Yeah that doesn't help me understand what you're trying to say. What was your theory that I confirmed?

The opening sentence of the article gives the reason "why": "One could be forgiven for assuming the blockchain tech and crypto industry is a male-dominated field."

I honestly can't for the life of me understand what you're trying to say here. The poster said "They're more carbon neutral than dino diesel." I was simply stating that not only was I not arguing otherwise (if we&#x

I was clarifying in case the author of the comment was unsure what "carbon neutral" means. It's not a comparative term, so it confuses the discussion to use it as such, just as unfunny comments derail discussion.

I don't think linking to a biodiesel lobbying group constitutes as evidence.

The article we're discussing is a good source. Also, Brazil enacted a soy moratorium over ten years ago to combat deforestation. You're limiting your "surprise" to the US, but that's not what I, or the article we&#x

You either are or you aren't, you can't be "more" carbon neutral. And anyway, I'm not asking if it's better for the environment than fossil fuels, I'm asking if the claim that it is carbon neutral is true

So "too big to fail" you mean?

Are they carbon neutral? Sure the initial carbon dumped into the atmosphere to plow the fields is a short term increase, but then you're also deforesting lands to grow them, which permanently adds more carbon into the atmosphere.

I'm not arguing what the global problem is. Condition of the donated clothing is not referenced anywhere in the article. I'm arguing that what the author is saying is largely false.

No argument here. You cherry picked price data and accused me of cherry picking price data.

"No One Wants Your Used Clothes Anymore" Notice that this is in the Opinion column. None of what's said here is even close to true. Plenty of people shop at their local Goodwill or Salvation Army, where clothes are vastly ch

The fall was much quicker than the rise. There was little resistance. No one knows where the price will plateau. This has nothing to do with futures.

If the lack of joy is caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain it absolutely can be prescribed. Cliche nonsense or outdated Biblical advice actively hurts people in this case.

I have to say I disagree with the son of David. If a man has a hundred children and lives many years but cannot enjoy his prosperity, a licensed therapist and possibly medication to deal with depression would be much preferable to being sti

There's a lot wrong going on here. Firstly, Japanese manhole cover t-shirts already exist, I found a bunch on Amazon. Why are these different? Why does this need a kickstarter? The authors of the kickstarter say they are working clos

The self balancing technology in the Segway, revolutionary at the time, paved the way for hoverboards. The forms are changed but the underlying technology is the same. In the same way, Eth and Monero are further iterations of Bitcoin.

No, why are you making claims such as Bitcoin is the new Beanie Babies when you have literally no idea how any of it works?

>As the blockchain grows ever larger the thing gets more and more useless as a currency. Just look at how long it takes a transaction to confirm. Blockchain size and confirmation times are two entirely different things.

But her claims about his business dealings and his sexual fetishes are both unverified claims, so it's circular reasoning to say one helps prove the other.

What exactly are you sharing? It's not illegal to be an asshole. It's also not important to anyone that you knew him years ago and think he's an asshole, so where is the schadenfreude coming from?

I think you're confusing survivorship bias with hindsight bias. If you're not then it's difficult to argue with this, that's simply not the definition of survivorship bias.

You're saying there's no basis for these claims. The basis is the legal complaint, which is publicly accessible. The whole reason the news media is reporting on this is because they now have access to a public legal filing. With

How is the Damore lawsuit embarrassing to Google? From my perspective it's really only embarrassing for him.

"Wong also claims knowledge of a large swath of Levandowski’s personal and business dealings. She does so in great detail, including dozens of overheard names, the license-plate numbers of cars she observed at a Levandowski property, a
