It is probably true that 99.9% of people with crypto use it as a speculative investment. The remaining 0.1% true crypto idealist may exist, but I have never met one. So it makes the previous statement very much mostly true. This type of dis

Yes! GME stock was exactly the same and just as scummy. Thanks for pointing that out.

Being happy at the prospect of reduced energy consumption is a reasonable and appropriate response. That greedy people took a high risk investment in something purely speculative and lost money is inconsequential..

And I would feel the same if a massive amount of people were pushing for it, were deceptive and exploitative about it.

People with crypto coins needs other people to be willing to buy them at higher price just slightly later. They keep exploiting fomo for their own gain. I don't think this is moral and a bit of karma is always welcomed.

I have a PhD so I may be biased towards formal education, but I do review resume often and find certifications to be of no value, lame even. I had very poor performing colleagues with many certifications and they were very proud about it. D

Compagnies dont organise birthday parties; well intentioned people do. I think you are overreacting.

We can, but those system are optimized to negate our efforts. Peer pressure among kids is also extremely hard to overcome. "Letting parent sue" is a very American way to go about it, but exploiting kids underdeveloped brain should

I am a parent and I agree that pokemon cards business model is predatory and a giant sink designed to exploit kids into harassing parents into spending money. You have to be blind not to see that.

You have more serious problems if you are more worried about the potential adverse effect of a vaccine than the potential adverse effects of war.

The birth rate of 1.5 children per women in Canada for example is unsustainable. Having it less than 2.0 means a lot of people are not pulling their weight in society. While there are other factors, not having children is immoral. For one,

This is a well established philosophical concept referred as Kant universality laws. It is a good rule to live by. Makes it obvious that cutting in line is immoral because lines could not exist if everybody did it.

As a Canadian, this type of rant makes me wish crypto was banned. They are already used for fraud, money laundering, tax evasion and now to interfere in other nations internal affairs. I imagine they could/will be used to bypass politi

My company essentially does that and I find it incredibly annoying. It breaks many stuff and makes performance much worst. Just so they can more easily spy on us.

by jpambrun 5y ago
This is those companies successfully instrumenting you to lobby on their behalf. It is purposely and spitefully made to be annoying. Let's not reward that.

Diet and exercise doesn't work for everyone, and it's not close to comparable to a 15 minute vaccine appointment. You are being dishonest.

It would be comparable if we had a vaccine for obesity. I see no dark pattern.

Older people command higher wages. If you have the age, but not the experience it creates a disconnect that is a bit awkward. That is probably why you had the unfortunate "why not hire a younger junior" question.

It's probably illegal in most jurisdiction. However, they have lost the case with Sonos and it's more economical/sensical for them to wait for the unlikely event of a class action lawsuit and pay in the more unlikely event of
