Of course extra-judicial killings are still occurring today under Obama with the executors being the remote pilot of the drones.
Obama is the only President to have admitted to ordering the assassination of American citizens.
They all did it. It became more obvious over time due to technology. Party politics plays no part in any of this.
If someone did, would the media tell you that they did? If the media didn't, how would you know?
The government no longer has all sources of information by the throat. If they did there would be no Wikileaks.
The guy makes valid points and you ignore those points to grammar troll him. What a wonderful person you are.
I really don't think MK is a sociopath. A sociopath would not damage their own company to the point of having to declare bankruptcy. Not when their own income depended on that company, not when that company had such high potential. Sociopaths are still pragmatic.
I think he was just utterly inept and far out of his depth. He literally didn't have a clue what he was doing. His stupidity and carelessness is no defense, he should face jailtime.
Hookers, blow, and honda civics. Who the hell buys a Honda civic when they could buy anything? Who the hell gets one imported from the other side of the world?
If he was just a little bit competent he could have run a business that would have covered all his expenses legally and still run at a strong profit. The guy was well out of his depth. He needs to get jail time as a warning to others.
You do that and let us know how well it works out for you in 6 months or so. Personally I try to keep my business non-political, a customer is a customer no matter what browser they use or who they vote for.
That's the pro-gay rights crowd for you, no alternative opinion is valid. They remind me of the anti-Nazi league, they have little knowledge of what they are actually against but they have fanatical dedication to their cause.
Gay rights discussions are an overblown distraction from more serious news. Gay people can live together if they choose, end of issue.
He is entitled to his opinion. You are entitled to yours.
Mine is that gay rights are blown up as some mega-issue when there are in fact many more important things people should be worrying about.
He seems like a genuinely nice guy
Except the treating gays as less than human, and putting forward his own money to do so. That's the behavior of a genuinely not so nice guy.
Lots of successful people are not nice guys. Steve Jobs wasn't a nice guy either. He was still good at his job.
Personally I have nothing against gay rights but I'm sick of hearing about it at least 4 times a day, every day, for about 10 years now. Everything on TV, in every paper, every radio program is gay rights, gay rights, and more gay rights. One person isn't pro-gay rights and huge numbers of people start publicly moaning about it. Gay rights are not the make or break defining personality trait of successful CEOs.
You could equally say the same about all the infrastructure needed to validate USD.
Actually it's a cheap to run currency. How much do you think is spent on printing, securely transporting, validating, and counting banknotes? Or on the VISA or Mastercard networks? Or on the various costs banks have running and stocking ATMs, websites, call centers, and so on?
How much electricity does the conventional banking system use? And computer games? And street lights?
BTC mining will be profitable on transaction fees once the coin generation stops. Miners will drop out until it's profitable thus making all remaining miners more profitable. The sliding difficulty scale doesn't just go up you know.
The ledger and the mining process are not separate things. Each ledger entry has a generation of 25 coins plus a long list of transactions affecting existing coins. You need to generate a hash within strict conditions in order to create a valid ledger block and the difficulty of that task adjusts to ensure a consistent block generation rate.
The original paper will explain all this better than I ever could.
Bitcoin doesn't really work like that. A bitcoin is a generation event plus a chain of transactions, it's not a chunk of self contained data. You can read the original paper for the details.
Day trading and HFT are not criminal activities.
You are quite correct. However they should be criminal activities, or at a minimum taxed in such a way they are not viable ways to extract money from markets.
All seems condemned in the long run to approximate a state akin to Gaussian noise. -- James Martin
