>There is such focus on being tolerant regardless of sexual orientation, but many more people face much greater discrimination on a wider variety of issues So you think you know mo…

Katherine Johnson is a badass. I need to watch Hidden Figures!

Is there much decentralized trust in bitcoin? If you're using it like money, you still have to trust someone will give you goods and that your wallet software isn't going to steal …

I'd like to point out that you're referencing hand picked, extreme examples of a community. There's a massive bias. You have no way of knowing what Tumblr is like based on these ex…

How can you implement such a practice when our politicians and leaders are fat cats (or aspiring fat cats)? Only vote for people below a certain wealth line?

Probably the intuition that a pyramid model investment can't continue indefinitely without some sort of inherent value of the trinket being sold? Then again, maybe that doesn't eve…

True. There are many more limitations with cash. The most important example might be illegal drug quality. With cash, you can give a friend of a friend some money for drugs. Who th…

Why are bitcoin prices going up? Because there's no reason why they should go down. People who buy bitcoin are largely trying to buy in "early". This raises the price, which makes …

- Buying illegal drugs. - Transferring "value" to another person without oversight. That's pretty much it. And the latter wouldn't exist if you couldn't do the former.

I'm never voting for any of these POS public servants. Just unforgivable.

>regulate the capitalist wet dream American culture really comes down to this. The driving force behind our "leaders" is a blind will to dominate and hoard wealth. It feels like we…

Why are you calling a random person's milk preferences meaningless? They just like raw milk. It's not a big deal. I like pink lady apples. Do I need to do a blind test to confirm t…

No excuses for a systemically misogynistic corporate culture. I deleted Uber. You probably should too. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/jun/13/uber-ceo-...

Hey thanks for the tip. Just installed Self Control App to block Reddit. I love that it's open sourced.

If that works for you, then cheers. I get so sucked into Reddit's front page that I just need to avoid it all entirely. With Twitter, I'm less inclined to explore.

Great points. If you stop consuming cable television and take a step back, you can see that pundit news shows and professional sports have so much in common. It's "right" vs "wrong…

This was an amazing talk. Wow!

Stop carrying your smartphone. Leave it at home. If you must because your family/work depends on you, then delete every app. Use your laptop as your main driver. If you need to, ge…

This is terrifying!! AHH!!!!

It seems like one of the main reasons to get a voice assistant is to increase productivity. Is it worth the cost?

I'm no real estate expert, but I can confidently say this is a very poor idea. Or more specifically, this will turn out poorly for anyone except the person who collects all the cry…

Great point, but I don't think "directing our evolution towards not having communities" is a desirable goal. This would make people heavily reliant on the largest corporations and …
