A belief is economical if it exists today, and existing beliefs are economical. This tautological line of reasoning doesn't help explain the Catholic approach to anything.

by hudon 3y ago
The point stands: if your argument were true of the Catholic Church being ruled by money and doing whatever it economically can do to propagate, the Church would behave much differently than it currently does. But, the Church is not doing e

If economics ruled the Church, there are many dogmas that do not "play well to peasants" that could be dropped tomorrow for the sake of propagation.

It isn't at odds, since in both cases (euthanasia and medically-prolonged end-of-life), it is the human person that is trying to control the ultimate outcome of life. The Catholic approach is to say "let God decide".

To say that disabled people's lives have no value is vile, but that is not what he's saying. It's the unnecessary prolonging of suffering that Ivan Illich speaks against, the pressure to do everything humanly possible to eek

A move from SPA means business logic moves to the backend and becomes hypermedia-driven, so the correct comparison if you want to think about type safety is if the backend server is type-safe. htmx is mostly declarative and its correct use

I think the point is we chose a life of separation/distance, and now we whine about the relative discomfort of magically flying in the air thousands of miles in a few hours to cover that distance. Instead, we could either choose not to

Considering all the layoffs, the closed positions, and job listings suddenly skewing heavily towards "staff" engineers, we are in a buyers' market (ie. the employers have all the leverage right now).

Therefore, Bitcoin code has to have been always free of bugs (malicious or accidental). That has not been the case and will not be the case. The assumption doesn't hold, and double spends are therefore possible.

Even Autopilot can't be trusted in my experience. I've had it slam on the breaks countless times when the light changes (going under an overpass or through a tunnel). I've had it swerve over yellow lines, or onto the shoulder

You've drifted off-course. We were talking about whether or not double spends are possible in Bitcoin and now you're arguing about how banks deal with fraud refunds. peace!
47.
by hudon 3y ago
Yes, fraud also exists when you use real currency, and your bank will refund you for fraudulent charges. What's your point?
48.
by hudon 3y ago
Yes, there are other ways of stealing besides double spends. We're in agreement there. And I think we can both further agree that someone that isn't us modifies the code of the Bitcoin node we run on our devices. Unless you'r

Devs can commit fraud without anyone knowing is my point, actually. Picture a scenario like the 2013 Bitcoin fork but with a twist: a dev introduces a bug that allows a transaction to spend bitcoin without corresponding inputs, and triggers

by hudon 3y ago
It only seems to solve it in theory. However in a world of centralized mining where devs have high influence on how forks are treated, the double spend problem is still a problem. This is because what distinguishes forks can be their “valid

it's possible to train yourself to resist against intrusive thoughts. If you indulge in them, your resistance goes down and they reappear more often and stronger. It's like a muscle.

Laws have to be taken in the context of the culture in which they exist. If the culture is one in which it is normal to produce and watch the sexual abuse of children (ai generated or otherwise), then that culture should definitely not ha

by hudon 3y ago
of course the category of victims of watching the sexual abuse children (ai generated or otherwise) is broad. It's a terrible thing. You definitely do not fight sexualizing children by normalizing the production of child sexual abuse m

Let me make it clearer then: Children are the ultimate victims of sexualizing children.

To think the top-voted comment is one approving of child porn, and your comment is getting downvoted... we've truly come to a bad part of the slippery slope. To answer the grand-parent: the victims of this behavior are yourself and the

We'll have to disagree. My observation is that nodes have, historically (see 2017), been used as a way to decide which miners were mining "Bitcoin" and which miners were mining "some other thing". The whole point ma

by hudon 3y ago
Well, which chain is the fork? Who's rules are you using as the arbiter? What kind of node you run and what it outputs has a direct effect on what is perceived as being "Bitcoin", as opposed to "a fork of Bitcoin".

You vote for consensus rules with your node. A chain with more proof of work, but that is violating the rules that nodes have formed consensus on, is ignored.
