The land was given away to people, in the US, up to about 100 years ago, just for staking a claim on the land. Up to 40 acres per person. Many made illegal claims to more than one. Many of the wealthy quickly bought them up. You can learn m

If you don't eat food and you die, you're still gene dead. You haven't solved that problem. Besides, there are brilliant minds that have had a bigger impact on the world and created a legacy stronger than most of the gene und

"The old economy is built on the arrogance of growth at all costs, profiting from pollution, and the refusal to share economic gains with 99% of Americans." This mindset is shared by many building the new economy. Peter Thiel said

You could have said, "This deadline isn't reasonable" and pushed back then, but you didn't. You agreed to the deadline. And so your team expected you to be finished by then and you weren't, so the entire project and

It's not what I call fiat, it's the definition of fiat. I thought bitcoin was not a fiat currency, but in fact it is, because it's value is controlled by supply and demand based on the decisions of humans. I am now convince

I'm not a gold bug, but technology can enable us to use micro or even nano-ounces of gold. We used to use half-pennies too. Canada doesn't even use pennies anymore. Just store both olympic sized swimming pools of gold in the same

The first thing we need to do is reject the myth of the free market. There is no free market. It's never worked. There is no existing free market in the world and no one appreciates the consequences of it. A free market would equate to

Thanks for clarifying that blocksize controls only transaction volume. I get that now. I didn't when I made my original post. I think, still though I'm not articulating my point well enough. Fiat currency fails 100% of the time be

I've used git on several hosts and subversion back in the day. I have no problem learning new things. Tortoise, bitbucket, github, beanstalk to name a few. I think your reaction is more horrifying than me not having a compelling reason

If you aim to create great software that is flexible and powerful from the beginning, you'll be fine. Many businesses are still running very well on my 10 year old code and will be 10 or even 20 years from now I'm sure. Let this i

It's hard to explain to people, who aren't techies, why I, as a programmer, don't have the latest and greatest software installed asap. I still use Visual Source Safe for my personal projects. It's never failed me in 20
