You're proposing that a) Selling $50 billion worth of stock in a company, b) Government takes ownership of Facebook, or some combination thereof of the two actions. Yes, it is novel to do that.

I'm giving my house to my nephew ... and it just happens that my brother is giving his house to my kid. How many generations out do you plan to ban? Cause it might be a good time for me to start getting to know my extended cousins. ;)

If Mark Zuckerberg and his wife is hit by a truck tomorrow. Is the US government taking over FB? Cause I don't see the kid getting $50 billion to pay the tax bill.

Tax deduction for the researcher, not Apple (note the original GP was about "altruistic / independently wealthy researchers").

How would "doing something" be the default action over "doing nothing"? Regardless, you can make up all kind of reasons (for both sides), to justify this or that being the default action. But in the end, it's al

It was a plurality support, not majority. The super majority didn't even vote.

Well, this is heresy. Does that mean we are now officially boycotting Uber? Joke asides, one thing I've been trying to figure out for awhile is the limitation at which certain components/ systems broke down. Basically, something a

Is this comment a sarcastic response ? I really couldn't tell.

Judges don't get involve in contract that are not in dispute (that includes enforcement), so functionally most contracts do not need costly enforcement either. There are a lot of real world contracts that already automate (bank deducti

I'm not surprised that the non-programmer segment of ETH supports the hard fork, but (imo) it should be very easy for those familiar with software development to see why it has to be absolute 100% or rather completely useless. Specific

The "liberal" identity in US is a lossy projection of many different ideology axes to a single one, and is much more closely to just mean "the left" than the definition you meant. I do not believe that they are any more

Do you really believe that the world would be a better place if the US has more commitment to NATO?

by NhanH 10y ago
Yes, and if ETH is behaving the same as US dollars then there is no reason not to just stick to US dollars.

You seems to selectively cut out and either skim or didn't read my full post. Except the last paragraph, my full comment has little to do with autonomous driving and just driving/ morality with regard to driving in general. No, I

by NhanH 10y ago
Thanks for your response. That's certainly an interesting way to think about driving (in a good way). Your previous posts would have done better by elaborate that way. Just a bit of clarifying, I didn't call the situations rare or

I don't even drive at all, and yet this thread irks me from the other direction. Dehumanization is an age-old tactic for enabling asshole behaviors, and bringing children into a discussion is an age old tactic for justifying irrational

That seems like an incredibly weak argument: if an attacker has physical access to the machine, all bets are off. How do you know that there wasn't anything installed to MITM everything already?

Additionally, it seems to me like the gun control crowd advocate in the US is not going directly for the 2nd amendment, but instead trying to go for a route that will cause valid concern (5th and 6th amendment violation for the recent bill

Right, I don't actually disagree with your statement in principle, it was more of a nit-picking kind of thing. Most law system would not be cleanly civil or common law, but a gradient between the two. I guess I was thinking it being mo
