But it wont last a lifetime. Buying a specific game for its returns would have a serious discount compared to almost any conventional asset. And "time" is work. Building a house also requires just some materials and some time :). Even real

It would take you well over a million in assets to generate 5000 dollars of passive income. And the higher the payout the less passive/safe it becomes (i.e., CD > Real state > businesses > web apps > ???)

I dont know how to make an index, and I dont trust Indec or private offices. Thats why I refute the claim that "now we have an inflation index" by the economist. We dont. Also, the economist had published an article called Gaucho "Blues" a

Thats anecdotical evidence. 10% inflation can also be felt on a supermarket. Private inflation offices also gain money by providing high numbers, as they tell what other people want to hear. The reality is that the Central bank prints money

I also believe Bitcoin is a good opportunity for Argentinians. BEcause of the difference between credit card dollars (about 6.20 pesos) and black market dollars ( 9 pesos today, 10 pesos last week) you could buy bitcoins, sell it for dollar

This isnt actually true. Unfortunatenly, private inflation offices dont have neither the manpower or the expertise to produce statistics as the official Indec organisation, so their numbers are also hard to trust. More important than this,

Well, that would require at least one suicide bomber. Its a legitimate concern, you wouldnt want a car getting hacked and doing all kinds of stuff, like deliberately causing an accident.

If someone put a gun factory in their backyard and starting distributing guns, he has to be found liable. Why should that be different for a plastic gun? My concern is that a printed gun is disposable and untraceable. Without ballistics, it

But there is a record. A printed 3D gun has no serial number or identification. Someone gets shot and killed with one, and there is no trace.

Agree, Futurama's last season was quite unentertaining. Not as funny, and too focused on the emotional stuff, which was more effective being spaced out. I think that the 'Fausto' episode, finale of the S05, was by far the best ending Futura

I didnt say there was inflation, its just one of those things that can make people drop the US if it happened. US debt cannot increase indefinitely without consequence, and in a time of desperate need (such as the 2008 bailouts) it has to p

Those are never "apprehended" because they are not silly. In argentina, the "news" that Maradona was dead flew around several times, creating distraction in key days of political trials. A city-wide shutdown is an opportunity for a vast num

Although one point or another in the post is disagreeable, there is something perverse is such a "shutdown" reaction. The reality is that all situations create precedent, which mean that a party with interest in shutting a city down only ne

Uhm. Bitcoin is still worth 150% what it was worth one year ago. Thats like saying the lottery winner didnt win because he had to pay taxes for it.

Way too speculative for new users. I think its the players themselves. This might not be that known but Bitcoin has a stockmarcket with bonds and stock. For the volume of the coin, a significant part of the users of the coin are people trad

Im super surprised at this and i certainly dont understand it. True, Bitcoin now has a surge of popularity because several retailers with pull are using it and it got more news. Then it spiked the price, getting more attention. But the rise

This is not a performance improvement, its an arquitectural change that has to be accounted for when using Unicorn. Unicorn is NOT for slow requests, as their own documentation explains. ( http://unicorn.bogomips.org/ ) On Kaya.gs to handle

When i started Kaya.gs i drove away from Rails by a similar logic. Rails is quite heavy and abstracts a lot of what is going on, and comes bundled with many things you may not use. I used Cuba for Kaya and i can safely say I understand the

When i started Kaya.gs and even during it, i always wondered if games will arrive to the html environment at any time. Tetris is the most basic game and yet even in this (perfectly fine) example, its far for complete. It lacks sound and man

Punished code deserves to be shamed and be made an example of. Vigil should make an image with the deleted code, such as it cannot be copy pasted and has to be rewritten in shame. This idea seems actually quite awesome for a competition. It
