This would destroy every retirement investment vehicle for the middle class more than it would affect the 1%

That can be mitigated by setting high thresholds on the whole process (e.g., the tax doesn't apply if your total net worth is under $10 million).

Producing the food is only 10% of the challenge. How do you deliver it to everyone at no cost without rotting? How do you deal with a delivery of flour if you have no oven?

If it's so easy this is ripe for a startup to disrupt. Food is the most necessary thing to human existence. Every living person is a potential customer.

> That is, be on the cutting-edge of something, but be willing to bail out at the moment its future starts seeming questionable

Counterpoint, I sold all my Bitcoin in 2011 when Mt Gox got hacked and the price plummeted 80%. Would have done it again after their 2014 hack too if I had any left.

> Bitcoin is a good example: if you bought it 15 years ago and held it, you're probably quite wealthy by now

But you just said bail the moment it's future starts to be questionable. If you follow that you would have never held it for 15 years.

I remember reading an interview some years ago where they basically said they wouldn't try to shut them down, but they also did not appreciate the projects existing.

If I recall that correctly, Atari didn't want to do anything about it because it drives sales for TTD and RCT (in the case of OpenRCT2, it drives sales for 2 games even, since you need the assets from 2, and can also import more assets from 1, and even further, you can also use Classic as your base, so like, many many options), while Chris Sawyer didn't particularly like their existence, but not enough to go and force Atari to do anything about it.

When I was about 7 or 8 years old, my elementary school music teacher did this same exercise with us, except the goal was to draw a musical staff and the first 3 notes of Jingle Bells (or something along those lines). I can still remember how much fun I thought it was.

> Always best to sign in with your own email address.

Using a randomly generated email per service is a huge improvement over always using the same email.

Tell that to our legislators. Because that sort of ID would not be a valid voting ID under the SAVE act.

Under the text of the proposed SAVE Act, drivers licenses or state ID's wouldn't be enough to count as a voting ID.

In Canada a drivers license is enough to vote.

The last time I can recall Firefox crashing was when I was using Windows Vista. This definitely sounds like a problem with your system.

That doesn't really matter though against an attack that takes some time to spread. If the attack was active for let's say, 6 hours, then 43,000 legitimate edits happened in between the last "clean" snapshot and the discovery of the attack. If you just revert to the last clean snapshot you lose those legitimate edits.
