Just like any other authoritarian state
When China is more open than you, you've got a problem
Money is not created through fractional reserve banking. Money is loaned into existence by commercial banks. Similarly Coinbase can sell you coins which don't exist. Like a bank it doesn't have to make good on this IOU…
The author admitted in her opening that she doesn't understand the point of decentralization. Reading anything beyond that point is a waste of time.
This is just the same old keynesian fallacy. You can only consume if you produce. If we produce nothing it doesn't matter how much money we have. There is nothing to consume.
Politics doesn't select for altruism. Politics requires lying, bribing and stealing so it's no wonder the very scum of the earth ends up in positions of power (same for most NGOs executives BTW). Power corrupts, so you…
Clearly false as there is no regulation to prevent the formation of very large companies (anti-trust laws don't apply). In fact companies tend toward giant behemoths in part BECAUSE of government regulation. Small…
Yes and he acknowledges that by saying they are "really HARD" to find. Clearly after 25 years in the industry he didn't wait for you to point out that reliable talented artists don't usually come cheap. He's simply…
I started reading his sample chapter on refactoring and I'm constantly put off by some really rookie mistakes and bad code practices like naming a function after nouns instead of action verbs (e.g. "amountFor" instead…
Something made of straws comes to mind.
Somehow I don't think you know much about medieval serfdom. While the serf was not allowed to leave neither was the lord allowed kick the serf out of his land. The only way the lord could "fire" a serf was to sell the…
There is never going to be enough information and no matter how you slice the data you have it will always be arbitrary and biased. This whole debate is silly.
Something tells me you don't understand financial markets.
The rest of what you wrote is silly. Social media websites are not charities. They don't have to provide you with a service if you are not willing to compensate them with your data.
Aww that's cute!
You mean stable like the US dollar which went from $35 per ounce of gold when Nixon closed the gold window to $668 ten years later? By contrast the aureus, the solidus, the fiorino and many other metal based currencies…
"That site was created by Taxpayers Protection Alliance which a Koch front group." So what? Ad hominem fallacy? When the municipal broadbands fail taxpayers are on the hook for million dollars bail outs.…
Government running commercial enterprises. Now that's a recipe for success! http://munibroadbandfailures.com/
When has the Russian government ever said the US was the enemy? The only saber rattling sound is coming from Washington.
You could say a lot worse about many US allies. Saudi Arabia anyone? Human rights are irrelevant when the US government decides who is an enemy and who is an ally.
How about none of them? Your premise is wrong.
Except Russia doesn't give a rat's ass about little you. The NSA on the other hand...
What a wonderful Orwellian world we live in! Government agencies that develop dangerous hacking tools which end up in the wild are the good guys and the anti-virus company who finds them out is the vilain of the story.
