Totally 100% correct. There is always "one guy" who predicts something and looks like a genius in hindsight. Some people are predicting $100 oil, some are predicting $20 oil. I just predict that Exxon is going to pay a regular dividend and remain relatively stable in price.
If there is one thing I have learned from Slashdot: past performance is an indicator of future performance. Just look at computers: my first one only had 64k in memory and had a 1MHz processor. Look at my computer today. Thus, the computers twenty years from now will be amazing! After all, things just continue getting better and better. There are no limits: only your dreams!
I invested a lot of money in Bitcoin when it hit $10k. I better just hold onto it until it goes over $10k again, then I will sell. Until then, I'll just sit back and collect the dividends from it.
What makes them "safe to run"? Is the software that they run in the container open source and can be inspected? If not, how do you know it is "safe to run"?
Really? Wow. How do you know what Apple is going to do with the billions they brought back into the company? Maybe they will just keep it, or spend it on gold plated Ferraris. You must be on the Board to know that they are going to use it to employ people and generate taxable profits.
The main reason is that open source projects like those try to maintain a common code base between platforms. They also can't leverage the hidden OS tricks that Microsoft for example can use in their products. The Chrome browser isn't open source, no matter what Google claims.
our outlook changes as you get older. When you get in your 80s and 90s death isn't seen as such as bad thing. But thanks for admitting you are self-centered at this point in your life.
So..wanting to live as long as possible, and regarding the very life you have and own as the most important thing, is being "self centered"?
Um, yeah. That is a pretty good definition.
...you must be pretty willing to lose your life..I mean, if it isn't that important to you.
Where did I say life wasn't important or I wanted to lose mine?
If that's the case, yeah, I guess I"m self centered.
Agreed.
I'm a loving, giving person...to a point. That point in the end is me. I mean, do you have someone you consider more important than yourself when it comes down to it? Would you give your life for someone else?
Yes. Many normal people do. But if you are self-centered I guess you wouldn't.
If so, more power to you, but not me. As far as I know, I only have one shot at this life thing, and so far I'm liking it and can't imagine anything else is worth more to me than that.
That makes sense since you are a narcissist.
I would venture to guess most normal people are that way otherwise we'd have people self-sacrificing themselves daily on a huge scale.
I don't see that happening really that often, do you?
People make sacrifices every day for others. Sorry you don't see it.

What is the actual value of a bitcoin? It will go back up. Things always continue upwards.

My rule is never to bet against black.
Actually, I just bought more. Buy low and sell high.
I invested a lot of money in Bitcoin when it hit $10k. I better just hold onto it until it goes over $10k again, then I will sell. Until then, I'll just sit back and collect the dividends from it.
They are the only ones that are going to get us off this rock stuck in a gravity well.

I thought Tinder was just for meeting people for sex. I only use Grindr, so I have no idea.
Isn't Tinder free? What are people paying for?
True. But in order for them to lose, there would need to be someone who replaces them. Yahoo had Google. Who is going to replace Google?
I'm glad I invested in oil stocks last year. Good move!
Yes, but Chromium != Chrome.

True, but what office suite is right for me?
Clippy has been replaced by a state-of-the-art deep learning AI. It works grate.
What about for people like me who can't get a job and post on Slashdot all day? What are we supposed to use?
Oh yeah right. The NHS is widely known as the most efficient. Give me a break...
I would never invest in something where the value could drop by 2% in a single day.
You are right. Automobiles and "interstallar" spacecraft are very similar. My mistake.
There is one flaw: neither self driving delivery vans OR cars exist today. So arguing about which one is going to come first is pointless.
Um, yeah. That is a pretty good definition.

Agreed.
Yes. Many normal people do. But if you are self-centered I guess you wouldn't.

But you are worthless according to you. You aren't going to live forever. Or do you really think you will live forever?
