Take responsibility for your choices and your votes. You are not helpless. Blaming Trump’s election (which this article insuates by equating his victory with the failure of democracy) on social media is incredibly disingenuous. Americans ar

Facebook does not have the power to force people to sell to them. They do not have the power to force people to use Facebook. That's a fact. It's a free website, that people use of their own accord, at their own discretion. Just l

People aren’t talking about money itself, they’re talking about hedge funds and prop shops and traders, which didn’t exist prior to the 70s and even Wall Street traders weren’t trading pure securities until the early 1900s (it was slaves an

Supermarkets were full of food and lights were on before hedge funds and prop shops existed. The first supermarkets weren’t even financed by wall street but a real estate tycoon with his own money. Wall Street is a welfare program for trad

It is fraud and a blatant lie for Christopher Woodrow to claim “Investors will benefit as the tokens, which can be traded in the secondary market, would appreciate based on the success of the films” That is a straight up lie. Token value

Investors have lost the plot. Uber is nothing more than a taxi company using VC capital to undercut competitors. There are no self driving cars. That’s just a story to get money and make the brand bigger than its product. Come back to reali

What a bunch of self selected myths. Jeff Bezos isn’t a sociopath and he isn’t Superman, he’s a clueless fucking human being like the rest of us. He’s not special, he hasn’t “figured it all out” and he doesn’t have some secret others lack.

XML is not just a transport encoding like JSON. Apples to oranges. They are not comparable. It’s like comparing HTML or CSS with JSON. What’s he equivalent of XPath in JSON? There isn’t! They aren’t remotely solutions to the same thing.

XML is not a transport encoding like JSON. It is a hypermedia format that supports metadata. Even something as simple as an author attribute on a quote requires a standard on top of JSON. “I can’t parse without programming” is a terrible re

That is not cessation of drug use but a program to sustain drug addiction safely. Clearly that’s great at reducing harm from dirty needles, but not great at cessation of addiction. I’m suspect of your claim that the majority of addicts seek

And if a drug addict doesn't want treatment? The elephant in the room is forced intervention requires a form of imprisonment.

What’s clear from all these comments is that economic theory is bankrupt and impotent at explaining or predicting anything. It’s quite odd constantly hearing why bitcoin can’t work or whether it can be labeled a currency according to academ

"Learn Liberty" is an ideologically driven organization whose goal is to promote pro-corporate policies by masking them in radical free market libertarian rhetoric. It's propaganda.

If the smartphone boom was “2007-2016” it’s premature to claim nothing is next. It’s too soon to say “there is no such revolution en route”, when we had one practically yesterday!

Because management is ignorant of technical costs. At the end of the day, the person who cuts checks says “I want rounded corners with drop shadows, and I want them pink and sparkly.” For example, we already have standard input controls but

Because like smoking it’s obviously unnatural to eat like crap and sit on the computer/couch/car all day. If not obvious then not surprising. Obesity is the epitome and result ohf an unhealthy lifestyle of no exercise and eating j

Not a single study or piece of research referenced by the article. "Some professor with a book says..." is not very convincing. This is not a news article, and is not journalism. This is an advertisement for a book.

Processing inputs is not the whole of economic calculation. Me and you may value things differently – that's the problem. In other words, utility is unobservable a priori, as are my economic preferences.

Lines of communication and chain of command are more important than tools. The only person who should need to know what you're doing is who you report to. And so on all the way to the top. Trello, jira, aha, whatever won't help if

Terrible article. So many suckers in this mania. 99% of people writing about, trading with, and investing in cryptocurrencies don't know how blockchain or bitcoin even works. It's worse than 1999. The hype and ignorance is astou

It's a myth that heroin and opiate addiction are the result of pain killer prescriptions: "According to the large, annually repeated and representative National Survey on Drug Use and Health, 75 percent of all opioid misuse starts
