In what way does it seem like that? There are many, many more _sightings_ in the current decade than the last, with a repeating pattern for about 50 to 70 years or so. Cellphone cameras are partially responsible for that, but unfortunatel

That argument is backwards. If marijuana is illegal for the stated reason that it has negative health affects, then everything that has worse affects should also be illegal.

This is just a suggestion, but it might be useful to stop thinking about news reports as "the news report says X is real and true", because that's not what most news reports actually say. The text used usually reads like: &q

Why not combine the approach and run SELECT statements from the command line? https://github.com/harelba/q I'm sure there are issues with this, but it seems pretty sane. Your sample query would read _something_ l

A fact, iirc, is a statement made which is purported to be about the real world. Given this, both of the statements "the moon is made out of green cheese" and "the moon is made out of things other than green cheese" are

I went through my message a few times just now, and for the life of me I can't find the place that ignited your vitriol. I was prepared to say "I apologize, I'm sorry I offended you," but in retrospect, I see now way wh

Thanks for the response. If I understand the argument correctly, then the claim is that 1) a currency that fits the criteria - circulated by a strong entity who wants it returned - has value, 2) Bitcoin does not fit that criteria, therefor

Could you please give me your reason for believing that there is no inherent value in Bitcoin?

Um, I don't mean to be rude here, but "victimless" usually means that there is no victim, and that's the point. To paraphrase your question, "In what way is there no victim?" seems a bit like trying to prove a

It doesn't say this in TFA, but Fravor was one of the airmen who reported the incident to the NYT, hence the relevance. As he was allegedly denigrated by some as a nut, the 2nd sentence fragment is relevant as well. Neither correlati

When we (biologists) study other species, we travel long distances to examine them in their habitat. We try to hide so we can see them in their natural state, without our interference. If one suggested that this were 'dumb' or &

> Bitcoin inherently does not hold any value, it is a ledger. I just want you to be aware that those 2 sentiments are directly contradictory. A ledger has value -- an online, world-wide, decentralized, distributed, peer-to-peer ledger m

Would it not be the case that declaring "cryptocurrencies to be similar to hard drugs or something and follow the same playbook" is a recipe for disaster? None of the drugs laws have really worked out all that well, as they'

I'm sorry, but the statement "crypto is dangerous [...] because it's very, very easy to get a piece of it" is just batshit. I can very, very easily get many, many things, and most of those things aren't really dange

The people of Zimbabwe and Venezuela appear to disagree with your sentiment that national currencies aren't risky. Your notion that crypto fans can't separate economy from politics doesn't seem right. Re-read the Bitcoin gen

Yes. A grocer with illicit intent can poison the food that they serve because some God told them to do it. We need to ensure that they both are sane and correctly motivated. This isn't simply about providing welfare for people; it a
