Why is this even an FBI case? What exactly makes this an FBI case? Why we want this to be an FBI case? I don't know much about American law. I was under impression that things are reserved to states unless important reason for them to

It's not the child. It's a fetus. It does not have rights that trump the right of the mother to abort. Also, if having a son is so important for them, there is a reason for that. We are talking about very poor people. Whole thing

What is premature and what is not? Is choosing fit for a job data structures a premature optimization? I don't think so. But I've seen people arguing against it.

We need a reform. One that would remove the idea that one can collect royalties from the work. Royalties are incompatible with the way information is disseminated. Authors don't collect royalties. Absolute majority of authors don'

It is already working at scale. If you are using google maps' navigation, you are driving like this today. The only difference - instead of doing altruistic thing by your own volition, you are likely being misled by nav system to take

> All of the things you listed are in the miners control. May I ask you to elaborate? My point is - miners' power over the network is extremely limited. They are just a paid work force, working on a very small margin. They have almo

Wrong. Economic majority decides which fork will live and which fork will die. Miners have no say. If they are unhappy, they may attempt to attack fork abiding to new rules. Whey have three venues of attack. 1. Producing blocks that abide t

Alt-right is defined by its identity politics. Anti-feminism is not anti-women's-rights. Stuff you are listing (minus UKIP) is shared by everyone to the right of the progressives. Including liberals.

Now, what that tells us about action in opposite direction? How to spoil the kid? Tell it that he should feel no gratitude because wealth distribution is random and that hard work, merit, or discipline matter.

Most of mining is being done using power that has no other buyers, with very preferential prices per KwpH in exchange for promise of taking all available power during particular hours. Also, mining is being done far far away from places whe

I never said it is panacea. I said it is civilizational game changer. Some of your intuitions are wrong because they assume no source of cheap energy. With cheap clean energy you can scrub CO2 out of air, you can rework any nasty byproduct

Bitcoin was released at 2009. Since then, this is the first kidnapping probably linked to cryptocurrencies. Yeah, this is definitely a trend. Since people are publicly boasting about their crypto fortunes and kidnappers has published their

Your opinion is just that your opinion. Everyone has one. As for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies - they are physical fact. When ideas and physical reality collide - ideas get smashed.

This is exactly what I was talking about. Ultimately their technical vision is different from opinions of large group of outsiders, such as you. Allowing you to input your opinion into the dev process would effectively block it. Fortunately

You've missed his point. First. Its not that EQ does not describe certain personal characteristics. It is that EQ can actually be described as a combination of other existing, well established traits. Thus it is not an independent vari
