This isn't anything Russia hasn't been doing for decades. It has been spreading propaganda for a long time, it cannot even be compared to UK or US or any other developed country censorship levels. Putin wipes out everything that i

Your wish sounds very romantic. I place my bet on commercial exploration. Private companies soon will have money that can be compared to government's income, and government will be only one among many possible investors.

His definition of currency is nonsensical. He gave a valid point, but it has little to do whether a unit is a currency or not. Wasn't he the one who initially called bitcoin "rat's poison"? Wonder who he referred to as &

Either that or you could inspect every line of OS source code before compiling and then inspect every machine code of compiler executable to make sure compiler is not infected.

Nobody can say for sure the bitcoins in that address are stolen. But it would be very possible to reject bitcoins from certain addresses, and the protocol don't need to be changed. All it would take is make a client to reject to includ

Well, since the script seems to be influenced by Arabic writings, authors should have known Arabic numbering too. But it's not clear if these are original writings, as you said, we should look into previous research.

If I remember correctly from earlier discussions about this script, these numbers were written much later by some other owners to keep track of the ordering.

Existance of Voynich-A and Voynich-B dialects supports the theory that the script was invented by a small group of people. Different languages also is consistent with the theory that the script is written in some language that didn't p

As for the Nazi being among the people, I see it like this: the enemy of your enemy is your friend. So it is natural to join forces for a shared goal. The people won't let Nazi take power. And Ukraine is not a battlefield created by su

As I understand, they are hoping to achieve fusion ignition, where no additional external energy will be required to generate power. So current efficiency calculations are irrelevant in that case.

I don't know whether to agree with this or not. On one hand, a control point can easily be exploited by governments to censor and control users. On other, uncontrolled internet tends to form around where money is. And money is again in

As magnet falls, it is slowed down, this drag is created because magnetic forces are resisting gravity. So after some time, magnet loses that force, I just wonder how long does it take. It can't fall slowly like that forever.
