if bitcoin is going to be successful, there's room for more than one major player in the merchant services space. i would agree that coinbase seems to have a big lead - they are operational - and have a clear path to success. circle mo

I hear you. When the bet is so far out that you can't even guess at it - either we're just too dim (likely), or the theory is pretty shaky. the mouse is a good parallel - just a way to interface with content. many people have figu

I don't see the fit here. I get Microsoft buying the Kinect platform for Xbox. Instantly plug it into games, you have an incredible game option, and additional features get built down the line. Seems like the first stop for a VR headse

HIV transmission is a good example of a wildly controversial topic, that is actually no longer discussed. it's considered a settled issue that everyone is equally likely to get HIV. on IQ - I'm not sure that's necessarily tru

in terms of setting federal policy, are SV software startups really net job creators for the economy? when we think of them from the perspective of "software eating the world" arguably they make a lot of jobs obsolete, perhaps an

Why disregard the topic of the way Newsweek handled this? Here's a private citizen. He has $400mm in an anonymous currency. Here's the city he lives in. Here's what his house looks like. I recognize they are just trying to pr

I think the rating is a pretty weak way to address issues like this. I'm a big fan of Uber, but the insistent ratings are really annoying. For example - I take a ride, the car is fine, the driver is a little annoying, there is traffic

Interesting to contrast national business strategies in Africa. China is pursuing something like neo-neo-colonialism. See these recent China-Zimbabwe deals: http://www.bdlive.co.za/africa/africanbusiness/2014/

Yes, Georgia invaded South Ossetia. It's incredible how often this incident is twisted to portray the Russians as aggressors.

If today, you just came back from a year long vacation in a country without papers, internet access or TV, had no idea what happened in Syria, and was unaware of the back-and-forth struggle to get Ukraine to align with the EU ... Woke up to

How is Victoria Nuland "low ranking"? You realize the title "secretary" does not mean they answer phones and schedule appointments? Here's the state department org chart. http://www.state.gov/r/

Victoria Nuland, the woman who was caught on the leaked tape saying "F*ck the EU", essentially because the EU was not quite as enthusiastic about supporting further action, was the principal deputy foreign policy adviser to Vice P

From what I gather, Obama has some of the same foreign policy advisors as Bush did. We are pursuing some backdoor strategy to get Ukraine to join the EU. The democratically elected president chose to ally with Russia instead, because Russia

I tuned out of this article as soon as I saw the name "Craig Pirrong." I've heard about him before in the financial sector - kind of a scummy, academic-for-hire. The kind of guy who gets really mad when you ask him about his

In addition to not being a branch of government, it is also not clear that the Fed is at all "sensible". I don't doubt that the Fed is full of smart people, but they seem to use their smarts to find ways to put a band-aid on

I think the biggest thing missing from this conversation and thought process is the change in the value of money over time. Basically - it is a lot different to have lower relative purchasing power these days in terms of quality of life tra
