Without shutting down it wouldn't be amortized. You'd effectively have millions of additional deaths from lack of hospital capacity, more than doubling the yearly death rate. And additionally you'd have millions of more peopl

You've entirely missed the point. No one is arguing that Bitcoin isn't deflationary.

Bitcoin is part of the same problem we have with other asset classes like real property. The biggest challenge for the next decade will be mitigating stagnation.

Or the fact that just holding capital has better returns than most any other economic activity. That's a recipe for extreme income disparity. It appears our current government is handing out billions in "relief" to churches

0.65% IFR as of the latest CDC estimates (July 10)[1] We had fewer people in 1918 so this would still mean millions of deaths if we let this run it's course without mitigation. My other concern is whether this virus will have adverse e

I would add, the first people to make use of the land. And just for some additional context, nearly all Native North Americans share the same ancestral DNA.

I remember in the 80's and early 90's there used to be a great shareware ecosystem with computer games. I'd really like to be able to play the game before deciding to spend $100 on it. As it is there are some games I buy that

I had the same issue and resolved it by buying a USB extending cable and attaching an external Bluetooth transmitter closer to the ceiling. It's not pretty but it works.

I'm with you. In the nascent days of the internet none of these media businesses were around. And it was good - great even. If we had an issue, we'd solve it with technology and not by throwing money at a centralized corporation.

A similar argument I've heard before used states rights as a defense. You might have said if states were forbidden from holding slaves then that "exception" could be used to ban absolutely anything.

One way would be to have a monthly payment similar to Trump's $1200 [stimulus check] every month. The government can later recoup that through more equitable tax policies on the ultra wealthy and massive corporations. This has been pro

The safest possible solution would be for the super wealthy pay to keep the population fed and housed while we wait for a vaccine or improved treatments. Otherwise, the virus will continue to propagate, the poor will have to risk their live

Yeah. I think I could get into something like this that I can have playing in the background that I may or may not be giving my full attention to but that is technical enough so that I stay focused and in a learning/working mood.

My theory is that it may not be the heat exactly, but the way in which heat rises that may cause the viral particles to disperse away from people.

For posterity, the bad-faith in the original comment is based on the fact that the poster states that tagging something as disputed is itself arbitration. But the act of tagging a tweet as "disputed" is a purposeful deference of a

It's important context to note that Trump's tweets are the most widely publicized. As such it should be self evident as to why they would focus their limited resources to policing tweets such as his.

To be fair the original comment (which is top comment at the time of this writing) is not making a good faith argument.

Strikes can also have the opposite effect; like Bacon's rebellion which ushered in an era of racial tensions that are felt to this day [1]. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacon%27s_Rebellion
