Why downvote this comment? It's additive to the conversation... Why make it political when the comment is perfectly fine, stating another point of view?

So USA uses 20m barrels per day and the SPR holds 700m at it's peak, or just over a month of reserves. On the other hand barrel production has tripled to 15m barrels per day from 20 years ago. The headline is a bit sensationalist...

48kWh per person per day? That seems like a huge amount. I live in an a place where we have to run the AC almost all day and we use less than this along with all the other electric appliances.

My cynical point of view: if you try to replicate the benefits of a network with technology, social media, etc... the benefits of such a network quickly become overwhelmed by volume and the quality degrades.

I am providing additional context to the comment I replied to above. The comment points out that in the hours after the event there was discussion on the fark forum regarding Palestine. I'm merely stating a fact. No need for downvotes.

What sort of fiscal policies are you referring to? If you're referring to things like FINCEN and FATCA, I would argue these only strengthen the reliability and dependence on the USD abroad.

This is cool. But on the other hand, it's not the way the world was intended to be. If someone sends you a nasty message which they immediately delete: then isn't the world a better place? It's a somewhat philosophical and mo

Makes sense to be wary of older bills. Newer ones have many more security measures. Makes more sense when you're in Lebanon where there may not be as much scrutiny over the circulation as there would be in the USA. Sad for Lebanon whic

This past week there was a thunderstorm, fried my desktop. Didn't think that was still a thing. Reading some other comments about computer weirdness: my suggestion is get a good UPS or surge protector.

On the flip side the more you share the more people will opine on your decisions and cause you to second guess yourself. So sometimes more is less. As a founder you will make dozens of decisions every day... Many of them are coin flips whic

Blaming no friends on the car seems misplaced. NYC can also be a very lonely city, for example, and most people don't own a car there.

Donald Trump in the article's title seems a bit clickbaity. The story could stand on its own without focusing on Trump. The connection feels contrived. But interesting story nonetheless.
