I had the same type of imbecile as a manager. You are not alone Im afraid

Cool, I'll check it out

Incredible how HN groupthink downvotes you instead of addressing your perfectly valid concerns

There is absolutely nothing dangerous about Peterson. The perceived danger is that once unpopular ideas/thoughts are discussed in the marketplace of ideas, so to speak, and that they might win out. I'd much rather ideas that promote inhumanity be discussed in the open that driven underground and allowed to fester there.

Its perfectly fine for two adults + a bit of cargo for immediate use.

Ask Novogratz

This is the real reason their stock is up.

Better drugs/more complex medicines should be possible. Chemical interactions are hard to do on classical computers (operating on 5D+ arrays), true quantum computers should be able to help with those computations.

Keep it man

You didn't have to write this whole article just to shill your own crypto game.

Edit: but I would like a dedicated link explaining it.

The wealthy hold the wealth not because they deserve it, but because they have used their power to take it.

Who did JK Rowing rob to get her money?

How'd you like Starship Troopers?

Thats true

Why not? Jesus never said anything about borders

Anybody with a computer/graphics card and an interest in technology could have money on Bitcoin and countless other cryptocurrencies. Neets from /g made money on it without spending a dime. Where were you?

CTRL - F "HB-1"

1 mention in the whole article... seems like its missing the point.

Pencil and paper

Then build something better instead of shitting on others

Anyone here investing in lithium/cobalt/graphite?

You don't understand how trading bitcoin works. Trading is not done on the chain, its the centralized exchanges which keep the books. Its instantaneous, with people who are involved in arbitrage between the exchanges keeping the prices level across all.

We provide huge rewards to a small number of people but why?

Thats what I asked you. How many indie authors have you supported by buying their books and spreading the wealth. Or do you have a better way to spread the wealth apart from the government taking it by force from whatever class it deems as enemies of the people this week?

Its more along the lines of - whose tea and coffee did they pour salt in?

Its incredible that for a tech related site like HackerNews so many here are salty about people getting wealthy off technology.

For example: good for Rowling but why aren't more authors able to make a living writing?

Because consumers don't like them as much. The market increasingly is a winner take all, moving away from the 20%-80% split. How many books did you buy this year? How many were from indie/unknown authors?

What does "justify" mean here? Are you somehow saying its not fair that early adopters have a lot of coins?

But the 20% that don't, I flip them off every time, since they fucking deserve it.

You're a prime candidate for anger management classes. If you get so stressed over something that minor, better get good insurance for your cardio problems later on.

LOL

I mean those two have pretty clear risks as well. Morality might moderate people's primal feelings but they are even better moderated by understanding opportunity - costs of the actions. Nevertheless, there is nothing inherently "bad" about "negative" feelings. They just tell you something isn't going right and you have to fix it. How you do that - is up to you.

Yup, every armed robbery is a brain deciding that it can take stuff by force instead of making/creating/exchanging it.

They could have been doing something else with their time. Instead they were mining, promoting, and trading this technology. By definition there is an opportunity cost to being an early adopter instead of going with the flow - so indeed they took a risk.

Upset/uncomfortable - maybe, but at who? The rich family? His own family? Himself? Society? All of those?

People on hackernews and in general tend to view "negative" feelings, envy, etc... as generically "bad". These feelings are evolutionary signals from your primal brain that something isn't going right. Its up to you to fix that, however you see fit.
