For one, there's a transaction cost that they'll need to bear... but the larger issue, as mentioned, is that it's very unlikely they'll be able to adequately manage the volatility without losing money. Last week, bitcoin lost a third of it's value, this after it's value has already plummeted over 80%... that's the type of volatility we're talking about. Bitcoin can take massive losses day to day, Ohio doesn't employ anyone who's going to monitor this 24/7 so payments taken today can be worth a significant percentage less come tomorrow when they show up to work and try to cash in. Ohio can't afford to lose 1/3rd of it's tax revenue because of ill timed transactions. There's zero advantage to do it and enormous risk. Stupid move.
This is almost certainly going to be ruinous for Ohio's bottom line. I highly doubt anyone associated with the Ohio treasury is as involved and up to speed on crypto transactions as they would need to be to avoid such a volatile currency blowing up in their faces.
Right... because little big planet is the only multiplayer game available?
Really don't understand what y'all are struggling with here. If you own the PS4 and enjoy it, cool... good for you. That doesn't change the reality that the Xbox is the superior system. It's not a subjective statement, it's a fact. If the PS4 suits your needs, that's great. If you want to talk about the better system, the discussion is short.
That's up to the developers... doesn't change the fact that the hardware is significantly better, that's indisputable. Whether or not developers are taking advantage of it at present, the Xbox is unquestionably a better system.
Only in as much as the Civic and the M3 have "roughly" the same hardware.
The PS4 Pro has the same eight-core CPU as the original but overclocked to run at 2.1 GHz whereas the Xbox One X has a custom eight-core chip designed to run at 2.3GHz.. 10% faster and not overclocked.
The PS4 Pro has a 900MHz GPU with 8GB DDR5 RAM on a 256 bit bus running at 6800MHz effective clock whereas the Xbox One X has a 1170MHz GPU with 12GB DDR5 RAM on a 384 bit bus running at the same 6800MHz effective clock. 30% faster with 50% more RAM on a 50% wider bus.
Literally the only advantages the PS4 Pro has over the Xbox One X are exclusive titles and the PS VR headset, neither of which are significant in terms of performance capacity. Add in that Xbox Live crushes the PSN in basically every way and it's barely even a competition.
This is "reminiscent of the personal email account Hillary Clinton used as secretary of state"...? Is that a joke? Ivanka holds no office and has no access to secure intelligence or classified operational data whereas Hillary compromised national security through the use of her personal server.
Using a private mail server is nothing new, it's been done by officials of all types for decades... the transgressive distinction with Hillary's mail is not that she used a private server but what data she passed through that private server.
Why does anyone treat a comedian who had a moderately successful child's TV show like an authority on anything related to science? Every scientific achievement was, at one point, science fiction.. if not "magic".
It's well past time for NASA to make efforts to move their public image into a more prominent and popular role. They're constantly under budgeted largely because the general public really doesn't know or care much about them or what they do. The best way to change that is through publicity or a new cold war/space race... Selling seats certainly seems like a preferable alternative to a sputnik redux.
There's a difference between being wealthy and being able to plan financially. It's kinda sad that you think someone who's best job prospect to date was apparently in food service is fit to govern first of all... but that you think everyone who isn't wealthy lacks the capacity to plan for future finances or the means to do so is downright pathetic.
I saved the down payment for my first home while working as a cook in restaurants and going to school full time... as a black man... by your standards, I should've just been huddled up crying to everyone who would listen about how oppressed I am and and how mean the whole world is to me, especially rich people.
And yes... her office she gets in January... when this will actually become a problem that needs to be dealt with.
It's simple, she failed to plan and thinks that her failure to plan is a problem with the electoral system that she needs to fix... the same chick who couldn't "fix" herself a better job or "fix" herself a savings plan is gonna fix the political system that created the most successful nation on earth.
You know, idiots like Ocasio-Cortez running for office aren't the real problem with this country today... it's the entitled idiots like you who think she's got it figured out and idolize her idiocy that are ruining this country. We don't need to demand more of our elected officials, we need to demand more of our voting public and the quality of the elected will naturally follow.
Yeah... that other time, as in literally every public appearance she's had or been out in public.
But it's pretty great that you actually think she doesn't buy any of her own clothes. You do realize that every politician doesn't get a free wardrobe like hollywood elites and the first lady... right? When someone bumps in Ocasio-Cortez at Starbucks and she's wearing $3500 worth of wardrobe, that's not a staged interview, that's her closet.
But hey, you keep on telling yourself whatever helps you sleep at night kiddo.
...and I love the way you want to paint her as a poor food service worker while she's wearing $4000 outfits and $600 shoes.
Priorities... her's are wrong.
Direct quote from her "I don't know how I'm going to afford rent in DC"...
That's ignorance, surprise, and a failure to plan.
Another direct quote "There are many little ways in which our electoral system isn’t even designed (nor prepared) for working-class people to lead"
Implying she believes the electoral system is responsible for ensuring she can afford rent or has a place to live.
And no one is saying that only the wealthy can govern... I have friends who went from modest incomes to serve in office and spent those first months on cots in their offices or on friend's sofas living like poor college kids. The difference is that they accepted that reality and planned for it, they weren't crying about it when it came. I know others who had enough income to start saving funds a year in advance and were able to secure apartments. The key difference here is that she feels entitled to more than all the men and women who came before her and that's the key issue with her generation as a whole.
Bottom line, she failed to plan for a victory that was fairly obviously going to happen and no one with that level of poor planning has any business planning for a nation. Lil Miss "You Just Pay For It" needs to figure out how she's gonna pay for it before she starts telling the country to. Or, she needs to pipe down and get a blow up mattress for her office like the men and women who came before her have done.
No one is attacking her because she isn't rich enough to own two homes... for starters she doesn't own one home so that'd be a leap even if it were the case.
What I'm attacking is her profound ignorance in having this be a surprise challenge to her. Anyone familiar with politics knows that it's not remotely uncommon for incoming freshmen elects to spend months sleeping on cots in their offices, this is nothing new. What's new is that this woman thinks that tax payers should be further burdened to help her avoid the same fate. That she thinks she's entitled to someone. Her ignorance is under attack, her failure to plan ahead is under attack, her presumptuous socialist desires are under attack.
Couldn't agree more. Reminds me of a quote I once read:
People are always talking about demanding more and better performance from elected officials, but when you get right down to it, shouldn't a democracy demand more and better performance from the citizens who vote? If they do their job well, then the quality of those they elect will naturally follow."
The ignorance, hysteria, and blind partisanship of elected officials is merely a reflection of the ignorant, hysterical, and partisan voters who elect them.
No, she's in the same boat as most Americans... irresponsible personal financial management. Funny how she thinks the answer to medicare for all is "just pay for it" but her answer as to how she can afford a DC apartment is "I don't know". That's liberal governance in a nutshell, emphasis on the 'nut'.
Gotta love the irony of the same folks who shit on Trump for cutting corporations a modest tax break going all out rolling out the red carpet to give money to Amazon... and then ignoring their constituency when they realize what happened.

And the Honda Civic outsold the BMW M3, what's the point... the PS4 is still trash compared to an Xbox One X.
Taking a page straight out of the Obama admin's playbook. Yes you can India.

They pay the same for the launch regardless... if they have extra room to sell as payload, they can do whatever they want with it.

That's really the only response "Microsoft's ads are killing me" deserves...
It's not forced on you... you're under no mandate or obligation to use any Microsoft product.
Right... cause without Microsoft nobody ever wastes a second of their life.
WTF? Bruh... if Microsoft is adding that much stress to your life, that's a you problem... and you need to seek psychiatric help.
The mail app in Windows 10 is absolute shit... 10/10, if you're using that app you're still on AOL dial up and deserve to be inundated with ads.

Funny that you think I was talking about a photo shoot... way to dig deep trying to find excuses. White knight harder bro, maybe she'll notice you.
