You talk about people who are "mis-informed" or "lying".
You link to HuffPo.
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
There's no assuming - it's directly stated with the word "times".
You use multiplication for the magnitude of the difference because the given measurement ("times") is relative to some other thing.
"A is 3 cubic inches bigger than B" means you use 3 cubic inches.
"A is 3 times B bigger than B" means you use 3 times the size of B.
"A is 3 times bigger than B" also means you use 3 times the size of B.
You do nothing if the comparison is equality:
A is Y times as big as B.
A is as big as (Y) Bs.
A is Y times as small as B.
A is as small as (Y) Bs.
Big and small are relative terms, but within any given context big > small, and bigger represents an increase while smaller represents a decrease.
You use addition or subtraction for the direction (sign) of the difference otherwise.
A is Y times bigger than B.
A is as big as B plus Y Bs.
A is as big as (1+Y) Bs.
A is Y times smaller than B.
A is as small as B minus Y Bs.
A is as small as (1-Y) Bs.
You're joking, right?
Parts of the US government hold that Bitcoin is property, namely the IRS. However, the government certainly counts it as money with regard to money laundering - just ask Charlie Shrem.
Laundering can be done with any tangible asset, from cash to diamonds to Bitcoin. That's hardly news and doesn't suggest the Government considers Bitcoin to be a currency. Bitcoin can be considered a currency when it's legal tender for all debts, public and private. Until then it's merely an asset. The fact that some people are willing to trade it for goods and services does not make it a currency. You could exchange everything from beer to securities for goods and services. Maybe I'll start charging people shares of GOOG for my labors....

I keep telling my friends that "cloud computing" is not a new concept. We used to call them "dumb terminals." Not a precise analogy of course but close enough for our purposes. You just know that's going to come full circle in another decade or so.
Stop using common sense and logic. You'll undermine the Democrat's argument for campaign finance "reform" (aka: incumbent protection)
I'm not sure, but it will soon have an email client/server and the ability to publish PDFs.
It takes up negative 2 times as much space as the Intel NUC?!
I think your expected to teach your kid to speak your language.
You're parent's oviously didnt?
Human language may have evolved to help our ancestors describe the feeling of a good bowel movement.
There's as much evidence for my theory as there is for theirs.
...all those old machines that should have been replaced a few years ago.
Flawed thinking. Why should they have been replaced, if they were meeting all the user's needs, were functioning correctly, and were able to run supported software? For a few percentile performance boost where the majority of time the user is the primary bottleneck? Which is why they weren't replaced, until they should have been (or shortly after).
Wrong. That black piece of paper would itself be the compilation.
You're assuming CBR is random.
It isn't.
You're assuming the CCD has the resolution to recreate (2 dimensional pictures of) "all of the art ever made".
It doesn't.
You're assuming an infinite time scale.
No one cares now, and no one will care tomorrow.
