  1. Re:Gig work ... on Why Hasn't The Gig Economy Killed Traditional Work? (npr.org) · · Score: 1

    That's contracting, not gig economy.

    That's like saying my 6 month software engineering contracts are 'gig ' economy, but that's not what it means at all.

  2. People are tired. on Why Hasn't The Gig Economy Killed Traditional Work? (npr.org) · · Score: 1

    Because running around, not having a schedule, not having insurance, constantly looking for work, is exhausting, and the people who had just entered the work forces when day laboring, sorry, I mean "Gig economy" started are tired of it.

  3. Blockchain feels like there should be a better killer app. When reading the white papers I feel like there is some idea just out of reach.

    I suspect someone smarter the me will come along and figure something else out. Then all of us will be like That's obvious!

  4. Blockchain will never make banks obsolete.

  5. Re:Did the author not know how transactions work? on Bank of America Tech Chief Is Skeptical of Blockchain Even Though The Company Has the Most Patents For It (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    " back currency"

    hmmm... no, no it does not do that.

  6. The Internet has improved society in many ways, and 'surveillance capitalism' goes back decades prior to the internet.

  7. blockchain ins't anonymous. In fact, there are companies that exist for the sole purpose of finding out who did what and when.

  8. Re:Quick! Send up another one! NOW! on First All-Female Spacewalk Canceled Because NASA Doesn't Have Two Suits That Fit (npr.org) · · Score: 1

    " it would just take 12 hours to bring it up to usable spec for use in this space walk."

    not true at all.

  9. Oh, using the Nirvana fallacy to make an ad hom? How adorable.

  10. NASA project generate revenues, start new industries, and by things from current company's.

    This helps with all those problems you listed.

    Yo do know they do not literally burn the money to launch a rocket, right?

  11. Defensive much?

  12. Any means you say?

    Fine, we need 50 billion budget, and congress doesn't get to dictate which companies we use, as long as they are American companies.

  13. Because of budget and will that why we haven't been back. Also we went there more then once, and the ships and radio was tracked around the world.

    Plus footage, and the fact we have shit on the moon.

    Go back to your bigfoot/flat earth/ anti vaxx facebook page and stay away from here.

  14. Re:"By any means necessary" - impossible on Mike Pence Tells NASA To Accelerate Human Missions To the Moon 'By Any Means Necessary' (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    the NASA bureaucracy is fine.

    Increased budget is what they need. Along with less oversight.

  15. The Saturn V was designed with Mars in mind. Moon, then Mars. It was a good plan and we could do it again, you know, if it had proper funding.

    Sure, give me 5 minutes and I'll twist something to mean that, it's pretty trivial thing to do with vague metaphors.

  17. I'm not a huge fan of the US MIC, but that's not a great comparison for many reasons. China Government doesn't have the same restriction regarding rights the US military does.

  18. No, it's doesn't have plenty of money.

    Every time someone derides the SLS, I know one thing for sure: That person doesn't know WTF they are talking about and are just complaining to feel like the matter.

  19. "NASA has about the same funding (adjusted for inflation) it did in the 60s "

    No it doesn't. They has 43 BILLION when adjust for inflation. They currently have 18 billion.

    Try again.

    "Technology has cut the costs significantly, "

    again, incorrect.

  20. the debt clock is wildly misleading and is only used by people ignorant of how government economics and financing works.

  21. "Grow a brain."

    Really, child?

    A wall along the southern border is nothing like a wall around a house. Nothing at all. The fact you need to to this wildly inaccurate non sequitur tell me you really ave no idea what you are talking about. How many peope land and homes were taken when the built a wall around Nancy Pelosi's house? How many rivers did the need to change? How many 100's of miles are empty desert on her land? HOw many human being die trying to get to her home?

    Go back to reddit, child.

  22. Good thing there is only one ladder and you are ignoring tunnels.

    You really don't know anything about patrolling that border, do you?

  23. Knowledge, technology, industry, develop stepping stones throughout the solar system.

  24. No, it would have happened because they had good reasoning for their decisions.

    It was all literally new. Never done before stuff.

    Stupid would have been not learning from it.

  25. Ignorant. Not stupid. Same as the door design.
