Pretty sure facebook coin is a stable coin. You cant make money trading it. You can only make money by using it for trading.

Yes but it can still be useful. Facebook is basically planning to compete directly with amazon in ecommerce space. In the future, you won't even have to leave facebook to buy something. The merchant will be able to process orders direc

Bingo. I completely agree. Yes, it is kind of a hassle to have FB using this globalcoin rather than just use a standard decentralized crypto but it is a start at least.

One potential reason is you can get the token listed on a cryptocurrency exchange but other than that. I do not know. If you use cyrptocurrency you are almost always better off with a decentralized crypto.

The academics putting stuff on youtube is almost laughable. It really exposes their flaws outright. Their lectures are boring and dull. Heck, it even shows how poorly some of these people are at teaching. Sure, we get it, you have a PHD in

Add basic web design to the list. I'm sorry but it is 2019, stop creating websites that look like they're designed in 1995. It isn't cool. If you have limited web skills, at least use wordpress with a template so the website

The downside to these rulings is that it has the potential to cause unemployment for these gig workers. As the saying goes, the least exploited people by employers are the unemployed. It is like in American Samoa when the federal minimum wa

I had a serious problem with bots spamming my forum. I implemented all the usual captchas but none of it worked. What I found interesting was that I was able to defeat the bots simply by "tricking" them. I kept the old forum up bu

Also when stacked next to a processed beef patty, Beyond Meat patties are by far healthier without a doubt.

Makes a lot of sense now. Read the comments in that twitter thread. There are people there who think a beef patty isn't considered a "processed food". Wow, I just don't know what to say. Also you can kinda tell people co

Laser might cause a fire which is why they don't use it. I think best method is to simply mimic the human hand motion. You grab the berry but you put your two fingers over the stem and then pull down on the berry until the stem disconn

Same here but now amazon has so many of these knockoff type Chinese products that you don't even know what to pick. Most of it ends up being of questionable quality as well.

Something like 70% of the us economy is entirely driven by consumer spending....the acquisition of more and more trinkets. If people reduced their consumption then the USA would immediately go into a recession. That would be a serious probl

You can have a certain amount of stuff but don't let it get excessive. I used to have boxes and boxes full of items that weren't even organized. Like literally....I knew I had that one item...but good luck finding it in the mounta

Completely agree, I am the same way. It is well worth it to live a minimalist lifestyle. I also threw out boxes and boxes of worthless junk recently - thousands of baseball cards, beanie babies, old broken items, obsolete gadgets (cd player

and don't forget ebay....which probably beats most everyone's prices by far. If you don't mind the extra few days waiting for shipping then that is by far your best bet. Also if you aren't afraid of buying second hand th

People often underrate the state schools. I went to one as well for accounting. When I graduated I got a job at a big 4 accounting firm and was working with people who went to USC for their undergrad. We were making the same amount of money

The big problem here is that people create accounts on multiple sites and then reuse the username/passwords on many sites. Then, one of the sites gets hacked, the database gets leaked with unencrypted passwords. Eventually this databas

Most of those "double-irish" tax tricks are actually illegal tax evasion. The IRS has recently been auditing these companies and hitting them hard with back taxes. The transfer pricing rules clearly state that the transfer pricing

Yup. Corporate/business taxes to begin with are not so smart because because businesses can basically incorporate in any jurisdiction for reduced or 0% tax rates. Many countries have "free trade zones" with 0% business taxes.

The problem is people don't know what will offend you so they play the safe route of avoiding all contact. No discussions means no risk of lawsuit, accusations etc. I used to work at a construction company where the owner was paranoid

That's not really a solution. The problem with nuclear is the risk of a meltdown and risk of radioactive release. Both risks must absolutely be reduced to 0% chance of occurring. In other words, reactors need to be created such that it
