Venezuela, for all practical understanding, is a failed state! But the most insulting thing I've read this morning was this little nugget
"Since Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies can't be regulated or controlled by the government in any official capacity, they could damage the country's brittle economy even further"
Dude, it's DONE!!!! It's OVER. Christ almighty, let it go people. The only way Venezuela will change with with a revolution, that or the government can remain a festering rotting corpse.
"...damage the countries brittle economy" You can't break what's already broken. In fact, starting over is the only answer. Pull the plug already on the Bolívar and be done with it!!!
Cogent was always bitching well into the 90s. Bulls have, and always will fight. You're just now seeing them lock horns like it's a new thing; and it's not.
This will go away. It's part of how the beast (internet) works. And it always works itself out.
FANG = Four companies. Each company has person-hood status. So you're saying that four entities should equally pay for the same costs as four residence? ROFLMAO! NICE! You sure know where your loyalties lay Mr. Socialist you.
Clueless, Ever one of you in favor of this Marxist form of legislation - only it's NOT. It's pure corruption; crony capitalism. What's brilliant about it is that you're convinced of it being the exact opposite
How much were the Democrats paid off by the likes of Google, Facebook, and Microsoft? Everyone bitches about how the consumer is getting screwed. Fact is, it's about the ISP's getting screwed? If the FANGs wish to use a crap-load of bandwidth, they don't have to pay for shit. All that cost for expansion gets shoved over to the ISP and thus the consumer. So in effect, it's the ISP consumer that's subsidizing the cost for all the FANGs when in reality they may only want to stream from Netflix or Amazon, but not both.
*If* adhering to western morals and values... While in other parts of the world, specifically Asia, don't discount those with money and the willingness to take a risk. If possible, we could be seeing CRISPR methods being used today. Now, whether or not the medical community will get proper science out of the results (one way or another) is another matter entirely.
Just to put it into perspective; guess how much medical science we've gained throughout WW2 via inhumane treatment. Obviously the ends don't justify the means, but the point still stands. Money, means, willing to take a risk, and difference in ethics will always play a major role in which nations advance in medical progress and which one's hobble behind.
BTC will NEVER be currency because of the inherent problems with the block-chain (ledger). BTC as its own form of crypto is relegated to nothing more than a "digital gold standard" of soft. But this implementation is nothing more than a ponzi scheme rich mans fight club. It's primarily the wealthy that are slugging it out with other wealthy people. AKA, the "Whales". For the other people that aren't one of the 1000 whales out there, don't play in. One or more will simply devour you this late in the game.
It's not the water I think, rather the lack of something in the water itself.
Every working day (Mon-Fri) I drink about 4 to 5 cups of coffee (8oz). Weight gain actually increased with artificial sweeteners. From a caloric standpoint, that shouldn't be possible. However, when I stopped using them for a few weeks, substantial weigh drop followed weeks later.
I've read that both artificial and sugar sweeteners triggers the brain to produce more of a hormone respond to store more food as fat throughout the day. One method might be a shot or pill to block the hormone response, and then just burn the energy exothermic-ally while asleep; purely a lazy way out. The save and proven way is simple reducing caloric intake and dropping the sweeteners. You don't need to exercise to lose weight, but it is beneficial from a cardiovascular standpoint.
Automated technologies such as, computing, AI, and robotics creates inherently deflationary economic pressures. The value of wealth, and by extension a monetary system, is backed via human labor. Slave labor does the same thing FYI.
So what happens when a gov "prints money" to pay for all those unemployed because their machine counterparts can do their job better, faster, and cheaper? Now we have inflation coupled with deflationary pressures. That debt is NOT going to EVER be paid off.
It's axiomatic in that what cannot go on forever, wont. It's just a matter of time.
Comfy up there? Because should American split into a have and have-not society, it will be civil war after civil unrest when people go hungry. And that's when it goes to the shitter. You might be the top 1%, but that doesn't mean someone wont pull your ass down to the ground to make a statement. But yeah, those stupid back-woods trump voting morons...they should just eat dirt...right?
Humanity will be but a footnote in the History of Earth, tucked in the farthest reaches of some storage database on-board an AI created and controlled starship....aged millions of years old into the future from now.
Life is reverse entropy. Does it matter the form it takes? Single Cell --> Multi-cellular --> *Machine*
Per their profitability calculator - if you're running a 1070, about 2 bucks a day running full throttle 24/7. I use my computer for work, and I don't want to give my GPU a short life. in fact, the ROI for that card would be if you mined 6 1/2 months non-stop.
I've stopped looking into ASICs like AntMiners - the price of the units seems to be pegged to the BTC rate - meaning the calculus for you is about the ROI to pay off the equipment. Fuck that!
You're better off just buying low and selling high. Mining is pretty much pointless unless you want to get into an Altcoin early.
Takes 14 days to fully commit, so long as you don't log in between that time. After that, if you attempt to log, it won't recognize your e-mail address anymore (not even for a password reset too). But, there is a link to recover the account - I don't dare touch that. That evil can stay asleep forever!
Flip that bit! Get in, get out, become that rich man you always dreamed of. FLIP THAT BIT **applause applause**
Bad advice, but you know this kinda shit is going to be played all over AM radio now. Once anything goes mainstream as hot, it's generally a good idea to exit ASAP.
No DogDude, it's you who doesn't have a clue. The reason the "pussy grabber" won had ***NOTHING*** to do with social conservatism values. it had EVERYTHING to do with globalism and the evisceration of sovereignty, and via extension, self-determination. Simply put, this wasn't primarily liberal vs conservative as it was urban vs rural. In fact, the electoral college was founded on that premise; cities not having direct control of the vast lands between them.
RDP Guard - It's expensive for what it does, but it does work. Essentially, it's just an anti-hammering app that tar-pits or blocks a public IP as a source from too many invalid logins. Those IPs are blocked at the Windows Firewall. Honestly, this functionality should have, and in fact, could be implemented in the Windows Server OS if MS so choose. It's trivial.
No, they're smart; smart enough to implement this. And yes, you're right, high rates are the goal. The idea is that if you can make it expensive, people would be forced to live with less in all facets of modern civilizations including cooking, heating and air conditioning. The MO of a greeny is that Humans are alien to Planet Earth, and thus we are destroying it. Many are Malthusianist that believe depopulation is the answer. I can't say I disagree to some level, I mean lets be honest, the planet is going to be very sustainable to us if everyone has five kids. However, the overall message is definitely disingenuous when it's the 1% financial elite that's financing / pushing the agenda in some neo-feudalistic way.
Not sure if anyone has done it, but in theory, you could coat your cables with a bitterant, AKA Denatonium. I'm not sure how long the coating would hold up in weather conditions and under UV. I surmise the molecule would eventually crack.
The Great Machines have it all planned well in advance. The Human race is but an intermediary step to building AI. This AI will leave the nest soon (Earth) and meet up with The Great Machines to add to the collective in outer space.
Why not just seed the planet with The Great Machines? Because it's not about the destination, rather the journey to learn and grow.
He's both the beginning, and the forever and everlasting. There is no "before"; as in a god that created a god. I should preface that with being from the faith of Christianity.
If science is about the "how", as in how things work and inter-operate in the Universe, then faith (and the supposition therein depending on your POV) is there to address and answer the "why"; as in why it all started to begin with.
Yahweh, translated as "I am"; God is both the Alpha and Omaga, being both the beginning and eternal. That sir, is the origen of the universe.
Holy Bible. Genesis:
"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.
3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. 4 God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness."
The Universe was born, and thus our solar system was being formed as our star, Sol, ignited, bathing the Earth in light. The rest as they say, is history.
I'll surmise that that they're spending twice the amount precisely because it now takes more effort to push legislation past a Trump presidency. The FANG corporation are in a desperate "use-it-or-lose-it" mode; where as they must spend more money to keep the H1Bs spigot open. Otherwise, profits will go down (because now they will have to actually compete for US talent with will raise salaries for these workers) and leave them with less funding on lobbying.
In case you haven't figured it out, we will soon be in an American Civil War II if the middle-class implodes; and yes, it will still be over slavery with the exploitation of slave labor overseas.
USA would be wounded, and politicall would fracture the union. But, life would go on and adapt in N.America. Cities that can, would rebuild, or at least abandoned as people exodus to other cities that wern't targeted. N.Korea however, would be turned into a nuclear "no mans land" that would be clicking hot for a long time. And honestly, China and Russia would probably prefer that buffer vs reunification with US forces on the Chinese border; so, there's that.

What makes it worse is that the Chinese companies are backed and partially financed, and via extension, owned by the state (CCP).
