That works the other way too, no? If you're trying to build the next regime, censorship is one of your tactics. Karl Popper's Paradox of Tolerance comes to mind, but my issue with that is who gets to decide what is intolerant? I d

I like Christopher Hitchen's take on matters like these: "And one person gets up and says, “you know what, this holocaust, I’m not even sure it happened. In fact, I’m pretty certain it didn’t. Indeed, I begin to wonder if t

"The State can be replaced democratically." Tell that to my friend who had his family's fortune wiped out in Argentina twice due to government seizure and hyperinflation before fleeing the country. Are these people just suppo

I moved my funds from Binance shortly after their CFO jumped ship. Where there's smoke, there's fire.

It pains me to see how someone could see no value in having a medium of exchange outside of any government currency control. One of my ex-coworkers had his family's fortune wiped out twice in Argentina due to government seizure and hyp

Why does every discussion about Bitcoin's environmental impact reduce to "it uses a lot of electricity therefore it should be stopped". We're not going to shut down entire sectors of the economy because of their environm

Elon already clarified that Tesla did not sell their Bitcoin.

Sure, but that's not the point they were trying to make in the post.

Yeah, and we could waste billions of dollars and lives (in the future) on space exploration due to programmer errors. Guess we should stop that too.

Yeah, yeah, it's the same shtick from HN technologists about anything new whether it's blockchain, JavaScript frameworks, or even Docker way back when. I stopped heeding the tech elitists here a long time ago and have nothing but

It's not really surprising. HN loathes any technology with a ton of hype surrounding it. 14 years in currency trading/quant/FinTech. Regardless of the tech, if you don't own at least some BTC/ETH at this point, I do

I didn't find it too out of date. I used the latest versions of everything and the only thing I had to update myself was the React section for the frontend to use hooks. Packt books regularly go on sale for $5-$10 so you can also wait
