I maintain nonetheless that yin-yang dualism can be overcome.
With sufficient enlightenment we can give substance to any
distinction: mind without body, north without south, pleasure
without pain. Remember, enlightenment is a function of willpower,

It's easy to see your chosen field as something everyone else should learn the "basics" of, but so can everyone else with respect to their field. The first two years of a college degree have become an incoherent mishmash of well intended requirements that blend together into an apathy inspiring sludge. Then when students struggle to care about classes, or only produce bare minimum to pass work, students are told there is something wrong with them.
As someone who just finished up his 2-year I saw so very much of this. So many want their subject to be required, but then no one wants to be responsible for the negative consequences of their implementation. It's just the student's fault.
Anything can be stolen, but at least investment accounts are insured and my physical goods can be covered by renters/auto insurance.
Between coins getting stolen or lost BTC is just too damn risky. So many seem to think, "Aww, it's just that other guy who got wiped out. That could never happen to me".
In Enron's case perpetrators of that scam went to jail, and at least paid some of the money they lost back. I doubt a person could get a fraction of that amount of justice after getting their Bitcoins stolen.
Bitcoin is really an amazing thing. The ability and ease by which you can send any fraction of money anywhere rather easily is quite an accomplishment. Yet, without any sort of insurance I do not believe this market can stand. Sure you can keep your coins in a paper wallet offline, but those coins have to come back online sometime. When they do, you may just be the victim of just the right 0-day exploit and suddenly all your coins have been sent off to a mysterious Bitcoin address.
Was that the majority of your savings? Too bad, so sad. Feel free to file a police report that will do absolutely nothing though.
And so castles made of sand, melts into the sea eventually.
In my experience, all the people who studied on their own and knew what they wanted to do and before they entered college became distracted and depressed. The filler classes just suck up time, motivation, and money. Then they'd just feel worse and worse for not focusing on their real studies
I delayed my Freshman year until I was 22 just so I could get my parents off my FAFSA only to have those pig fuckers raise the age to 24 on my 21st birthday.
This shit right here is one of the big ways financial aid sucks. Are you a 22 year old who has been living on your own for years? Lulz, your parents are totally going to give you tens of thousands of dollars suddenly to go to school. No need to give you any money.
If there were a good vocational school in my area for finance I'd drop out today.
But that isn't going to happen, so I'll just continue taking bullshit classes to get a piece of paper that says I can start my real education(hopefully) in my last 2 years of college.
At 9am this morning the amendment was withdrawn, and the language of the bill changed to include that employers will be required to pay employees $500 along with any damages should they ask for their social media passwords. So no one is getting their social media passwords taken by employers. See for your self

If you don't believe that then watch the senate themselves withdraw the amendment and change the language of the bill
This amendment never had a chance in hell, and has been put to death.

Because no one calls it that, and it's actual name is cryptocurrency
It's the latency afforded by buying rackspace directly within stock exchanges that poses a problem.

Someone had actually been charged with something rather than just some random guy supposing it could happen.
