They had usb sticks full of data and games in Antartica in 2018, when the one scientist stabbed the other. The negative effects of isolation and lack of communication with a larger society are too complex to be solved with books or games.

It's so unlikely that they can repeat this. Telsa is supposedly one of the most valuable companies in the world, as measured by market cap. There's no way they're depending on pump and dump schemes to sustain their profitabil

As far as pump and dumps go, this would make a very tiny amount of money for a company of Tesla's market cap. In another post someone said they made $270MM from selling bitcoin in Q1. On a market cap of close to $590B. And they can onl

The pointless throwaway account is right. Even if the have-nots revolt, they will immediately go back to using some form of money to exchange goods with each other. We can debate how wealthy individuals should become or how high tax rates c

over 100,000 Toyota Prius were sold in 2016. Tesla is likely to be the top company in the electric vehicle space for quite some time. but to act like they invented the market and no one else was working on it is just silly. it's like s

lol no, I wish. Good luck getting into any of the magazines mentioned in the grandparent post. The relative quality is debatable, but what you see is genuinely the best of thousands of submissions

This is the same thing people said about Trump. "Maybe he said X crazy thing as part of a masterplan to..." I've got bad news for you. There is no secret plan that explains the irrational behavior.

Imagine if people could completely change their idenitites every time they said something. It would make conversation and discourse as we know it impossible. It would make the idea you created an account to express invalid. You can't c

From what I've seen personally, the value of the experience and relationships you get from working in your desired field often far outweigh the dollar amount you get paid. It seems like someone would be much more likely to get hired fo

You may not agree with OP, but I don't think this view is delusional. Starting a company is a lot of day to day work in terms of hours, but it's more rewarding than doing interview prep. If you spend weeks or months studying for i

People say "If a business can't afford to pay a living wage, then they should close". But won't that hurt consumers and distort the market? Personally, I like having many options for food to eat. If all the marginal sm

i'm not trying to be snide, but it's worth noting that so much of this is fueled by government subsidies and investments into electric vehicle technology. And the current administration is looking to at least double that investmen

This happens to me when programming. A common term like "array" will jump out at me and I'll think "...that doesn't look right" I saw a term for it many years ago and have googled for it many times since then.

Every one of these potential attacks would require a lot of things to go very right. It's easy to do X or Y under experimental conditions. The real world is far more chaotic and the odds of success are lower. Further, none of these thi

Until people can buy food and essentials with crypto, it has little value on its own. The US government can ban any bank or credit processor from exchanging crypto with any individual right now. The coins aren't any good unless you can

the point is that the child of a billionaire starts off with a 100% chance of being a millionaire. the rest of us can try for 50x or 100x longer than avg but the odds of getting to that level are still miniscule. and if that's the case

This isn't a very good use case for bitcoin. It's very easy to buy coins, but getting your money out is as difficult as various governments want it to be. Most of the major exchanges have KYC and anti money laundering laws that ca
