Unfortunately it does not look like "the loser's faction will move to the middle". Witness what Democrats are getting the biggest buzz. It is obvious that extremism on one side makes the other side say "hey we can be just as extreme in the opposite direction!". This is despite the fact that the stupidest person working for either party knows that if they just put out a MODERATE candidate that they would wipe the floor with the opponent.

I voted against Trump. But I am seriously afraid what we are going to get next election is "left-wing Trump", just as hell-bent on destroying perceived enemies, and not caring one bit what it does to the people and the country.

Comment Re:It's DeFi! (Score 2) 109

Sorry I guess I'm going to have to ask a more specific question. Do you have an example of anybody owning a few million $ in bitcoin *exchanging ALL of it* for something that is not Bitcoin or another cryptocurrency or crypto asset. The fact that you can exchange a small amount of bitcoin for the equivalent amount of dollars does not prove anything.

There are examples of people exchanging their entire hold of hundreds of millions in gold or stocks, without the value of those commodities crashing. Would like proof this is the same for bitcoin.

Comment They replay the manufacturing emissions in months (Score 1) 256

With a wild twisting of words this author added "meaning the emissions were dumped up-front in China's coal plants" to try to make this sound bad.

ALL "manufacturing emissions" are "dumped up-front". There is not something special about China or using coal. And even with the 2x or more CO2 emissions of coal, a solar power panel replaces all that CO2 emission in just a few months, which is an awful lot better than a lot of other things that people claim are green.

Comment Re:3 Engines failed not 2 (Score 1) 106

I'm guessing they can tell from the wreckage that it was not running? And it should have been running by the time of the crash due to the power failure that triggered the emergency windmill generator (forgot what that is called). Is this correct? If so yea it sounds like 3 engines failed, which seems to me to mean a pretty major electronics failure?
