Isn't that worse? People in the highest echelon of power in Germany are corruptible by a mere 50.000€? I could understand millions, but our Democracy being threatened by chump change is ridiculous.

How can the paygap truly not exist when there are so many wealthy, right-wing, male sexist types in HN, Silicon Valley and any industry really? Maybe you shouldn't rely on a thought-experiment when you can do data: Adjusted paygaps con

Thats the point. None of the 90% normal pictures will do any psychological damage, the 10% illegal pictures will but those will have to be looked at anyway. The advantage of an algo detecting illegal content isn't in protecting civil s

I'm not sure I understood correctly. Could you elaborate? Wouldn't selling created bitcoin lower the price of bitcoin at your exchange? A lower price would attract USD and the exchange would leak BTC with people doing arbitrage. T

Facebook is a medium by any definition. OP said they kept in touch via comments, a more modern form of SMS or even letters. This whole X is realer than computers is silly to me.
