  9. How to delete a /. post? on Did Octopuses Come From Outer Space? · · Score: 1

    How to delete a /. post, anyone?

    How the fuck did this end up being posted. I've never heard of such nonsense. Even the fact that we can measure genetic divergence should be a good indication that octopi are clearly terrestrial in origin.

    So ... you prefer to keep someone who is incompetent?

    If you find out you made a bad choice, fix it and move on. That's leadership.

    Sounds like Trump's base needs to fix their bad choice, move on, and lead.

  21. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act on Ask Slashdot: What's Your Company's Marketing-to-Engineering Ratio? · · Score: 1

    If the company you worked for was a US company, it sounds like they were in clear violation of the FCPA (Foreign Corrupt Practices Act). US companies are barred from bribing foreign officials. I'm surprised to hear that such illegal acts would be included in the budget. Or perhaps were you working for a non-US firm in a country that does not have a similar law?

  25. Re:Austrian economics on Bitcoin Mining Reward About To Halve · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Sounds questionable to me. Going by the definition on wikipedia:

    "A deflationary spiral is a situation where decreases in price lead to lower production, which in turn leads to lower wages and demand, which leads to further decreases in price.

    If nobody is really pricing goods in bitcoins and nobody is getting paid in bitcoins, how could the feedback cycle that would normally cause a deflationary spiral exist? Even if bitcoins deflate massively, I don't think that necessarily proves the Keyensians right.
