Bitcoin has survived everything that has been thrown at it. Nothing has stopped the damn thing. It's always there. It's one of those things that just keeps on existing, like gold. It doesn't care what you think. It doesn&#x27

The title is linkbait-ish and the author is ideological, but the book reviewed in the OP, "The Capital Order: How Economists Invented Austerity and Paved the Way to Fascism," by Clara Mattei, is truly worth a read. Recommended b

The nascent red line on the left side of the plot is both shocking and depressing. Sigh. :-(

If the figure is accurate, each active user is valued at $32 million, in case you're wondering. That looks... unsustainable.

Depends on the market and the product. The best way, in my view, is through product innovation by ambitious entrepreneurs who come up with a better solution. Instead of trying to making the equivalent of a faster horse carriage at cheaper

I started reading this and had to stop because it made me feel that a lot of lawyers are about to have a field day debating and agreeing on complicated regulations for yet another thing they do not fully understand. Sigh.

Thanks. I don't know either. You may be right: Maybe it's both true and a PR campaign.

Thanks for sharing this info. I posted the OP, and didn't know anything about the author until now. A friend shared the link with me, and on a first pass it seemed accurate, so I posted it here. It stills looks accurate to me. No matte

See also the comedy "Bowfinger" with Steve Martin and Eddie Murphy. Martin, the writer, changed the name of the cult in the script from "Scientology" to "Mind-Head" to avoid legal action, but the script depicts

What is this clickbait doing on HN? The OP is about an accident involving a pretty dumb factory-floor machine a few years ago. The use of the word "attack" is very disingenous.

The OP is infected with what I call the "doom-and-gloom mind-virus." Like all mind-viruses, this one too prevents those infected from seeing reality as it truly is, as complex as it is. I routinely come across people who believe &

Evidently the OP isn't about Tesla, because if it had been, the headline would have mentioned it -- you know, to get more clicks. So, which EV brand are we talking about here? Hyundai's IONIQ, in case you're wondering.

Thank you for the link to that short video. I watched it. Reading between the lines, my take-away is: Both shipping times and costs are rising.

This is incredibly sad, and also very disappointing. Whatever we've been doing to solve the shortage of low-income housing in the US is not working . At all. We must try different approaches, even if they ruffle a lot of feathers.
