A checkbox that says 'Hide comments from noobs' would suffice. I have 41 karma (rarely comment) but have been here 2546 days. Would appreciate being grandfathered in, thanks.

Well the real reason is FogBugz doesn't know how to predict productivity for remote workers.

I like how you make really important technical platform decisions based on the title of the guy in charge.

Remarkable to me that people consider Republicans the oppressors of freedom and the Democrats the liberators.

He only called attention to those who were not directly involved with the event. Nobody injured or within range to have a traumatic experience from the event was reading pg's twitter feed and getting offended. Only you were.

Banks don't really want to be more efficient and charge less fees. Banks are essential to any system (capitalism) that requires a currency. Nobody would want to be a bank if they could not charge fees. No bank would offer loans or any kind

What you call inefficiency others call profit. The more times money moves around the more money others stand to gain. The economy as a whole does well when moving between parties at a consistent rate. Eliminating the inefficient transaction

While I haven't completely read through this entire essay I do have a small observation: I find it fascinating how much distrust for Government and banking systems fuels your passion for Bitcoin. So long as capitalism exists in its current

One thing that strikes me is the person with the most coupons happens to be the person with the least amount of need for the coupons. Therefore they will never redeem them and eventually everyone runs out. A true currency (and Bitcoin if i

Just because something has value does not make it a currency. If that coupon ONLY gets you a reduction in price off something then its a discount. Here is another tidbit that makes it not a currency: coupons are intended to not be redeemed

Coupons are not currency. They were trading coupons of 1 hour babysitting to save from spending real currency on hours of babysitting.

Yes and then they will develop corporations called bureau's who will rate each individual persons currency worthiness on a numeric scale. Other institutions will determine if they do business with you based on this scale and it takes 7 year

We are making progress. It used to be your class was determined by how much money your great great great grandfather had. Now it's determined by how much you have. Soon it will be determined by how much we think you will have based on your

If enough people say they are done with 40+ hour work weeks and only will do 35 companies will adapt. So far there has not been enough people willing to do so.

You make it sound like a community college education and 90's Honda are bad things to have. They might not be as nice as your neighbor but it's certainly nicer than 100 years ago, no?

Why does capitalism have to lift anyone out of poverty? The opportunity to own assets and control your own production sometimes provides the means to do so. Just because enough impoverished people are not becoming rich per year does not mea

I don't disagree. Some get upset about governments and banks "printing money." My point was they are not upset/concerned to do so as it benefits them.

That's why I dislike the currency = proxy for goods and services. It seems more accurate to say it's debt. When a person has earned/acquired currency it does not mean anything. Proxy for goods/services only goes so far as someone accepts it

Cars are better today then they were 60 years ago. I would not presume that their prices should remain equal.

Perhaps he found the clone and liked it. It is possible he had no idea what svbtle is. It's also possible he does not care. Knowing he is not in svbtle does not make you smarter.

eBay makes money off the listing fees. They don't care whether you get your item or not.
