So long as you accept that Bitcoin therefore has no future as a stable currency and will remain a speculative virtual asset. In which case, enjoy the crypto casino

No, and this is exactly the problem. There's a difference between telling the truth civilly and doing so as an a-hole. It's amazing people struggle so much to distinguish the two.

I think that's the main problem with 4chan, the whole ethos is built around being hostile under a veneer of 'brutal honesty.' The immaturity of such behaviour wears thin quickly after the first few laughs, unless you like the

Because the large companies have other incentives in promoting office work as the better solution.

I think that would be more like Roald Dahl doing it himself. This is like Disney doing those changes to Star Wars, and you could just imagine that outrage. I think it is sad that people think we must change stories to reflect 'modern

I think people forget that the artists painting from life did not have static shadows and lighting to paint, but likely had to imagine or try to remember them later after painting in the live figures.

Which means it sounds more like living under tyranny through threat of violence more than harmony.

Better instead to censor and crush dissent then? If communal harmony is that fragile, it is not communal harmony.

If Muslims and Hindus have found peace then this would not create disharmony...

"Communal disharmony." A lovely term to justify a good old dose of authoritarianism or censorship, for 'the greater good' (or 'communal harmony' in this case).

And those in the powerful positions feel that the solution is to be harder on the populace, censor them, be less transparent and blame them rather than, I don't know, being more honest and transparent themselves. It's astounding h

Paxos got served a Wells notice, with indication enforcement action will follow.

Highly likely someone has evidence that their 'stablecoin' is backed by thin air rather than actual dollars, which could be considered a minor bit of large scale fraud...

Like all good Ponzi schemes, they work until they don't. The crypto exchanges have a handy benefit of being able to block withdrawals in multiple ways, including 'technical issues' or 'verification issues' etc. Prob

Michio Kaku said something in an interview a while ago that struck me: to think about the universe being billions of years old, there is no reason there aren't planets out there millions of years of advancement ahead of us. And just i

But of course, the large numbers of users on reddit, twitter etc complaining of such issues is just a bot army organised by anti-Tether 'FUDders' to spread mistruths. Bitfinex don't do that because you can't withdraw di

Tether (and the others) don't have to make redemptions. People attempting to repeated find there are sudden issues with the network, or the oddly need to re-verify themselves (and fail) repeatedly, or some other random issue occurs.

I do wonder which powers are really behind (i.e. supporting/owning) Tether and their related cartels, because most of this is well documented and obvious now and yet they carry on as they wish.

Follow Bitfinex'ed (or M Cryptadamus, or Molly White) or on twitter, you'll see why... There are many 'sudden problems' that come up when people try to cash out...

Ah but as with AI generally before now, 'you can't stop progress.' It'll end up being used and falling into an arms race of better AI vs better detection, all the while losing the point of why it is there at all in the

You really are living in a rose-tinted reality, or being deliberately disingenuous. Of course we can talk about it now, the evidence is piling up enough that it can't be censored without it being obvious. We're at the point now w

I suppose you don't live rurally... But they both have trade-offs. Wireless allows many connections at once rather easily at the cost of interference and (potentially) speed and reliability, cable is more expensive up front if infrast

Well I could make that assumption... and make the whole conversation pointless.

What world have you been living in to miss all the documented reality of the government and co censoring, deplatforming and manipulating social/traditional media to reduce that. You're painting a very rosy picture of reality here

Exactly, it's not 'desperate to link them to vaccines,' but that it is 'desperate to find any reason at all before even looking at vaccines.' Considering the distrust of both Pharma and government (both sides) that

Exactly. Even the global media could put enough pressure on really, but I don't see evidence of them being 'interested.'
