Why are you taking funding if you only have a vague idea?

There are plenty of viable investments; they just usually don't offer ludicrous rates of return. Just normal, decent ones.

One has to wonder how expensive those expeditions were, comparatively speaking, to the average Angel or Series A.

But if that correction happens, why would those startups still be worth anything, either?

Why would anyone issuing an ICO want this? Even if you're not a scammer, why would you want the community to be able to block your funding due to unforeseen circumstances?
906.
by s73v3r_ 8y ago
Right, but at that point, what's the difference between an ICO and a security? If I was an investor, why would I want to go into an ICO vs traditional means?

The Constitution calls out 2 groups of people: "Citizens", which it uses when referring to voting rights and who can run for office, and "People", which refers to everyone, citizen or not, within the jurisdiction of the

I don't think anyone should be dedicated to Voltaire's sense of free speech, as it's a ludicrously absolutist position. I'm fairly certain that in Voltaire's time, they didn't have coordinated harassment/d

"- where is the pressure to close Guantanamo?" There is a lot of it. However, it's countered by the pressure of, "Where do we send those people? My constituents don't want them in our district."

Agreed. "Rolling Coal" should be treated as a violent assault on others, especially cyclists, that I should be able to defend myself against like any other assault.

"My father went to college in the early 80s, he was able to work as a ditch digger in the sunmers and pay for his school, books, and living off of that." Your example is completely invalid today. "The issue isn't that wa

"Honestly I would be fine with no minimum wage" With all due respect, that's probably because you're not someone who's having to survive on it. "That said, putting the minimum wage to an amount that is surviabl

I can't really agree. There are enough who do need to survive on it that it should be a living wage. And I can't agree that them being priced out is a problem, because back when it was a living wage, students were able to get part

by s73v3r_ 8y ago
I cannot disagree more. It's a "minimum wage". What good is it if it's not a living wage? What's the point of having a minimum wage that one cannot survive on?

There was a 10 year lag time between when he started school and when he finished. It's extremely difficult to predict what's going to be in demand and what's not over that time period.

Yet, we're in an economy where employers are constantly complaining they can't find workers.

"Its the market rate for those things. " I don't think you can say that when they're the ones who set those rates. Especially when they constantly complain about not being able to find qualified workers. "I would sa

Which is why you, as a business, would not accept those robocalls.
920.
by s73v3r_ 8y ago
That doesn't make a lick of sense. Why are employers entitled to cheap labor?

by s73v3r_ 8y ago
The rate of wage growth may have doubled, but if you double next to nothing, you're still next to nothing.

Not necessarily for the Palestinians, but the Israelis definitely have a say in what their government allows. If they wanted to, they could stop that practice, and restore the Palestinians. As such, all Israelis are partially to blame for w

Well, if they're scammers, do you think they'll care?

That's not the issue. The issue is that the objective for these schools is to have a diverse student body, not necessarily the "objectively best students based on the things we decide to measure."

"Bias and racism is predictable when you choose to abandon Meritocracy based on objective measurable criteria." Meritocracies aren't purely objective, either. Someone has to come up with the metrics, and someone has to decide
