Amazing you actually believe that. Have you considered what doesn't make it to the news, and also what gets explicitly omitted from the news? Do you even know that FATF is the main organization that goes around imposing KYC/AML? A

The likes of Paypal locks your funds without explanation or appeal. And the likes of HSBC launder money with impunity. (BUT BUT KYC/AML!) But hey, let's continue trusting self interested people who don't care about you to &qu

As Naval wisely said when Trump was cancelled, "if you can silence a king, you are the king." FAAMG is the government and the internet. Just a matter of time until it becomes official.

We can, how many have you planted? The problem is the space issue and that it takes a decade or two for there to be meaningful carbon uptake. Most land is private so you can't go around planting willy nilly. What's worse is that y

Is it actually so unlikely considering the sheer number of ways it could happen? We live in a society where it's obvious that one event, one invention, and one person can have an outsize effect on all the rest. Thankfully, these end up

Article very soft and studies as well. The bottom line is this: Epigenetics is a thing and you need to be aware of it. And if you intend to conceive, you are doing your kid a disservice by not being in peak physical condition when you do so

Well, for one reason, if Satoshi is alive; he can easily crash the entire bitcoin market if his wallets start selling currency. If he's dead, (which is the case if he's Finney), then that is a not a risk. If he is alive, then the

"What’s more, when women become more represented in a job, the pay for that job tends to go down." This is what is most fundamental about what happened to the labor force, it's supply and demand at work. More people willing t

I love how people love saying Amazon doesn't have a monopoly in retail when that massive category includes the sale of all consumer (and some producer) goods. Amazon has 70%+ market share in many sectors of retail, such as books. But b

Intelligence is wonderful but it alone does not make one well-off. The short answer is that you get rich by leading, not by following. So unless that intelligence comes with a disposition to build a business or at least lead others then you

It may be a good bet, it may not be. Hedge funds now buy up stocks before they get indexed. Stocks will still beat cash in the long run but the main thing is to be ahead of the curve.

It's simple accounting, as interest payments on the debt become an increasingly higher part of the budget, the end result becomes insolvency. Of course, an actual default for a country like the U.S. is a very unlikely outcome for a var

The article really puts an emphasis on recruitment and, as someone who went to a top 5 school and went into business for myself instead of joining the pack, it's not about that at all but rather about social conditioning and money. The

Don't be hyperbolic, the process is obviously gradual. I'm sure there are a couple dozen scientists who could give you a probabilistic answer to your 2nd question though.

Considering the two sticks of Micron RAM I purchased in mid 2016 have appreciated 2-3x value, I don't have much sympathy for the big three DRAM producers. There's a reason the Chinese are looking so longingly at their lunch.

I would look into Hex: Shards of Fate, you can play in your underwear at home and so it doesn't require as big of a time investment. Unlike Magic Online, it actually has a great client that doesn't look like it's from the 90s
