Thanks - so asking a single question can hardly be called sealioning.

While these good options may be available, average people probably simply don't know about them. How would they?

I don't fully understand the concept of sea lioning. Basically asking any question at all is "sea lioning", if the person being asked doesn't want to answer? OP made one statement, I asked one question, and it is sea lio

All the OP said is "I don't like Bitcoin people", without giving any reasons (even saying he can't give reasons). Why should people assume he made an informed decision, based on merely that? Also, many comments really sh

If you mine a Bitcoin and don't spend it, you are making the remaining Bitcoins more valuable (in theory). You have reduced the overall supply. With Bitcoin, the maximum number of Bitcoins that will ever exist is fixed. It doesn't

I doubt Zimbabwe Dollar paper is worth millions, but OK... I'll check the value of the Reichsmark, but again, I suspect the market is limited. Network going down: in theory you could keep it up with a Raspberry Pie, so I suppose somebo

What do you mean by "farms that potentially devalue the currency every single second"?

The value of Bitcoin is not something Bitcoin makes any promises about. The technology is obviously not a scam. At most it could turn out that it has technical flaws, like the crypto algorithms could be broken or whatever. People selling yo

That seems rather silly. I am not going to hound you about your dislike of Bitcoin people. You are ENTITLED to dislike them. I just note that you have no idea what you are talking about and therefore discount your opinion accordingly.

"What about government supported fiat money implemented with blockchain?" Not sure how that would supposedly work. There is one interesting application of government, though: the distribution of the coins. That is what all the cry

No another app is just another implementation for a wallet. That is what I meant by apps - in response to Schneier's argument that you have to trust the software anyway.

Maybe with Bitcoin I have to trust the software a little bit, but at least if it turns out to be faulty, I can switch to another app. That's much harder to do with governments controlling fiat money. Or with banks. What is a person sup

Did you ever go to such a meetup? What exactly annoyed you about the people?

Replicated, too?

I must admit, I don't see how positive thinking could possibly help? Assuming suicides are usually a result of violence (bullying by peers, pressure by parents and teachers...). Wouldn't it be better to show practical ways out of

But "practicing mindfulness" is suggesting the cure is easy (pretty sure the science is shaky, at least positive thinking isn't proven to work?). Actually working on issues might work better, and might also not be easy.

"children and teenagers struggling to get to grips with how they fit into the increasingly complex modern world" Isn't that basically the job of children, and has always been? Not to denounce the efforts to improve their ment

Not Markov chain, but I have been wondering about Dwarf Fortress. Some stories of Dwarf Fortress sound quite interesting. So I wonder if an automated writeup of an automated Dwarf Fortress game could yield something worthwhile.

Maybe the AI also considers ratings of the band. Then it would be no more unethical than online shops displaying customer satisfaction ratings? In any case the AI could make several educated guesses on how good the band is. Quality of the v

Don't smaller businesses also pay less taxes to begin with? Not sure how it works, especially in France. Even small businesses may have several ways of reducing taxes? What is the minimum income for considering the "What is the Do

It doesn't seem fair to compare reading books to the worst possible things you can do on a screen device. And the argument made was about physical exercise and engagement with real people. I think that's a problem of all those stu

Amazon didn't kill bookstores - people could have continued to shop in bookstores all they want. Amazon doesn't force anybody to not go to a bookstore. There are actually still bookstores and other stores around to this day, in mo

I don't find those much more convincing. Mostly they say the negative effect comes from missing out on physical activity (in older children). For babies, I am not sure what to think. Who watches 1 hour of movies with their baby? Were t

I wonder if she would have kept up the same good work if she had been paid for it. Not meaning it in a bad way, I mean the difference of doing it for fun and doing it for money.

"Don't run apps that you don't trust" So basically no apps at all.

There are many other app stores. Most phones are locked down, so you can not simply use another app store, though.

I have read several stories about happy coal miners, actually. There seems to be something about the companionship among coal miners that makes it great (for them). In general - if somebody does a job, presumably the alternatives would be w
