> Escrow accounts and merchant layers are in development. Sorry, this does not make BTC a bank. As they continue to add more features, we will see what BTC will become and how it may be useful. But comparing it to a bank is silly.

This take is like reacting to the Ford Model T by saying how much energy it uses, how you can't access fuel to put in it, etc. BTC isn't the end-all crypto solution. It's the first attempt. It will continue to evolve and matu

Bitcoin isn't a bank, it's a currency. You can't do that with the USD either, and you could build a banking platform on top of bitcoin to allow for chargebacks and credit lines. The benefit of BTC is that when your bank misma

The 1800s were not a period of domination for either gender -- by any measure. Pretty much every era has been a period of domination for the wealthy and ruling class. Within that wealthy and ruling class (which accounts for less than 1% of

This is clearly about more than just unjamming a part, but the work that was put into building the probe, sending it to the edge of the solar system, and the fact that it's still functional today .

Redux works through a first-class React feature -- the context api. You can utilize the context api yourself to create modular state wrappers that can exist side-by-side rather than being restricted to a single global store. https:/&#

This is why we need regulation. That type of surveillance should be made illegal.

False dichotomy. Just because Bloomberg couldn't win the nomination does not mean that billionaires do not hold unjustified political power.

Brexit and the yellow-vest riots are proof that what you're saying is incredibly poorly thought out and probably comes from a nationalistic bias. The title "président des très riches" wasn't born out of nowhere, was it?

I think OP is just talking about how only one-percenters have time/money to care and act on these issues. The rest of us are too busy running the rate race to lift our heads up and even notice what's going on in the world. Look at

I'm all for small keyboards, but I don't know how people do it with fewer than 61 keys. I use fn+HJKL for arrow keys (vim bindings), and fn+number row for F1-F12. Having to use multiple modifiers in common situations like that wou

You can try as hard as you want, but there's no stopping a prepared burglar. If someone wants to get into your home, they will absolutely be able to find a way in, not matter how good your lock is.

Everyone's intention is to profit, even the con artist, but the buyer and the seller are providing and receiving goods, meaning they actually have a reason to be involved in this specific trade. One party produces oil, a second party c

Washington died in 1799... Mao died in 1976... And you think we should hold them to the same moral standards?

So are you saying you're not attractive? You don't put the effort in, but she does -- so she's attractive and you're not?

I'm having a hard time understanding this comment. Did you even consider any options outside of Apple's offerings? Are you saying Shiller and his team intended to make you so blinded by Apple products that you wouldn't even c

> They get the money from individuals who are not using healthcare. :thinking-face: That's weird, I use healthcare, and yet I still pay monthly premiums. Can you explain why I don't fit into your explanation?

by viklove 6y ago
No that's not true at all. Receiving a UBI and using the income to take care of your aging parents makes you a giver, not a leech. Your attitude is unhealthy and shows how selfish and narcissistic you are.

Wrong. "Since 1978, and adjusted for inflation, American workers have seen an 11.2 percent increase in compensation. During that same period, CEO’s have seen a 937 percent increase in earnings. That salary growth is even 70 percent fas

Yes, hopefully some executives whose salaries have been increasing far faster than the janitors' salaries for the past 50 years. That's the point!!
