One should probably also ask how much research would not have gotten done or other issues that would crop up if less tech-savvy researchers didn't have a beginner friendly tool like Excel available.

Are you suggesting it's unreasonable to ask here without doing his own independent research? It seems like a reasonable thing to discuss here.

I'd expect bananas to have lower than average amounts of pesticides though. The edible part is enclosed in a thick skin that is discarded. And all the small-time banana growers I know, who use pesticides on other crops, just let their

That's true, and the AML laws for crypto are already becoming more strict, especially in Europe. But in practice, it will be much easier to evade those laws than it is with fiat transfers or moving physical cash/gold.

> But you’re reinventing money with extra steps. But you gain some desirable properties over traditional money. Without crypto, you don't have frictionless and permissionless transfers of arbitrary value across international borders

Unless the "baddie" in this case is the government, why would it be easy for anyone to obtain access to multiple secrets stored in multiple boxes/banks? Multisig is a pretty common setup for crypto and there is software that

Sure, they could. Would that be any different from how a bank could steal funds from a traditional deposit account? By making a bank the custodian of your crypto wallet, you're placing your trust in them and should have similar legal r

I think we just don't agree on what the problem is. I don't want a discussion platform protecting me from "dangerous" content that I am choosing to engage with.

How about let the user decide what he or she wants to see? Don't censor any discussion, but give users options on what things to hide, preferably with open source algorithms that anyone can create and share.

Doesn't Android show an indicator when the microphone is being used? Are they bypassing this?

> And I haven't started on the slavery side of the production side of the supply chain. That exists primarily because of the legal status. If cocaine were legal, for example, the production wouldn't be much worse than say coff

The solution to that problem is simple: legalize the sale of all drugs. Extortion is a common practice of drug gangs, whether they sell online or not.

Which part is hypocritical? I do support drug legalization and decriminalization of all "victimless" crimes. But I also realize that libertarian policies are unlikely to be adopted in today's political climate, so I also supp

> You need to be very clear about what you mean by "lab leak theory" Why? Are you implying that it was okay to censor discussion of some versions and not others?

Genuinely curious.. in what sense do you not consider SSL to be encryption?

Is the experience that different? I've never tried one, but I assumed the level of bureaucracy must be similar in order to defend against fraud and fulfill regulatory requirements.

It's this exact sentiment that drives many to crypto, despite the challenges in spending it at this point.

Does it actually make economic sense to run a cable large enough for that kind of power from Australia to Singapore? I would have guessed there must be enough domestic customers or in Indonesia that would make more sense.

It would be as accurate and make as much sense as saying the 100m finish line traveled to Usian Bolt in 9.6 seconds.

I had the same doubt, but my understanding is that all the image processing takes place before the camera app gets the image feed. Even with the OpenCamera app (which allows for manual focus control), I'm still getting the same quality
