Careful, HN doesn't like bad talking of Trump for some reason. They like to pretend that the way he acts is normal and acceptable for a person in such power. Hint: it's not.

And what about the costs of then converting eth for each person to a useable currency? What if you were to make a mistake and send money to the wrong person? What if someone hacks into whereever you are storing your eth and you lose them?

First, this has been around for a long time. So it has nothing to do with the topic at hand which is recently less people getting married. Second, you are nuts if you think this has ANY significant impact on people getting married. Third,

Sure although I would say you can't just throw it into log bins automatically.. some data you need to massage it to what makes the most sense.

by mrlala 6y ago
Completely agree. It would be much more interesting to compare the data in a bin fashion from 2019 -> 2020 like this 0.1 - 1 1-10 10-20 20-50 50+ And then see how ridiculous quote just the average is in this case..

You should look from the perspective of developers who are not web developers. It's an insane fucking mess out there. SPAs (especially structured ones like angular) can give a developer a shot at creating a structurally sound inter

Even if you want to argue they saved next to nothing (which is silly to say, $75m is $75m).. they also have CONTROL over what they are doing and are not dependent on other services. That is a huge advantage. So even if it were a wash finan

And by my example you don't see the flaw in your logic? Plus, you are now switching to free speech. That is a false equivalent because your speech cannot inherently harm someone (we aren't talking about hurt feelings here, I mean

So, if we were in a situation where a virus was 90% lethal and could spread easily, you wouldn't mind people walking around spreading it because otherwise we would be infringing on their natural rights?

Baffling anyone defending Kim Dotcom. The dude gets mega rich based on creating a platform with the sole purpose of storing/distributing pirated media. (his 2019 estimate net worth is $200 million) You can look at piracy in a billion
