There are many people in SV that are very quick to bring up race, gender and diversity whenever a dispute arises. It's becoming predictable to the point of being problematic. As a POC myself, I understand there is a time and place for

This is a lot of fluff for making a static picture from DNA fluorescence. There is nothing being rendered here in the tubes, it's just adding varying amounts of DNA to tubes arranged in a grid.

Now imagine how wasteful physical currency is, the infrastructure to store it and transport it, the useless Chase/BOA/WellsFargo branches and ATMs that exist everywhere. They could almost all be replaced with digital wallets and a

Yeah I think those are valid concerns. The ideal case would be a hybrid system of state fiat and cryptocurrencies where liberal democracies incentivize their citizens to use fiat through better governance and services while also respecting

It's not tax evasion if the hops are non taxable events, and the privacy of wallets enable anyone to deny it. This is why Bitcoin is an existential threat to government power. I personally think it's empowering and great for the i

Amazon sells so much garbage I'm not surprised that they end up tossing most of it. I used prime for about a year, had probably a 50% return rate and ended up cancelling. Their items are so low quality it's not worth the effort.
