These numbers aren't believable. There's no way to consistently make $1k on every $3k wagered. Possibly for weeks, or even a couple of months. But there is no method of betting on professional sports that can do that over any sign

I could be wrong, but it seems like the cost to demolish a mall and completely rebuild is dwarfed by the value of the real estate. I don't particularly want to live in a former mall, but I might be interested in a condo in the same loc

It's a commonly accepted fact that vaccines work. We were all vaccinated against multiple viruses as babies for a reason. The fact that he added the word "Gosh" to his comment doesn't make it insulting or target any spec

I assumed that all human lives had the same value, regardless of age, gender or physical fitness. Like many people, I settled on a small set of rules and didn't deviate from it based on any personal characteristic. I'm not sure if

As another comment pointed out, if Taylor Swift or Beyonce joined Neil Young it would really tip the scales. Spotify can't give in to the demands of any one creator, perhaps. But if the right ones got together they could get probably g

You'll get more and higher quality feedback from a larger volume of users. And right now you're self selecting for people who are willing to use their email to create an account. The best way to improve a product is to have a lot

In theory, this could be used to create AI agents that can process visual/audio information in a way that's more similar to humans. It could lead to household robots or advanced conversational interfaces. or whatever the hell th

I still don't understand this argument. You have to convert bitcoin into some kind of national fiat currency to actually buy things with it. At that point the government that controls that currency can impose whatever restrictions they

It's possible that crypto/web3 are a lot of diverting attention, resources and energy toward ideas that are fundamentally impractical. The fact that so many people have a financial interest in promoting these ideas makes the whole

This view is both boorish and ignorant. There are many types of coronaviruses, including MERS and SARS. They can't be mitigated through "diet and exercise". These diseases often occur in parts of the world with much lower obe

Not sure why you needed the TinySeed money. It looks like you were only a few months away from $10k/mo, which seems near the boundary for sustainable income. Was there some investment you were able to make with the TinySeed money that

I've known many people in silicon valley who smoke cannabis regularly (several times a week if not daily). They all seemed to be cognitively normal. Some of them function on a level I only wish I could attain. I think regular cannabis

They aren't sending the tests out, in part, because 1/3 of Americans would performatively destroy them on social media. Not to mention that the tests cost money and sending them to people who didn't ask for them isn't go

Have to say, Pluribus beating top humans for 10,000 hands isn't the same thing as being super human. It's just too small of a sample to make that claim. Further, thousands of the hands that Pluribus played against the human pros a

You've made claims up and down this thread that amount to "trust me" or "look it up". None of these are simple factual matters like "What is the capital of Egypt?". There are numerous studies about basic i

It's so much easier to fill out a form than it is to talk to a human. I read faster than most people speak, and I can scan and review much faster via sight rather than voice. Talking to someone is valuable if I have questions or there

This is a particularly pernicious misunderstanding because it leads people to believe that they have to take out loans to go to college or they will earn less money. Saying "People who do X make more money" can have consequences i
