The money earned from Assassin's Creed isn't by creating value, it's given by others who are creating value. I'm genuinely surprised I'm getting so many people disagreeing with this idea.

Attention has now been made a commodity, so good luck finding peace and quiet if you don't have the money to buy it

Awesome work people

As someone who goes as long as possible without performing updates, this is exactly the reason why.

Example: Last time I updated my iPhone, the music app got an update and now they are trying to shove iCloud down my throat. Not to mention needless UI changes when I was more than satisfied with how it was before.

Wait, I thought GOP was in support of voter ID to suppress voting?

If people trade based upon information asymmetry, then the fact that Bitcoin Cash actually had miners, didn't crash fatally, and was capable of sending transactions constitutes an enormous change in the information landscape.

Pre fork BTC price + risk premium ~ BTC post fork + BCH

Pretend like the fork actually taking place and working successfully as comparable to a company's earning reports. The second that news comes in, it prices itself in almost immediately.

Called off a fork that wasn't going anywhere anyway.

It's not that weird. It's like any exchange of goods, both parties can come out with an advantage by getting something they want. In the case of Bitcoin Cash, 2 sides of the community got what they wanted.

Exactly, the amount of money spent on energy to mine is equal to the amount of mining revenue. Energy consumption is more closely related to price.

Definitely, and in addition to what you mentioned, nobody intentionally buys bad reviews ;)

No. Miners construct blocks that adhere to the protocol rules agreed upon by validating economic nodes (full nodes run by economic participants of the network).

Ask yourself why miners haven't forked to a version of Bitcoin that gives a higher block reward and you'll understand how it works. Nobody would accept these blocks as valid so the money they are "creating" would be worthless.

True, but given this person is 65 with lung cancer, I'd imagine that life expectancy would be much lower, even assuming remission.

So what bad things are women problems? Or is it just men...

It's a hallmark of passive-aggressive behavior. Expect someone to know what you want and subtly imply it rather than just outright saying it, often becoming frustrated when people don't behave the way you want them to.

Are Feelings a Natural Malfunction?

Wow. So if I'm understanding the article correctly, it says that tribalism occurs both naturally and in simulations. However, even though this is the case, we should despise tribalism for some reason that is frankly not exactly clear.

does the depth of cultural self-loathing know no bound?

sounds like a problem with the Bitcoin markets and not a problem with Bitcoin.

Who cares?

The only reason they haven't had contentious forks and there is less bureaucracy is precisely because nobody cares.

So then how did Buffet make his money?

Ironically, Doge had a market cap of over 400 million a few months ago. It is now below 100 million. Does that mean the bubble already happened according to this article?

It's not any fundamentally different than Bitcoin, in fact it's probably better for money laundering than Bitcoin because nobody cares. Furthermore, the market cap was $400MM a few months ago, so does that mean we're still in a "bubble"?

How about this? Instead of saying that it's so obvious and that people are "deliberate" in their ignorance, you present some data that support the hypothesis that this is a racial issue.

If there is a consenting adult who wants to do it, why not? As long as they understand the risks and that success is incredibly unlikely.

I won't say the advice is good, but it's interesting at least.

It's hard to determine how much of something to produce in a planned economy. It's inefficient because the market is incredibly good at figuring this out through the price mechanism.

There's also much less of an incentive to do shitty unethical things if there's a cap on how much you can reasonably make.

But guys, I was told automation would solve all of our problems.

I don't know about other services, but Chrome history is kept for 1 year.

I understand why you're getting downvoted but I think this is a really good point.
