> The whole design is based around multiple selections as an editing primitive

This makes a lot of sense and I wish it were easier to do elsewhere. Probably wouldn't leave the vs code ecosystem for this alone, though.

Couldn't these drones be drifting in orbit until ready for operation? No fuel would be required until after reentry. Info beamed back to the "mother ship."

The picture is becoming clearer. Incentive theory will cause governments to put an end to at least POW blockchains per launderers.

POS will be trickier for launderers but it won't be impossible.

You're forgetting that a ton of jobs are for people that work at places like 7-Eleven. Picking up the phone could be outside of their skillset (not \s)

The focus here is on the environment. However, plastic is linked to many health issues as well.

> I just hope that fear of the old power structures doesn’t bring good people to ally with values that we would not want in a new system.

That's why people need to call BS on the current hype train. Otherwise, when a sufficient solution surfaces, people are going to distrust it just as much as the old power structures. And I'd say we're already getting close to that point.

The problem is, with equal distrust, people will tend to choose the option that doesn't require change.

Flagged for arguing markets & economics 101. Ffs

No, because your holding increases the price until someone else decides it's time to tell. In other words, the lack of liquidity increases price. Regarding your original question, that increase is GOOD for the company because it can raise more money for selling the same amount of stock.

> If you buy stock from other stock owners it doesn't help the business

Incorrect. That's what keeps the market for the stock liquid, and that contributes to value which the company can exploit through future stock issuing. Not to mention the indirect benefits to stakeholders within the company in terms of price and liquidity.

But the joint chiefs are OK with tear gassing protesters for a photo-op. I wish I had your blind faith.

Where are you getting your numbers from, the NRA?

Come on, are you really going to argue this well-known fact without providing any examples to the contrary?

Well guess what, I have a Q story and I'll sell it for your BTC!

Based on your numbers, owning guns has no affect or even a negative affect.

Yeah, these people are delusional to think otherwise. If it was ever going to happen, it would have been with all of those lunatics that supported trump.

Yeah, that's makes it even more insidious.

Legacy. Do you really think they're only worried about profits at this point?

> It’s the same reason I support the Second Amendment. Having a bunch of people run around with guns probably doesn’t help much today, and may even have ongoing social costs. But it would make things a hell of a lot harder for any would be tyrants. That’s a civilizational insurance policy worth paying.

And how'd that work out for you guys on January 6th?

At their ages they can barely stand on their own, so I'm not too worried about any grandstanding.

Exactly. But these guys are too old for the short game at this point. They are about legacy. And that should make these statements hit that much harder.
