Stealth edit, the above post used to compare the author with Joseph Goebbels, now it makes a self-aware reference to "Godwin's law". Still a bad argument. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin%27s_law

Why not the US? Or Russia? It would be easy for a large state to dwarf the hash rate of the network if they wanted to sabotage it.

Ok. I gave mine, so what's you're theory on why post-automobile cities are so spread out?

Ok. But "the rich" have instituted the congestion tax without instituting any of those improvements to public transportation. Donald Trump is not taking a bus to Mar a Laggo. > it's about time they [cars?] divide the rich

This sounds wonderful. I would love to live somewhere like that. Cars suck to be around and having a massive boulevard all to yourself to walk down is a fantastic feeling. I'm not sure Tactical urbanism will be enough to overcome the p

a) Its too late at that point. Denver is a good example of a suburban car-based city that is pouring billions into pubic transportation that can never compete with cars. pick two random spots and compare the driving directions with public t

That's a good way of putting it. A lot of really smart people are held back by their inability to be pleasant enough to work with that people want to work with them, which is needed for teamwork, which is needed for large-scale project

The bird was not smarter than the navy pilot, the pilot of the other plane might be smarter than the navy pilot who looked at its exhaust in infrard and later said he though it was a space alien.
