Real estate investments are a store of wealth, ie a savings product. Real estate investments are one of the few vehicles to store wealth other than relatively basic accounts that are available to a broad swath of consumers.

It has less to do with China's theoretical alignment ("communism") as it does with the challenges to state financial controls, and in turn, China's economic model, that bitcoin poses. Bitcoin is a very useful tool for ev

I recommend To the End of the Solar System by James Dewar, on this topic. He's an evangelist, but it has great primary source docs.

What's my opinion on the speech? That it's true that people conceptualized of a "white race" prior to the 1950s, but it doesn't contradict my claim that an inclusive white identity lacks long historical precedent, h

There has never been a "white culture" in an enduring and stable way. Something resembling a multi-ethnic white monoculture developed during the 1950s, resulting from the social mixing of whites in WW2 service. But that's ver

When people say "he/she looks ethnic", they don't mean white. This is a common colloquialism. He doesn't mean that white isn't an ethnicity -- he means that it's the default setting in the US. The poster i

I love HST, but a lot of what he wrote in Rolling Stone was not true either. Publishing "A Rape on Campus" was a major error in judgment with very serious and censure-deserving consequences. But RS has never been a magazine to &qu

I thought this was a reasonable and strikingly good faith comment. I do not know why it is receiving such punitive downvoting. Thank you for sharing your historical perspective.

Thank you for telling your story. I think you are making very good points. I'm in favor of all the flashy development, and I don't think we should feel bad about building it. But the problems you cite here are the ones I worry we

I agree with this, and I appreciate the sentiment you're espousing. But there have been a lot of very costly "This will REVITALIZE the city projects" that haven't panned out. And much of what happens in the city's c

This is really cool, but I feel some skepticism. I grew up in metro Detroit, live nearby in A2, and commute to Detroit proper weekly for meetings. A lot of the people moving to Detroit are like me -- young, unmarried, working in creative, m

Is this sarcasm? Last I checked, no one was mandating teens to read Teen Vogue.

Yes, there are now interstitials. They are not mandatory though -- you can swipe past.

Snapchat is Comcast for your face, without the need for pipes. They want to own the distribution of video content on mobile (and eventually AR), whether it comes from your friend or from NatGeo. Right now, it's hard to get started on S

A few simple grip trainers from Amazon did wonders for my weightlifting. A couple years ago, I was a novice with barbells. After a month of failing to progress on barbell lifts, I realized that my grip strength was lacking. The trainers sol

Did you read the whole piece? There's strong evidence that drug abuse is bad, and that the best way to mitigate it is through harm reduction policies -- and that these policies ultimately reduce use of drugs. Which is what you want, ri

Are you any less likely or more likely to support policies based on what you see in digital media? Do the owners of these websites owe it to you to not talk about their opinions? I understand that you may not wish to deal with this. But I s

I don't see any need for your derision towards the original poster, and I don't think low information, low effort comments like yours fit the decorum of hacker news.

The CIA had virtually zero footprint in Russia throughout the Cold War. All in all, it is not a remarkably effective institution for collecting human intelligence or for sabotage – the United States IC is far superior with signals intel.

I'm happy to talk about the ways in which NATO expansion was a questionable choice, as I am inclined to agree, but that's not what you originally contended. Russia had a Rust Belt orders of magnitude larger than the United States

The 90s really weren't courtesy of the West. I understand this line of thinking, and I don't want to suggest that the West's handling of Russia in the collapse of the Soviet union was ideal. I know that it wasn't. But t

Thank you for mentioning this! I've heard the hypothesis that some Autistic Spectrum Disorders are misdiagnosed as Borderline in women. I don't know how credible that hypothesis is, or how well-substantiated, but it seems reasonab
