How could they roll out this marvelous new idea so quickly. Uber was genius to think of this radical concept, "splitting a cab," there is no way Lyft could come up with it so quickly on their own.

Libertarians view of government is, 'I want to be allowed to do whatever I want while everyone else is restricted to doing what I want them to do.' It's a dumb ideology that falls apart with literally any amount of thought.

I'll agree mission critical software exists. I however imagine there are far more engineering projects across the planets whose failure result in mass casualties than software. There is a reason actual engineers are legally liable for

You're dumb. Please read an actual book on economics not associated with Mises or his filth.

Their early versions looked closer to a blackberry. The general Jobs assertion is that Google switched to full touch screen after seeing the prototypes.

Theory is dumb when all empirical data disagrees with it. Good thing the Austrian's figured this problem out by ignoring data. It's the true hacker's way.

Inflation isn't bad and the only people that think it is are goldbugs with no understanding of economics. Asset backed currency have had MANY more crashes than fiat currencies. Bitcoin is a wonderful experiment in how long it will take

Congrats, you're a literal child! In turns out in-depth information takes time to properly explain and discuss. If you want a 10 minute summary that teaches you nothing, watch a TEDtalk. If you want to actually learn and understand an

'I'm not interested in this, i'm not on the west coast.' Y'all should learn where a majority of America's food comes from if you think this doesn't affect every American.

This is sort of a misunderstanding of evolution. It's not building to the most efficient or the greatest form of anything. It's spontaneous change that may or may not survive with no real reference to "the best."

So it's exactly like USD only: few accept it, there is a fee to transfer money in any reasonable amount of time, it isn't backed by any country, all of the exchanges are regularly stolen, it's a giant ponzi scheme, even the a

The SCOTUS generally doesn't comment on cases they don't accept. At best it's a comment on issues with the challenge's standing. This isn't a nefarious scheme. This is judicial normalcy.

It's 2013 and most people's data is in the cloud rather than on local devices? Just because something is capable of doing something doesn't mean it should. A Truck is capable of street racing, but you'd be better off in

Friedman is a hack ignored by anyone with half a brain. Same with Ayn Rand. They say incredible things, if you don't spend much time thinking about it.

This isn't news. It's been known for decades the government spied on the Civil Rights movement. Which is what makes the reaction to PRISM so laughable. The only reason anyone cares is it has started to affect white people the s

I didn't reply to your first point. I'm not saying touch screen games are the dominant type, and neither is the article. The article is asserting that's the way things are going unless we get a monumental shift in gaming, w
