I think this sort of thing is ripe for abuse though. As 'just going' to the gym doesn't really mean anything. I could just swipe into the gym and then just leave, within all of 15-20 minutes.

I see where you're coming from here, though I do think it'd be better to support education for people into healthy eating and the importance of working out rather then subsidizing businesses into making more and more money. Education has a much better payoff for us rather then shareholders just wanting their company to lobby for government subsidizes.

Can't really see how a service like this could even be a dapp. People would flock to Silk Road (and the other sites) due to the fact that they were able to hold up standards in regards to the vendors that were allowed on them. They forced these people to deposit a bond, pass some checks, and then would have to ensure quality of their products through a middleman service provided by the site (as they held funds in escrow)

I don't see how smart contracts could run this anyway.

I think everyone in the world knows that this is the case. They can say that they're going to be 'anonymizing' my data and that there's no chance of anyone being able to link it back to me, but that obviously wouldn't be the case for these companies to make a profit. So -- yeah, here we are.

People truly do need to take a stand against this sort of behavior instead of allowing it to be the norm. Once we accept it as the norm, companies are just going to continue to steam roll us with this sort of thing. If we boycott companies who due this, and hurt their bottom line they're going to have to change.

There is something wrong with drinking when you're pregnant, and that's why you're not supposed to do it. Unless you'd like to expose your new born child to something like fetal alcohol syndrome, which is a great thing to do if you're a horrible parent.

It should be illegal for pregnant women to drink alcohol, as they're causing harm onto their child without care for that child. It should be like if you weren't to feed your child, or to miscare for your child when you've already given birth.

People forget that these relationships are able to be used for the US to get economic deals around the world and to protect their business interests around the world. The US is able to leverage their military defense of other countries to get good deals with the rest of the world.

Also -- The US uses these bases to protect other bases around the world, for example: The US uses their bases in Germany to route injured Americans from the middle east back to the US. It's an easier and safer way to handle things.

Some other ones that I've found in  my research

Deterrent - Rogue states know that their are military bases close to them, so they're able to be kept in check (think of Iran, NK)

International Relations - The US dumps a lot of money into their military bases, and a large amount of money is spent hiring the locals around the bases. This means that a local government may have tons of their civilians working for the US military/ government. This without a doubt helps in international relations

So what you're saying is that when you think 'china is going off the edge' you mean that China literally wants the entire world to blow up and to decimate the entire human population because they're denied use to the sea.

A world nation isn't going to go to the extreme of nuclear warfare, as all that is going to do is ensure that the world is decimated and over with. You can't use the sea if all of your people are dead.

NO.

Publicity stunt.

This isn't used for him to get any more donations then he would get by credit card, or any other medium that is currently used.

Bitcoin itself (or an altcoin) would (in my view) bring in more donations.  The LN isn't there in terms of adoption to allow for 'the masses' (even in the crypto space) to use it correctly.

Controversial remarks don't point to someones leadership skill or lack thereof. Just want to point that out.

These calls are literally by the opposition party, it's not something that shows that more then half of people are supporting a referendum (or a new one in this case)

Also - It's vital to mention that any poll that does state this is as flawed as the polls that said that the UK was planning on staying (which the people obviously didn't vote for)

Polls these days have pretty massive flaws.

I doubt this has the volume behind it to truly warrant the crypto sites to add it to their site. This is a celebrity match, and it's nothing too interesting for avid gamblers cause they know this literally can go anyway.

The small niche sites that aren't too reputable are going to take this on at first -- we'll see where it goes from there.

Every single casino provides the 'provably fair' information. I don't think I would trust all the information that they give at face value, and I would 100% recommend using an independent site (like DiceSites) to ensure that the site isn't lying to you to get fraudulent bets past you.

Be cautions in the world of crypto. TRUST, BUT VERIFY.

Martingale won't work, ever.

It's because one of two things will happen. Either you will

1. Run out of money before you can make another bet again

2. The 'max bet' of the casino will be in place so you're unable to keep 2x'ing your bet.

It's just that simple. There's no way to revisit this sort of topic because it always ends the same way.

Yeah. This guy fails to understand that impeachment isn't popular at all, and the new Mueller hearing showed no change from what the Mueller report offered to people. You know what that means? It means that impeachment charges won't come up again and President Trump won't be impeached.

SIMPLE.

Horrible to see. Though this does seem like the status quo of rhetoric from his predecessors and senior staff the DOJ (https://techcrunch.com/2017/10/11/everyone-bored-to-death-by-dojs-latest-call-for-crypto-backdoors/)

If something like this is to happen, we're going to see the overall destruction of the tech space in the US. That's not something that we can endure as a country. The EU is going to see massive growth in regards to their tech space. This will be stopped by big tech, with tons and tons of lawsuits and lawyers if they try this.

Are we calling this a theft?

The guy literally got a username and password for a site and used it. I fail to see what was wrong here.

There was no collusion between the Trump administration and the Russians. It's pretty simple. Mueller even said this

People also have to focus on their bankroll. That's a VERY large part of Poker. You may lose a crazy amount of hands even with the best cards, and that's alright - it happens. But at the end of the day if you're able to manage your bankroll properly -- which pretty much means knowing that your poker balance is an investment. Don't get emotional, because sometimes you are going to lose but that's alright.


PICK GAMES CAREFULLY - If you have $10 don't go into $1/2 blind hands. You're going to lose all of your bankrolls very shortly. Start small with what you have. It's an investment after all.

I corrected that for you, take a look!

Trump didn't collude, by the way, that's what the Mueller report was about. Mueller's testimony isn't going to deviate from the report, which is what he said as well.

Never. We will never see impeachment proceedings pass through the house.

I'm going to bet that most of the information present right now is it -- relating to the 'dirt' that they have on Trump. So that pretty much means that moderate Democrats and all Republicans aren't going to vote to impeach him.

Why is that? The public doesn't support impeaching and then removing this President from office. People may not like him, but removing a president from office requires a high crime to be committed and Trump hasn't hit that.

Plus people feel as if you're pulling away a democratically elected person because you don't like him -- which is BS as well.

Nothing to be surprised about to be honest. I think everyone knew that this was going to happen, and it did. He was the only person who is a firebrand from the conservatives and has shown he is able to keep unity (and whip votes correctly within his party)

I don't think anyone knows how he is going to do as a leader -- but we're going to have to see. We do have to remember that the people did vote to leave, and if they have to leave without a deal then they have to. That's that.

I'm going to post back on this in a week or two, when we see what his policies and advisers are.

Agree on the part about womens products -- it doesn't make sense that we live in a world that will somehow attempt to class tampons as 'non essential' items for a women. Though if this is going to happen, I think it would without a doubt be far to class means health products as 'essential' as well.

Sugar tax - eh. When this sort of thing is implemented, people stop drinking the regular versions of sugary drinks and go ahead and use the 'no sugar' or 'zero' verisons of the drink -- which aren't much better for you but are able to skirt these types of regulations.

I highly doubt he's ever going to pay his own workers -- the low level ones, $15 an hour. It'd be too expensive to run his campaign like this -- unless he wants to use this as a marketing stunt and pay everyone $20 an hour or something along those lines. Could be good advertising.

Well yes, they would without a doubt have asked for more if that was the case. But it's not.
