If a cryptcurrency grows large enough to be the size of an economy, the value of the cryptocurrency should grow or shrink with the economy, like a stock market index. At that point keeping money in the cryptocurrency should be similar to ke

That would be an argument against stock market and interest rate as well. If a significant number of companies waited those 3 months to invest, there would be no deflation. The deflation will be the same as the increase in a stock market in

There's plenty of people who does revolutionary work after their 30s. Look at current nobel prize winners in physics for example. Many of them weren't young when they did their most important work. I read an article about this som

Where I live you need a copy of your passport to port a number, in addition the new sim can only be sent to your government registered address, I think that would be quite hard to game. Even so, hackers can still use SS7 to hijack phone num

If you're in a rich country, you're still very likely to get very poor rates through friends and family as a teenager, around 1-10% of market rate for a college graduate, at least that's my experience, but maybe I just sucked

Perhaps the compiler could be optimized using deep learning. Isn't basically the problem that it has to go through a search space that's too large to find an ideal solution?

Huge amounts of the cost of clinical trials could in theory be cut by automating many of the tasks. A lot would be done if all computer systems across hospitals (and lab equipment) could seamlessly talk to each other, medical records were c

Objectively useless and destructive drug is quite a statement, when there is a lot of research that suggests it can have positive effects. It doesn't kill you, nor does it irreparably alter your personality in a completely senseless wa

Most interviews I've been to have been the same. I was talking about the ones where you have to solve some tricky algorithm questions at a whiteboard while someone is staring at you. I have no problem doing that in front of my colleagu

Damn Uber is cheap where you live. For me to go to work it would be Uber: $1000 a month, 15 minute drive. Train: $75 a month, takes 5 minutes

I've had similar experiences, but I don't think they're anything other than internally generated by the brain, especially since I've also been able to morph what I've seen into other objects at will. I've also
