How are they headed for hard times? I'm genuinely uneducated on the matter and want to know more.

Everybody here has an idea of why this occurs and they all mention packaging. Did you see inside a McDonalds kitchen? They use plastic trays to cook and hold foods instead of stainless steel we would see in high end restaurants. I am certa

It hasn't become more congested. The providers throttle on purpose to reduce costs.

I remember when I tried LTE for the first time and was blown away by huge speeds. Thing is none of this matters when plenty of clients use the same system and the provider decides to throttle all of them.

This is why there is a huge gold rush in Quebec. We have cheap electricity year long and cheap cooling 9 months of the year.

Funny thing is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) tackles black and white ways of thinking. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_behavioral_therapy Another article was posted on Hacker News talking about Woebot. It

Depends what the cost of electricity is, how efficient machines are and network hashrate (directly influences difficulty). By my calculations prices could go down to 3kCAD and it would be breakeven for me in Quebec. That is not factoring d

I did 3m06s in a pool, very much like those apnea competitions. I had a spotter and people around me in case something went wrong. For me the idea of controlling my body and mind to do such a feat felt like a huge accomplishment. It require

I have used Woebot to escape the grasp of depression. Multiple life challenges occurred at the same time (health issues, death, divorce, restructuration, etc...). Woebot helped me change thought patterns that kept me from getting help and i

For those who can't watch. Some games were scored in increments of 5 and he somehow got a score finishing with an 8. Many scores were ridiculous like 650000 for a game that goes in increments of 100 and the second highest video verif

There isn't very much curcumin in turmeric. About 2% by weight. It would take 4.5grams of dried turmeric to get the same dose from the study. Admittedly it doesn't talk about bioavailability of turmeric powder.

There is a backlash to this ancient mode of thinking. It's called Conscious Leadership and it's predicated on the idea that vulnerability brings better results and that you need a safe environment for the dynamic to flourish. Som

I stopped playing Clash Royale despite finding it a wonderful game because it's essentially pay to win. I would love to play a game similar to that one where the odds aren't stacked against the poorest of the players. Where you

We have more and more remote workers around the world. A few of them are being paid with cryptocurrency already, saving a lot of headache for them.

I get that this doesn't happen every day but I paid for a certified check. Their method for certifying it involved 5 people and will take a few days before it clears. People do certified checks whenever they buy a house, a car or trans

I live in Canada but even when I lived in France banks were silly. I remember asking them to close an account and they said "Oh no... once you open an account we never close it."

Today I went to one bank to transfer 60k from one account to an account in a different bank. I paid 7.50$ to get a certified check from Bank A. Went to the Bank B near my house to deposit it there. Unfortunately the branch near my house i

He's saying Bitcoin is shit by using example another cryptocurrency as his example. This is simply disingenuous.

Under 1000$ I did a life design workshop in Montreal for 40$. In just 3 hours I figured out what I really wanted in my life. Thanks to the workshop I now make 300$ more a month on a side project, moved to a house with a jacuzzi where I can

I'm pleased to see this happen. It's always going to be tough for a victim to come forward but now it's ever so slightly less so.

This is the reason I'm considering going back to consulting. I could work less hours yet create lots more value and have plenty of time to rest, read and have healthy activities.

Will this have an effect on the price of BTC? Anyone have any idea or can speculate as to what happens on December 10th?

This sounds more like a vim versus emacs, dynamic versus static type argument to me. I see Bitcoin as a new form of gold that is more easily transferred and stored. Does he object to gold as well?

I connected to the internet with a 14.4k modem and I'm connected to fiber today. Bitcoin is in its infancy. It's a matter of time until it reaches the levels we require for handling all the transactions that we want to happen.

I'm of the opinion that BTC will actually increase relative to all other currencies if a market crash occurs. I expect people to see a huge influx of people purchasing BTC when they see the market start its tumble and then we'll
