce of real evidence.

This is indistinguishable... really? This is so obviously a scam it hurts. The first sentence doesn't even make sense, let alone have proper grammar.

Idealistic? Further erosion of our humanity for the sake of productivity and furthering of the capitalist machine sounds about as far away from idealism as you can get.

Large corporations introduce massive negative externalities (Walmart employees are on welfare, sugar industry hides and fakes scientific research, advertising). If you contribute to small, local businesses, it's very easy to hold them

I'm not sure what "hosting costs" encompasses. But maybe this includes analytics costs? I assume they have far more ML and data collection infrastructure than before.

I think the salary caps are for competitive parity, not for economic reasons. Don't watch European Football, but are the same teams good every year?
