That’s a false equivalence. Yes the USD could be worth $0 but the chances of that are infinitesimal in comparison to the chance that crypto will be worthless.
You have no evidence on which to base an assertion of bitcoin’s most likely future value. Past performance is not an indication of future performance.
The only surety is that crypto will consume egregious amounts of energy in the course of producing absolutely no value.
The thing is, in a year’s time bitcoin could be worth $200k or it could be worth $0.
Trump loved crypto because he grifted with some NFTs and then he needed support to win an election. That’s done now so we’re 1 brain fart away from a royal decree that crypto is bad.
People don’t sell up all their shares because they have enough to retire on.
At the risk of sounding uneducated, I wasn’t to say I don’t think I’ve ever read a 45 minute article.
I mean most days I would spend at least that much time reading technical advice or commentary, but not an “article”.
Who will do all the things though? ChatGPT can’t clean my toilet or wash my dishes.
Also, what is the point of being wealthy and powerful if there’s no one to rule over?
Yeah correlation is not causation.
These couples might both work more than the control cohort. Any number of explanations.
I hadn’t heard of CBC. I consume a lot of BBC content. Also maybe check out ABC (Australia). These public broadcasters produce some great journalism IMO.
I get this type of intrusive thought. I think there’s a french phrase for this “l’appel du vide” or call of the void. I think it’s quite common actually.
No. There’s a reason cheap apartments in China have enclosed balconies.
This is my understanding, and rightly or wrongly it’s the theory underlying the artistic license supporting popular fiction like the star trek and star wars universes.
Obviously my views are supported by confirmation bias, but in the only ecosystem we know of the hominid body plan is the most successful.
Things would be different in different environments, like higher gravity or ocean planets, but in the absence of any data about those the safe bet is that most intelligent life looks similar to us.
People would 100% correct you if you use an alternative system.
I mean you’re right, but it’s not very enthralling.
It’s mostly the contentious political questions that hit the front page.
The model the US uses […] places the start of each season on the solstices and equinoxes which means that midsummer is actually the start of summer there.
We do meteorological here in Australia so December to February style. I had no idea there were places that put the equinox as the start.
That said, dividing the year into 4 seasons has always seemed very reductive to me. Our local indigenous aboriginals describe the weather in 6 seasons. People who have spent a life time observing the weather in the course of earning a living can describe what changes in patterns to expect from month to month. Of course, this knowledge is only applicable locally.
… it’s dead though?
I just sync a folder with syncthing and use native markdown editors.
On a desktop I like zettlr. On android I like zettel notes. Both have zettelkasten features which is pretty much just a way to link to other files.
While higher prices cab make products more appealing, that is not the primary reason why vegan products are more expensive.
Correct. That’s precisely why producers of meat patties can still be profitable at a much lower price point.
It’s social media, who’s making scientific postulates?
I dislike the use of the term “wrong” in this case immensely.
Everyone ought to be able to decide what to do with their own body, free from judgement. That includes whether to grow a fetus, and the decision making process is completely irrelevant.
It’s wrong to opine what’s right and wrong regarding someone else’s bodily autonomy.
If the question was, “if you were pregnant and you were told your child was going to be severely disabled, would you seek an abortion” the answer is “most likely”.
