I don't know your situation, but every single dollar I give to corporations is voluntary and without deceit. I suspect this is blind rage out of jealousy for the rich, but if you do truly live somewhere where it's common for busin

It doesn't matter what you or I want - I'm stating facts. and the fact is that technology is solving the dirty energy problem and miners are moving to cheap energy solutions because clean energy is cheaper.

There's really no excuse for this kind of strawman this late into the game. For one, Proof of work blockchains are migrating to first world countries which are moving to renewable/nuclear energy quickly, so even if proof of work w

That makes sense, I guess there's subjectivity involved as to what that would look like as I imagine the death of one of those people would be an unwanted consequence to the person with all the food and as such the first person would b

Can you describe to me a situation in which reaching pareto efficiency would, in your opinion, not be the optimal state for the welfare of the aggregate? I'm trying to imagine a situation where resources are optimally distributed where

Weren't you just suggesting more hacking attempts happen against NFTs because they're accessible and now you're saying package deliveries are more exposed to theft and so the comparison is unfair? I agree these comparisons ar

You can't honestly believe the same skillset applies here. Hacking digital assets is not the same as breaking a quarter inch pane of glass and turning a knob while no one is around.

Having negative expectations of someone you've not met, based on conditions they were born into, is the very heart of racism and every bit as unfair and toxic.

I'm not sure I follow why that would matter. Their constitution says once data has been released, it is no longer their property (because it's a public institution). They created a way to access the data, so the data has been re

I would love to see this submission title changed to replace "Billionaire" with Munger, as his networth has nothing to do with the discussion unless you're interesting in attacking Munger's character rather than his idea

You need an odd number of max nodes, not an odd number of live nodes. Raft nodes require knowing they are in the majority to be healthy, if you have a network partition and half are on each side you get split brain because neither side can

No one is suggesting a requirement. Are you making a tangential point or did you interpret me as suggesting we should require victims to participate in helping the prosecution?

I don't think you'll find anyone who disagrees with the ideal of not burdening the victim but I would suggest it's much healthier for society to praise a victim for doing the extra work to punish antisocial behavior. The real

This is typical behavior for binance. I don't love it, but alarming? I'm not sure that typical behavior that they've displayed for years is alarming other than now all withdrawals were paused simultaneously which is new, bu

Binance halts withdrawals on tons of cryptos regularly and has done so for years. This isn't surprising to anyone who trades on binance. Guess it makes for a click-bait-y title though.

ah that's fair - I misspoke - I was intending this entire topic to be around climate sensationalism which is what my first comment was about. Of course climatologists are pointing to some very serious issues, but they also understand t

while I genuinely agree with your intent, I don't think abstinence has been very good at achieving the outcome we're hoping for. Education, not fear is what allows people to decide for themselves if they want to try/use somet

sure, but you can't categorize the threat based on some looming unknowns. You either have an idea of when you'll hit some point and the consequences or you don't - you can't just say "the unknowns are the greatest

Wouldn't you have to define a tipping point before you could categorize the threat? This seems rather sensationalist to me. Hopefully I'm not just conflating your comment with all the other sensationalism in the constant global w

It's difficult to win in an SEC governed market that is corrupt by design. You'd need a competitive advantage large enough to bridge the SECs designed corruption in the market.
