The difference is between empathy and compassion. Just because I understand doesn't mean I care.

Not only is your comment misguided, it's also very rudely formulated. Many organizations fear the departure of institutional knowledge that goes hand in hand with retiring baby-boomers. Many investors/corporations also take out li

I do not. I'm in the market for a camera that's the size of the AirPods case so I could bring it on vacation. It'd be great if I could have something like the cameras off of today's latest and greatest phones but in a mu

I purchased the Apple Watch when the cellular version came out. You can bet that my smartphone usage has gone down since I've stopped carrying it around. I get my messages, my calls, and my emails. I can get directions if necessary. I

I'm very curious about how this company is managed. It's an interesting way to structure your offer. Simple with as little commitment as possible. What happens when there are projects that compete for your designers' time?

I agree that governments will try but there are already plenty of countries where merchants will accept USD as well as their local currency.

I think that's a weak argument. All of the currencies listed in the article are limited to local purchases. At first glance they all seem to be paper money as well. They clearly solve none of the problems that concern crypto-enthusiast

I'm having a hard time how digital scarcity a la blockchain will benefit 'artists'. It's not like you can't make a copy of the asset once one person makes the purchase. The scarcity is in the platforms, not the digi

I believe that is called prejudice. Prejudiced people frighten me, their moral considerations so unthorough, and this makes me think I wouldn’t want to deal with someone like you. But I’d give you a chance first.
