I think it's the polar opposite. We've created a problem for businesses and a great sitution (high pay, high job security) for developers. The developers don't really lose in this situation unless they are owning the business

??? Yeah if you average everyone together. You could say this about every fitness activity that exists. It doesn't mean you aren't going to see big differences in results when you test it which is why they do it.

We absolute have and use these things. This is why the US army makes you run a mile and counts your pull ups. These things are not measures of your "true physical fitness", they are just data points. But they have extremely high c

I'm not disagreeing at all. I'm just saying that isn't what IQ is. It correlates with all sorts of stuff and understanding those correlations is useful. But IQ isn't its correlations. I definitely believe those correlati

Absolutely no way this is paid "lobbying" to convince people that it's actually great for John Deere to have full control over and data on the tractors it sells.

It seems like there are ways he could have made that point besides obviously lying. I'm not really defending or attacking Bitcoin at all in my statement. Just simply pointing out that he isn't being honest here.

He really discredits himself by saying he wouldn't take a liquid asset at less than its mark to market value. I've got a bridge to sell you if you believe Buffett wouldn't take Billions in guaranteed gains.

So if the entire scheme is to hand out donated money why does it require a cryptocurrency? That sounds pretty much like what give directly already does. But unless there is some kind of trick played with the currency, you haven't creat

Sort of, but I was living in Asheville NC before this. It was absolutely much less expensive but it was still becoming legitimately expensive. No shortage of 1 and 2 million dollar houses. And that's Appalachia. I had looked at a farm

I make an amount of money that I could not have ever imagined making growing up. Multiples of what I thought my best case would be. I save almost every penny of that that doesn't go into housing or food. Over 70% marginal savings after

My guess on the economics of this are: 1)Take money from SF VCs for tax deductions and social cred. 2) Hand it out to create the appearance of growth and hopefully get the coin to have some value as you mention above 3) Quickly harvest the

I do not fundamentally understand this. They seem to just jump straight to the outcome: "Everyone get's a dollar a day" without worry about the details. It seems like the plan of this coin is to print 8 billion a day indefini

It's because the refi boom is done. Every time rates hit a new cycle low, people rush to refi and lock in that rate. On the way out of one of those cycles everyone's already locked into low rates. There's nothing left to refi
