Wow, I had no idea, thanks!

An interesting thing about HN downvoting is that it makes the comment disappear (for you) immediately. So downvoting = "I don't want to see/hear this" I sometimes reflexively downvote but when I see the comment collapse,

Porsche and BMW are the ones that everyone copies. Look at how many cars now have the once distinctive BMW tail lights, hood creases etc. and how many cars now have the profile of the Panamera, which was regarded as hideous when it first ca

I agree. That was my point - I meant that it shouldn't be news because we should be able to take it for granted that you can buy and sell stuff without being forced to use a middleman.

How weird it is that " Company Finds Legal Loophole That Allows Them to Sell Things To People " is news!

It's a hard subject to teach yourself. I was in a similar situation to you, and after starting with various books I ultimately ended up enrolling with the Open University for a BSc in Mathematics. Before that though, the most useful th

I never bother with them personally. What you're giving up (I think, not a lawyer here) is the right to sue the defendant for the same thing privately. Although it's unlikely you would ever do that, you're not really getting

>> I see it tinted the shade of blue you'd expect So you see it as blue, not white then?

That's baffling (an fascinating) to me. Does the "white" part look the same to you as things that are definitely white? Like the blank parts of the wikipedia page for instance?

But you just said you got your information from doctors. How do you decide which doctors to believe?

How are taxes calculated under this new law? I mean, if both bitcoin and US dollars are legal tender, then you should be able to choose which one you use to pay. But which one is used to calculate what you owe?

If you can grow it using the time you're currently spending on your day job, then yes, do it! Is there some reason that you're hesitating?

This is an outright lie, they were not ordered to give anyone "horse medicine". A physician prescribed Ivermectin (approved for humans) and the hospital refused to administer it. The patient's wife sued and the judge ordered

It would be nice. I often use it that way, and it's great until an ad comes on that you want to skip. The worst thing is the ads that don't go away ever unless you click "skip". And my guess is that this is basically t

His concern is that there could be long term side effects. You claim that if there were, they would already have shown up. Why do you think that? And why doesn't he accept your reasoning for that belief? You are wasting your time readi

Hard to know what the best options might be without knowing what it is you are trying to avoid in the US.

This is a good idea. I thought about this question a while back too and had a similar idea about publishing. I once worked on a voting system for legislators and I realized that no one cared about the details of how the voted were counted,

I think about this a lot. No one can predict what will happen, but I don't see how it could possibly replace fiat currency. Governments are financed by debt, which they want to issue in a currency they control. The US gov does not want

> But I disagree that it's "virtually impossible" for unions to have the right incentives in the private sector Yeah, I might have gone too far with that statement.

by injb 5y ago
You're right, privatization doesn't automatically have to lead to an improvement. Incentives are what lead to the outcome being good or bad. The trouble is that it's virtually impossible for governments and unions to have the

This reads like a stream of loosely connected thoughts. Maybe there's an essay in there but it hasn't really been written yet. My best guess is that what they're trying to say is, most of the time that we talk about "lik

Generally the idea of caches is that they contain a small subset of all your data in a type of storage that's more expensive, but faster. The extra complexity of primary databases is largely down to the fact that they have to use disk

I'm not suggesting that these things justify neglecting it. What I'm responding to is your comment treating Second Amendment advocates as a class with respect to crime. Why should they, as a group, have any particular solution or
