Being able to quit doesn’t mean you’re not addicted. Addiction has a list of defined symptoms in the DSM.

The DSM is just a compilation of named clusters of ambiguous and arbitrary symptoms that have been agreed upon by some arbitrary board of psychologist and psychiatrists.

It's not like the DSM is some infallible book of mental disorders backed by rigorous mathematical proofs. Rather, the DSM-V seems to be constantly criticized, lacking evidence, culturally biased, etc., and it mainly benefits health insurance companies more than patients and clinicians.

FWIW, the DSM, ICD-11, Neurology, etc. all have differing definitions of the word addiction.

I don’t know where they got that number from. It’s depending on a multitude of factors like, type of supernova and orientation of the supernova (like if we’re in line for a gamma ray burst)

*edit

For anyone interested in this topic I suggest Phil Plait’s book in the subject

Isn’t Amex a no interest, pay in full every month type of CC? Or am I thinking of something else?

I think Amex offers that as well as actual credit cards.

The word you’re both looking for is “charge card”

My volvo has no requirement to look at the road and I can let go of the wheel just as long as I can in my Tesla.

My Volvo is better than my Model Y in every way except range. And it’s cheaper because of the tax credit.

Source? I can only see news about the crash, nothing about chip harvesting

This was stated on a Ford all-hands meeting September 29.

I also cannot find an external link, but the meeting was attended by tens of thousands of Ford employees and contractors.

Radar can absolutely detect stationary objects. Your vehicle moving at 50 mph means a stationary object is moving at 50 mph relative to your radar.

Yea but they need to distinguish between the stationary objects that are inconsequential to the car.

Are you telling me that its an unsolved problem in aero industry whose entire tracking mostly dependa on radar and it doesn’t work with non moving objects? That doesnt make any sense to me, I mean how is a static image more superior to, say a metric that has accurate angle and distance.

Crypto is international. Courts are terrible with that scenario.

Pretty hard for US courts to make a random person across the globe give up their wallets.

Also, banks can be court ordered to hold funds. Crypto doesn’t have that.

If you have found Reddit policies have been unpopular lately, they’re gonna get much worse when investors want increasing value.

Reddit already has investors, Chinese censorship champion Tencent among others. I don't see what public ownership could do that would make things worse than they already are. See for example: https://www.theverge.com/2016/11/23/13739026/reddit-ceo-stev...

This seems like they're cashing out. They were never able to properly monetize the site for whatever reason, now they're pushing their shares off to anyone naive enough to buy into it. I'd stay far far away.

I’m very late to this reply, but, a private investor is not the same as being a public company.

Checks are slow and can be faked or scammed.

Sending cash also wouldn’t work.

MasterCard and Visa had a strong monopoly on instant transactions at a distance. They fought PayPal quite a bit in the beginning as it encroached on their monopoly.

Thankfully crypto has solved this monopoly

Yes. There's a cost to checks just like there's a cost to using credit cards. The slowness of checks can be mitigated by offering some sort of access until the check clears. I'm sure there are plenty of creative types who can figure out how to route around the credit card problem. Also checks, credit cards and crypto aren't the only payment options.

Instant verified electronic money transmission is difficult. There are not many options here. MC, Visa, PayPal, Crypto… gift cards?

I see someone already put a link up, but extremism is extremism and the Christian extremism in the U.S. parallels Islamic extremism quite a bit. Including openly murdering those you disagree with.

I would say it’s a numbers game. Islamic extremism has way more members.
