I'm not sure I'd agree with that. For instance, I think the Nashville deal is fantastic for my city/state. we are getting 20% of the jobs (5k vs 25k) for "only" about 100 million compared to several billion from NY

Any chance we can get inbox “relaunched” instead of shut down? It’s miles better than gmail and my favorite google product by far. That they are killing it is absolutely insane.

but, but, the range :-( It's actually probably fine for most people, but I have a long commute and it wouldn't cut it for me sadly.

why are we counting hybrids? I'd really like an all electric car, but right I literally only have 2 options right now because i have a long commute. Tesla or Bolt. Nothing else has long enough range for me to get to work and back with

While I agree we should have some taxes, for some of these things, I think the above list could be paid for with far less than what we currently spend. Plenty of waste. Also, for example, we could likely get away with spending a bit less on

Those same gerrymandered districts and electoral college elected Democrat Congresses and a Democrat president for the last 8 years. To suggest that it's completely rigged when they lose the following election is absurd. This coming fro

That sounds nice. I pay $75 a month for 10/1. LTE is higher speed, but significantly more expensive because of data caps.

Alternately, how about the US not have absurd laws taxing money made in other countries? This is not a normal thing and most countries don't work this way. If we had sane tax laws, Apple (and ever other multi-national company that work

The obligation to the country is to follow the law and pay the taxes the law requires. which they do. Do you avoid taking deductions and send the IRS more than is required each year? Why, just because Apple makes a lot of money, do we expec

No, they pay exactly what they owe. It is in fact their job to follow the law and find ways to pay as little taxes as possible under the law, which is what they do.

In their defense, it was very nearly doomed for 10-15 of those years :-P But I agree, anyone who has said this since 2007 clearly isn't paying attention. Almost all the people with iPhones are going to keep buying a new iPhone every 2

i'm not sure robot soldier is scarier than nukes. generally speaking, if they are just single task robots performing functions in dangerous situations, that seems like an improvement to risking human lives.

What you propose is not in fact unethical in any way. They offered a good or service for money without gouging and not during a disaster. you aren't getting nothing out of the deal, you got a place to live for decades out of the deal.

Considering the fix is simply re-compiling, I don't think this is the end of the world. There aren't THAT many apps that are both still very good, and haven't been updated in YEARS. Yes there are some, but not that many.

The basic problem with welfare as it currently exists, is that it actually provides disincentives to working. If you start working they take away similar amounts of welfare. You'd have to get a job that is way more than the welfare for

If we somehow get to a world without computers and electricity, I doubt gold has much value either. Water and bread though, those will be valuable.

I'm not sure gold has been stable recently. it has regularly had 30-50% swings up and down over the last 10 years. recently well off it's highs.

No he didn't. He said that one group of people had less desire to work there, and trying for 50/50 might not make sense. I went to a relatively small school, but there were 0 women who majored in computer science in the 4 years I

He didn't though. He didn't say that at all. He simply said that LESS women are interested in this field than men. He didn't say NO women were qualified, or anything close to it. He said aiming for 50/50 might not be the

Technically it isn't yet. It is still inflationary for the next 100 years or so. It is currently making less and less over time, but it is in fact still making more than there are now. Eventually it will be deflationary though.

Not really. It's 1 mining pool with maybe 1-2% of the total hash rate of bitcoin. I'm not sure it has significant community following or backing. I suspect the majority of the community would have preferred not to have the confusi

it's not a spin off though. nothing is leaving btc. no value is going away. someone else just created something out of thin air. also, bch was never a part of btc. it's simply something new that is using the past history of btc as

It's not that either though. if AWS left amazon that would be value leaving amazon stock and going to the new aws stock. in this case there is no value leaving bitcoin. bitcoin is still the same. someone just decided to start a new coi
