Bitcoin is only going to go up because there are only so many coins to go around...
The price bubble in Bitcoin has brought forth a plethora of other cryptocurrencies, most of them with the same algorithmically limited money supply as Bitcoin. Even putting aside such minutiae as having to figure out what in hell "tethers" are, with each new currency and with each new fork of every existing cryptocurrency, there is an additional new store of possible units that can be created. Instead of a limited money, we are approaching digital Zimbabwe.
But the people who go to Vegas would like be to be able to take the monorail downtown. In between the resorts and downtown there is a stretch of service businesses who could use a fast way to bring in their workers.
When I consulted in downtown SF during the Nineties, BART offered frequent service from downtown to a cemetery not far from the airport. Then you had to wait two hours for the airport bus.
So many decent mass transit ideas have died because they don’t serve the airport, which in every American city is the most obvious place to have a first transit line go.
This is why I want Uber to send the taxi lobby to the bottom of the Styx.
It doesn’t start at the airport, which is exactly where every potential customer for a transit link wants to get on it. And instead of bulleting down the center of the Strip, it weaves around the back of the hotels. Because it crosses the Strip in perhaps two places, it’s easy for people to forget that it exists.
People like the mullahs found the Telegram app to be an ideal tool for the terrorists they promote to exchange encrypted messages. Apparently now it has come back to bite them.
I don't want any of these parasitic corporations sticking their greedy hands into healthcare.
The parasitic corporations are the ones that get self-serving legislation passed to consolidate their monopoly on some aspect of health care. Competitive businesses are the kinds of business we need more of.
The tech sector can make a lot of operational improvements to the system, such as digitizing those paper records, that simply save money and aggravation without fundamentally changing the system. Why should we have to make out those goddamned paper personal record sheets every time we visit a new specialist? All of the data we put down on them, such as our current list of medications, should be in one database that can be accessed to pull down whatever part of the medical record they need. For accuracy, every item in that record that doesn't change should be captured once and never deleted. If the date in my childhood when I had chicken pox is medically important, we shouldn't be running the risk that I will not remember it accurately for the next practitioner.
The jury had to work from a specially edited version of the video that did not show Shaver's confusion at Brailsford's weird orders, which were contradictory at the scene. Standard felony practice is to order the subject to lie still and be cuffed.
I would like to see an investigation of Judge Foster's motivation in excluding both pieces of evidence. Does a ruling of "prejudicial" in this case just mean "might make the side I favor lose?"
What I want to see Silicon Valley bring to healthcare is its willingness to take risks in trying new things and its contempt for legally engrained monopolies.
Your crime rate was historically low, which accounts for the police slackness and the baleful attitude toward self-defense. The legal theory is that fighting crime is not an amateur activity and should be reserved for law enforcement professionals. But in recent years the crime rate has been rising fast, including for murder: https://www.theguardian.com/uk... Ours reached a peak in the Eighties and has been declining since as concealed carry spreads from state to state. As with those Cold War missile silos, thugs are less likely to attack people who could be armed, even though most of us are not.
Yet sadly they are being armed with ex-military equipment*. I have no idea why a podunk police force up the road from me, and in a rural area has need of a mine-proof vehicle
They didn’t need it. They could buy one with the cash they can steal from random people in traffic stops, so they did.
SWAT teams are used to dealing with people who have had SWAT called on them in the past. When the guy who opens the door to them has never faced police action before, blazing lights and barked orders are just going to be confusing. They WILL find some excuse to shoot you.
Because in your country, it’s gine to the opposite extreme: the police basically do nothing, and won’t allow “subjects” (their term) to use self-defense against the thugs either.
The problem we have is the militarization of law enforcement.
Municipal police forces have no business using military tactics. Put all SWAT teams under control of each state’s National Guard, to be invoked only on the word of the governor.
And the reason the jury did not convict in the Brailsford case is that they were not shown the video that is now viral online, nor were they told about the inscription on. Brailsford’s gun. Both cane out after the trial.
Your last paragraph precisely echoes my point, and explains why ransomware works. If you tumble coins through a few fast swaps of one currency for another, the blockchain no longer operates as a tracer and you can get away with whatever form of laundering you want.

Let's develop ways of digesting plastic back to simple hydrocarbons, so we can re-polymerize them into usable new plastics.
Time for plastic roadways! There's already a pilot project in the UK.
Here in Arizona we have rubber freeways. No more ugly, flammable piles of old tires.

Starbucks? Now you have to worry about the filthy, bedbug-infested bums at the public library where your kid is trying to do her homework.
As soon as an Uber for health care arises, I'm downloading the app.

And because they didn’t make an arrest at the scene, they get to steal everyone’s stuff.
California drivers (I grew up in Orange County) once had the zipper merge perfected. Today they seem to have abandoned all discipline.
Sure, but then look at all the cases of ransomware that have no discernable geographic destination.
