You brought up the failure to guarantee "decades of stable purchasing-power" as a failure of g.v.rnm.nt and actual money, which is a claim that you think this is a problem solved by bitcoin.

The only bitcoin person I've met IRL consistently made a bunch of bad decisions on a wide variety of topics.

The maximum liability for a credit card user is $50 but is (potentially) unlimited for a debit card user. Depending on when it was reported, your bank might not have been obliged to make the refunds. See: http://www.consumer.ftc

Well in actual fact, despite all the flack the feds get about monetary policy, core inflation is very very low. I remember the inflation of the late 70s/early 80s, and we are absolutely not seeing that now. Oil prices are obviously mu

On the other hand, capital accumulates, and is consolidated over time. Also part of the reason athletes make so much more today is because of sustained labor agitation on the parts of the unions. Go read 'Ball Four' for an exampl

I'm told that political decisions regarding the architecture have greatly hampered gcc's progress, does anybody know if this is the case? Either way, the better error messages in clang make it worth sticking to.

Every time we take our dog to the vet, every single vet is white, but every single vet TECH is a minority. Your thinking is the same kind of logic that says 'well women just aren't interested in STEM'.

They need EMTs just about everywhere (92% white).

A profession with 10K workers should randomly expect to be about 80-82% white. From here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binomial_proportion_confidence_... p=0.81 n=10000 and z = 2 gives a 99% confidence interval
