There are multiple services out there than can send/receive crypto as well as seamlessly convert it to fiat and load a debit card, all through the same service. This basically solves all the issues you illustrate. Total international t

If you have a hard time explaining where the money came from then yea they were right to freeze your bank account. The regulations and tax reporting requirements from the IRS at least are very clear. No problems at all with that.

I’m not talking about just Asia, I’m talking about anywhere from the world no matter what system is in place. That’s why crypto is valuable. It doesn’t matter what banking or remittance services are available, crypto not just works, but wor

It works amazing. I can send large sums of value across the world, in minutes, without going through a bank. Moving money any other way (ACH/wire) feels primitive by comparison. Plus often you have to use a bank as an intermediary whic

You’ve got to pick your battles. We live in a chemical world, there are few places you can go to avoid breathing or ingesting ‘something’ that will cause cancer down the line. I like nuclear and the potential is there to do it safely - pebb

Pro tip: If your post asks if I would live somewhere that lots of people already live, that’s a clue the place is habitable. Maybe not to your standards, but you don’t define words. Really blows my mind you’re confusing something like a ‘no

by trixie_ 5y ago
You’re really stretching the meaning of uninhabitable huh? It’s funny when people start changing the definition of words to hold on their viewpoint. The fact is all nuclear plants are in a state of meltdown without active management, passiv

A coal plant does not require active management to prevent the city it is located near from becoming uninhabitable. A nuclear plant does. It is possible to build failsafe reactors, but it requires R&D and investment. I’ll support that,

by trixie_ 5y ago
Nuclear isn’t safe. Without active management any passive safety system has a time limit before failure. Fail safe deigns are possible. Develop the technology to build those economically and I’ll support nuclear.

If you're a company buying software from a vendor for network management, security, business operations, etc.. and it goes wrong, yes they are very very liable. It's the whole reason why many companies avoid building anything on u

Developers perfectly understand the available licenses. And for many they just want to put software out there and don't care how it is used so they put a BSD/MIT license on it.

People who want their OSS to be widely adopted wouldn't touch AGPL with a ten foot pole.

It's totally possible and many unpopular open source projects out there do just that.

It's not a job, it's a hobby someone shared online with you. They owe you nothing.

It's easy to write code and release it with a 'use at your own risk' license on it. Offering support and accepting liability for problems with your code isn't fun or easy.
196.
by trixie_ 5y ago
If you choose to monetize then you probably will end up accepting liability for it as well if it goes wrong. For a lot of open source developers putting a 'use at your own risk' license on the software is easier. Let another comp

Replace 'rent' with 'support. If a commercial company builds on top of software with a license that says 'use at your own risk' then the buck stops with them. That's why companies buy libraries from other comp

by trixie_ 5y ago
You get what you pay for. There are plenty of documented/supported libraries out there to buy in place of open source software.

I can tell you it was exactly the same 20 years ago.

The word propagate doesn't imply an active push as opposed to a passive pull. The author made an assumption that is outside the definition of the word 'propagate'. Either way the new information propagates through the networ

I didn't know the word 'propagation' implied a specific method by which data is propagated (push/pull).

Fails because the function is unreachable. The second half of the sentence you quoted says exactly that, why did you cut it out?

by trixie_ 5y ago
There’s a huge difference between http and function calls. When I call a function there is no chance it fails because the function ‘cannot be reached’. With services there are endless reasons why one service is unable to communicate with an

Free market brings prices down and quality up. The government tried to ‘help’ 50 years ago and now the prices have become so distorted that without government help you would need to be rich to go to school. People like you think the governm

by trixie_ 5y ago
There already is a massive public healthcare system in America called Medicare and Medicaid which is the root of distorted prices. The lack of price transparency adds fuel to the fire and allows those prices to stay high without any upfront

by trixie_ 5y ago
The free market didn’t make your operation 75k. The government giving a blank check to hospitals and the lack of price transparency did that. Both are as far from the ‘free market’ as you can get.

A free market wouldn’t be dumb enough to give a teenager a loan for 100k. That idiocy is reserved for the government.

by trixie_ 5y ago
Prices in medical care like anything else is a function of the maximum amount of money that can be extracted. With the socialized Medicare/Medicaid already in place, hospitals charge as much as they can knowing the government has deep

It's crap like this that makes WW3 a real possibility with these demonstrations of recklessness.
