Crypto leaders press Trump to create federal bitcoin reserve President-elect Donald Trump has expressed support for the bitcoin idea, which some economists see as inflationary and costly, depending on its implementation.

Let’s be real: This is a subsidy. The people who hate public spending have invented a massive government subsidy for a technology that has still yet to find a broad-based practical application 15 years after its debut

While there is first order benefit to running an accurate simulation of the world, the second order benefit is that accuracy allows us to find agreement. This makes our mental simulations a partially shared experience.

I have but they intimidate me, as I am all but certain that I'd spray my entire kitchen almost daily with it. Our's has a nice removable head, so it's just about as easy.

My family mocks me because I regularly drink water from the kitchen sink faucet. I'm like "why waste a glass?" And yeah, that's right, I do the dishes too.
