There literally is no controversy. It's more like 20-30 people screaming loudly that they aren't getting their way. If you listened to the podcasts the past few months/years you'd notice nothing. Unless it's a contr

Exactly. It's not a news program, it's a podcast for entertainment. It kind of takes a special kind of something to believe anything otherwise. Go read a mathematics textbook if you want authoritative news.

It is a talk show podcast. It's not a news program and I often see this conflated to the point that people say things as you've just said "not to take it as authoritative news." Nobody with a brain is doing that, and fur

I really just want to say that your comments have been hopeful and refreshing. Thank you.

That is solely your problem that you don't understand it's on you to verify information. You as a student don't have time to quickly look up basic information on topics? Then I suggest that you also don't have time to li

What is most scary to me about all the recent talk about Joe Rogan is that many commenters against him as a human being obviously don't know much or anything about him, but that they wish to censor him for some reason. I also question

I understand it will seem that I am playing devil's advocate here, but the dose makes the poison. How are you to know that the folks buying the methamphetamine are not in fact experienced microdosers who are taking functional 5-10mg do

You really seem to have a personal vendetta against linux but it has no bearing on the fact that linux runs, it's up to you to set it up. Don't like your distro? Build one. LFS. I'd rather the majority stay on Windows and don

It isn't cute or funny, nor do I care what you think it is. Why would anyone care how many other people are using an operating system? Why does it matter that a certain operating system isn't used by normal people who can't u

I specifically meant the ones burning buildings hoping it would bring about change. Burned the wrong buildings.

All this rioting and yet nobody burned down the Facebook offices. A shame, could have brought about the radical change they expected.

I've been on the linux desktop for 15+ years and what does this mean then? You're free to live in the year of the linux desktop, each and every year. Choose your reality.

And yes, this is how all online interaction should work. Similar to other PGP pseudonymous internet identity. The world needs the 1990's identity segregation via handles once again. Social media is a fad that simply brings out negative

It's not sad at all, it's the nature of the beast. Nobody should ever be making all their real life identity and actions public online. Doing so is incredibly vapid and irresponsible. The internet still is for consuming informatio

You may try visiting a forum based in your own country, as HackerNews is based primarily on Silicon Valley in the United States. I think you're completely barking up the wrong tree if you're looking to support communism or speak p

You miss the entire point which is stopping a communist foreign government from collecting large scale data on US citizens. The US government doesn't give a shit about Google, Apple, and Facebook collecting information they use on US c

Facebook is banned in China so there's no use in driveling over whether or not Facebook should do this or that, or Google should do this or that (Google also being banned in China) This is simply the US copying China this time. I suppo

Why did this at all belong on HackerNews?

A couple influencers these days couple make a viral video on how to go into settings and switch this off and then you've effectively got the update anyway.

A sidenote that this interestingly showcases (to me) how people lived and ate before giant grocery store chains. Folks were a lot more decentralized and trade/bartered/bought with their farm from those nearby in the community. Why

I never replied as you simply restated plainly obvious information about Telegram. I'm intimately familiar with, and would not trust Bruce Schneier. It's not my first day in cryptography. What you've counterpointed doesn&#x27

If and while China sees fit to ban all American apps, programs, and sites, we should return that in kind. I support segregating China off our clean network.

Naysayers consistently say that "It will fail," without realizing the chain continues to work regardless of your faith or mainstream uses. It works, it will continue to work. It works via satellite and radio. It's unstoppable

In general I'd say that most "higher functioning" Bitcoin users are fairly decent with C++, using CLI/TTY only wallets, and familiar with the cypherpunk movement, culture, and history. If you are not familiar with IRC it

I would have to disagree on both main points; BTC is nearing 12 years old and time tested. BTC also proves that no regulation at all is necessary. It also proves that even folks who think they're technically literate, are hardly capabl

This is untrue. The entire design of Bitcoin was never to have exchanges, to entirely be your own money's keeper. You would have to actually read the whitepaper, have talked to Satoshi and Hal Finney and paid attention to it's pur

Think of it as LOD generation in a game. As something observes or is near enough to observe, atomic matter is generated on demand. The Matrix; our simulation.

This is not an issue tied to IT any more than it's an issue tied to a corner store gas station. You cannot regulate morality.
