We're talking about http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murray_Rothbard libertarians, not classical libertarianism.

Moral of the story: don't have more money tied up in BTC than you can afford to lose.

Sounds like a wonderful way to waste electricity and kill browser performance at the same time.

People making false equivalency arguments on internet message boards?

That was her description of her subjective experience, but she made it clear that it was most likely due to the stress & anxiety.

> keeps thousands of units vacant > have the well know effect of reducing supply This critique seems rather incoherent.

It causes problems for the middle class being priced out of the market, yes. How is dropping rent controls supposed to anything but exacerbate that problem?

Tech companies dumping tons of money into the real estate market is _not_ a government generated problem.

The government can accommodate (or fail to), but most of the driving factors here originate from the private sector.

Banks (in the US) don't loan out deposits; deposits are the cheapest source of reserves used for settlement, but the actual loans themselves are created ex nihilo [1]. This is kind of the central point of why we no longer experience ba

Cancer cells grow and thrive just fine in their environment, what's all the fuss about?

The rant is that it's exploitative and anti-consumer. You're removing value from your product in order to increase revenue. That it works and perpetuates is not an argument in its favor.

Nice… I had been using '__', but it seems like this will allow you to use it multiple times in a parameter list.

It depends on the return value, yes. I usually try to keep modules small and use some kind of threading (needle + thread analogy, not os threads/web workers) strategy when building functions -- pulling out common patterns into globa

I've done quite a bit of Ember as well, and lately I'm kind of liking React's approach much better. It composes well with many routing/model solutions, and keeps the 'run loop' isolated in the view layer.

It works well for JS, too. Favor function composition & higher order functions for code reuse over complicated prototype hierarchies.

Convention over configuration achieved with opaque magic can actually harm the dev process more than it helps.

That's kind of why public housing failed in the first place: rents alone could not make up the entirety of the needed maintenance and staffing budgets.

Another is that there is no credit.

Well, it's just a crude barter system, it has none of the complexities of a real capitalist system.

> people start getting paid in Bitcoin (already happening) and accept it as payment (also already happening), all these exchange fees go away. Still have to exchange for taxes.

Stackoverflow had sense enough to close it as flamebait.

Never quite thought about this way that Bitcoin could crash into the side of a mountain.

You are punished if you fail to fulfill your obligation, yes; but how you go about doing that is completely open to you. Hence freedom.

Taxes are an obligation, not government activity.
