Besides, people are nothing if not adaptable; there's always more work that needs to be done.

Exactly. We should adopt new technology as soon as possible. Building contractors can easily find alternate work in other sectors, may be in constructing bridges and tunnels.. (don't think that 3D printers will be capable of doing it).
 
Now I guess the future is computers and becoming a mecanical engineer to fix the machines that had taken away job, but you really beleieve we have time to go for training all over again, seniors will have no choice to collect unemployment.

Well if your smart you would put life insurance on your parents if they dont have any, then after you pay they pass you will be 100,000 richer by time your older,  I heard many americans are doing it like this to have extra at retirement.  Better then playing lottery

I am not going to judge any woman that chooses to do this. I do strongly judge women that celebrate the misfortune of ending a life. Sick.

yeah to celebrate this is actually gross and is human trash that can do something like this.  How can this be celebrated, hopefully she gets embarrassed if this is viral.

I knew 3d printing  was going to be the future once I heard they were printing metal shapes.  Plus if some of you watched  Grey anonotmy Dr Yang wanted to start printing a heart.  one we figue out decode the genes for allowing people to get printed hearts, kiss heart attacks good bye

How about this: a lot has to do with the teachers.  I can count on 1 hand the number of GOOD teachers I had.  The rest I merely had to endure.  Some actually taught things like HOW to think (instead of rote memory learning) and made me think about how I was living my life.  Unfortunately with the amount of time kids spend in school you need teachers to do more of this in my opinion.  You get these boring teachers teaching kids science and tech etc. and obviously yes none are going to want to pursue it when there are more "fun" subjects like art or music.

Thats because teachers are protected by a certain law, after years of working once they have protection with there seniority teachers get lazier and hence dont make educating fun for the children

Hello hello! Glad to see everyone is so friendly here!
I think I gonna ask a lot! Thanks people who made this forum to discuss crypto currency

I dont think this forum is favoring any altcoins, I see posts getting deleted when someone talks about another coin.  is talking about other coins restricted in any case?

About USSR: Many people dream of the revival of the USSR. (Those who lived there, and did not read the Western propaganda.)  Wink

Kinda reminds me on new york city, getting fined for cursing in public.  I guess he doesnt want russia to turn out like new york,  I thought Cursing and having balls in Russia was part of there culture, to be the macho man.

I would be concerned about too little time to react if something goes wrong at such high speeds.
If anything goes wrong at those speeds, your little shuttle becomes a railgun shell. A kinetic energy weapon of massive destructive power. At least your death will be instant and painless.

pay BTC at the terminal and be in tokyo before the payment gets 6 confirms
Only if you're a cheap tipper.  Grin

Im sure better rail technology with this and really strong durable metal, all they have to do is keep the training moving straignt and keep it slow on curves im sure they will simulate it on models before putting real people on the train.

i think it is fake....bitcoin does't need bank Cool

Well bitcoin can in fact get a bank, it has value so if people wanna store away bitcoins away from there home in hard drives, etc, then yeah banks will come into play by offering a storage for bitcoins.  I think there is one already out, but I forgot there name.
1210  Economy / Economics / Re: How much control does the President truly have over the economy? on: May 07, 2014, 11:52:13 AM
This assessment is partially correct.
the president can't fix the economy any better than the soviet union could centrally manage theirs successfully, it is not possible to reach economic prosperity by having someone with a gun telling everyone how much to produce of everything.

the way modern economies work today is broken.
the main problem is that we no longer have free markets, mainly because central banks try to centrally control the amount of money and credit in circulation by setting an arbitrary interest rate, instead of letting the market decide what the interest should be.
the president could in theory abolish the central bank, and stop the commercial banks from conducting fractional reserve lending, and stop propping up failed businesses, which is why he is somewhat responsible for this mess.

you cant blame only the president for this mess, you have to blame the whole government from this mess, since the time they started taking loans from banks and printing more money, and these caused the USA to lose there rating from owing not only banks but other countries as well.
1211  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin or Gold? What would you pick? on: May 07, 2014, 11:48:54 AM
I prefer bitcoins than gold. Bitcoins in future will give more returns.

I would get get bitcoins made out of gold then put my wallet in each gold coin, now how awesome would that me to have bitcoins made from gold.
1212  Other / Politics & Society / Re: our USA education system sucks and is obsolete on: May 07, 2014, 10:56:00 AM
Education reform is a false dichotomy.  The alternative is which?  You spend trillions of dollars only to produce more over-educated individuals without gainful employment?

 If you increase the standards, you would end up with Engineers and PhD Calculus serving coffee at Starbucks ~ oh wait ~ we already have that.
Some of the best socially educated people I know could not deal with the commonality of grocery shopping, or preparing a meal using common cooking facilities and utensils, yet they are deemed "well educated".

Sorry, but even in this day and age, if your education precludes your ability to feed yourself other by ordering a pizza from Little Cesers or a sandwich from Jimmy John's, your wholeness as a human is a total fail.
1213  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: The Official MCXNOW - REALSOLID SCAM Thread - Please add to this if u scammed. on: May 07, 2014, 01:29:39 AM
No surprise that he is a scammer, rude man he is! Someone needs to reach out to him and teach him a lesson

I have to agree. Most of the posts I read from him were plain rude, or he had terrible etiquette.

Time to start a Internet manhunt.

By the way, wasn't MCxNow closed down one time in November of 2011?

Is possibbility that the people that are mods for him are part of the scam scenario, making him look like a honest business owner,  Last year I thought he was going to become big but he could be probably be Mark Kapeles Equal.
1214  Other / Politics & Society / Re: our USA education system sucks and is obsolete on: May 07, 2014, 01:24:01 AM
This guy is brilliant, I haven't seen his videos for awhile, the thing is though, speaking as somebody who is studying Art and Jewellery, if you're purely after a job you won't necessarily be able to do well, especially if you go for a degree precisely because of what he's talking about. That said, I think Education is getting so bad now all you're going to have to do to get a masters degree is write several essays on whatever subject you pick ( no matter how vocational the subject is ) and this will mean that no young people will have the skills to produce and make things in their respective countries anymore.

I'm also glad to see that I'm not alone in my suspicions about ADHD, I think it's not only a case of the system itself being at fault, I'm convinced going back on my own education that teachers use ADHD or mental illness as an excuse to cover up how badly they teach. In a couple of my previous schools I ended up in those kind of catchup/'special' classes etc. ( Yes, feel free to laugh ) where they were pretty much assuming because I wasn't doing all the work and had trouble with basic mathematics I must have something wrong with me, but really all it was was that there were massive gaps in my education like being unable to do percentages or take tests because nobody had simply taken the time to explain it all to me.

Western education is a piece of shit, so it's no surprise seeing the data come out finally proving it later on.

Its not only the teachers fault but is also the parents fault for not fighting against a false system.  when I was 14 years old I was placed in a resouce room just because I coudnt grasp as fast as others can.  The real truth about me bieng placed in there is cause I couldnt see the black board so I would have to squint but still coulndt make out what the teacher was explaining on the board and instead of the teachers seeing that and getting me to see a doctor, they instead thought I was a slow learner, then I was in resource room which only made things worst for me because I felt like a dumb outcast. 
Everything I needed know about life, society and inculcation I learned in kindergarten.

We edify to an educational standard, not to an employment standard. If we inculcated to an employment standard, handled properly, most people would not require to progress past the 8th grade, let alone high school or college, because the prodigious majority of jobs available in our society do not require advanced education, but on the job training.

Why do we keep wasting our money and the money of most families on having students procure a college degree with which they will be ineffective? Other than exposing our children to more socialism and feelings of entitlement or guilt?

Pretty much all praised education for the act of educating, without a consideration of education as good for the masses because it just is. I expected nothing less.

This is a problem with our system. Without young minds that think they can individually make a difference, why?

Intercity schools fail not because the kids are stupid, but because they are realistically un-motivated. They understand their lot in life is limited by their environment, and they also are big believers in energy conservation.
1215  Other / Politics & Society / Re: SCiO will turn your smartphone into a portable molecular scanner for $299 on: May 07, 2014, 01:18:03 AM
Great tool when used right. But one thing worries me. You can add "even yourself"? That means this device is capable of scanning people, store this data for later and use it to identifying them. Imagine bigger and better version of this on airports, stations, shopping centers. Your molecular signature could be scanned and thed used to track you everywhere. Is not that scenario a possible outcome of all of this?

That is why I highlighted this part Smiley
Think about it: if you are a drug dealer or buyer you could test your fresh 100 ton container from South America to know if it is 100%... Cheesy

IMAO I didnt think of that, and it would be good for girls at clubs they can check it anything had been spiked before they drink it, where gonna be in a age of paranoia   Grin

oh my god that is so true, as i heard that already face recognition software will be on a database, we are losing privacy in every way.  But wait I dont think they can be able to tell im sure everyone can have the same skin signature in there bodies, cause it changes all the time.
1217  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Get more money? on: May 07, 2014, 12:52:55 AM
Hey guys, I have 0.07 BTC and I was wonder what I could do with it to make more money in BTC?
 I know gambling is a option but I am very skeptical about that and just worried about losing money.
 Any other options?
 Thank you.

Well I would suggest trading, but you cant make much with 0.07 btc unless you know what your doing, and gabling is out of the question, unless you get lucky. I suggest save it and take a few btc and try to learn how to trade the coins.  When you have enough coins you can also try to sell it at localbitcoins for a 4 percent profit.

If I were to create an exchange for BTC/Au how would this help or hurt Bitcoin adoption? What kind impacts would this have on cryptocurrencies?

Well first of of all if it was to be backed, who will it backed by, They will need to have alot of faith for it get backed by gold.  but if we did have backers and it was group that was well known then it could help it, but it might hurt it as well.
