So many people here are acting like nothing happened to justify the existence of the TSA. Yet, there were two buildings destroyed in the one of the most iconic cities in the world, the pentagon was damaged, and the Whitehouse was almost als

I think you need to include speculators in your equation. If S is the number of bitcoins being horded, we would get (M - S)V = PQ. Since the perception seems to be shifting where more and more people believe that Q is going to continue to i

Articles such as these are very strange to me. There always is some unspoken nebulous assumptions which the author doesn't even bother to justify. What is the "better" that the author is referring to? She seems to think that it is better to

The US government doesn't usually directly attack something without putting up a straw man to blame first. Examples would be WMD's to masquerade the purpose of the invasion of Iraq, the drug war, terrorists, etc. I don't see any big media p

That is possible, but the problem is the time it takes to disseminate the knowledge of the crime is longer than the time to trade the bitcoins. So if the thief immediately exchanged them with some merchant right after the robbery, then some

It's kind of convenient that he didn't mention food stamps, section 8 (subsidized housing), and medicaid/medicare. All of which are on top of the $661 a month, and make it definitely livable.

I wonder if this could be used to create a 3D sculpture using semi-reflective film, which if you looked at from a certain angle with light coming from a certain angle, you could recreate the image.

I don't like the premise that happiness is based on what you have, and what you do with your time. It always seems to be the underlying assumption, and it drives people to be unhappy to always be striving for better conditions for themselve
