The counter argument to this is that their representation is arguably higher now than any other time in history, so more representation (falsely) equates to less wealth by your supposition.

Likewise which one do you think they’ll trust if the blockchain disagrees with the paper trail? The paper trail of course, which makes putting this on blockchain worthless.

Maybe this tech is just naturally polarizing but this sounds really awful to me.

As much as I also don’t like the same, I do think it’s important and healthy for the browser ecosystem to have diversity.

It’s not really extinction that people worry about. It’s insolvency in virtually every social program the government runs. And it really doesn’t take much because those programs were created with very generous predictions in growth. For soc

You seem to be implying there's some kind of cheating happening in what is ultimately a business deal. I wouldn't buy a new TV with puke and diapers unless it was my business reselling the TV and disposing of the rest.

I actually don’t think it sucks for us. We’re better equipped to recycle or properly dispose of the waste. It will definitely cost more but I think it’s something that most people are willing to accept. Even now I’m hesitant to put things l

They don’t dump it there. People from Malaysia are buying it.

And it’s cheaper to dump it in the ocean than to dispose of it safely.

It works really well provided you enable iCloud and use safari as both desktop and mobile browser, which I think is probably a lot of people in the author’s orbit.

Kind of a fun “internet troll butterfly effect” thought experiment. However, using the same logic any small “flutter” in the other direction would be enough to cancel out the “real effects” and make them moot.

I’m skeptical that has any material impact on the elections. Why do I think so? Because you can ask someone who holds different opinion than you about those subjects and you’ll know exactly why they vote the way to they do. You may not agre

It feels like 2016 all over again, with (some) people desperate for an explanation for why things happened the way they did which doesn’t involve people holding ideological differences than what’s found among the elite.

Shhh, that kind of talk goes against the “market bad regulation good” thinking in vogue right now.

Global birth rate is declining almost across the board. It’s the lowest it’s been in the US in the last 30+ years with no signs of speeding up. Also be careful what you wish for. Some of our most important social programs (such as social se

It’s amazing to me the distinction the government is making here with Wikileaks. How many things related to the Russian probe were leaked last year? Wasn’t it one “bombshell” after another? No problems there even though that information tur

If they deceived themselves I would expect them to say that. If they are not deceived then I expect them to say something different.

This is such a silly study. What exactly were they trying to prove? Water == wet? Wealth is power, power gets to your head.

I (the GP) actually agree with you. The point in making my distinction wasn't that I think one is criminal and one is not. I think they're both criminal, however there's clearly a political angle being played in both.

It’s amazing to me that leaking the tax return data for a sitting president is “journalism”, even without any evidence of a crime. Yet Wikileaks is considered criminal for exposing actual crimes to the US public?

They were promised something by the city that couldn’t be delivered to them. There’s no other way out. Is there a difference in Silicon Valley workers being promised future stock if they just forgo their paycheck for a little while longer?
