how is this possible

Is there somewhere that explains this concept? When I "receive" something, there still must be trust that I correctly mark it so. By that point, doesn't it require trust, and there…

FWIW, I read it incorrectly the first time too and had to do a double-take. I do think it's not written in the clearest manner.

This on its own isn't enough to refute OP, since it could very well be that the equivalent cost of one of these other historic buildings is even higher. (e.g. cost of skilled slave…

Thank you for such a high quality comment.

Definitely not a _new_ weakness, right? The vast majority of financial wealth is locked up in digital stores, which are even more so in the jurisdiction and immediate control of th…

There are many other artists who can paint. Does not make their art equally valuable.

The no-soap rule came from back when soap contained lye, which does indeed strip the seasoning from cast iron. This knowledge was passed down, and became false as soap changed form…

Thank you for sharing the life experience you've had on your travels, but this is a service based in San Francisco. Discussion would be more productive if scope was narrowed to the…

I strongly disagree. Financially supporting a charity is an extremely good way for someone with a lot of money to give back. The charitable person may not have expertise to distrib…

Seems like a minor bump in the road for a company as huge as Amazon. Barely news.

What real world value to long buyers add? Sure, if you invest and the company takes that investment and does really well with it, the world may benefit from an increase in producti…

How do they prevent ballot-stuffing? (Not trying to invalidate what you're saying, I'm genuinely curious)

Appeal to authority is a logical fallacy--you cannot use appeal to authority to create a rigorous argument. I agree with that. But you can gain some idea of probability that someth…

You understand wrong. And are naive to think that such a simplistic flaw would not be considered by the substantial number of intelligent programmers involved in the Bitcoin projec…

Careful--there is a tendency for engineers to conflate superior technology with the success of a product.

> I would say "sure this stock is 'worth' $500K but if I sell it I'm going to have to pay a huge amount of tax on it and that will net out to a smaller number." I was looking at "l…

Yeah, this is exactly what I thought of too. Searched for "CGP" and there your comment is! :)

I think it's both brave and foolish. Zappos has been very successful and had a clear positive trajectory before holacracy/Teal. Clearly foolish to jeopardize that to such a degree!…
