ThickAsThieves: "So if you support the idea of Bitcoin, you acknowledge the hazard of entrusting the entire economy to trusted third parties. You acknowledge that the ultimate power must be spread thin among every single participant and never be entrusted in hands of
a few, even if it’s
a democratically elected government." Good luck with that.

a decade ago, that had incidentally flown in on her own dime

A man's test is

a jubilee, get rid of those ledgers and start again as equals! Given the power law distribution of wealth at all times such

a better capacity to adapt to it’s environment (i.e stronger, faster, more attractive than others to ensure the passing of her own genetic material to future gene
mircea_popescu: "The two greatest difficulties for women to overcome in their own methodology is that they are only at
a sexually viable peak for
a short window of time (generally their 20s) and the fact that the qualities that make
a good long term partner (the Good Dad) and the qualities that make for good breeding stock (Good Genes) only rarely manifest themselves in the same male. Provisioning and security potential are fantastic

☟︎ decimation: "(I actually have great sympathy for the professional. In
a bureaucratic oligarchy like ours, the professional both rules and is ruled. At the top, there is no one on top of him. Yet he cannot change his mind. He would simply be replaced.

a nominal increase basis. inflation is basically
