Not too tough. I guess "in front of cinema" in both occasions.

I think these "I found the magic trick to beat the casino" websites and movies are funded by casinos.

And you don't even need to collaborate on that. Every person with enough statistical experience (and scientists have to have that) know by intuition that the odds are stacked against them in a casino. So it's really know fun if yo

I like this discussion from a "modern" perspective. I think there are three not-modern things and in my opinion it's quite clear how to handle them. 1) There's the thing that survived modern trends and still exists. That

> Capitalism is what you get when a) you have private property, b) freedom to trade property, goods, and services (labor). Everything you associate with capitalism is either a consequence of this or of not-capitalism market distortions (

With higher fractions of reserve the bank is also a more stable institution. So it may be just a symptom, not the source.

I'd also say that wealthier people want to live in suburbs, because there they can have a whole house for themselves while also maintaining some closeness to the city center. Only poor people or not-yet-settled foreigners really live i

Interesting point of view. I've never thought about it this way, that you would count the normal middle class companies as a legit element of capitalism as well and not just people who try to survive in a ridiculous system. Also great

Is it just me or is the obvious biggest problem in capitalism that you always need to have growth? It looks to me that in a naive approach I would like to build a constant profitable company that pays me rent like money that is predictable.

Of course it's possible. But in a game you don't want to create the most detailed real world simulator but an abstraction of the real world that feels real enough while at the same time is a lot easier to implement than the real t

For me it's really hard to say actually. On the one hand, as a person with relatively few assets I'd say it would be clearly in my advantage that there are no assets and all value needs to be produced by labor. But at the same tim

This is really what I feel to some degree. The place you live at matters a lot. But even with 32 I haven't found mine yet. I feel I'm much closer (not in kilometers but in closeness to how I want to be as a person) but still some

A good approach might be to just produce videos and integrate them with the blog until you hit something that looks like a system and relatively viral. Then with that content go to the ad networks.

If I buy a phone for ~60 bucks there is already Android on it. If I don't care why would I even install another one?

It seems to offer less than the average Android or iOS? Why should I use it?

The thing is that a leader without labor experience is not a leader but an a*hole idiot boss, and not idiot because people don't like him. More like idiot in the traditional sense. No, seriously. If you never went through producing any

Completely agree with what is stated. Jobs where you can learn something are much more valuable than jobs that pay well from the beginning. I'd like to add that at least for me it was confusing how many valuable skills I need before I

of course tv ads become more profitable with more of the proactive, thinking populace moving to more modern ways to consume like Netflix or Amazon. What's left is more and more the passive people that are more easily influenced by sugg

while I agree with most points I don't see what new value this blog article provides. There is no indepth analysis, only opinion. And not even new ideas. This is exactly what we criticise about most blockchain lovers.

well all my POIs are in gmaps and I have the app installed everywhere. No idea why I wouldn't want them to stay at the top. Push them please, so they improve their software, but winning they should.

do you have a resource (blog, youtube video, etc) where one can get a quick overview of Pokemon Go? When I played it there was not much you could do, so I dropped it completely. I may still have the app installed though.
