Bolshevism is the belief that the system must be destroyed by an onslaught of random chaos before the glorious revolution will be possible.

Bolshevism. This dossier points to a person that believes they are saving the world.

But it should have been explicit in the reasoning for wearing masks in the first place. It seems to me that the pro-mask people have such contempt for the masses that they must disguise a reasonable social request into a selfish mandate, wh

Actually this is exactly why there were so many people (like myself) on the Bitcoin test net, that never bothered with mainnet. Everything crashed, an entirely new political order was installed, and people just worried about other things. B

No. Not at all. What am I supposed to do about it?

Because at some point the banks will fail and one of these ‘scams’ is going to be necessary for you to get along in life. I’m sorry that this is the case; I really wish that the system we live in was sustainable, but it’s not, and it probab

I think it’s a bit anachronistic. Today, when a project ends at one of these big companies, the people get laid off. They may find another position internally, but everybody starts at zero again. The only thing that matters is the skill set

Correction: it was a 3/4 multisig and it took 3 signatures to switch over to single-key. Who had those keys? No idea. Their white paper says nothing about key management, just a bunch of nonsense pseudo-notation about blockchain basics

That’s right, and then they fork in such a way as to return to themselves more than they put in (because later theDao shares were sold at 100x, and they refunded equally).

The contract is designed to execute arbitrary transactions with a valid signature. Hacker/insider got the private key. Simple as that.

Like Japan? Some context: I haven’t been following this at all for most of the last decade, but, some things don’t change. Kabul and the Northern Alliance areas have always been hard to win and hard to hold for the Taliban. They’re not abov

Well, they think they’re going to get it from “enhanced compliance”.

Every orange alert I’ve gotten so far has been a father in violation of a custody schedule. (if this seems non-sequitur, you haven’t looked into it)

That’s a reasonable value proposition for the type of company that would be relevant for. I think a more relevant role for a minority board member in the way you describe would be marketing partnerships with other firms that would help reac

“There are people who went through AA, recovered from their alcohol addiction, and are able to drink moderately.” There are also people who have survived skydives without a parachute. This article seems like some kind of self-justification

That has zero relevance to your basis for the assertion that the new diverse members will be different. My observation is that diversity seats are given to an even smaller number of people that have even less involvement with the many busin

Actually I think there is some Gresham’s law going on here. The worst store of value will become the dominant medium of exchange.

Here’s something to consider: Right now AMZN is worth something because it is believed that it can be sold to the next person for more than was paid to the previous holder. What about the last person that will ever hold that share? How will

Not true. With the notable exception of malware and an ambiguous thin line on cracking software, these regulations only apply to operational facilitation, usually requiring financial participation in the activity. Of course when the activit

If it’s better for shareholders, then why didn’t they vote for it already? Your post implies that you believe that the white male board members are inept, there only for their network, and the new diverse members will be more competent in

I feel like that’s an under-valuation of the oxygen, water, and sunlight market. We should be paying tax on at least $1M per day per person. And now that they have a valuation for the elliptic curve digital signature algorithm, perhaps they

While I’m at it, short story: There was an on-base McDonalds which I believe I was probably the only customer of. They shut that down to become the ‘Lunar Science Institute’ and moved all the moon rocks there. That was when we requested the

I did this intentionally. There is no such thing as a law making something ‘legal’. It can only make something ‘illegal’ or ‘not illegal’.

I love this question. It’s quintessential epistemology. You’ve flipped the question upside down without realizing it. First, you talk about ‘other people’, and not yourself, or the person you are asking, who are the only people that anythin

I agree. It happened to the Internet. It’s happening with crypto. Is it possible to win against big money? Bitcoin gave us a lot of hope in the beginning, like BBSs and newsgroups.

I’m usually that guy. I applaud this action as a tiny step in roughly the right direction. If defi users are paying taxes on risky profits, they deserve total protection from fraudulent losses. The tax code is already massively asymmetric (

The bill makes it illegal to write code or validate blocks without issuing a 1099 to users. That would be impossible, so it’s illegal to not do the impossible. The amendment makes the above not illegal. Their logic, not mine.
