Incompetence leads to underfunding. If they would get their shit together I would be fine with funding them (obv not for regulating the crypto market but just in general).
The economy is there to the benefit of the people in it, not the other way around. An ever-increasing number of people on this fixed sized planet is simply unsustainable.
If we can live with less people who are happier, what's not to like?
Indeed. Imagine having to lower real estate prices because demand falls. Fossil fuel use going down, less useless crap produced for less people, less pollution. Having to raise wages because of less unskilled labour available.
My counter argument is that humans are more wasteful when faced with abundance. Look at what we did when we discovered two continents worth of land. When perceived costs are low, waste is high.
Why throw out such a broad insult with no other thoughts? Not only are you dismissing multiple replies at once without elaborating at all on the reasons, you're also creating the impression for future readers that you are dismissing any future replies to your comment.
And why even bother, if you feel that "this place is pathetic. pseudo-intellectualism and autism run rampant" (according to your profile)?
I think everybody has their own breaking points but mine was today. If I hadn't of spent so much of my life here I probably would have just left and been done with it.
Are you ok? I don’t know you but your recent comments are hostile and I assume abnormal.
Please seek professional help outside HN. I don’t mean this in an insulting way, there is no shame in asking for help, but the internet is a bad place to get it.
It certainly seems like it would be a good thing for the economy, if you define "the economy" as how well all the humans are doing, as opposed to just absolute GDP and how wealthy the wealthy are.
I hate when people bring up survivorship bias about something like this. It's such a negative outlook. It's like a "don't even try because it's just a fluke that happened to them" type of mindset. It doesn't help anyone.
I read this more as “make sure to account for survivor bias and don’t say stupid stuff.”
Survivor bias doesn’t mean that everything is a fluke. It just means that some things are flukes and it’s important to include that in our models so we don’t think something random is non-random.
This is very different than everything being 100% random.
As someone who also struggled with depression from an early age, taking mushrooms cured it.
I haven't taken them in over a decade and I did get in a funk during the pandemic, but the difference between the day before taking mushrooms and the days after are like night and day.
I would bet money that it would help you. If you decide to try them out, all you need is 3.5 grams and someone experienced to take them with you or at least sit with you. Oh, and put on some Shpongle.
Flash loans are only executed if the entire transaction is valid monetarily. A transaction on Ethereum is like a database, if there are any issues it's rolled back.
We don't.
