The problem w Bitcoin as a global reserve currency is that it cannot be manipulated by the nation-state. Manipulation in this case is not a bad thing it is actually a safety feature for society against pure supply/demand dynamics. The

Averages don't matter. Most people walk away from car accidents unhurt. Still, seatbelts are mandatory. We choose a level of precautions (cost) according to the risk. Which is what bugs me about the non-mask crowd cause it costs NOTH

Unfortunately that $1 aid will cost $1000 when it hits the public market. It would be nice to see open source hardware in medical devices. And a health/safety approval of the DESIGN. At least devices that won't kill you if they

There is UNLIMITED money available to the government to fight this pandemic. The Fed simply prints the money, as they have, in the trillions of dollars since it began. Money is not the issue. The government has not made masks a priority.

Assange stating it didn't come from Russia is meaningless. He has no way of knowing if where he got them from was hired by Russia.

The extremely high failure rate indicates it is either a flawed concept entirely, or people are going about it completely the wrong way. If you had a computer that only booted, or a car that only started, 40% of the time - you wouldn't

The iPhone is a great product but the way it's financed is brilliant. I suspect not many people buy their new phone with a $1000 charge on their debit card and that new phones are always financed. I use a 6s, available used for $70 a

I don't see celebrity shows as attracting a big audience. I have to like the celebrity, to want to listen. They should try to break new music. Like The Weeknd will preview his new song/album LIVE here, before it goes on the stre

It's about expectations. Yes, 10-50 Mbps is pretty acceptable. Today. It won't be in 5-10 years. 5G will make 1000 Mbps at 1ms, pretty much the expectation, and the apps of tomorrow will need it. In 10 years people will be talk

Was puzzled by Gates' statement there. I didn't catch how the 'demon sperm doctors' video was related to encryption. Rather the very difficult and important issue, how do you stop someone with 80 million followers from s

Stock indexes over the long term are a function of Corporate profits of the large companies and the inflationary nature of the economy, especially over the last 30 years, the willingness of the Federal reserve to print money (create debt).

No disrespect to those challenged with protecting such a huge target, but why do admin tools even have these capabilities? I could see needing to disable a user account or change some attributes, but why would an admin ever need to tweet f

Been working on this off and on for the last 15 years. Pretty much ended up where I started. Except the newer JS syntax is nicer than in 2005. Control: controls.hello = e => e.innerHTML = `Hello ${e.getAtttribute('x-who&#x27

Also, what is the appropriate threshold where we call it mental illness. The article, Jenna's boyfriend cheated. She's seriously depressed. That ain't illness, it's normal. That doctor is a quack. I feel part of the prob

Just read that the payday loan default rate is 6% same as credit cards? Which is extraordinary. Wonder why a company wouldn’t offer to advance paychecks to workers, take a say 3% fee to pay 2 weeks early and pocket that fee.

The biggest incentive for fossil fuel generated electricity is 0.06-0.10 cents per Kwh fossil fuel generated electricity. Electricity is cheap. There's two ways to make a renewables economy, it's not complicated. The quick way, 2

The idea of govt just taxing all and funding the services has already been proven out in the US. Medicare. I don't think the issue is that these things won't scale. BUT, Medicare comes with price controls. Free tuition, free heal

People attend college and spend enormous money & time with no guarantees. The unpaid time spent is not throwaway. If I was 19 today - and wanted to code for the most $$$ possible. I wouldn't be in college. I'd be building up s

Not a bad metric. Of course there's alot of ways to slice it, but if you compare the millionaire landlord of say low income housing vs the owner of high income housing - same income - people do look down on the 'slum lord'.

Alex Jones is a great example. Who let's Jones rave on for 3 hours? No one. Broadcasters are not going to want to be associated with him. Rogan just lets him go. I disagree with 95% of what Jones says but I'm not going to take any

Stern had bonuses to grow the sirius audience if I remember correctly. Amazing considering Sirius had like 600k subscribers at the time! Stern was at his height in 2001-2004 I think was peaking at 25m listeners in the mornings on terrestria
