I think we also need to consider the effect of keeping interest rates artificially low and near zero for 15 years has had on this "boom".

It is very common for "Christians" in the US to believe that evolution is not real. There have even been efforts in some schools demanding that "creationism" (the bible) be taught next to evolution as another scientifi

So for this case involving LI, I get my name and employer name isn't protected but there is a section where you describe your role. That is extremely creative, right? There are infinite ways similar work could be described. It isn&#x

serious question (ianal): If I write down some information, at what point does that information have copyright protection? Do I have to claim it with Ⓒ?

We need to do this write large. All abandoned lines should be seized by eminent domain and turned into trails.

I hope the short sellers who have a long standing hatred of Musk short the hell out of Twitter and make a ton when this offer is rejected.

Wow, that is an amazing way to describe it. I've never heard that before. That is a great framing of the debate: free speech doesn't mean free reach. I don't know who made it up (kudos to you if you did) but having terms to d

Divorced and looking back, the root cause of this (in my experience) is a lack of empathy. Love is easy to come by while empathy requires walking in someone else's shoes. I understand this Same Fight because I lived through that. It is

I would expect them to have insurance against theft like everywhere else I store money.

They're an exchange. Cold Storage is not their job. It isn't much of an exchange if I have to wait 8 hours to put in a sell order.

Well said. We do so much damage to our own bodies and environments. This compound each other in unknown ways. But it is hard and takes specific effort to correct.

I disagree. The connectivity of the internet still has the ability to shine the light on the darkness. The problem is that, writ large, we don't care. (me included, we just post a grumble online and get back to our lives) Look at all t

Agreed but I'm not sure how we can change it at this point. Our lives in the US are way too good for revolution. This move by him is strictly about not letting Twitter ever block his accounts. He can pump & dump and mislead investo

Can we just fund the SEC and FTC and force them to do their job?

Agreed, but it still baffles me that people want to give LE backdoors to encryption to "protect the children" and because "they have done nothing wrong".

Very true. Wisdom is knowledge applied.

That's fair. The place most people are coming from when they start a business is usually that their idea is "brilliant" or "world-changing". Some ideas are better than others and most aren't as good as people t

Well, in this case, it was the "brilliant" idea they thought it was. At first, they thought end users would pay but never even stopped to think about what they would pay to be recommended Aleve over Advil, (probably $0.00). Second

This is what life in an oligarchy is all about. Now, back to checking how much the S&P 500 is up today.

Serious question: Why do we need population numbers to be stable? Declining doesn't mean extinction. 8 billion people are doing a lot of damage to this planet that wasn't being done when we had 1 billion. A lot of people have publ

It is not a non-problem for people without your privilege. Gig workers, immigrants and others with no viable options are forced to do these jobs or starve. All the while people complain about immigrants crossing the border and "taking

Your opinion feels a lot like "I don't have anything to hide" kind of argument. We should just not be spying on people without express probable cause. We already have built in tracking for cells phones that people don't

As said, people don't care. They will only push click bait because it is vastly more profitable. There is no such thing as news anymore, it is infotainment. Sowing faux outrage for profit is all.

By neutering consumer choice, neutering consumer protections, killing smaller business, making it hard for new companies to compete/innovate, etc.

It is so sad that the FTC and SEC have completely failed us in the 21st century. Shareholder value above all else.

Yeah, it is sad and an unintended consequence of a global economy. My girlfriend has 17 acres in upstate NY with 300+ ash. They are all slowly dying, losing their bark and blowing down in storms. Most are standing dead and don't even h
