Race-blindness was never the left-wing position, unless your definition of left wing is maybe the feel-good commentary of prominent elected moderate Democrats, who had to appeal to the majority rural white populists. I don't think many or any prominent minority civil rights leaders led on any sort of color blindness platform.

In fact, the 70's and 80's were all about embracing blackness.

If i were prickly, i'd be making insinuations about you personally.

So you think it is possible to condition people to look at another person and have them never consciously or unconsciously understand them to be white, black, asian, or any other race?

So you deny that implicit bias exists? Implicit bias has shown to affect areas as dry as medicine to scientific research, yet racial bias is somehow made up?

There's a very easy answer to your question. It's the understanding that bias/implicit bias exists and needs to be overcome.

The MLK quote is such a red herring. It's a nice statement, but what one guy said 50 years ago doesn't define a culture or society.

because the alternative is to vote for an overwhelmingly pro-white party.

The USA is a capitalistic society. We only pretend to look at diversity as something that should be egalitarian. Asian Americans don't have a large enough base to provide capital for any of these areas for people to see them as beneficial.

I would imagine disabled and old people would use this the most (people who use Acess-A-Ride in nyc for example), but obviously this means vehicles would have to be accessible to them, and how can you guarantee that with Uber using shady contractors who have to maintain their own vehicles?

> The middle class can no longer afford to remain in CA. A combination of egregious housing policies and other anti-bussines/anti-people regulations

To me this doesn't make sense. Middle class can't survive in CA because too many people get paid middle class and up in CA. Is it 'anti-people' to pay teachers 70+k? Or is a state like WV more 'pro-people' where teachers are going on strike because they get no raises. There are a lot of wealthy businesses in CA. You have to be richer than in other places to actually feel rich.

truth is, the problem is too much competition and there always has to be somebody at the bottom. Look at the inflow of people. People with high incomes and advanced degrees.

What impact exactly? It's not up to people to disprove that bitcoin won't take over the world, when proponents fail to come up with viable use cases.

>Days before Omega One announced his hire, Chilton said he wished he had invested in Bitcoin and its major rivals years earlier -- back when he was warning people as a CFTC commissioner to be careful while calling for more regulation. Generally, the wild price fluctuations are “mellowing out,” he told CNBC on Jan. 11.

Hilarious. Just for note, bitcoin (not even going to mention alts) was swinging 10% a day around January 11th and dropped to half its price in less than a month.

I guess once you're on the bankroll of some of these places, you give up on trying to sound credible.

Remove everything and then let a merciful Xi Jinping give a little semblance of freedom back. The Chinese will be cheering his name in the street!

Ok, trading is completely unregulated. When we are talking about exchanges we are generally talking about what they are designed to do (trade) not details about how a small amount get USD onto their platform.

Even so, these so called regulations you point to don't exist on the biggest exchanges like Bitfinex, Binance, or even Poloniex. Poloniex pulled out of states once licenses started being required to deposit USD.

Being licensed as a money transmitter has nothing to do with with crypto trading regulation. In fact many of those licenses explicitly state such:

>Coinbase, Inc. is licensed by the Virginia State Corporation Commission as a money transmitter, but such license does not cover the transmission of virtual currency

On top of that, we're talking about the big players like Bitfinex, who created USDT simply so they didn't have to comply with any sort of banking laws, let alone securities trading regulations.

Serious question: How does Circle afford a $400 million price tag when they've only raised $135 million? Their main product seems to be a Venmo clone, complete with the lack of fees. Surely, they're not making that much money selling user data.

Crypto exchanges are completely unregulated and are dominated by behavior that wouldn't be legal on actual security exchanges.

Because of this, a legitimate exchange would never really gain traction. Just look at Gemini.

Overall air quality is pretty good in NYC, but street level pollution is nasty. There isn't a day that I don't get huge whiffs of diesel exhaust or a weekend that i don't have to clean off black grime from my windows. Happens less so in cities where you're not surrounded by walls of buildings and heavy street traffic.

I think the air quality in in the city is only good because it gets quickly blown out to sea.

NYC has a lot of java based jobs. Some python, very few ruby ones (compared to the Bay Area at least). It isn't so easy finding certain types of jobs in NYC.

NYC is actually amongst the lowest for Cost of Living adjusted salaries out of all the major tech cities:

Rent isn't exactly cheap in NYC

5% a year. You're better off keeping it on an exchange in case of a pump.

95% of people wouldn't be interested in crypto if it didn't make them money. You're asking people to give up the money to improve the system for what? So they can't make as money?

Crypto isn't charity. If you want better tech, you have to prove why it is worth it.

Let's hope the SEC throws these two scam artists in jail soon.

So you can't sell your crypto there? Where is all this bitcoin coming from then? Sounds like robinhood is hoping for a huge disparity, so they can dump what they have for better prices.

Last time i was in Italy, I got charged for a bag, so they're still also doing that it seems.

fee-less market orders? Does this provide an API? I guess this offers an alternative to Coinbase for the casual buyer, but looking at gdax, it seems like 99% of volume is bots tracking price at larger exchanges.

I'm curious to see how arbitrage will play out with this.

The Japanese need a full fledged military badly. It's pretty clear many youth there have not much purpose in life.

Most people sit around and do nothing all day and they have to make up for it by exercising. It's much easier to do this when you are invested in it and have a routine, which in turn is easier to maintain if it is some sort of obsession.

It's comfortable to blame poaching because it makes westerners feel less complicit.

But that's not at all what the article states:

>“The decline in population density was most severe in areas that were deforested or transformed for industrial agriculture, as orangutans struggle to live outside forest areas,” said a lead researcher for the study, Maria Voigt of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Germany.

Plan to buy some.

Make them in Vietnam and let the rich Chinese buy them as status symbols.

Everyone else can stick to the Chinese lemons.

but they don't seem to convert to fiat (at least from this article or the demo), so it's irrelevant.
