First of all, I know a little something about how routing works. I've written a simplified implementation of OSPF and also BGP. I've been an engineer at a backbone hardware provider before. That said, I have never seen any convi

This is mostly nonsense. If you don't want to use an LN hub, then create your own. If you don't have enough money, then raise some capital and start a LN hub business. Hell, create a non-profit LN hub! If you don't want to

I might suggest taking a look at Blockstack and Urbit, which are efforts to do the exact same thing through two completely different approaches.

Look, if you are going to be a critic then you can't stand behind ignorance. The "fees are just too high to buy a cup of coffee" is an old trope that is no longer relevant. One can go download LND 0.5 and use the lightning n

Is it just a tad ironic that Facebook just got hacked and people are recommending that you move to a Facebook owned messaging platform as a solution?

Telegram is not secure. It is optionally secure.

Bribery. I'm only half joking. There's lots of dark international money slushing around out there that happens to make it into someone's wife's friend's company.

No it doesn't. It teaches you after about 20 times, that all sites are equally bad and now I can just safely ignore these popup notices. It promotes apathy.

So we have no moral standpoint to criticize child brides...because we must be inclusive of all parts of every culture?

No, i’m talking about the fact that bitcoin is literally property according to the government. Also profit != property.
42.
by jeremyt 8y ago
That’s not true. For example, owning bitcoin gives you property rights.

I have no idea why I was downvoted. To even touch the surface of Ken Wilber’s critique of Nietzche would require on the order of 10 pages, and I know that because I’m writing it right now. I also find it extremely ironic that a person in a

I’m flogging Ken Wilber these days. Perhaps take a look at “The Religion of Tomorrow”

In this, I think Nietzsche was dangerously wrong. I don’t have the time to go into detail at the moment, but the better prescription is outlined in Ken Wilber’s “A theory of everything” or if you have lots of intestinal fortitude “The reli

Your comment assumes that educational achievement is a "randomly distributed result". It may or may not be, but you can't just assume it.

In what world does milk "keep fine in storage"?

by jeremyt 8y ago
Well, I guess you can take that position. I take the position that what the media reports isn't true, or at least it's some sort of propaganda and I look for who's benefiting from the information, unless I see evidence to the

Which is why I said confirmation bias. Sometimes your confirmation bias is correct; sometimes it isn't.

Well, that's my point.

I am willing to put my money where my mouth is and take a bet saying that in exactly one year, a significant number of these $2.5 billion of contracts will have miraculously found a way to happen.
53.
by jeremyt 8y ago
Yes, of course. If it turns out that the number of contracts canceled is much less, then it changes the calculations completely. If it turns out that this story is completely bogus and the "cancelled" contracts were already going

There are two ways to look at this story. You can take it at face value and you can wring your hands over what this story apparently is trying to convey. Or you can understand the way companies and politics and the media manipulates percept

That is his whole point. Bible stories...archetypes. It's like saying Sam Harris would make a lot of sense if he'd just stop rambling about consciousness, ethics, and AI.

So, what evidence would you accept?

by jeremyt 8y ago
Because there’s suddenly a bunch of money available from the tax cuts.

You’re missing the point completely. I’m really glad to hear that I’m not being targeted. However, I don’t much care about what the intent is, I care about what the effect is. And what I see is a law that is vague and enforcement agents ar

Your comment sounds so Orwellian I can’t help but cringe.
