"Michael... now has 30 BTC, now worth $3 million, and is waiting for the value to rise to $100,000 per coin." Can someone help me understand this? If his 30 BTC are now worth $3 million, that comes down to $100,000 per coin. But h

Maybe, I'm not sure though. The "because" part is pretty directly saying that caring more about your family/hobbies/life than the app you're building at work is what makes them mediocre developers.

How is that clickbaity? It's playing a 639-year-long piece. You could change chords on a million year long piece (that started 30 seconds ago), but no one would care. This has been playing for 23 years.

In your analogy when you say buying directly from the farmer by paying with cash, what does that translate to in the real world? How are you supporting content creators on YouTube if you block ads?

The article didn't say he committed his crimes in the name of white supremacy. It referred to him as "white-supremacist terrorist Timothy McVeigh".

No one said that everyone horrific is a war criminal, this is a straw man argument. The claim is that someone who personally "approved each of the 3,875 Cambodia bombing raids" that killed 150,000 civilians can reasonably be calle

If your argument starts with "Sure, he micromanaged the bombing of innocent civilians but", then I think you've gotten lost in the technicalities of being right on the Internet.

But that's the difference, the CEO is not a regular employee. If a board of directors wants to be trusted and taken seriously it can't just fire the CEO and say "I'm sorry we can't say why, that's private infor

Fair enough, I understand better where you're coming from. Thanks!

Are you basing that on any information?

But he's acting as a board member firing the CEO because he arguably believes it's the right thing to do for the company. If he then changes his mind because the fired CEO continued a successful career then I'd say that decis

It is quite amazing how many people know enough to pass wide judgment on hundreds of people because... they just know. Feel it in their gut.

by framapotari 3y ago
What? Do you think it would be understandable for a board member to regret firing the CEO because of his career path post-firing?

by framapotari 3y ago
Exactly; there are multitudes of reasons and very little information so why pick any one of them?

Maybe he follows through with it if he doesn't like the offer. Systematic threats don't have to be empty.

I see this sentiment often and I understand the idea, but how can you implement this "no doubt he did it, very clear cut case" level of guilt? We already have Guilty which is supposed to mean that guilt has been proven beyond reas

Without medication, I feel much less in control of my mind. It's like I'm in a mind-fog; every long-term thought is blurry and vague so everything tends to become about the short-term. I know that eating this sugary garbage is bad

Naivety seems to imply that what they are doing is wrong, or a mistake, but they don't understand it fully. Don't you think that's a paternalistic view? Do you know what's best for those women?
