I agree. I only avoided student debt because I originally thought that I was going to get a doctorate, so it didn't matter if I went to a no-name state school with a good scholarship. I chose my path arbitrarily based on classes that w

I don't think he's saying that blockchain is required to solve this problem, just that even with blockchain, the problem is not solved.

I don't know about that. In my school district, there was a 5th grade field trip where we had "jobs" that paid "money" we could use to buy trinkets at the other shops the other kids worked at. That was the limit of

In my case, it's something to play with. I need to fiddle with things. If my hand isn't on my mouse, I'm playing with my mouse wrist rest (basically a bean bag). If it is on my mouse, I'm clicking around randomly.

I'm on my first job, so I've only turned down offers once, and I had competing offers. Ended up taking a job in Denver as a software engineer. The other options were applications engineering positions, one for Seagate and one for

Seems like every content platform starts out as free speech or at least more free reign (Facebook, Twitter, Reddit), and as they become popular the various minority groups they attract can become larger, more insular, and more vocal, which
