"We always act with you, the customer, as our first priority"

Is there a customer actually gullible enough to believe that line? I somehow doubt they'd be learning of the $850M shortfall from the NYAG's office if it were true.

If they were all this honest, I could respect them.

No, it's not good nor happy. If they really HAD to improve to survive, most of them would probably be able to do it. If you let them an easy path, many people will take it even if it is not the best long term for them. We are creating a dumb society where noone have to give the best of them to survive. So they don't do it.

To be honest, I'd rather live in a world of lazy dummies than struggling-to-survive dummies. The latter are usually dangerous.

I'm sure everybody in this thread has seen people struggle with even dumber shit. For some reason some people either don't have the right mindset to identify solutions to problems by themselves or they are inherently incapable of doing so.

However, you can certainly teach those people how to use a photocopier or a fax and basic programming is no more difficult while also in high demand.

People who drink bleach as an elixir have already solved all their problems. The remainder can use the internet, which is what I did. I have spent years scavenging the internet for dozens upon dozens of different paths. There's no wizardry going on here, literally pick a bunch of acceptable categories and a bunch of desirable ones then go from there.


You can't tell me that people are too stupid to Google "What jobs Y that involve X are there and what are the salaries?" and then follow up with "What paths to Y are there?". And I also don't believe that people who immediately fold are inherently incapable of following instructions until they commit them to memory.

Could perhaps we be taking for granted the privileged inner workings of our own minds, effortless as they are, and generously applying them to others where they do not exist?

In any case, I'm more than happy for them to continue doing what they're doing. More pie for the rest of us.

Luckily coding is extremely easy for most of the jobs. If you can say what your program should do out loud you're already half way there. There is tons of work for low level programmers and people just throw money at them.

Just because it uses fancy terms like ML or AI doesn't mean that you're not just regurgitating the same methods over and over in the majority of jobs.

Not everybody needs to be a researcher designing or optimizing algorithms.

Even if you take some sub 100 IQ person. As long as they are capable of language as well as repeating steps somebody else has already taken they will be able to pick up the skills required for low level programming jobs. They really aren't much different from stacking blocks or chopping wood.

Five years would already be far more than anyone could reasonably need when working part-time, but even if you round up to ten years that still leaves at least a few decades of high earnings for most people. But why bother learning something for 10 years if you don't know if it will pay off right? Wrong. And that's the problem.

There are countless other jobs that people can learn in similar amounts of time too. Most people just don't want to put in the effort needed once they are off work and I can totally get that. But that's everybody's choice and not something that the rest of us should be forced to compensate for.

I've seen people struggle to use a photocopier or a fax and you're telling us they can become programmers? I'd like to see it.

Also, what about the structured knowledge of society that leads you down this or any other lucrative path in the first place? How would a dummy know how to judge these things? Last time I checked they were drinking industrial bleach as an elixir!

It is certainly undeniable that the computing infrastructure we have today allows many more use cases than than of a generation ago (or even of a year ago). Accordingly, 'bloatware' as an argument is weaksauce. Yes, as processing power cost drives toward zero, it makes sense to spend more computing cycles for a more enjoyable experience. This I see as positive.

Maybe you're the outlier that wants to watch their porn in glorious Hercules compatible resolution on a monochrome screen at 3 frames per minute. I dunno. But you'd certainly be in the minority.

The problem is that as machines we're still running the Palaeo OS. Every day I wake in disgust at the bandwidth of my sensory inputs.

It affects security and challenges the state power of Thailand and it is intolerable," he said.

How fragile must the state power of Thailand be when a floating bathtub challenges it? Perhaps they should fire torpedoes at every fish that enters their waters too, just to be extra safe.

It's all about making the things you believe in real. That's to be admired.

As much as I find the idea impracticable, I have to admire the principles.

What sites are you using as alternatives to bitcoinwisdom?

bitcoinwisdom.io and cryptowat.ch for me.

I don't see the problem of having an advertisement as my avatar and signature when it obviously doesn't change my post habits and benefits me through increasing my btc holdings. I'm not lying, changing my point of view or trying to trick people.

It's a bit like providing B&B to Satan in your basement to heat up your house. Sure, you can tell everybody it hasn't made you evil and it's just to reduce the gas bill, but don't expect to be believed.

Bitcoin is strong right now. Not even a retest of 4600, just straight up. Shocked

Instead of attempting to convince people who can't be convinced why aren't they instead working on the actual development of their pet? That might actually achieve something for the same amount of calories.

Fair enough... what do you do if you do not a pet?

Fondle your balls.

All that's needed now is for the trustee to lose all the coins and the Gox cycle of misery will be complete, ha.

Awww..... It looks like BitcoinWisdom.com has finally thrown in the towel on pricing updates. Sad, I've used it since the beginning.....

Times change.

Aye, end of an era. I have reserved a seat for it in price-watching heaven next to Clark Moody.
776  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: April 03, 2019, 11:08:28 PM
Dead? Nah, it's pining for the fjords!

A settling back is to be expected after such a remarkable rise...  But any remaining doubts the bear market is over are surely now disappearing.

Edited:  posts comin' too fast...

It's looking very good indeed, but I'm still prepared to be put through the meat grinder.

Indeed, looks like the best opportunity in a long time. Want to see it break and hold above $5700 now.

Fuck yeah, now that's what I call a daily candle. Grin

Does anybody know to exist some reasons for current growth? From 2.4$ til 3.5$. I don't find big fundamental events. Is it simple speculation or exist something? I don't wait for GRIN strong growth because such tokenomic don't offer by such a way. But I'm interested in technology and project  Wink

Speculation of course. Market cap just broke out from the 12-15 million USD range. Wouldn't be surprised if there's another push, but after that supply will start to catch up with demand again...

Looking good, at least for the short term.
