> Sadly I think it's very unlikely to happen, unless the rich figure out that their wealth is going to be redistributed violently if they don't do voluntarily. Do you really think this will be possible in a decade? With the adv

No one can "freeze" cash, either, which is what currency is. A number in a bank account can represent us dollars, bitcoin or whatever else. You're talking about two different things here. I agree with your point about governm

Apples and oranges. Your bank doesn't issue currency. Your bank could accept bitcoin and run nearly the same as it runs today.

If Rajesh from Chennai is sending all his money back to Chennai, Americans won't have the funds to benefit from the lower prices. You can see a just released Hollywood movie in the theatre for $3 in Indonesia, that doesn't mean it

Maybe a photo app should be created that pretended to be the camera and would mash up faces, mix parts of old photos and recorded images of deep learning "dreams" and passed them off as photos to help poison the fb database

What "chaos" and what "waste" do these statements generate? Here is a man fighting against nearly the entirety of the news media which control the main communication channels. If he's not supposed to use misdirectio

I don't see how you reached that conclusion. He's written about this in his book. He exaggerates and says something controversial in order to get people talking about things they'd otherwise like to ignore. Why isn't thi

Considering the publicity it got Milo, and the negative publicity on Berkeley, I think it had the opposite effect intended.

by reddytowns 10y ago
That's one way to spin it. I think he's more likely trying to get people to notice that Berkeley students effectively suppressed Milo's freedom of speech. By saying something controversial, it prevents the story from being bu

You can tell the difference between this and actually really caring, because the latter actually costs the person something. Using Lyft instead of Uber? Walking out at Google knowing full well it won't affect their job security at all

It will, ineffective, become so, though. Just like in Japan, near every pachinko parlor there is a window where you can trade your "prize" for cash, the underworld will set up shop right next door.

I mostly agree, but if "The ideal state for survival is just above depression" then why is life worth it?

The problem with that is it supports one position over another no matter what the circumstances. What you're saying means that the only correct position is to support ever loosening restrictions on immigration. You can't ever go t

It also means that someone in congress can't be rewarded after their term with a cushy job as a lobbyist. And a congressman that let lobbyists control them, wouldn't be able to receive funds as payment, election term after electio

> The net effect of his presidency will surely be near zero. Did you forget about the 9 trillion dollars of debt he managed to rack up? I think you need to add a few extra zeros to his name.

Does it sway you at all that the market reacted extremely positively to Trump's win? If you are correct, you must know something that most people who are willing to bet money on their opinion do not.

The problem with calling it close based on the popular vote, is that you have to retroactively change the rules. The MSM made the game of winning the popular vote much different than winning the electoral college, by being so biased against
