As someone who builds websites for money, I couldn't agree more. I rarely get to bill for making incremental changes, I get to bill for implementing features. Spending money to imp…

AMD should thank Nvidia for failing to produce enough cards to meet demand.

> Everybody knows the technology is not ready And by what standards are you gauging its not ready? My point was if you wait until it becomes "safe enough", you'll be waiting foreve…

As good as a human at what? It's 100% better at not falling asleep behind the wheel or driving while under the influence which statistically are the most common cause of traffic ac…

We don't yet have evidence that Tesla's using Autopilot are any less safe than human drivers. We do have plenty of examples of traditional auto makers negligently ignoring safety r…

No offense but this is exactly the attitude that inhibits progress and led the auto industry to languish in mediocrity for years. If you wait until the technology would prevent all…

I see little distinction between a shitcoin ICO and a fart app on the App Store. A fool and their money are easily parted.

I find nothing righteous about a system designed for a select few to profit from maintaining the illusion our money is safe and secure in a vault somewhere. That illusion has alrea…

What's so righteous about the status quo that makes skeptics feel so compelled to defend it so vehemently by degrading Bitcoin? But it seems we should be far beyond Denial and Ange…

I'd personally much rather pay higher fees when there is a high network volume than constantly paying fees for the privilege of using an ATM, or servicing my online account, or pro…

Initially I think due to disruption to banking and government monopolies. Outrageous fees, pitiful interest rates, and financial services only accessible Monday through Friday 9-5 …

Unpopular opinion around here, but Bitcoin. The idea that we have technology now which can help address global wealth inequality just makes me happy.

In my opinion, distributed ledgers and mutable blockchains based around trusted actors are business as usual and frankly not very interesting. Bitcoin could actually make everyone'…

Your perception of technology changes as you age. Anything new in your teens and 20s is hailed as a innovation sure to change the world in profound new ways. In your 30s-40s, weird…

Depending on where you live, house destroying disasters like earthquakes, floods, and storms have similarly fatal consequences but are statistically more likely to occur. My point …

If you're going to be worried about everything that has a small chance of failing and injuring you, I'm sorry to say you're currently living in a minefield. But statistically you'd…

It seems like America doesn't have an appetite for long term, sensible policies. We pass common sense legislation, fail to ever adjust them based on how they work in practice or wh…

Most can get on board with recognizing the difference between someone who just recently came illegally who might have a criminal record versus someone who is law abiding, has been …

My better half primarily watches E! (Keeping up with the Kardashians), HGTV, Food Network, etc. All have full episodes online, but require the cable subscription login dance. Even …

The question is whether he was obliged to inform the congressional committee they were reopening the case. I would think they'd FIRST do a preliminary investigation to determine if…

Are you really blaming financial instability on "unsophisticated investors"? Not on automated, high speed traders able to liquidate stocks and topple markets in seconds? Not on rec…

The buses in LA are awful. They're subject to the same traffic commuters deal with AND also makes stops every couple blocks. The questionable cleanliness and sharing tight quarters…

Exactly. It's amazing such a beloved and iconic example of game design art began as merely an attempt to recreate a screenshot. No lengthy design documents, no big ideas, no gray b…

The subsidization by networks is key in keeping people in a short upgrade cycle, and reducing the likelihood of switching to a cheaper Android phones. It's no doubt Apple people wo…

Command line is modern day voodoo. There are ton of commands, each with a specific use, each with own their specific incantation, which can mixed in extremely powerful ways. But my…
