    It's mostly appetite suppressing. Affects the perception of hunger and the brain/reward function of eating, which must also be part of what also helps for drug and alcohol addictio…

    It is used for those things I agree. Those things alone do not hold up a $1.5T market cap. I would say they don’t hold up a $1.5B cap either.

    You made a subtle, but important, pivot from the topic of “Bitcoin” to the broader topic of “crypto”. Bitcoin specifically, with its multi-trillion dollar market cap, is built up t…

    Gold is used to make things. You can argue what its value should be as a material alone, but it’s not entirely speculation.

    Memories of the Minneapolis bridge collapse. I lived <1 mile from it at the time it went down, and had crossed it earlier in the day on my commute.

    A cursory Google search on Shell Shock doesn’t resonate with this statement.

    People don't go to GitHub for the Git They go for the Pull Requests, Issues, and general collaboration and workflow tools.

    Airpods Max are 100% everywhere. And not in affluent areas either. I probably see people wear them on public transit most often—and when I visited NY the subway was by far the most…

    I read that they will technically be on payroll until late March. If that's the case, it's not so much accelerated vesting as it is vesting while not being "employed". So same resu…

    Very against the rules. The Packers aren’t savvy here, they just existed long before business interests shut that practice down.

    The part of the housing crash that I was inferring was hidden to most was how deep the credit markets were tied up in housing, to the point where a housing bust meant banks collaps…

    I was young too, but I think the .com bust was far more obvious than the housing crash which snuck up on a lot of people.

    Yeah I'm ambivalent about if what they do is good . I do think that what they've done with Star Wars is better than whatever Lucasfilm did with the franchise between 1983 and when …

    Yeah that was a weird comment. Disney+ is huge , and it got there so fast. It's absolutely dizzying to think how fast they are going to blow past Netflix with Disney+ alone. It mus…
