You 6 days ago: >I lived in Downtown Hartford until last month, I don't recall many, if any bikes on roads. Then again, I do recall traffic being generally unsafe, I definitely wou…

How could they roll out this marvelous new idea so quickly. Uber was genius to think of this radical concept, "splitting a cab," there is no way Lyft could come up with it so quick…

Congrats, you've exposed the failings of human logic and ethics!

Libertarians view of government is, 'I want to be allowed to do whatever I want while everyone else is restricted to doing what I want them to do.' It's a dumb ideology that falls …

I'll agree mission critical software exists. I however imagine there are far more engineering projects across the planets whose failure result in mass casualties than software. The…

You're dumb. Please read an actual book on economics not associated with Mises or his filth.

Their early versions looked closer to a blackberry. The general Jobs assertion is that Google switched to full touch screen after seeing the prototypes.

Theory is dumb when all empirical data disagrees with it. Good thing the Austrian's figured this problem out by ignoring data. It's the true hacker's way.

When a levy breaks people die. Software maintenance and damage is nothing compared to real engineering.

Inflation isn't bad and the only people that think it is are goldbugs with no understanding of economics. Asset backed currency have had MANY more crashes than fiat currencies. Bit…

Congrats, you're a literal child! In turns out in-depth information takes time to properly explain and discuss. If you want a 10 minute summary that teaches you nothing, watch a TE…

'I'm not interested in this, i'm not on the west coast.' Y'all should learn where a majority of America's food comes from if you think this doesn't affect every American.

This is sort of a misunderstanding of evolution. It's not building to the most efficient or the greatest form of anything. It's spontaneous change that may or may not survive with …

So it's exactly like USD only: few accept it, there is a fee to transfer money in any reasonable amount of time, it isn't backed by any country, all of the exchanges are regularly …

The SCOTUS generally doesn't comment on cases they don't accept. At best it's a comment on issues with the challenge's standing. This isn't a nefarious scheme. This is judicial nor…

Which why it's awesome that it's 2013 and anywhere worth being has WIFI.

It's 2013 and most people's data is in the cloud rather than on local devices? Just because something is capable of doing something doesn't mean it should. A Truck is capable of st…

Also the entirety of respected academics in economic, philosophy, and literature. Those guys probably aren't important.

Friedman is a hack ignored by anyone with half a brain. Same with Ayn Rand. They say incredible things, if you don't spend much time thinking about it.

Delusions of Grandeur aren't either.

Not really germane to the topic, but I really dislike people that pitch their company as, " for ." I get it lets you easily convey what you do since it's really just an improve ver…

That's the point.

Get back to me when Stop and Frisk like laws affect people in the suburbs.

Fuck poor people am I right? They should be forced to live in anguish because of their poor decision of not being born into a well off family.

This isn't news. It's been known for decades the government spied on the Civil Rights movement. Which is what makes the reaction to PRISM so laughable. The only reason anyone cares…
