I was going to say the Indiana Jones movie series was pretty good, but then I remembered they actually made a fourth movie... 

I suppose it is reassuring to have official confirmation as soon as possible. That said, they stated there was no limit to the number of participants of this campaign, last I asked, and if people followed the enrollment "procedure" correctly, there is no realistic reason they shouldn't be accepted, even if confirmation takes longer.

Even if it were possible, do you think that's wise? Without wanting to give out too many details about the story, it kind of reminds me of The Vision of Escaflowne, which I mentioned before; people's wishes are often contradictory, and when they aren't, they can lead to competition and conflict. I'm not sure that can end well.

Well, it is the weekend... not everyone lives for the forum. 

Well, yes of course it is harder to model it when you're looking at the real world, but that's what you have to work with; and in this context there is no evidence that small increases to the minimum wage will have large negative effects down the line, especially when you consider my previous argument and the fact that productivity continues to increase.

As for "no economists disputing the negative economic effects that increasing the minimal wage can have on society", here's someone who disagrees:
An interview with Robert Pollin from the Political Economy Research Institute on The Real News: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKXTUJrk3GY.

I'm sorry, but this seems like the propaganda going around about the evils of raising the minimum wage; do you have any decent sources to back that up?

EDIT: because remember, we're talking about people that are already receiving the minimum wage; these people aren't going to save what little extra more they might get with an increase - they're going to spend it in their other basic needs. So, this is money that's going directly back into the economy, perhaps providing more business to the very guys paying the minimum wage as well, now that more people can afford their goods.

I haven't used skrill much, but aren't payments with it reversible as well?

Perhaps you guys should read this thread, also started by Trista354: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=610944.0. As Monbux suggested there, don't send your personal information directly; send it to escrow, if you even really need to provide it at all.

Hey, it seems to have worked for him. Then again, we never saw the next panel in the comic, so it could have been the end of the world due to genie overpopulation...

Since you mentioned biology there, and this being for a "dream job", how far along morality would you be willing to take those experiments?


Great Teacher Onizuka!! It has been a long time since I've heard/read that name; thanks for reminding me.

You can't really buy everything with money; perhaps you could build a suit like iron man's, but at this stage, more than access to resources to build it you need knowledge on how to build a power source powerful enough to allow the whole thing to function and small enough to be mobile.

Maybe throwing a lot of money at it would give you the solution for that in time, but there are other "superpowers" you would probably need ages before acquiring, if ever; to pick on a few from this thread: mind control, teleportation, time travel, mind reading, etc..

Aren't those raising and discussing the issue already effectively caring about it?

Well, if OP did escrow, the btc would be trapped literally forever, as no one is going to reach any significant amount unless they invest (which kind of defeats the purpose of all this). Read the rest of the thread for details.

According to the OP:


So, having paid yesterday already, I'd say there are still 3 more weeks before they switch to monthly payments.

Provided you can make 50 constructive posts before the 17th, it doesn't matter when you've applied.

In relation to the second question, yes you should reapply each month, with the same format as the OP states (see the very first post in this thread), and I guess you can do so anytime after sending in the PM on the 17th.

Can't you just add your title with AnxBTC to your profile overview (the thing on the left for each post)?

EDIT: I haven't tried it, but you probably lose the formatting you would otherwise be able to use in your sig. On the other hand, it's better than nothing.

They're the new deal on the block: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=600446.0. They have the highest payments so far, and in order to gain trust with the community faster, they decided to pay on a weekly basis for the first month of the campaign, and offer a bit upfront for Hero Members that join them.

Hazir already has... you wouldn't expect that to take long, would you?

I still see them with the negative trust warning... did you add Ritz to your trust list? I think that would be the only way for you not to see the warning.

EDIT: and looking at the feedback left, it all still appears to be there.

I'm currently torn between German and Russian; I've spent more time with German so far, also on Duolingo, but I really like Russian.
