So many people justifying this. What next? Use decomposing corpses as fertilizer?
Yes, corpses should be dug up from burial site and stored in airtight containers after they have decomposed. No point in allowing cemetaries to get fertilized. |

Obviously they are not using babies for heat. They are incinerating them as per legal requirements dealing with bodies. They surely also burn tumors, severed limbs, etc. Kinda gross, but not as shocking as it sounds.
The title of the thread obviously says they did, base on Filmmakers working on Amanda Holden: Exposing Hospital Heartache discovered that the bodies of thousands of aborted and miscarried foetuses were burned as clinical waste in hospitals across the UK, with some being used to heat NHS buildingsSo people would rather have them just waste that heat? Heat is a byproduct of disposal by burning. Using it for heating is the moral thing to do or maybe people just don't like energy efficiency and being green... |

So what should be done with tumors and such which are removed from you?
It comes to quetion of personhood I think...

The Bitcoin ATMs will be very useful, the only issue is the giant fee that most charge. I know people personally that wont use a Bitcoin ATM because the generally higher fee than a regular fiat ATM. Although most people I talk to about Bitcoin have heard about it at some point, just mainly the negative things the news has portrayed about it. Then when I tell them what Bitcoin really is, they seem to think it actually is pretty awesome.
We just need to make it easier to buy (which the ATM's help with) and also make it more attractive than fiat.
Cash ATMs are free here, atleast the ones run by corporation owned by major banks... On other hand the one Bitcoin ATM I saw was websoftware on some expensive Internet screen thingy... Doesn't really do anything yet... |

300 on the way to 10  |

the UN should invade both nations and install a temporary UN government there to stop the criminal activity.
invade Afghanistan to stop produce Heroine, better Invade USA to stop their evil attacks and murders... The best option. |

Note to self in future: Never pre-order from BFL again (again)
Lol, BFL is still selling their lovely 10 g/h Jalapeno for ONLY $349. 2 Jalapenos $700 for 20 g/h or 1 Antminer S1 + psu $750 for 180 g/h, decisions....decisions... Umm, 2 Jalapenos bought at once cost more than two bought individually? |

600 seems overrated to me...
Maybe it's just current stability with holders, fresh coins and coins not in circulation... Could move downwards in future...

Considering that bitcoin is all but unusable, the mind boggles to consider what the value will be once it is easy to use for any fit purpose.
Will it ever be easy to use? I think bitcoin will stabilize on lower price level in future, there might be one or two bubles on the way, but generally it's most likely to end up as nerd-currency with a few use cases... |

Ok difficulty and exchange price.
But these are two independent variable or not? this is the question at the end, in order to make a comparsion.
They are loosely coupled, but difficulty moves much slower than the price. Difficulty should follow the price, but with delay and limited change. In basic sense price drives difficulty to state where costs of mining is near the produced coins' value... That is if price increases, more is invested to mining and thus difficulty will eventually rise to match it. Same should work in reverse if price where to drop in future... |

Real world growth isn't infinite ever... So there might be temporary plateau in near future and then more bumbs from that...
|

I believe it leveling off in 1-100$ range depending on how much of them are in circulation. That is it will end up as marginal or small payment system, for drugs and some other uses...

OK - there has been 25 voters turned out in this particular poll, 2 of whom were undecided one way or the other. A massive 68% are against a one off wealth tax on the wealthy in this BitcoinTalk poll - in contradistinction to the 74% in favour in the UK as polled by YouGov (2000 person representative sample presumably  ) What does this tell us about the voters in this particular online constituency ? What does it tell us about this particular poll ? Listen folks - I mentioned it earlier, but I reckon a consumption tax might be a way forward if we are to have BTC as a contender in this crazy mixed up world . What do you all think ? Or is it a case of no tax/Government/authority at all for you ? BTC being like a moral precept - a bit like "turn the other cheek" etc ?? Consumption tax doesn't work because rich consume less in porpotion than poor... The income distribution is just too skewed for them to work and still get decent service. Or then the average folk need to gain huge negotiation power over those who have the capital... I'm in undecided group, it's not that some assets like public debt couldn't be easily taxed or forfeited from rich, but in the end most of wealth is now speculative or immaterial like stocks... So cutting from this is not exactly workable if it leaves to liquidation of these assets to pay part of their value, thus plummeting the value... |

So just how well are these organic foods tested? Double blind studies I assume? On all the crops and new breeds? Rigorous long term testing and certification process?
GMO's main issue in my mind is cross-polination and patent laws... And the contracts, not the modification itself...

For example World of Warcraft from Wiki (mainstream game)
World of Warcraft was the best-selling PC game of 2005 and 2006.[91] As of January 22, 2008, World of Warcraft had more than 10 million subscribers worldwide, with more than 2 million subscribers in Europe, more than 2.5 million in North America, and about 5.5 million in Asia.[92] At its peak in October 2010 the game had 12 million subscribers.[93] As of February 2014 the game has 7.8 million active subscribers.[94] On January 28, 2014 Blizzard announced that 100 million accounts have been created for the game.[95]
The important number being 100 million users of WoW in it's history since that is the total amount that has at least played and paid for the game.
Now 100M is probably the number of accounts created including trials. Which likely includes me, and I downloaded the client logged in for 5 minutes and left didn't pay anything at all... +1 account... And I'm not ever going back. |

People wouldn't be enslaved anymore, that's what would happen. The rich would no longer be able to control the poor.
Umm, why you say so? I'm pretty sure they still need to eat... What is the fundamental difference from 6 000 years? In the end someone gains an edge and then it's downhill from there... How does the rich control the poor without force? If there's no centralized bank destorying the poor's currency, or tax system stealing all their wealth, or welfare system keeping them dependent, or minimum wage destroying employment, or regulations denying any opportunities, what's to stop the poor from rising up? Larger amount of weapons and disposable manpower holding those... Where would the force go? Rich would just give up using the old style force? |

You can grow your own food and don't need others to do that for you. Where? And if someone comes and take that land? |

Efficiency is cancelled by difficulty increase...
Mining will end in parity where over long term produced coins value is reaching equality to OPEX/CAPEX...
And in near future that might be a rather wasteful state...
OFC there is systems to offset the OPEX, like selling waste heat in cold seasons, but that doesn't change the picture much...
True question is energy/coin mined over whole lifespan...
