Except we're inherently idle creatures. So while you may be right in some silly marxian sense. 90% of us would do nothing until forced to due to biological needs.

But none of this matters because less then 50% of people in america even care to vote and no its not because drivers licenses or gerrymandering.
>As far as his "conservative white male" discrimination claims, I've seen that too. My boss specifically requested candidates that are not middle-aged white males. But it's nowhere near the same level of discrimination that people of color or women have endured for decades. Perhaps the reason people don't feel sorry for conservative white males is that if they are rejected by one company they can keep trying and will find an "old school" company that will hire them. We have not had that luxury, for blacks and women it was 100 nos for every 1 yes. It's not that way for white guys, sorry.

Its not that way for white guys to receive hundreds of Nos?

Holy Mackrel! This is insane, I've trusted NYT for so long for news even during the election. I always wonder if I am on the wrong side of history based on the news I read
>When the stock market is up we think it'll keep going up. When we have peace we can't imagine war. History is not a straight line and destructive ideas can still take hold in the wrong conditions.

No... But thats pretty bullish of you.

Re:Don't get caught up in blockchain hype on Wednesday December 13, 2017 @11:21PM (#15919919)
Here are some points to consider as to whether blockchain is appropriate for your application:

Data on blockchains is by default, unencrypted, especially data that needs to be validated by the nodes. Blockchains do not have inherent security against read access. You can control read access to some degree by encrypting certain elements on your blockchain but this can be compromised. Not all information on the blockchain is true; data still needs to be checked and uploaded correctly and as such is open to human error. No amount of time guarantees something will stay in the ledger. It is also difficult to remove data if required by law. It’s not secure because it depends on the assumption that the blockchain community has more compute than the rest of the world. It’s absurdly expensive to mine blocks to store data indefinitely. Lack of government regulations for blockchain could impede growth.

ofc the internet was different back then.
Because it costs money to read the research that costs money to produce... How is this controversial?
Ah, another fantastic article reducing lifes choices down to statistical analysis. If you want to be an inventor then work towards it.

Why is this here? On HackerNews? Since we are on the topic why are there more and more political stories on hackernews?
What is to stop people from just lying about their salary information?
And this is the company we are suppose to trust with their stance on Net Neutrality?
