Assuming Milton Bradley stays with the same denominations..  anybody care to predict when the monopoly dollar passes the US dollar in value? 

The same way you would do so for any other asset that has appreciated. 

Agreed.

Also worth mentioning is that the sick folks who are drawn to such fraternities are also the same kind of folks very likely to stab each other in the back. 

Here's a small list to get you started. 

Zaire - 1975-1978
Jamaica - 1976-1980
Seychelles - 1979-1981
Grenada - 1979-1984
Morocco - 1983
Suriname - 1982-1984
Libya - 1981-1989
Nicaragua - 1981-1990
Panama - 1969-1991
Afghanistan - 1979-1992
El Salvador - 1980-1994
Haiti - 1986-1994

All foreigners are your brothers and sisters.  Assuming you are a primate.   

I guess you implying that Obama and Reagan are also named Bush?  And Carter?
 
Or maybe you are referring obliquely to some domestic policies ("in the US")?     

Interesting.  It appears this newspaper doesn't want people to read their articles or advertisements. 

Dead birds of southeast asian genetics for cryptocoins?

No thanks, I don't have health insurance. 

Not really.  There's a clever checksum.

The probability that a mistyped address is accepted as being valid is 1 in 232, that is, approximately 1 in 4.29 billion.

I type addresses all the time..  if you get a digit or two wrong a proper wallet will tell you. 

LOL that's some Grade A Bullshit my friend. 
 

" amount of information in X ...  "

Sorry, this is just not science in my opinion.  Sure, a HD might contain 1TB.. but what about the positions of every atom  in there every nanosecond?  That would be a lot more information.   

"Information"  is context dependent.  If that's your interest stick with Claude Shannon and avoid Hawking / Berkenstein. 

Why do you want a big diamond?  The only reason I can think of is that you're a total fucking idiot. 

Or that you want to sell it to other idiots, which is basically just as bad. 

Yeah its about time. 

Now that people call programs "apps" and think they are cool to download and run instead of doing everything in a browser, it could take off.

Also take a look at Diaspora. 

Looks delicious, and clearly more than enough proteins there too.

Eh?  I think most people would disagree with you about "that hell", though of course "forbidden" is never a nice thing.   

Remember the ultimate punishment described for original sin: go forth and multiply.
Notice also that birth rate tends to drop in places with higher consumer surplus. 
Other than that, yeah this is a discussion worth having.



I wish you were right about this one.  Unfortunately it looks like the chemicals and genetics are instead often used to keep food out of peoples hands (Terminator genes, desertification, crops requiring more expensive chemical purchases) in the usual attempt to "make very rich people even richer".  American agricultural science thousands of years ago was more advanced. 

Could be a bluff you're right.  It could also represent a behind the scenes power battle. 

Remember creating money from nothing is not a new idea, indeed every dollar on the planet was created that way.  1T$ created from nothing is not in any way new.  The new thing here is that members of the United States corporation are trying to have the power to issue this new money through some kind of "commemorative coin" loophole.  For the last 100 years it appears that this power has been closely guarded by a private group of banks commonly referred to the as "The Fed", whatever the fuck that means.  They don't need to make commemorative coinage to issue this money but simply add zeros to accounts on certain ledgers. 

If congress tries to go through with this, one would expect some heads to roll.  However we can be sure there is a lot more going on behind the scenes that we have no clue about, so discussion here is of little or no value if we don't know the players involved, their bullshit fraternities, or their psychotic incentives.

   

After reading through this thread I still have absolutely zero clue what "capitalism" means.

The only clear thing about it is that nobody is using the same definition.

Extremely easy. 

All you do is simply announce on aforementioned program channel that it has been done. 
As you demonstrated, we all believe everything said there is truth so that is what happened. 

Beneficiaries: big pharma, police, advertisers. 

Anybody know why the worlds most hated company doesn't change its name? 

OK it's been a lot of work to create a name that millions of people associate with slow painful death for all living things.. but why would such an image be desirable?  I don't get it.
 

No.

With a PhD in economics you can drag this answer out to hundreds of pages and include some estimates that might have some accuracy but the answer is still "no".
