Well $8 for a chip is extremely expensive. I bet a vast majority of keyboards on the market sell in bulk for less than $8.

> even though no useful economic activity is taking place

Saving is a useful economic activity. Why should I let some filthy money lender touch my money? It's my money!

Living paycheck to paycheck is not the converse of saving.

When I save money, I invest it in productive enterprise. Thus, I have less in my checking account. You could even consider (gasp) that I'm living pay check to pay check!

All those features are hogshit, completely irrelevant, and extremely complicated and difficult to achieve. I have never once watched a movie and said "I didn't like that movie. Let me watch it again with taller actors and more rounded furniture."

Software freedom is the ability to do whatever you want with the code, for example, compiling it. I'm not saying there's any sort of license violation here, but it's not in the spirit of software freedom to "not supposed to install software [from source]"

You're right, all solid savings plans must fit comfortably beneath a mattress. Reminds me of the old saying "If I can't lie down and sleep on top of it comfortably, it's not an investment"

Hang on I almost read that as meaning bitcoin has less financial capability as fiat currency, which we all know is patently false because the premise of bitcoin is centered around an increased flexibility compared with fiat currency.

If you can completely obliterate your margin like that just to make a single sale, I suspect prices are too high and you'd end up doing better by just offering the product at $400.

I sincerely hope names like this become widespread if they accurately describe the job. Very helpful to have a bright red "KEEP OUT" sign.

I've always been told by labview advocates that "you can of course pull up a text editor and write code." The language and API is certainly a different matter, being a second class citizen and presumably an afterthought.
