Sure, there would be a black market for it, but that black market would be a lot smaller than the open market we have right now. There’s plenty of legal ways of exchanging cryptocurrencies for real currencies, shutting those down would be a

I understand and respect your decision to moderate my comment, and I’ll be more careful going forward. But I would like to point out that a rule that allows someone to openly state they discriminate during interviews but forbids a strong re

Here’s an idea, get rid of cryptocurrencies and the need for KYC basically vanishes.

You do see how discriminatory your statement is right? Replace “wearing a suit” with literally anything else unrelated to programming skills. Wearing a dress. Having a particular speech pattern. Being old. As soon as you start judging peopl

This feels like such a narrow view of the world. Not necessarily discriminatory, but on the path to get there. So what if a candidate wants to look good? How you feel about your looks affects your confidence, and you want to be confident in

Sure, they can leave, but if their companies want access to the US market they have to pay taxes. Capital flight is a red herring.

Maybe the reason you haven’t heard about it is that you don’t know any billionaires? That, and that the US is a tax haven for the super rich, so they have no reason to leave.

The killer app is crime. Old scams have flourished. Entire new forms of scam have been invented. Crypto currency has been a game changer for criminal organizations.

Because we’ve already automated everything else. What’s left is work that’s done by specialists. The entire pitch behind AI is that it can automate these jobs. If you can’t trust it, then AI is useless. Excluding art theft obviously.

The Wrights were successful and influential, yes. But they were not the first. Unless you cherry pick criteria to disqualify everyone else. Which is what you’re doing.

I think security is within the purview of a browser. Even if I disagree with the implementation. And AMP is not a browser feature.

HK and Xinjiang are already part of china. Tibet and Taiwan have historical ties. China has no expansionist ambitions, they just want what they perceive as theirs. And like, idk if you know this, but the world bank and the IMF are the ones

What do browsers do that they weren’t meant to? The only thing that comes to mind is password management. But I would also argue that’s a boon for normal users and trust in the web.

I agree with up that you have to take revenue into account as well. However, as an NPO Mozilla has no mandate to grow at all costs. What’s the benefit of having Mozilla be this huge? How does it compare to the risk of shutting down if their
