That's what I used to believe, that a totalitarian regime can never compete with a free society. The USSR tried and failed. But China is something different. They are extremely competent. And they are past their copy cat phase. I don&#

China promotes a monolithic Chinese identity above race and class. That's why they are called an ethnostate. It's the anti multiculturalism and it seems to be working for them for the most part. Despite the awful nazi grade stuff

The west is in decline because progressive values don't promote strength. They focus on class and are inherently divisive. Ironically, they only blossom in strong societies. The decline will allow other societies with a more conservati

To cover the mortgage, the owner has to pass it to the renter. If the renter could afford the rent, he can afford the mortgage, which mean he can probably afford the house in the first place. Sounds like the stupid people outbidding each ot

Should we require that Instagram, TikTok, OnlyFans have equal gender representation and close the influencer wage and attention gap? The fact that the outcome is not 50-50 is clear proof of prejudice against men. /s

It would make more sense to target internet "backbone" routers, no?

Why doesn't the US pass a law that prevent such large deprecencies? Is it because the legal landscape is different and pharmaceuticals companies worry about the cost of litigation in the US?

Some sort of voter id is always necessary though. The forms mailed have an id derived from a database full of ids. You gotta be able to ensure 1 (qualified) person, 1 vote.

Also, in the public opinion court, it's no longer innocent until proven guilty, it's #believeallwomen. The pendulum has swung too far and it's time we center and de-radicalize the messages we carry around.

Exactly. Tackling AGI will require imo a significant breakthrough in the field of AI. Meanwhile, it's much more productive and practical to look into how we can instrument our cities to make self driving cars possible with today's

FSD is as hard to solve as general intelligence. I don't get why they bother going down this rabbit hole with sub-GI AI technology. While waiting for an AI breakthrough, we should look into instrumenting our cities. That's how pla

Institutions will stop giving student loans unless the parents co-sign. The student loans issue is a hard one to fix. There is always a catch.

If they believed in Ethereum, they would have hold on to it (after paying for operations). Then they could transition to staking and make the whole ecosystem that much more interesting by locking their ETH. They act like they were loyal, th

You could say the same of a high quality replica of the Mona Lisa or a Picasso. It's all about the status of having the "real" thing. If you wanna argue it's vain, I agree, but many people find it impressive at the same

The value is providing the ownership of a digital scarce fixed-supply item that can be transferred and traded. That's the product. And the market gives it a price. Also, it has everything to do with monetary policy.

Porn is harmful to human brain, more so for teenagers and even youbg adults. Don't dismiss it as a harmless product.

You are over complicating things. UI state should live in the client. Having the server maintain it is not only more complex but will also introduce a latency. Let's say I click a button to delete an item in the list. The button state

I can see Bitcoin hardfork to POS once the tech has been proven in Ethereum. Bitcoiners only care about the 21 millions hard cap and a secure network, not the exact consensus algorithm used.

It's inflation, by its very definition. Your dollar is already being devalued. It can buy less SPY shares than before.

Not just Bitcoin. Traditional banking, SSL, everything. Also the crypto used in the above will be upgraded to quantum proof algorithms before then. The math is already known.

In countries with totalitarian and/or corrupt governments, it did. Venezuela, Argentina, Russia, China, ... Even the US is testing its people trust and confidence with its aggressive money printing. Doesn't feel like free markets

Agreed. It's amazing how they managed to infect air gapped computers. How do you even test something like that before the actual attack.

The rooftop thing was a "rest and vest" situation. Different from keeping talent busy. Something Microsoft did by letting their top engineers build a brand new OS that was never meant for market. Forgot its name, Singularity OS?

They can also enslave and kill you... Should they attack bitcoin, it would be acknowledging it's raison d'être.
