   There are so many better crypto-currencies. Better for the environment because they use proof-of-stake, and not proof-of-work. Better for users because transactions are confirmed in seconds, not hours, and without the ridiculous fees that B

   Isn't that how you calculate a company's market cap? That will also tank with significant selling. A bigger issue to me, would be we don't know how much BTC is lost due to wallets being inaccessible.

   In theory, this would never get to trial.

   I do have a side-project that I would love to finish up and monetize. It's a personal budgeting application (think YNAB, Every dollar, etc.) I coded up a proof of concept. It's been neglected for a few weeks, but having a partner

    Not all restaurants have their own website, but a lot do, and you can order online there.

    Thanks... I've had bloody stools before, (I'm 32), but when the doctor checked, they found a fissure, which I guess was good enough for them to explain the bleeding... Well, now the symptoms are back, and no fissure to be found, s

    With the way these companies advertise, they make it seem like a silver bullet for internet anonymity. Almost every YouTube video I've seen recently seems to have one as a sponsor, and I am sure they are picking up many non-technical c

    My intent was to say that PragerU is partisan propaganda, not a source for definition. At best, someone could use it as part of an adversarial process at arriving at the truth, but the author doesn't do that. They take the definition a

    All credibility is lost when she links to PragerU for her definition of intersectionality. Besides that, by her own logic of free speech, people have a right to call for boycotts/cancellations, do they not? Free speech for me, not for

    I know "stimulus" is in the CNN title, but I really hate that term. If the money is going towards rent and necessities, its not stimulus, its a life-line.

    MMT states that taxes are what creates demand for the currency. Assume that the Fed is just printing money... pretty soon, people will get wise that this money is worthless, and use something else. By taxing in the same currency, people nee
