Perhaps you could tell us which business ideas and scientific theories will be correct so none of us have to waste any money on ridiculous projects?

I'm not close enough to silicon valley to know, what I do know is the early internet felt very libertarian. I'd say it broadly changed in the past decade and especially so post 2015 say. If I had to guess, I'd say all the lib

Investors seem to pay large premiums for companies that have a certain quality of "we know what the future is and we're building it". All the other companies doing it are somewhat riding on Tesla's coattails. They think

That's ringing a bell, I feel like I once had that site in regular rotation with slashdot.

I think it's because many websites are incrementally built on. It's a case of tacking on this extra bit of complicated functionality vs rebuilding the entire site from scratch and migrating existing content to it in a new tool.

The moment you install any software on your PC you've essentially become exposed to the same risks. For the people who play the game, avoiding cheaters is a big deal. As you say, you have the right not to install or play the game, they

I see, so long as it's someone else's sacrifice, it's fine, they should do that.

They saved the world already. It's just not evenly distributed yet. It's a bit like me saying, "hey, you know climate change? that's an exceptional circumstance, well why don't you go live a hunter gather existence

It's pretty obvious at this point that bitcoin is digital gold. It's a precursor to something that is a real currency and the real currency probably can't exist without digital gold existing first.

If all you want to do is moan about rich people for any reason, legitimate or not, I'm sure it does.

by dageshi 5y ago
I'm not sure why you're conflating being rich with being a statesman? Getting rich doesn't necessarily mean you have the skills to be a good politician. Which it seems is what you expect these people to be?

Epic didn't fundamentally offer anything different from Steam, it's just games that would've otherwise been on Steam that epic bribed to be on epic. That from the outset annoyed a lot of people and the funny thing about fortn

I don't disagree, major developers won't use it any time soon. I expect smaller devs will see it as a way to monetise their games. Bear in mind there's a multitude of early access games, the PUBG's, the RUST's, the

Disclaimer: I've never owned or bought a crypto thing in my life. Most of the biggest games in the world run on selling skins, the natural evolution of that is going from a position where a game developer says you own that skin because

I suspect it'll be too late. There's enough money sloshing around inside the crypto ecosystem for someone to build a crypto friendly steam and I think there'll be demand for such a platform imminently. One big hit, one CSGO,

It seems like it would be borderline impossible politically to raise taxes at a time when inflation is high.

I think back when firefox was gaining popularity there wasn't really a public awareness for the need for a privacy focused browser. In other words, even fewer people than right now would've been interested in buying it because the

Many people would pay for firefox so long as it supports their pet features and they all have their own pet features. And it would still be less than they'd get from advertising.

They would never overcome the reputation damage from IE. I think they accepted that and switched to Chromium because it just makes maintaining the userbase they do have a lot easier.

This is probably running into a different issue, which is most people have a finite amount of programming (or intense concentration work) in them per day. For me that's 3-4 hours, for most creative people that number is pretty similar.

That's not an answer to the question. Where does the person who is responsible for the smooth running of the financial system put their money so they have no conflict of interest? Because otherwise it's easy to just cynically say

The issue is I suppose, what can a Fed chairman invest his/her personal money in that absolves him/her of a conflict of interest? The fed's policies affect every area of the financial system. Can't put it in a bank becau
