No but you'll get all of their charges reversed and then get a new card.

This follows from Bitcoin being a negative sum game. If some people are cashing out millions, and miners are cashing out their fees, naturally the remaining people have lost money.

For every person taking money out someone else has to put money in (which would be zero-sum) plus the miners taking their cut.

Doesn't asking such a loaded question make you a bad community member?

OK but this wasn't a 40 page T&C, this was a text box with three statements. What would you think you were getting when putting in your credit card?
67.
by librish 4y ago
You would put down your credit card on a website without reading anything on the page? Why?
68.
by librish 4y ago
I think that's an uncharitable way of reading this. Looking at the UI the TLDR is pretty clear, plus there's the friction of putting down a credit card.

Isn't your own linked thing contradicting you? "The Bottom Line The calculated number of calories in a food or meal assumes you’re able to digest and absorb all of the macronutrients, which is seldom the case. You likely take in f

But during those millions of years we didn't have the meat diet alternatives we have now, so how can you assume that meat is better (or worse) than those?

This assumes 100% of energy is absorbed from food which isn't true as far as I know.

I don't understand this argument. Why does what our ancestors did mean it's either healthy or unhealthy? We know these things are not healthy or unhealthy enough to meaningfully affect reproduction so there shouldn't be an ev

I have, but not in a way that has me worried for myself. The cases of backfire I've seen it's been either horrid opinions or gross misconduct. I don't disagree that some of this might be needed if you're angling to climb

You can reach whatever conclusion you want by assigning "high risk" to the things you don't want to do and "low risk" to the things you want to do but that doesn't make it more objective. My experience is that

Those seem like fairly arbitrary lines to draw. If I told you that the worst case scenario for your board game night is that you offend someone to the point where they pull out a gun and shoot you you would probably tell me that's an e

This seems like a very cynical way to look at the world. Work friends are real friends in the same way your pick-up league or board game night friends are real friends. You like some of them more than others, and you probably won't sta

I'm not trying to "draw" you into an argument, I'm responding to my best faith interpretations of your posts. That is not considered bad form. That you refuse to clarify and call me emotional is.

You have to ask the exchange to give you your fiat.

When you say cheaper and faster, what are you comparing to? If I want to convert and send USD from the US to EUR in Germany the crypto solution will be expensive (trading fees on both legs) and pretty slow (time it takes for the exchange to

The problem with 1-3 is that they only work because regulators haven't tried very hard to stop them. If you require crypto exchanges to verify that funds in accounts are not coming from these types of sources before allowing you to tak

Isn't this just showing that people prefer public transit if the travel time is on average twice as long (but not longer)? There's a selection bias in that people who choose to drive probably did so because it's significantly

As an aside it's pretty bad form to accuse the person you're talking to be emotional. It's implies that your argument is logical and correct, and the other person's is incorrectly clouded. Can you clarify what your argum

But how can you argue that we're living in a world that's worse than if we hadn't done the stimulus when you haven't lived in that world?

But what did you say beyond other than what I commented on? The main thrust of your comment is that super hero movies are boring because you know they won't die and will probably win. Does that make detective book bad because the prota

by librish 4y ago
Couldn't you describe a lot of movies as "antagonist does bad thing and protagonist stops them". What makes it generic? Why are they extra interchangeable in the super hero genre?
88.
by librish 4y ago
If you judge any movie where the protagonist will most likely win to be bad you will probably dislike most movies.

“Express this as X for better performance” doesn't make people cry. So either A) Your co-worker is more sensitive than anyone I've ever met B) You are expressing yourself much harsher than you think you are Again, I don't kno

I think you're receiving pushback in the comments because it comes off as though you think it's OK to be rude in the morning. Additionally, if you made someone cry I think most of us draw comparisons to similar situations we'
