   This is how the system works. There's a limit to that practice (the money multiplier), which is one of the reasons why banks need to rotate money as you said (another being cross-bank transfers). See this link: https://en.wi

   Shortest possible answer: debt is money. Or you could say it's dual to money - creating debt creates money, paying debt destroys money. There's literally less money in the world when you make your mortgage payment (bank just sends

   It was the same with Trump. I'm pretty sure the outrage directed at him (even though much more justified) was a big reason for his victory.

   I think it is a matter of target metric. You can optimize just for click-through/watch time (short term reward), but you can also target a composite of that and quality/trustworthiness (long term reward). YouTube seems to mostly o

   I just became a recurring monthly donor because of this. It's a good way of raising awareness and making others contribute to the cause. You're free to pass on this "deal". Also, what makes you think that the anonymous d

   Yeah, especially because tax avoidance is an insanely difficult problem to fight once it gets big enough. I mean it's impossible to prosecute at once even 10% of the country for not paying taxes. Imagine the US going through a Greece e

    Learned this the hard (but not too hard) way. Also I hold no grudge against Serbian people in general - had some great Serbian friends in the US, they made fantastic barbecue. I'd sooner blame the general state of the country.
