The miners are providing a valuable service though. They’re verifying transactions in Bitcoin. Without them it wouldn’t be possible to know who owns which bitcoins.
With all the sex metaphors going around and your ferocious insistence that words on a screen are somehow different than words on a dead tree, I’m starting to wonder if you have a literal paper fetish.
You say that like I posted the comic and said “this chart proves everything!” It’s only a graph which illustrates my point: we are experiencing the most rapid change in the past 20,000 years, by a huge margin.
We have two dogs that love to meet other dogs when off the leash, but are total idiots when on the leash. One starts barking and lunging like a maniac, the other hides behind our legs and starts growling like the other dog is the canine anti-christ.
You *should* be skeptical of science. A skeptical mind is a sign of a good scientist, in fact.
More than likely they’ll be bankrupt within 10 years since they never learned how to manage money correctly. Or mooching off their parents for most of their life. Either way I don’t envy them.
It sounds like a serious Type A person heard about meditation and decided they were going to crush all those Type Bs at being the MOST calm and the MOST tranquil.
I can’t imagine “mental retirement” will ever be a thing for me. Too much I want to do. I have 1,000,000 creative projects to work on. Gotta practice chess and go. Study portuguese. Build that “magic mirror” raspberry pi project. Worth through my giant book backlog. Finish installing all those motion sensors and…
It’s fine not to have a “passion”. Some of us are good living simple lives without a need to find meaning in the universe, or build a legacy, or whatever. Enjoy your books! Enjoy your friends! Don’t waste your life being miserable because you’re not Shakespeare or Michelangelo.
If I’m not making an active effort to remember my dreams, I forget them within minutes of waking up. I even forget the fact that I’ve forgotten.
Sweet! Hope I didn’t spoil the surprise
Lucid dreaming is awesome!
If corporations didn’t have to pay that tax, they could use the money to attract job-seekers away from their competitors. Which matters in industries where labor is scarce (software programming, pharmaceuticals, petroleum engineers).
Don’t understand the implication at the beginning of the article that high income inequality leads to a “garbage economy”. Do countries with flatter income distributions have better wage growth? More jobs? Richer poor people?
First you tell me I need to stop buying a new iPhone every month to afford health insurance, now you want to take my $22 breakfast avocado toast? Is nothing sacred to Gen X’ers and Boomers??
That’s just like, your opinion, man.
The ideal sandwich form is actually a burrito. The average fillings are better than a traditional sandwich (beans, rice, guac, salsa, pulled pork > lettuce, tomato, mayo, deli meat), the carb : filling ratio is better, the sauces are better.
It’s fine to have a social welfare program for elderly people who can’t afford retirement. But let’s call it that and have means-tested social security rather than continue this madness of forcing people to save their money with the government rather than invest and save as they please.
