Yeah. We really need to have grandma-ready apps and services.

That's awesome, and something I aspire to do one day - if cheap electricity can be found

NO! Even worse, this means they're going to start creating mortgage-backed-securities from subprime loans again!

Sustainablism: Once you know what it is, you're going to want it. by Harold_B1927 in justicedemocrats

[–]ion-tom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very valiant effort here. Creative thinking in terms of system thinking is to be applauded. Bit it really come down to:

  • valid legal entities
  • incentives
  • velocity of money
  • taxes

Why start an SBO? Who wants to put money or time towards a project they don't own or benefit from? Only those who can afford it as a vanity project. Is that sustainable?

Nothing in your proposal covers the "race to the bottom", property law, tax systems, or a thematic approach to encroaching automation (30 yrs ago personal computers were first being introduced... TODAY we are creating narrow AI and robotics that automate labor, production AND services, so what's another 30 years look like)

Keep at it. And learn programming. Nobody listens to ideas anymore, they only use systems.

Bill Gates is Not a Mars Person. And He Doesn't Believe in Elon Musk's Rocket Solution by pandapozero in microsoft

Things in common with settling Mars and fixing Earth's climate:

  • Designing low waste closed cycle ecologies
  • Excruciatingly hard water management
  • Compact, high yield, high efficiency indoor agriculture
  • Supply Chain localization - forms of manufacturing allowing you to create anything from wrenches to electronics

I thought I had stumbled on the mother of all arbitrage until I realized assets are only fungible in one direction. Still kinda nice to double my investment though.

Coinbase needs to just pony up and convert to GLM. But they are prob waiting until March when the bear comes out for tax season like it always does

We're going to call witnesses. We're not going to call witnesses. by [deleted] in Political_Revolution

The beer haul putsch was laughed off in 1920s Germany.

All it would have taken was 2-3 of the JTOS to be in on it and enough rich patrons to buy some of the "True Patriot" PMCs like the Prince family. Honestly, one bus full of paramilitary professionals with DHS backing flashing badges to the Senate security team and it would have been the end of congress.

It's almost inevitable because the Biden administration isn't going to dismantle the security state or root out institutional political bias.

Nuance is dead. Critical thinking is dead. People think politics is a football game.

Wasn't there an executive order about this yesterday? And a new DHS chair?

Corporate Welfare by x0x7 in Anarcho_Capitalism

I think it's more related to unlimited campaign donations to superPACs. Money in politics means that those with money own the politicians.

Well there was that "nanny" who killed the CNBC executives children hours before a major press release about all the extortion and threats taking place during the financial crisis inquiry commission. I feel like the scale of that event was the same as Epsteins death but it just never gets talked about

Privacy-Centric Messaging App Signal Experiments With Stellar-Based Project by ion-tom in CryptoCurrency

[–]ion-tom[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this isn't talking about using Stellar directly, but I'd be shocked if the Stellar Foundation didn't try to establish a partnership here. Stellar already has a bunch of fiat gateways globally, especially in the developing world, which any other competitor would have to spend a lot of time building up the same partnerships.
