The 23-year-old Venezuelan had just graduated from college with a degree in computer science, but his nation's economy was already shredded by 13 years of socialism. "There were job opportunities, but they paid like $20 a month, and we were used to traveling and buying things from abroad so we couldn't settle for that," his friend Luis recalls. Alberto and Luis—whose names have been changed for their own safety—teamed up to start a clothing business, but the venture floundered. Then Alberto discovered bitcoin mining.

Scientific basis: Ethnic diversity damages social cohesion

Let's begin to confront this one head on: http://thealternativehypothesis.org/index.php/2016/04/15/ethnic-diversity-a… " Summary: Research shows that people like those who are similar to them. Moreover, the more heritable a trait is the more important similarity in it is to friends and spouses. Thus, people enjoy the company of those who are genetically similar to them. This may explain why people to marry, befriend, and live near, members of their own race for more than randomness would predict. Moreover, a rich literature of correlational, longitudinal, and experimental, data shows that people get along better with members of their own race and that ethnic diversity damages social cohesion. ... The experimental evidence is pretty straightforward: researchers measure various traits of individuals before they meet and then see whether pre meeting similarity predict who ends up liking who. The finding, repeated over dozens of studies, is that the more similar people are the more they end up liking each-other (Bryne, 1971; NewComb, 1961; Lee, 1996; Myers, 2008 pg 400 [links in original article] ). ... In conclusion, the totality of evidence clearly shows that ethnic diversity damages how well people get along, how much they trust one another, and how satisfied they are with their lives. These findings should be kept in mind when thinking about any form of racial diversity, regardless of the races involved.

Are there crypto discussions on this forum
by Igor Chudov 02 Dec '16

Hi, I am Igor Chudov, a great while ago I was involved in running this mailing list via my proposal of a distributed list. Then junk messages became too time consuming and I got busy. I decided to subscribe to take a peek recently, and wanted to ask if this mailing list has bona fide discussions of cryptography, its role in the modern economy, finance and politics, etc. Thanks
