Yes. That said, it's novelty and working within set restrictions that makes it impressive. Not the line count of the code, but the fact that it works within the set restrictions of making an n64 software renderer (novelty) with that li

You're strong enough to admit it, so feel less guilty. I'm as cynical as anyone else, but you do have to step back occasionally and see nice things for what they are: nice.

I think you're minimizing just how cynical you're being. 33 million dollars is not a fickle gesture, hand that money to MSF or EFF and watch things happen. Think of all the bullshit you have to buy to attend college, nevermind tu

"If he has x billions of dollars he should give x billions of dollars" is what I get out of the comment. 33 million dollars is going to buy a truckload of TI calculators and other mandatory essentials.

33 million dollars buys more tuition than one dollar. What, he's worth billions so he's gotta give a cool bil or it's pocket change? 33 million dollars is a shitload of cash for a donation, I'm pretty sure MSF wouldn&#x2

and rightly so! the boom of ICO's is proof of concept if I've ever seen it, even though almost every single one is a scam as far as I've seen. I've had to discourage friends from investing in obvious scam ICO's, unf

Trust me, those opioids would be just as easy to acquire with Amazon Gift Cards, Paypal, Western Union, a bank deposit, you name it pal. If you're trying to stand on some kind of anti-opiate moral ground for why cryptocurrency is evil

Well said. Legal tender is the difference here, USD comparisons are apples and oranges IMO. as ETH is a volatile cryptocurrency and not US legal tender at all, while USD is the exact opposite: a fiat currency considered legal tender not onl

A friend of mine is a synesthete. He finds it a blessing and a curse in his day to day life. Psychedelics naturally amplify this, and the fact that he can feel emotion through touch, taste a sound or hear a color fascinates me to no end. He

I found the documentary "Orange Sunshine" to be a very illuminating tale of licit (and then illicit) synthesis and distribution of psychedelics, mainly LSD-25 but they do mention psilocin, etc. At one point they had produced 10,00

Thanks for sharing, that's quite interesting IMO. I don't see it as a knock against XMPP, just an interesting tidbit of information and an example of a wide-spread use case. Moral opposition to drug use is irrelevant here, people

No, just an interesting tidbit of information regarding XMPP.

The count of green over the others is interesting to me. I wonder if they just prefer green, or if the code made the number so much larger compared to other shades produced. What a neat article, even for a layman like myself who seeks to le

To tie this back on topic, opiates are really rather safe drugs, in terms of oral therapeutic usage, that have been made deadly solely due to prohibition. It's driven injection abuse through the roof as people try to get the most bang

Well, let's ask just that question. How do you help Russia? The drug testing and general doping corruption is seemingly top-down, not bottom-up. I don't see the Kremlin saying "sorry we got caught everyone, we'll play fa

Well said. I've moved to altcoins for sending money, the transaction fees of bitcoin finally pushed me to another one. I wish I'd buy a little extra to speculate myself, but I'm pretty impatient so I'd better not.

I like internet freedom much better. So do the politicians looking to dress wolves in sheep's clothing.

that jet website Walmart is running saved me like 30 bucks when I upgraded my GPU, allowing me to get a much better GPU. (budgetary restrictions) they had a 15% off your first three purchases sale, saved me some money again when I had to ge

sorry, I didn't mean to imply it would derail or threaten the existence of it. Like I said, money is going to be made by the state hand over fist just from tourism. But for your regular person who's made due without a legal mariju

Agreed. I was really pleasantly surprised about how wonderful this was. It brings me back to my years as a teen playing Graphical MUD's like The Realm Online, basically a text adventure with some wonderful pixel art and a point-and-cli

hopefully sooner rather than later. when we said "regulate and tax it" for decades, we didn't mean give the blackmarket a greater marketshare by making the taxes exorbitant. People are going to buy weed, if the taxes make it

Or they can datamine and advertise to you based on tatoos, sexual orentation, visbile brand names, etc. Pop the mic on and get some audio at the same time to futher personalize advertisements.

most people don't start with heroin. Keep in mind any solution, including painkiller cutbacks, is proven to result in increased heroin usage (see: oxycontin reformulation in the early 2000's. By the end if the decade all abusable

Im pretty sure it's criticism about the knee-jerk "emergency" declaration that has been nothing more than symbolic.

People ought to get used to erring on the side of freedom. Heroin is being cut with fentanyl because heroin is super fucking illegal for nothing more than political leverage over 1960's blacks in the US. Err on the side of freedom toda

This is about fusion, not fission. Your point stands of course! since they are technically inverse its important to clarify IMO.

The people you're talking about DO NOT BUY and HOLD. EVER. The entire idea is to expose yourself to variable risk as little as possible. so the coins are sent literally the second you can send them. you don't sit on them for a day
