Comment Not that long ago (Score 1) 302

It was not that long ago that we had no idea what "clean water" or "clean air" even meant until we fucked it up and had to clean it. The world is suffering and survival regardless if it includes grocery stores and running water. This should we have kids bullshit is ridiculous. Stop being so fucking pampered and look back just a few decades and realize just how fucking easy you have it.

Comment Manopause (Score 3, Interesting) 118

Why assume that men have no similar cycle to menopause? I don't understand why there is no consideration as to men going through a similar physiological change as women? We are increasingly seeing that our bodies are more alike than originally observed,especially with the manipulation of hormones in gender reassignment, so why assume men don't have a similar process happening? Maybe its not nearly as sexually reproductive in nature, but that doesn't mean we don't have hormonal or other changes that happen.

It seems to me that science gets hung up on these labels and stops thinking that things could be much more generalized if they broke some of their existing assumptions.

What no they don't. I literally show them the front of the card as I'm passing by and the barcode on the back when I'm checking out. At no time does anyone look at the picture. I've used my wife's card multiple times when I couldn't find my own.

Heck I didn't even think they checked the actual contents of the carts leaving until they apparently caught me with bagels they forgot to ring up because they were in the cart when they told me to leave them.

LOL acting as though Warren Buffet doesn't eat McDonald's Stop acting like economics is the reason people choose the foods they do. They could make salads and vegetables nearly free and people would still pick the processed foods. People are delusional if they think that cost is the reason that people aren't eating more raw foods.

It doesn't if it doesn't sell. It's only as controlled as much as China wants to hold out for a higher price. Like fracking oil its not worthless, its just too expensive to produce relative to other sources, until it isn't. I have a feeling these precious metals are not nearly as "controlled" by China as they seem to think they are.

Are you seriously trying to defend the credibility of a lobbyist? The governor may have said that, but when a story is written by someone with clear and obvious biases then you have to take the reporting with a huge grain of salt. The implication was that we should not pay any attention to this source, but it was not saying that everything said was a lie.

A suburb exists because people work IN the city, but don't want to be crammed together or pay the high prices that inner cities demand for space. So they live where the space is affordable and commute into the city. In a video game space is not a constraint, cost of space is not a constraint, transportation between places is not a constraint. So why would a suburb exist? You can create a portal or a command to wherever you want instantly. You can have every part of the game exist from a menu if you wanted. Suburbs serve a purpose in the real world, one that doesn't exist in a virtual one.

Comment Outsourced coders (Score 1) 80

Guess what your outsourced coders are too, but the difference is they will tell you its secure even though they didn't do anything different. At least the AI will tell you that it made a mistake because has no reason to feel shame or hide anything. It just didn't think about all the possible factors based on your initial request. Maybe the flaw was that you didn't ask for it to be secure in the first place?

Kucoin one of the larger Crypto exchanges literally would only provide easy access to 6 months of transaction history. You had to put in a support ticket and request a longer one and there was no way to know if the transaction log was complete at all. There were functions on the website that allows any individual to execute literally thousands of transactions in seconds that would take individuals unbelievable number of hours to try and sort through. You can easily setup trading bots that would buy and sell hundreds or thousands of times a day each each with their own fees and cost basis. And none of the full transaction lists were necessarily easily accessible to the user who is running them.

The idea that a person could even fathom doing their taxes or something accurately on exchanges like this are impossible. There was no accounting and I would argue that if someone looks hard enough they figured out ways to get real banks to register trillions of dollars in transactions against assets that never existed because they were based upon totally fake traffic and transactions. I have a crypto coin that is trading $100m in transactions every day which means it has a market cap X and because I can show I'm in control of it I can borrow money against it. I can convince some bank to give me real dollars for my fake transactions. I take those real dollars and use it create more traffic in my coin to make sure those bankers don't get worried. Rinse repeat.
