No it isn't. Greece happened do to too little regulation in the lending market, and people abusing the lending market. SO called experts in the lending industry lied, and Greece made decision based on those lies. THAT is what happened. However members in the media in the US turned it into an anti-social policy meme
"and the soldiers were selected from the fittest of the population" haha ha. They pretty much took everyone. The medical exemption probably applies to less the 15% of the population.
And you're premise ignores the many, many factors in good health.
", a review is the peer review of an aggregate of studies." absolutely not. a review is in no way a peer review. It's a reviews or maybe a meta study. Both are good for very specific things.
And published in NAS does not necessarily mean peer review, or a good study. Some sloppy stuff in the last 10 years has appeared.
As some one who has actual driven for and got change made min the government, it more appropriate to say: You are a lazy SOB who would rather make false accusations then actual expend any energy trying to actually create change.
Incorrect. Shocking to find an incorrect understand of an economic principle on slashdot~
Backing means that through the rule of law, a dollar bill is guaranteed to be exchangeable for one dollar's worth of goods and services. If it had no backing, other countries would lend up money.
bitcoins have value because they are backed by the dollar.
A fiat-money currency loses value once the issuing government refuses to further guarantee its value. That is also a form of backing money.
What the poster is talking about, although they don't know it, is Chartalism.
It ahs no protections and its a pyurmid. It also coulod never support a middle class. Byt it's nature it favors on group over others.
It's like if everyone had a printing press the printed dollars, that kinda of worked. But if you bought 1000's of dollars in equipment, then your printing press works more.
Which then leads to complete separation of actual work and money. It also remove people who can not afford the technology to support it from the equation. I'm not sure how you are going to pay a maid who doesn't have a computer. For example.
"Feel free to laugh at people who are using a next-generation financial system. It" How about I laugh at people who clearly have no clue how macro economies work. You have no protection. If I were to steal your bitcoins, you could not go after me for theft. And it has happened with bitcoin before.
"FYI financial regulations do apply to Bitcoin exchanges as they would any other online currency exchange" Someone is lying to you, because they are not regulate like other currency exchanges. Not at all.
The big issue with gambling sites is that you have no way to confirm the risks.
I could create a poker site to use an algorithmic that favors the house. How would you know? I can have my friends playing at tables and when they are logged in, it tilts the deal into their favor.
These, and other, cheats only require temporary and slight changes to have a bigger long term impact. You can also use social engineering.
Its' a scam becasue by it's nature, it can not be a large economic currency but people who are doing it consistently push it as the next thing, and everyone should get in. You also have no legal protections with bitcoin.
In most states, the machine a Chuck E. Cheese, and other places, ARE regulated like gambling. You know thos crane machine? the need to meet a criteria of winning. Lets say, for this example they must have the odds of 1:10. form 9 out of 10 tries, there isn't enough force in the grip to win.
Control and regulation. And the stock market isn't gambling like gamin is gambling. The fact that you don't understand the differences tells me you haven't read anything beyond headlines on this issue.
Casinos seldom use cash. Some never use cash. It's all tokens called chips. The fact that you can turn bitcoins into dollars means that, yes, the US regulates it.
You should really have a lawyer look into the governments view of token when gambling.
Ever wonder what prostitute don't take a token that can be exchanges elsewhere as cash. A place that also sells tokens? Cause it's still illegal.
These do dads is what will bring you more bandwidth. The more a large percentage of consumers use it, the more ISPs will make available. This doesn't me you need to use them. If it wasn't for people wanting media, we would all still be using 1 mb connections.
If you want more bandwidth, it's available. I suspect what you want is more bandwidth for the same price.
Because you right slow witted, ignorant shit like this: "when someone steals our shit and we KNOW they stole it, we confront them ourselves without police involvement. If they don't give it back we smash their teeth in with a baseball bat. That's how I got my bicycle back,.. as the dude was in the middle of painting it over... I walked up, bat in hand, and dude gave it right back claiming someone sold it to him (yea? then why paint it over?)"
And reading the rest of your history, you seem to favor strawman. and you go out of your way to blow any anti MS post way out of proportion.
"That's about all you need to know about Clinton and the Internet." Sure, if you are a biased moron and got all your information from/. headlines.
The Clipper CHip was about creating secure communications. In 1993 he talked about it, and it's a good idea. Then the flaws of it were presented, and concerns rolled in and he stopped prompting. It was dead by 1996.
And a president singed an Veto proof bill? shocking. I like how you overlook his pressure to add, what became, section 230.
If you boil any presidency down to a few out of context things, you are being stupid.

"MIND YOUR OWN BEESWAX!"

Bullshit. Stevia was granted GRAS status years ago.
I'm not sure why you thinking something that is used else where i safe, and should be allowed just becasue ti's used elsewhere.

Read up and get back to me.
No.
The US dollar has backing and control. It couldn't be a globe currency without it.
Slashdot and economics. Never has there been a group of people this confident about a subject they know nothing about.
It ahs no protections and its a pyurmid.

Talking about a tech item found at CES doesn't belong on /.? Seriously?
There have been some article that have exactly nothing to do with tech or science I would argue don't belong on /.
But this? yes it certainly does.

frankly, it's becasue you troll.
Actually, take that idea and put it into elderly care facility. So people in the front office know whose light is on or not, and then check on them.
Add it to a motion detector.
