Is there much decentralized trust in bitcoin? If you're using it like money, you still have to trust someone will give you goods and that your wallet software isn't going to steal your information. We really are living in strange

I'd like to point out that you're referencing hand picked, extreme examples of a community. There's a massive bias. You have no way of knowing what Tumblr is like based on these examples.

How can you implement such a practice when our politicians and leaders are fat cats (or aspiring fat cats)? Only vote for people below a certain wealth line?

Probably the intuition that a pyramid model investment can't continue indefinitely without some sort of inherent value of the trinket being sold? Then again, maybe that doesn't even matter.

True. There are many more limitations with cash. The most important example might be illegal drug quality. With cash, you can give a friend of a friend some money for drugs. Who the hell knows where they got it from. With crypto, you can bu

Why are bitcoin prices going up? Because there's no reason why they should go down. People who buy bitcoin are largely trying to buy in "early". This raises the price, which makes other people want to be in "early".

- Buying illegal drugs. - Transferring "value" to another person without oversight. That's pretty much it. And the latter wouldn't exist if you couldn't do the former.

I'm never voting for any of these POS public servants. Just unforgivable.

This seems like a very positive trend for community sustainability and I hope it only gets more popular in the future.

Why are you calling a random person's milk preferences meaningless? They just like raw milk. It's not a big deal. I like pink lady apples. Do I need to do a blind test to confirm that? No, I don't.

No excuses for a systemically misogynistic corporate culture. I deleted Uber. You probably should too. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/jun/13/uber-ceo-...

Hey thanks for the tip. Just installed Self Control App to block Reddit. I love that it's open sourced.

If that works for you, then cheers. I get so sucked into Reddit's front page that I just need to avoid it all entirely. With Twitter, I'm less inclined to explore.

Great points. If you stop consuming cable television and take a step back, you can see that pundit news shows and professional sports have so much in common. It's "right" vs "wrong", "red" vs "blue&qu

Stop carrying your smartphone. Leave it at home. If you must because your family/work depends on you, then delete every app. Use your laptop as your main driver. If you need to, get a laptop with better battery life. Start developing a

I'm no real estate expert, but I can confidently say this is a very poor idea. Or more specifically, this will turn out poorly for anyone except the person who collects all the cryptocurrency and runs away.

Great point, but I don't think "directing our evolution towards not having communities" is a desirable goal. This would make people heavily reliant on the largest corporations and that power dynamic would probably turn out te

I was surprised to see someone who cared what style of javascript a program is written in, especially if they aren't an active contributor. Maybe you are?

I had no concept of computer programming growing up. It was playing around with my TI-84 around junior year of high school that exposed me to it. I saw the PROGRAM button so I looked in the calculator manual and started writing TI-BASIC. I

Honestly, I cannot understand this. It's almost funny to me. How did Uber blow such a huge lead in the ride sharing industry? I remember getting an Uber several years ago. The app was gorgeous. The service was prompt. I had not even he
