My thoughts on this are, techies are generally nice and intelligent people. Last thing they will do is to harm someone or get to a physical fight. Unionised autoworkers wouldn't be a soft target. I really hope that this is a one off in

I am not sure but FBI can only be involved on financial frauds over 1 million (I vaguely remember this and could be wrong)

Novice question : Can in say 10-15 years, Bitcoin's crypto standards be bypassed using raw computing power? How about 20 years?

As an Indian. I would request fellow Indians (who else is upvoting this?) to not encourage such posts. There's enough superstition already in the country. Let's not encourage it. Let people join and learn modern mathematics and sc

I totally see a build up to 'Occupy Silicon Valley' around the next bust. Unlike bankers, techies would gladly join and even encourage the movement if it has any merit.

This is a great idea to offload the high prices to the last mile. Now there just need to be a major push on news about Bitcoin and it be a perfect slaughterhouse.

So basically, if a planet has no dominant/intelligent species capable of protecting itself; not only nature resets that planet; it scatters the building blocks of life to other planets as well in the process. Billions of years forward.

I am guessing it's going to get substantially easier to program going forward. Look at amount of tools and technologies we have access to. Communities, Github, Refactoring, Intellisense. So many things just out of the box. Many ready m

Everyone here should watch that Ducktales episode where everyone in the valley gets lots of bottle caps and then there's no value to them. It's a fallacy and shortsightedness to think there be no inflation. No country is a closed

Gold is inflationary. There's infinite amount of that on asteroids and other planets. Bitcoin is totally an asset. It will probably have far wider usage than currency.

I actually struggled with the thoughts on welfare. That's not the solution I would like to see myself as it leads to multiple other problems. I have written my thoughts on welfare state. You can read that on /logs. But I do strong

Sorry my writing disappointed you. For me it was a different perspective on things and I felt like to share it with others.

It's the money of other citizens. People don't realize it but money doesn't always gets invested from wealthy individuals. It could very well be from pension funds, mutual funds etc. So it's not that banks are getting hu

I see what you mean now. You are right, purchasing power of calorie/nutritious value would be a better metric.

That's why poverty line is different amongst regions. What I want to know is if someone is able to buy same amount of rice in one country at poverty line as other countries or how much does it vary.

At the risk of mowed over by the crowd, I want to propose not calling it income. It's welfare. In no way should we equate it to result of someone's work.

Website should list simply the amount of rice or similar commodity one can buy in local market of that country. Although even this will vary widely for large countries like India.

That's pretty much how all the money move around. What's $200-$300 for most people here as fun money on KickStarter is what it would be for some people for 10-100x that sum.

I grew up in India. In one of the major metros. And deterioration over the years was all too striking. I couldn't really put down finger on what snowballed it to such a state but materialism is definitely a big part of it. As a 10 year
