I think you're forgetting that public schools serve a purpose other than enriching the wealthy. I have such a hard time with takes like these. Would you have public schools turning away children that can't pay?

The 'well we have mandatory things already, so why not this also?' is what you are using to argue against the vaccine. I think a little nuanced thinking goes a long way when comparing all of the examples you proposed.

Re:How to Kill Bitcoin (Part 2)

I actually read the article and it has nothing to do with hating bitcoin. It delves into the logistics of a theoretical attack against Bitcoin's proof-of-work blockchain. Quite interesting if you're willing to put down your pitchfork.

Can transfer of value be done with much less power spent (especially if decentralized)? If it there is a superior alternative, wouldn't you be referencing it by name?
Re:Reddit valued at $6B on a $250M round

At some point, free Reddit is going to have to start to suck in order to make money. If they make premium Reddit simply behave the way that current free Reddit does and abandon the silly "awards-based" revenue model, I think they might stand a chance to turn a profit.

The article suggests "micro-scratching" as a cheating technique. Wouldn't just completely scratching off and re-applying the scratch material be the easiest way to cheat?
