When you learn new skills your old skills slowly degrade. For young people it doesn't matter because they dont have old skills, but for me I have found often I just end up as half-good at the old and new skills, so now choose carefully

Why would a launderer buy an overpriced apt in Vancouver when they could by something sensibly priced elsewhere? Maybe its easier if there are agents that speak foreign languages, but I'd hate to own a $2mil 2br apartment as a safe hav

Why would anyone want to actually spend BTC? The only reason it exists is because it only goes up in value.

Aren't BTC transactions now like $3? Do you have to pay that too every time you use the card? Edit OK it looks like $6 if you want done within a few minutes, presumably the card can do more slowly so is just a few cents. https:/&

I always assumed there would be insecurities in everything you buy and if there weren't backdoors it was normal for spooks in various nations to be able to crack it sooner or later. Using cloud services makes this even more likely. Doe

I tried nextjs because I thought it would be a good way to learn React but I found it really confusing. Is it really better to master React first then try nextjs?

One thing is how can this be a $300B company if there are tiny fees?

Yeah I realize most people are moving to get a raise, I'm trying to remind people that one day you'll be old and you'll be grateful to keep your rate.

True but if it was written in C it never be completed and would likely crash all the time. :) Just be thankful they're not Python.

I have used salary history to get raises though. My current job offered a rate that was less than my previous job, I showed them what I earned and they matched it + a small increment.

I never thought about that. If the police could quickly connect to any parked/moving car and see what its cameras saw that would be like eyes just about everywhere.

While this dumping is horrific you also have to understand how beneficial DDT was: > Between 1945 and 1965, DDT saved millions-even tens of millions-of lives around the world, perhaps more than any other man-made drug or chemical before

If you're running a meeting its great to be able to mute someone though. Would be nice to do that in real life. :)

Yeah check out where IMF headquarters is and who pays for it then tell me again that the IMF is going to let BTC take over from the dollar.

The USA is super strict on making sure every transaction they can control gets monitored and tracked. Any financial firm that touches dollars must comply or they'll get fined literally billions. There is no way BTC will be allowed to g

"is just better" isn't a very good distinction. Do you have an example of something that works only with Google? (I don't like Teslas either btw:-) )

Half the populations of those countries dont even have reliable electricity. There is no chance they're using BTC except maybe for the politicians to launder money from corruption.

Its crazy they didn't talk about testing. In April if you were a 25 year old with a mild cough you couldn't get a test even if you begged for one. Now you can get a test easily, its little wonder the denominator has gone up a lot.
