Have they exhausted all other options? They've attacked public spaces, events, and infrastructure, targetted artwork and ancient monuments, but have they actually targetted the causes they are protesting against in any way, or even the

I guess I would agree if they were raising awareness for something people arent aware of, but everyone is aware of climate change wether they believe it or not. If their activities highlighted specific areas that need more awareness then th

How are climate activists, especially just stop oil, so misguided?

I think the key difference in this analogy that needs to be acknowleded is that in a house repair, the owner of the house needs to want the repairs, and agree to pay for them. You can decided to stay in a relationship and try and fix it but

It's very, very obviously a joke.

Out of interest, do any companies review the people they have hired 6/12 months later vs how they did on the interview?

Why not commit what you have and ammend / rebase it later?

It says in the article that it would need to be carefully done to have an even impact.

It says in the article it only lasts a year, so its an adjustable stop-gap.

Yeah thats probably a better way of putting it. Like a lot of times I find myself wanting to branch off of the same answer with different questions, and I worry that if I ask them all sequentially chatgpt will lose 'focus'.

Personally i would like a kind of 2D Map of 'contexts' in which i can choose in space where to ask new questions. Each context would contain sub contexts. For example maybe I'm looking for career advice and I start out a chat

I do as little with git as possible unless im facinng some very specific issues, so for me at least it seems overkill to use a GUI for essentially just push, pull, and checkout.

I don't think I'm arguing for inefficiency, but I'm saying why is bitcoin called out for it specifically?

> That means around the world, millions of people are motivated to the tune of nearly a trillion dollars to ensure that the system continues to not only keep working, but grow more valuable. I guess I'm asking why this isnt valuable

If I invented my own currency and no one wanted it, the true price of my currency would be 0, but that doesn't then mean that the true price of all other currencies is 0 does it? The demand for USD and the agreement of the population t

Which means someone will agree to trade it with your for something you want, or something you can use to trade with something you want. You can take your USD and trade it for EUR to buy a coffee in france. You can also take BTC and trade it

I'm not sure I understand why expending energy to mining more gold than we actually need, so that the excess can be used to represent money, is worse than expending engery to verify scarcity and transactions. If the argument is efficie

by kraftman 3y ago
So gold had value because of its scarcity. Why can't bitcoin have value due to its scarcity?

I didn't flag it but I don't think its news. At least not HN news. If amazon went from 170USD down to 120USD back up to 170USD it wouldnt really be news anywhere except for financial targetted news sources.

This may be a dumb question, but whats the underlying value of regular money? From my understanding it used to be backed by gold but isnt anymore, and governments print more when they need it?

I'm not OP but I live in france and all our heaters are electric. I'm renting so I don't have a choice other than to use our wood fire.

Do you not find them too wide? I found that I just ended up moving things to the center screen and ignoring things at the sides

by kraftman 3y ago
100% agree with this. I've tried dual and triple screens over the years but what's stuck for me is a 43inch 4k monitor, its about the biggest I can go without having to move my head too much

I don't think making the world better is their goal, so I'm not surprised you aren't seeing those results. Their goal is to either make more money, cut costs, or both.

If that were the case, it seems like it wouldnt have taken covid to tip the balance so much, and it would have tipped back much more quickly. I've never worked at a company that would come anywhere being classed as optimizing for produ
