***TRANSCRIPT: The Corbett Report 2/22/2019 "The Crisis of Science"***
In 2015 a study from the Institute of Diet and Health with some surprising results launched a slew of click bait articles with explosive headlines:
“Chocolate accelerates weight loss” insisted one such headline.
“Scientists say eating chocolate can help you lose weight” declared another.
“Lose 10% More Weight By Eating A Chocolate Bar Every Day…No Joke!” promised yet another.
There was just one problem: This was a joke.
The head researcher of the study, “Johannes Bohannon,” took to io9 in May of that year to reveal that his name was actually John Bohannon, the “Institute of Diet and Health” was in fact nothing more than a website, and the study showing the magical weight loss effects of chocolate consumption was bogus. The hoax was the brainchild of a German television reporter who wanted to “demonstrate just how easy it is to turn bad science into the big headlines behind diet fads.”
Given how wid...

OSAKA vs. KVITOVA live in Melbourne. Great tennis battle going on now!
Oh man I'm looking at this 65000 character limit and I'm getting major blank page phobia. Should we talk about China? How they're backing Maduro and Trump is backing Juan Guaido. Muslim congress member saying Trump is backing a "far right coup"(meaning anything right of Mao). Fox freaking out about it.... uhhhhhh wasn't the USA a coup? We're supposed *like* when nations tell their internationally allingned dictators where they can shove it.
For now - VIVA GUAIDO
65000 character limit?? Ohhhhhh yes it's time to put some info on this chain.
Anybody posting memos from Venezuela?? What the heck is going on down there?

This market is about to explode to the up-side. I can feel it in mah bones.
It's looking really dead-cat-bouncy. I think we might get a week or two of lay person curiosity bump before more blood. Naturally, I'm taking a long on Ripple.
I often play rock/paper/scissors with elementary kids. It's the 1st graders who think they can win by throwing Godzilla or black hole. By 2nd or 3rd grade they've realized that's not how games work.
BTC is sitting right on the long term .786 Fibonacci level. Pretty logical spot for a lot of the shorts to take profit. Could get a little rally here before more blood.
I. Can. Not. Wait. For the class action lawsuit filed by a bunch of so-called anarchists.
https://cash.coin.dance/blocks/hashrateThis red line going lower should not make you less afraid, it should make you MORE afraid. SV has at least 5ex hash, possibly more. Every spare chip is hashing a re-org of ABC.
Figured out the strategy:
https://cash.coin.dance/blocks/hashrateSV is deliberately staying just behind ABC while dedicating as much hash as possible to a re-org. When ABC drops it frees SV hash to tighten the noose.
SV probably has a blank ABC chain running in secret down at a nominal difficulty. If the ABC chain lets up on their hashpower long enough for SV to pump their secret chain with 51%+ PoW, it'll cancel every transaction
http://hashwars.cashLooks like ABC ppl have spun up a bunch of SV nodes so that when 90% of them crash in the stress test they can say it's a crappy node implementation/needs the ABC "scaling solutions".
I teach elementary school English in Tokyo, 90% of what we do is play games. Cheating to get ahead early and then trying to demoralize your opponent by bragging is something 5th graders do. 6th graders are more mature
Lol @ all the people who have no clue how mining works so they can't game out what's going to happen when Bitcoin.com switches their miners back to BTC and it adjusts difficulty. I bet they satoshi's shotgun BTC.
I don't think very many people realize that if Jihan does not come in to defend Bitcoin.com's blocks they'll lose every single satoshi they mined today.
Also BTC difficulty will adjust in about 20 hours.
