Yes, note how the immigration diverges from the domestic population growth in the late 60s, the same time house price growth diverges from wage growth. >What are you talking about 'flood gates' ? You tell me, I didn't writ

Housing and pay diverged because we opened the border in the middle of the last century: supply for labor went way up along with demand for housing and other essential services. Combine that with some poor decisions by the Fed and you have

The US is dead; she was dealt a mortal blow in the late 60s and succumbed to her injuries around 2004. What's left is the slow decay that will take many decades. That people continue to volunteer and fight for the country surprises me

Don't forget that traditional banks consume lots of energy as well. Their armies of employees and tellers are required to drive an hour or so every day, they maintain tons of physical buildings, truck around piles of physical currency

Last time I sent money to someone internationally Etherium really was pretty convenient. The Coinbase fees were a little high but otherwise it was near instantaneous, I already had some anyway, and I didn't have to deal with any real h

On rethinking my statement I've realized I should encourage the Californians to stay in California and not spread communism to the rest of the country. So yeah, you can't escape the bad things by moving, stay there.

Housing in SF is crazy expensive, commuting takes ages (and we've shown it's a complete waste) and a lot of people probably don't even want to live in California. Forget snacks, the amount of money you save by not living ther

I think it's not only possible, but that the US government has been infiltrated by people who want it to happen and are doing their best to push Russia into a nuclear war.

How do you do shared secret authentication in this model? I know cert based auth is far better but today many apps rely on some kind of shared secret auth. Don't you by definition trust eg LDAP/IPA servers then? EDIT: In case it&#

At the end of the day the Russians can even run their own exchanges. They have fuel and food, they're self sustaining.

S/MIME could work well but the CA Cert situation doesn't allow it for normal people.

That's really not a great idea on Linux. A ton of stuff is handled in userspace. There's really no better way to distribute Linux apps than source code.

> It’s a minority of mostly white progressives pushing this stuff. I think if you look a little closer you'll find that many members of that "white" minority are in fact not White (or Hispanic, Black, or Asian.)

The same is true in the US but reality doesn't matter.

Recently we were forced to watch an "ethics" video that essentially told everyone "picking White men for your team is wrong, don't do that." I guess now that Whites are becoming minorities in most of their countries

"The Ukraine" is an area. It's the land between Russia and the rest of Europe (it literally translates to "borderland.") The country of Ukraine was named after it. Furthermore: The Article is added when territories

Countries have borders, we invest a lot of money in our children and people and would like a return on that investment. In order for that to be possible we have to reject the people who would abuse the system.

I personally have given up playing Minecraft the official way (this coming from someone who paid for the game 10 years ago and has hosted multiple private servers.) First they destroyed the launcher, replacing with some Chrome based garbage

Has vs had. I suppose you could say the races that were former slaves are now given an artificial advantage but I wouldn't go so far as to call it a caste system.

Obviously your ancestors aren't British so there's something to the "where are you really from" question. I've been asked similar things even as a White American.
