There's a perverse incentive to jail people driven by the stupid war on drugs. Besides, if someone steals a bread leaf, they might go to jail at the expense of the whole society. This has to change. Justice should not be punitive, but

You don't see that most proof-of-stake still requires a tremendous amount of energy and resources wasted at the very least for the stupid mining process?

by henvic 5y ago
Yes, like most if not all current cryptos: it's either stupid energy waste or fraud.

10% over something that is pure speculation and has no value whatsoever seems like really high. If anything, this just makes me feel confident about my prediction.

Society is losing the opportunity to create a lot of wealth because people are investing in silly proof-of-work (or: energy/resource wasting) ideas. It's awful, and I guess we're only going to see this over once Bitcoin is su

Is this you? https://github.com/jen20 If so, maybe you want to use my https://github.com/henvic/httpretty Just give me, say, $300/month, and I'm taking out all ads from my website. Don't

Okay, but now how about you pay me and everyone else who uses ads to remove them?

by henvic 5y ago
Guess what I find the 'remove all ads' arguments? Much less persuasive.

If you're this worried about being tracked, you can always choose to turn off cookies, JavaScript, and maybe try the ToR browser. No problem with this either! If I placed a magnetic beacon holder in my arm, I sure wouldn't bother.

I'm gladly going to remove all my ads on my page if you promise to give me money through GitHub Sponsors or something lol Money matters. Not everyone is rich to not care about that. In my case, what I make is still below what makes a d

You didn't get the core idea of my calculation: to show that Netflix has times of magnitude more than just 36k hours of content.

by henvic 5y ago
I'd advice you stop charging and just place Amazon ads on your page. Besides being safer as people said, it'd easily generate more money for you. Ads are not "worse", and it's going to be safer for you, and you coul

Back-of-the-envelope calculation: a slacker suffering from insomnia watching 5 streams of Netflix at once × 20 hours/day × 365 days non-stop would otherwise watch the whole catalog in less than a year. Convinced?

by henvic 5y ago
Your numbers are off. Netflix has more than 36.000 hours of content.

This is one of the most awful things of the current state justice systems around the world: persecution of victimless and minor crimes. In the came of victimless crimes, well, just get rid of it! In the case of minor crimes, reparation shou

The way you said it, I imagine that you'd be willing to let a 'less errors' (instead of 'few errors') slip without trying to educate whoever made the error about this, if you were reviewing something (for example).

As a non-native speaker of English, I really dislike this idea. I indeed make this very error, but I prefer to rely on tools such as Grammarly to help me improve my abilities, than to other people to start accepting my mistakes as basically

Thankfully one language (English, but whatever language it is might not be that relevant) is becoming 'de facto' the language for sciences, and kids are starting to learn it from an earlier age. It's still a long way to go, e

No. It's more along the lines of: It doesn't make sense to give conspiracy theorists any space for the sake of neutrality.

Why does it has to be unbiased? Alas, there's no such thing as unbiased.

No. First, it's not fair to them. Second, if you create such regulations, do you really know who would benefit from them? It wouldn't be the consumers, but these companies. There's a thing called regulatory capture ( https:&#

State just knows to increase taxes and do war. No, thanks. Let people flourish in peace. We need liberty to grow as individuals. Otherwise, we're going to end up having only crony corporations and statism.

Awful. Poor people are having tax money stolen from them to move head-of-state mummies... Even long-dead mummies are making people's lives miserable, lol.
