Very few old residential buildings in NYC are converted into hotels, in fact it seems more common for old hotels to be converted partially or entirely into residential space. (Hotel Chelsea, The Plaza, etc) Also at least in NYC, not very ma

Do any of those numbers break out people with technical training vs those who's total education has ended at high school? How do you propose we fix things that break and build new things without any trade jobs? Given the prices that pl

So if you go and say you are seizing, they will just stabilize you till you are done seizing then kick you out? Or at that point they will attempt to collect for the emergency care and prohibit further care until you can prove you can pay f

How does a leaked slide of their desktop roadmap indicate that they will only make APUs now? Wouldn't it be likely that they still make server processors? I wouldn't be surprised if the ultra high end desktop cpu market isn't

How do they take a position in BTC? Or is it just a casino? i.e. if I put 50K into an account there and used it to buy $250K of BTC, that should have a pretty drastic impact on the market looking at mt gox's order books, does that actu

I would guess because coinbase doesn't allow you to keep a USD balance on their servers, its either pulling out of your bank account or pushing into your bank account. Both have pretty big delays if you are trying to day trade in the U

Is it possible to spin up a few thousand of those on DO? Sure most people use AWS as a glorified VPS provider, and for that it is rather expensive. The fact that DO is only 2 years old actually scares me more since they probably haven'

Are there explicit laws against bitcoin? It seems unlikely that the OCC is going to just seize a bank when its following all applicable laws and compliance mechanisms. Some banks (depending on the location and size) keep foreign currency on
