It is possible the gp post just feels neutral about it. There are a whole range of emotions between love and hate.

Let me be very clear, I am not disagreeing with your point. Nor am I agreeing. I’m simply stating that your conclusion does not follow for the form of your argument, and providing an alternative example.

Alcohol has been in use for ~7000 years yet society only began broadly recognizing it as harmful during pregnancy in the 1970s. [0] I don’t think the form of your argument holds any weight. Would you make the same claim regarding the use of

I’ve had this thought a few times, but am pretty entrenched in 1Password with hundreds of logins. I’m curious if you know about a good migration tool to get these into the Apple password manager?

There are plenty of angle guides that’ll help you set a specific angle. They tend to be object specific though because they typically involve clamping the blade to hold it in a fixed position. For example the Lansky and Worksharp Precision

I find the best way to think about a honing steel is that you’re micro beveling the edge. [0] The images there help develop an intuition of what angle will work well. That said it may be irrelevant if your universal sharpener is doing the t

I see no reason they couldn’t change the content rather than just delete it. In fact the article shows an example of exactly that in practice. Sure you can back up an image, but the backup is worth the same as a copy of the NFT: zip. You no

They can change the content, you’ll just know they did it. Much like if my watch gets stolen I’ll know, but I still don’t have a watch anymore.

I think what they were trying to say was that buying them off chain would be extremely unfavorable as the buyer gains zero of the protections that a blockchain claims to offer in this case.

That makes sense, haha. That probably is the word I would have removed as well in that case. :)

Two major issues with this; 1) I'm not familiar with tax laws in India (or Brazil) but in many places this would trigger gift taxes, imposing a large financial overhead to this transaction. 2) The regulatory bodies monitoring for illeg

What happens when the chain devotes from reality? Let’s take the house title. I stop paying but refuse to sign a transaction giving up ownership. I get a divorce and destroy the key out of spite. I sell the house but have lost the key, can

I think you’re right that they just have to stop asking for payment but I assume those payments were included in the budget. The shortfall will need to be made up somewhere. Either higher taxes or fewer services.

I hesitate to even comment given the divisive nature of the thread but… Hummers cost north of $100k USD. Assuming the mayor of Vancouver’s salary is listed in CAD it isn’t enough to buy one after tax. Furthermore on that salary it probably

The lawyer involved costs a lot more, and is likely what GP post is asking about.

Does the bill’s involvement in a ransom reduce the value of the bill or implicate me in any way? I’ve never considered someone morally responsible for the provenance of their money outside their control. Maybe I’m missing the point.

I’ve always used the term trivialization to describe this. I once gave a manager feedback to stop doing it, granted theirs could be characterized as being overly optimistic in their report’s capabilities. In response they bought a shock bra

This ex post facto explanation is referred to as rationalization and is ironically irrational. If you’ve already made a decision you’ve forfeited the option to do so rationally. I do agree that most of what gets labeled rational is in fact

The issue with a sales tax is that it taxes on consumption instead of income. Consumption needs (as opposed to wants) stop increasing somewhere at around ~100k/yr (adjust for location). A high earner is incentivized to save most of the
