No, I don't get a less stressful life, I'd get a much more stressful one. One, maybe two years I earn a lot, and then 2-5 years next to nothing. I must plan my life according to the needs of my mental health, not fiscal calendar

I don't feel special because the same thing applies to every programmer I know. How could I in any way feel special when I'm just the same as others? I said it because I wanted you to feel how the market is, not because it makes m

I don't see it as greed, I see it as rejection of corporate greed at their expense. Why should a corporation make more money from your work when others like you are not giving them as much?

You must be very young, I remember when mobile phones had Ni-Cd batteries and it was very bad (you could even casually destroy your battery by charging it incorrectly!). Li-Ion felt like a huge revolution, and the improvements it had since

Neoliberalism calls for elimination of social services? I know it as the exact opposite! Who defines these terms? Who defines what is canonical?

I assume this is a reply to my comment. What you're saying here is right, but I have no idea why you're saying it as I really don't care about being special, at all. Never crossed my mind until now, and nobody ever told me so

Why would they not pay? Perhaps they don't care about the .8 USD they'll lose the opportunity to gain?

(capital) (asset), not (capital asset) I'm not well versed on English/US accounting terms, this was not intended. Where I live, I pay a "capital gains tax" on my "assets" - including Bitcoin.

I wouldn't call it easy - they might be able to see what is publicly shared, but shouldn't have any non-public access to the other computers/devices. But most of all, they wouldn't dare. Mistakes and individual excesses

Yeah, especially if it's not absolutely necessary (e.g. the goal would be otherwise impossible). I'd be okay if they regulated telco carriers a little bit more than they already do; much more okay than with anything resembling wha

I can't decide if your comment is intentional misinformation or just plain clueless. Bitcoin is obviously capital asset. People pulling out of a capital asset in order to consume doesn't underline anything, just as pulling out of

Why is SMS auth (like my bank does, with plain HTML/CSS pages) not sufficient? Anyways, my government is sending me SMS for auth anyways and won't stop anytime soon. No need to introduce yet another requirement on the citizens.

That's one of the big problems of states. Every power you give a state government, there's someone (not one - thousands, if not more) waiting to do bad things with it. And while they're busy with it, the other part will keep

Never say a negative thing to your subordinate, especially not about something they spent a lot of time on. It's always possible to frame a sensible point constructively.

That doesn't change anything about it being bullshit. Web is still there and better than ever, and works on every platform too (as it always did). For their purposes, it's feasible to render only the most basic HTML/CSS and p

But that's a complete lie. There is the web, which has worked more than well enough for all government-personal contact purposes way before Android and iOS even existed. It's only now that they stopped caring about web and do the
