I dont know why you're being down voted. You can diversify into high and low risk assets. Btc is a valid but high risk asset, with a future that one could at least rationally make a case for.

You do if youre a 20-something software developer who can afford to lose a couple thousand dollars and take the risk of hitting it big. While in theory it is probable that btc growth will never be as astronomic as it has been in the past, y

Perhaps your experience was different from mine. I went to a well known, buy non ivy league school, and grad school for myself and most, not all, of those around me was more about faking it until you made it into industry. Plenty of junk sc

I do not have a PHD in CS myself, but for anyone reading this, you should still make a habit of reading papers you do not understand. You'll likely pick up bits and pieces and learn even if you dont understand what you're reading

I wonder, how are these results skewed for more complex problems where certain questions and answers are taboo? How easy is it for the wisdom of the crowd to fail once global bias and majority censorship are considered? Are echo chambers ul

Personally, I learned to code in an oop style. I cut my teeth on CPP and then a few years of c#, but these days I work in python. My problem with non OOP in a language like python is that I have trouble scaling large apps and interacting wi

So what is the limit of what is acceptable to pass down to a child? Who decides?

Sure, that is the point of moral relativism, because morality is shaped by culture. For instance, capital punishment is variously moral/immoral in different parts of the world.

Our agreement is based on the fact that there will always be someone more interested in your wallet than your life. It is dangerous to suggest that after x dollars it is acceptable to take money from someone. Excluding taxes, which are a di

We are under no moral obligation to spend our money in any way. Where does this sense of entitlement come from? Do you believe that your morals are truely absolute?

You do realize that the concept of fairness is subjective and multidimensional, correct? Who are you to decide what is or is not fair? Is it fair for me to build an empire and be barred from passing on what I've worked for to my childr

Drugs are a tool like any other. Or rather, each drug can be a tool in its own right. There are drugs for sleeping, drugs for focus, drugs for creativity, drugs for fun... You've literally been conditioned by the media (and probably th

I am not arguing that we should stay on coal. I'm suggesting that you dont need to be an evil 1% banker to understand why both rich and poor people can be against windmills. >No one is asking you to put a turbine in your backyard Su

No. Don't make this a class warfare thing. The nice thing about nuclear/coal power plants is that you dont have to pepper the horizon with them. There is substantially less visual impact, and with nuclear, far less spatial footpri

Yeah, that'll convince them to our side! Let's insult of their taste! Never mind that taste is subjective, and you cannot deny that modern wind turbines don't exactly blend with the natural horizon, be it sky, mountain, or fo

There is substantially more value for all of us in allowing more resources to be distributed to those who are able to do more with them. And your definition of "fair playing field" is skewed because, again, you treat economics as

Yes, I look forward to being barred from sharing the wealth that I've accumulated with my children and other loved ones. Why should they have any advantage, right? After all, you probably think I didnt do anything myself, right? Who ar

It might take weeks for someone to identify you in real life based on a grainy still image from a camera. And then one would still have to correlate among people, other cameras, and locations to learn anything about you without surveillance

Semi related, but Threadripper is not just about speed. It is about PCIE lanes. Intel has been taking advantage of its monopoly for decades, artificially limiting PCIE lane count, among other things. This may be the start of a new era in co

This phenomenon is circular. There is a void of publications on the subject, therefore, scientists and laymen begin to believe that there is no second side, and, combine that with politics, we end up with a seemingly settled science when, i

The GP starts his post with "every week," and I interpreted it as being structured to indicate a recent trend. It is ambiguous, I admit, but I don't think I'm reaching with my understanding.
