"Better" is not a universal truth. It is dependent on the context of the individual transaction. If you simply refuse to acknowledge that crypto might be cheaper and/or faster than available traditional finance options for s

It's going to be hilarious, after all the time spent world-wide to snuff out self-custodial bearer bonds and shares, if governments actually explicitly legitimize self-custody decentralized stable coins.

That's an interesting take. The actual transfer is the one big upside I see of crypto over wire. And remember 'wire' is not a currency, we're comparing transfers here not the suitability of a currency ('wire'

If you want paper gold instead of real gold you should probably be holding gold mining company ownership instead.

I've had domestic wires held up for days just to go through yet another KYC when wiring between two already KYC'd accounts. If the authorities decide to civil asset forfeiture it in the process, the recourse is to pour 10s of tho

Sorry if I did a poor job of conveying, but my comment was never intended to rationalize committing suicide or not committing suicide. It was to illustrate society generally doesn't respect these wishes, that these wishes often fail,

Buying and selling horseshit, generally, is not a crime. Taking a deposit for the purchase of overpriced horse-shit, and then instead betting on the value of another pile of horse shit, while telling depositors you won't do that is th

How on earth is this comment grey. Basic biology is women, with a higher reproductive burden, to be more selective.

Something like 95% of suicides fail and then they'll toss you into a home or someplace terrible to keep you from doing it again.

What you're describing is tragedy of the commons. No negative consequences to not having children, but big negative disproportional cost to the parents raising them. With disproportionately privatized losses and socialized gains. Peo

I wonder if he started taking emsam after he knew his goose was cooked several months ago. Might be the only way to keep going with a straight face while you bet the farm on red hoping to get the deposits back.

MIT grad, ex Jane Street trader, comes from lawyer-professor family, garnered VC capital from big names like Kevin O'Leary and lead the pitches. Dude knew what he was doing and if he didn't it was done out of such criminal neglige

I thought starve the beast was where non-wartime federal spending as a percent of GDP increased multiple times over the past 100 year period. The beast to be starved being the individual citizen and businesses. Yes you can see, the beast h

I think you would be hard pressed to find someone currently living with a license that got it at a time where it was OK to will-nilly hit pedestrians.

Where I live private businesses can act as agents of BMV. IT creates an economic incentive for productivity and pleasantness because the customers are not captive to this business and since they are in competition and profit from each lice

I think New York State should also require the consent of children before institutionalizing them for non-criminal matters. The history of New York state suggests they are child abusers and mentally unfit to make decisions to forcibly inst

I think the gulf between opinions here is I see adulthood (and fundamentals like ability to do as you please to your own body) as irrevocable until at least a crime against a (not yourself) victim has been performed. Ideally I would live i

The dictator part in me, if given the ability, would wave a magic wand and make these individuals 100% neurotypical for 24 hours. At the end of the time, I would ask them if they want to (1) wave the wand again and stay this way as long as

So this isn't meant at all to provide an analogy, as it's a different circumstance. But I'm curious about your personal opinion. Someone has curable cancer (but definitively imminently fatal), but they irrationally reject t

I imagine that was a traumatic experience for you. Trauma has been known to make people make irrational and poor choices. I can't honestly say I know that living in a psychosis (medicated or not) is always better than dying. I defer

It's not the offering of help I take issue with. It's the use of force/violence to impose it, most especially in cases where there is no criminal wrongdoing. Personally I find your stance far more judgmental than mine; no on

Doesn't take a month to cancel his passport. Wouldn't his stay be illegal at that point and he could easily be deported?

The legal position of starting off as a free person and having that taken away is not at all analogous to one of someone who starts out as an unfree person (child) and has (or hasn't) reached self agency. Pretty disingenuous analogy,

Enjoy the generous 'help' New York provides when they operate an expanded system of wards: Senator Robert F. Kennedy toured the institution in 1965 and proclaimed that individuals in the overcrowded facility were "living

The moral of the story is people should be forced to do things without their consent if they'll be healthier/better for it? I find myself utterly incompatible in living in such a society and I've spent much of my life seeking

I don't think their should be a court of rationality. You should have the right to be irrational, including the right to commit suicide because sad face or a lizard looked at you wrong, if you can do it without aggressing upon others.

If someone asks and you say no, what do you want them to do? IMO if someone would rather be in a gutter with their teeth rotting out than in an institution, that's their prerogative if they can do it without aggressing upon others.

AFAIK in new york the wards were closed largely in response to abhorrent conditions exposed in a documentary at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willowbrook_State_School and other locations.

Bitcoin is entertaining to some people. It also allows you to lower transaction fees in certain situations, or make an electronic irreversible transaction relatively quickly compared to ACH/wire. My point is that Buffet seems to under
