Mental health & physical health are problems easier solved with money.
Most major cities have rent control of some sort, if not, it's not that hard to start new towns with nation wide UBI. There are other places in this country other than SF, LA and NY
Real estate doesn't matter post C19 once office and schools are decentralized further each year.
Why can't we, as a society, come together and take ownership of our data, and sell it back to the companies using our data for profit?
I'm starting to feel behind the curve and I want to learn new stacks like Next.js, Typescript and GraphQL. Anyone else feeling this way or have already gone through that learning curve?
Which worse case takes out a minivan with 6 people in it? (Unlikely)
Why would we need truck drivers in a world of self driving cars?
As chips reach the limits of the cutting edge tech, the only advantage will be how expensive your electricity is rather than replacing chips every 12 months
If you still think Bitcoin is a fad or toy, just wait until summer 2020 when the supply shock makes 2017 look like a blip.
There isn't enough computing power available to 51% attack a chain that comes close to justify the $1 billion dollar "bounty" on this transaction.
I'm building some software on using it is kind of cumbersome
The 1st only extends to what you can say on your personal property.
There is a reason you can't yell "FIRE" in a crowded theater, it's because you are infringing on the property rights of the people who bought a ticket to the movie, and the landloard who is expected to keep everyone safe.
You don't have any property rights to any other human other than your own body by default.
That being said, the future will be filled with AR glasses with the nude version on default and that's going to be very weird.
Why would they? their whole plan from the beginning was to do a reverse Uber - a fleet of self driving cars that acts as a taxi service.
Cost of a model 3 to TSLA: 25k
Average Revenue per year for self driving taxi: $12/hr * 24 * 365 = 105k
Producing just 100k cars a year for this program would generate 10B dollars a year in revenue, if they can make 1M cars a year, it's 100B... making TSLA a trillion dollar company even with a Ford valuation.
Most of that revenue will be more profitable than a gas powered car since they also own an energy company, and the software that runs the cars.
(Very glad I got a reservation worth of stock when the Model 3 was announced a few years ago, so I am biased)
I was confused too
The number of transactions today are as high as January 2018, but the fees never been any lower.
If that isn't progress, what is?

I tried two different emails... looking forward to using your service!
Replace "data" with "money", and "USA" with "anywhere in the world"... do you see any value in that?
I think they need to get it down to 10M to be viable worldwide
