Hmm, I can agree that the soviets have blood on their hands but not that atheism is a religion or that atheists believe in magic. That seems like a strange position to take.
I didn't say they're a technology company, I said they're a disruptive technology. Was Amazon a technology company 10 years ago? No, and yet they changed the face of retail. Now, Walmart is playing catch-up. Therefore: disruptive technology. Same with Uber and taxis.
It's an interesting story because it means getting Uber cars on the road in places they haven't got to yet. I live in one of those places so I hope it works out and they come to me.
It has to be risky for Uber, I'm imagining that Africans who want to be Uber drivers don't have much in terms of credit scores.
You're missing the point. You're comparing BTC to USD and saying that when the market fluctuates in favor of USD you're losing money holding BTC. That's true but by the same token you are losing money by holding USD when it goes the other way.
I agree that USD is a more convenient currency, I can't pay my rent or buy groceries with BTC.
If you haven't realized that banks are evil by now than I won't convince you. You've lived through a 7 year (and counting) recession that was caused by predatory lending policies, saw nobody get in any kind of trouble for it, saw those jerks fly to DC in their private jets to ask for handouts, and still you love them? Banks are bad news.
I'm a freelancer and when I can get a client to pay me with BTC I win. I keep all the money, don't pay account fees, don't worry about my account getting frozen (it's happened to me with paypal)
You only have to do that the first time. I could say that if I want to spend $100 online I need to open a bank account, deposit the $100, etc.
Look at it this way: if everybody were using BTC as currency nobody would be losing anything to the banks. That's a really good thing.
I know those made it in there because they were picked up in in the generator meta tag at the site root. That doesn't feel like a great methodology to me, honestly.
Bitcoin is also the only way to pay for many things without the banks getting a piece of it.
Bought something on ebay? Paypal gets 3-4%. Paying with a different currency than the merchant? Make that 7%
The problem isn't fiber, it's not enough towers. Imagine you live in a jungle, the only tower is on the other side of a mountain so line of sight's a bitch. But with the balloons that wouldn't be an issue.
So not only should poor blacks be held down by institutionalized racism, they are also to be blamed for the ignorance in their communities? Do you have a newsletter to which I might subscribe sir?
It's absurd to defend this.
Jefferson had children from non-consentual sex with his slave mistress which were then treated not as sons or daughters, but as slaves.
It's popular to frame some ambiguity here when there is none. This is a sex crime and a moral outrage.
It's amazing to me that people still defend slave owners. Yes, doing cocaine in the '80s because everyone was doing might be some kind of excuse (not to me honestly because I remember the 80's). No free pass for slavers though in my book. TJ was a monster and should be remembered as one.

Christians conveniently forget that their god started much of this mess when He told GWB to invade the middle east
It reqiures some magical thinking to believe that Christianity doesn't have blood on it's hands, but I guess that just goes with the territory.

Because Hertz isn't a disruptive technology that's taking over the world.
I feel like these guys could probably get Uber to pick them up for $50

Right, look how bad Apple's doing.

I would be very worried in that case.
All of them are in the pockets of big oil, democrats just lie and pretend that they're not.
They're doing a great job of pretending, they've got everyone fooled but you!
Only the red politicians are in the pocket of Big Oil. The blue ones are shooting down pipelines and incentivising projects like this.

If he were running for US republican nominee that would have made him the front-runner.
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, ex*zip*it A. Look, I'm zippy longstockings. When a problem comes along, you must zip it. Zip it good.
Nobody at OneDrive is calling it abuse. That's only coming from OP.
And you think Google and Apple don't?

You sound like an expert. So what's the deal with droneshot?
If he lived there, it would be *here*.
Yes, I'm a troll for thinking that raping your slave is wrong. Good call,downvoters.
