When I move into an apartment I like to disable all the smoke detectors in the building and lock all the emergency exits. You know, I like to ride on the wild side, and I like to create the conditions for everyone else to be at risk of acci

Maybe. Or a summary from experts. That paper has high level math in it and just isn't going to be comprehended by most people.

They are all worth learning, but no one can know everything. Knowing how something works cannot be a prerequisite to using it. That is one of the purposes of division of labor in society.

Do you know how a fridge works? How about an airplane? How about how to make steel? How to sew a shirt? How to drill and process oil to make gasoline? Every level of the internet stack? How to program hardware drivers? How to farm ev

Why would people be entitled to reparations because of lack of access to credit? Easy access to credit is not a fundamental human right. Also the lenders are often private businesses, so wouldn't they be liable.

For international sales we accept euro/yuan/pounds/etc but instantly convert it to dollars. I would say that we are pricing in those currencies.

That is basically GDAX. The fees are higher so it isn't worth it necessarily if you are day trading.

If I was going to pay you 100k, would you rather receive it in btc or yuan? You are a chinese citizen in this scenario.

I mean that is definitely possible. https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/bitfinex/ I put some btc on bitfinex to quickly buy some NEO and move it off the exchange this year.

Honestly it sucks that these incredibly sketchy exchanges do so much volume. Poloniex and Bitfinex are sketchy as hell, but I guess their fees are low so no one cares. It would be somewhat surprising if bitfinex doesn't go down in a s

This is great. Unless Trump is doing this for a petty grudge, then it is super fucked up. They should split nbc from comcast as well.

Those skills are more in demand and probably much rarer. It makes more sense that employers would need to look beyond US borders to fill those positions.

I have taken stimulants on and off through my life. I certainly don't need them, but it is very unlikely I would own a tech company if I hadn't taken them. They have almost certainly improved my life immensely.

The stock market is not random though. If you have a person who previously worked at the fda specializing in kidneys for example, having that person analyze which kidney drugs/devices they think will get approved is not luck. People c

After skimming that I still have no idea why she opposes it. Because it made her cry? Because she doesn't like the businesses that offer all inclusive packages? Not a great article.

That is great and all but I would still classify this kind of behavior as predatory and taking advantage of the young. Payday loan places are also pretty transparent about the situation.

Electricity is cheap in New Orleans and we make video games so the computers all have decent gpus. You can connect to hubs that auto switch the mining algorithm to the most profitable one at the time.
