The literature about this topic that I know (limited) doesn't talk about recovered memory, or any memory much at all.

The idea that parents don't matter is far fetched. All developmental trauma is the work of parental neglect and abuse, and that's so widespread today.

One problem was that people started believing that there's no such thing as beauty. How do you build a beautiful building, if you think beauty is an illusion anyway? I have the idea that it's related to atheism. Once you believe a

By contrast, I thought it's really well presented. It is a permanent license, only the patches are stopping after a year. I was even hoping by myself they have the good sense to offer optional auto-renewal. The larger picture is, sel

Reading this piece is kinda boring. As usual, the root cause is a design defect in their backup-restore functionality. And it's at a complexity level any senior developer could have pointed out to be posing a fatal risk to the company.

Permanent license with one year of upgrades is - for serious users - a yearly subscription. With a price tag of $25 that sounds quite reasonable and also viable.

Many people would like to see their loved ones live in freedom, too. That means in probably almost 100% of the cases making sub-optimal decisions.

I believe one of the best keywords for starting to address the modern epidemic of depression, inability to build relationships, excessive focus on materialist goals, and other problems is developmental trauma. The cause for this trauma is u

To call that bend on the Volga where Kazan is located Europe shows how much you need to stretch the facts to support that view. Citing Bosnia might have helped your point better, I guess.

It might be the best approach is to offer a commercial license alongside the open source one, in a subscription model. It's just what fits into the preconceptions of a business. They get an invoice, they get a something in return, case

Interesting how destructive shame can be. I think there is a parallel to how the whole west currently is shaming itself into oblivion for the many alleged unforgivable -isms.

Sure. I'm not going to get into an emotional argument with you here. These are complex questions, and we're not going to settle them here conclusively. These discussions have been raging for hundreds of years. I was just offering

So why not choose (1)? This seems to have been the strategy in the past with similar risks. And it avoids the costs of freedom and live at the same time. What am I missing?

The situation in Berlin before the policy change was that the city government had made it very hard to build apartments at all. Each time a project it developed, the developer is blackmailed into supporting various unrelated policies, being

I can see where you're coming from and it's consistent reasoning. I also agree my scenario isn't substantiated (at all) yet, even though I believe it to be not uncommon in the crypto community. I will put my thoughts on this

The grids are large, but the transport is very inefficient. That's why Bitcoin mining is becoming an alternative to previous ways to avoid wasting energy surplus, like melting aluminum ore.

Bitcoin miners use surplus energy in remote places with lots of thermal or hydroelectric power. Remote China and Iceland. This electricity often can't be put to any other use anyway. The price of energy is probably enough to ensure thi

To downvote on this is shortsighted. Some sort of karma rot (or whatever you want to call it) it will be necessary if SO wants to stay relevant. GP's comment implies that almost. I understand that this might come across as envious, but

I didn't feel personally attacked, only in the chess-of-ideas sense, which is fair. Regardless of that, I agree with both statements your make on blockchain. I was after something else.

Who do you think the people trust when they buy bitcoin? Is it the trust in your basement miner and your smartphone wallet, or is it perhaps the control through bitcoin core code? This trust amounts to 160bn USD per today.
