Wow, you cherry-picked parts of that out and left out the part where they admit their science was wrong and say there is no way to prove/disprove. Re-read the last paragraph of that 2005 criticism section to see the authors admitting i

Using electricity as a proof of investment is still a waste of electricity. Proof of work is to establish that money is being spent. A less wasteful system wouldn't convert money into electricity to feed into computations to prove that

That's better than taking action that is actually meaningless and thinking you've done something (e.g. the CA unsolicited drinking water ban or people unplugging inactive phone chargers). People who do things like this to get thei

>Countries currently plan to reduce their emissions, but none are planning to reduce their fossil fuel exports. They just hope it will show up on another country's emissions balance sheet. That's not how markets work, at all. O

>If there is real scarcity because of climate change or other widespread disaster, how much can a piece of this ‘quality’ be sold for? A loaf of bread, or less? First, if it's just from climate change, it will be gradual increase in

>There's a lot to be said for the simplicity of an outright ban. Ban ICEs. Do this and a massive chunk of the population will die shortly after. There is no alternative to farm and transport food at the scale required for the modern

Whether we raise it or hunt it, it's still our dinner and we are competing for it.

The earth isn't the thing buying stuff. It's people. Once population count goes stagnant or starts to decline then a lot of investment models will have problems.

How do you know? Are you privy to the minutes of the secret rich white people meetings where they decide priorities?

Attempting to frame it as class warfare is a perfect way to lose support from a significant portion of the US population. "I'm Robin hood stealing from rich people" doesn't work for the people on the right who are more l

> I wouldn't be surprised if most of the people who object to this are sexists. What? You point out the problems with how dumb this law is and then turn around and accuse anyone of objecting to it being a sexist?
252.
by hueving 8y ago
How about we don't pass blatantly sexist laws in the first place instead? What is the problem you're 'trying' to fix that doesn't apply to any other minority?

by hueving 8y ago
Your response to blatant hypocrisy is really just saying it doesn't matter right now?

Why isn't the excuse of "representing the public" used to require certain members have a particular religion or race as well? What about income? Board members are about as far from representing society as you can get (and tha

The point is that you shouldn't take a regular market salary. Software people can live on way less than what the market currently offers so if you pay yourself the competitive rate you're burning a lot of your runway pointlessly.

Precious metals have a very long history of protecting against inflation risk, which is why many investors own them. Crypto currency is not anywhere near that category because they haven't been around even 20 years and the prices suffe

You tried to use population density of the state as a point. Do you know what the average population density of a state means?

And relative to new jersey, the demand for housing in California is near zero. See how dumb that sounds?

>does it always take a close call like this (or worse) to bring up such a proposal? At this point yes. There is a saying that "FAA regulations are written in blood" as a result. It seems conservative on the surface but at this

I don't think you even know what your point is. Population density of an entire state has absolutely nothing to do with "nobody" wanting to live in the state. If Alaska decided to merge with California the population density

by hueving 8y ago
Average population density is your argument? Do you realize how stupid that is? By your measurement nobody wants to live in California because everyone wants to live in New Jersey.

It's par for the course. Cisco helped China build the GFW. If you want to prevent business in China related to censorship, then pass a law that does that. Don't senselessly target Google just because it's popular with consume

What standards are you referring to? There are no US standards or laws against what Google is proposing.

by hueving 8y ago
There is no law against what Google is doing. This is nothing like the theft argument.

>Yea, but I'm a big fan of regulated food, clean water and pollution standards. Completely irrelevant. There are no US laws against private companies building censorship tools in the US, let alone in China.

>One thing that is true in all successful organizations over time is that for any given person, no amount of genius will make up for being an asshole. That's why Linux usage and contributions have collapsed over the last 30 years.

What research? This seems pretty much impossible to scientifically measure since there are no two organizations that are the same, let alone two organizations that have leaders identical in everything but their attitude.

A large chunk of frequent contributors are paid by companies to heave features/drivers at the kernel with no regard to doing it the right way. To them it's about landing code ASAP. Linus is already working in the win/win quad
