I absolutely agree. It does constantly get used around here just to silence the narrative of something the downvoter doesn't like. I'd posture it mostly gets used for that, and a small fraction of the time is it used correctly or

I'd disagree and say that what we are seeing with all the constant talk about racism and over sensitivity to every little thing that can be turned into an offense of the most egregious nature, is the loudest victim using nasty speech t

You are never going to be able to control others' speech. The internet went wrong in my opinion when folks started using their real identity and their real life information. When I was growing up and getting online in the early 90&#x27

My 10 year old gmail account has no associated phone number. Maybe it's valuable now. It's the only thing I use at all that is a Google product, and I'm always near deleting the entire account but it's just so convenient

Exchanges are not a part of Bitcoin, and should not exist. Not your keys, not your money. KYC is an invention by financial systems that have nothing to do with Bitcoin and it's intended use. Nobody holds custody over Bitcoin but the pr

This is very straight forward in that the blockchain was invented by Satoshi Nakamoto to solve the Byzantine General's Problem, double-spending, and a decentralized ledger. We can go much deeper into what Bitcoin can do, but all other

Correct. What anyone in an oppressive regime could do though is to make sure settings are set to "share your phone number with no one," as well as delete their own messages from the channel in their entirety after having been read

This is all information in bad faith. The protocol and all Telegram is open source. Are you a cryptographer? And who "rolled" the Signal protocol, Moxie Marlinspike? Did he not design that himself?

They are not going to get them, and the people saying otherwise don't use Telegram, and/or do not know what they are arguing over;pedantry. Telegram works well. Anyone can start a private chat encrypted end-to-end, those messages

Telegram polls are anonymous. Messages are encrypted.

Well, maybe that's simple enough to explain. Maybe scared citizens don't want to go and publicly vote for fear they're going to get the shit kicked out of them?

Medicare is specifically only for elderly people, not all.

I love paying $1,300 a month for my health benefits I use a few times a year. What a great badge of honor. Oh, but wait, there's more! I can also pay hundreds of dollars out of my pocket at each visit to a clinic or dentist!

This is also not the case in many real life examples of trans friends who readily are outgoing and make friends I see and know. I believe they were using that quote from something above that was mentioned as being a quote from autism spectr

Epic jacks people over daily for choosing different colors of characters and clothing, aka "buying skins." This makes Epic Games BOOKU bucks, and then they want to sidestep paying a 30% fee to be on a device that will capture them

People often falsely tout absurdly high fees because they so choose to try to move the money as quickly as possible on a whim and choose to pay such a multi-dollar fee. Those of us who use bitcoin regularly understand that if one plans to s

Well, this is essentially how the markets work, in general. The top wealthiest traders with many connections on Wall Street tend to take the earliest tips to get in early, by the time the rest of the country/world start to play they&#x

I consider my family very fortunate that my wife's part to full-time chef gig did not call her back for spring/summer events for this very reasoning. We were previously both working, but fortunately we are able to change focus and

So to each of you with the same response; You're totally ok being sold an unfinished product, paying too high of a price for it, and then having to opt into privacy violations to use a device which should have worked from day one out o

Great headphones would never require an app or updating of the firmware. They should play music as engineered and intended from day one of the purchase of said heaphones, until they no longer work.

by BTCOG 6y ago
Why on EARTH would anyone EVER need to update firmware for a pair of headphones? That's asinine.

Speaking to this point exactly; drugs do not meaningfully fund terrorism. In a person's locality, one can readily learn what their supply chains consist of, and who is the chemist/grower producing it. For one to assume flat out th

LSD has quite a bit of subjective experience change based solely on mood, set, and settings. Although beyond that, everyone's reality is not the same as the next guy. Aside from that, repeated dosing of anything at all can be different

Bingo. Plus, as it pertains to LSD itself, what he said was patently false. LSD has always been largely distributed among intellectual circles for decent low prices and among hippie circles. Real LSD is not meth, and it's not heroin. I

I agree with that to a point, but I think it's more like a job employed at someone else's company and making them money is never going to be a dream job. I do think there's hope in creating your own dream job via entrepreneur

Bamboo grows extremely slowly and can actually emit CO2 in hotter climates during the warmer season. Hemp grows extremely quickly and sucks down CO2 like a vacuum. Hemp doesn't require harsh chemical pesticides, and it doesn't req

Stop using someone else's domain and server space to act like that is where you deserve unhindered free speech. I'm so tired of hearing the bitching about Facebook or Twitter on HN lately. The future of the web will be decentraliz
