This entire thread is flawed in two fundamental ways: 1) The primary concern here is per capita road damage. If that's agreed, why is the conversation not about improving the resiliency of roads? 2) Why would the adoption of new techno

Seems like Ethereum may be a much better bargain right now. It's trending upwards as well over the past few months, but is even less of a % of its 2017 peak price compared to Bitcoin.

Forget partisan BS for a second, shouldn't we as a technical community be demanding for these voting machine software companies to release all metadata associated with the elections? We all know the data combined with the metadata can

The mindset of people like him is to mindlessly elect politicians into office as long as the mass media (a.k.a. modern propaganda owned by a few individuals) tells them to. Who cares if the politician is historically a scumbag who has voted

You clearly don't understand my primary point. You don't even understand why I provided those specific examples. (e.g. 800 polling places is completely fucking unnecessary and is setting the stage for fraud in a historically fraud

Was just thinking the same thing. These things are such a joke and nothing comes out of them. And I love how they are afforded the right to answer these questions from the comfort of their homes. Make them go to DC!

So let me get this straight, your response to my criticism of left-wing censorship is to quote an article from a major left-wing media outlet who actively participates in censorship & altered-framing of news topics? And on top of that,

At the end of the day, you're using electricity to send around a bunch of 1's and 0's. The amount of electricity used doesn't change much whether it represents $10 or $100,000...so why do you need a percentage of the t

However you sugarcoat this, it's essentially shifting long term wealth away from your customers and into your pocket. People aren't stupid. Hopefully this triggers more competition.

Considering this guy says he'll "debunk" any claim of election fraud, it's probably safe to say he simply won't say anything if he finds evidence of election fraud. See https://news.ycombinator.com/i
