You know what is also good for crime? Dollars! Everyone takes then. Even worse they are harder to trace. Do you see anyone wanting to ban the dollar or claim that it's good for crime?

Here is one thing you can do with crypto that you cannot do with a credit card: use your money how you would like. There is no payment processor to decide that you are not allowed to send or receive money.

Never is a long time. I'm going to say that AGI will be able to drive a car. AGI is very far into the future but I would not say it's impossible.

which law are they breaking? in which jurisdiction?

by x86x87 4y ago
There are at least 2 things here: 1) the laws and how they are applied and 2) what is in the interest of the people and what should the laws be? I can trust law enforcement to do its job. Heck I might even trust it to do the right thing whe

my claim was that buying the drugs was safer (my words: in a safe manner). Everything else in the "pipeline" being equal if one part of it becomes safer the whole thing is safer. Want to eliminate production that happens in places

it's one of those things where when you notice it it's already too late.

Yes. Anecdotal evidence. The best kind! Who decides who the mafia is?

I believe that humans and human intelligence is pretty limited. We are overcoming our limitations by using abstractions and tools. People today are not significant smarter than people 5000 years ago. We just have better tools which allow us

Nope. People with options leave first. Who has options? The best people. It's called the deadsea effect - look it up.

Not one to defend Silk Road, but pause and think about it for a second: it enabled you to buy something deemed illegal by the authorities (drugs) in a safe manner and the products bought were higher quality than what you could buy on the st

After rereading I agree with you. It wasn't clear to me whem first reading it.

What a world we are living in. Mostly illegal. Huh. Do you have any data to back this claim? Also, should banks be banned if their customers are doind shady things outside of using their services?

That's a very limited way of looking at things. You're fine with banning X and Y because you don't see them impacting you. When Z is banned and you care about Z you'll have a rude awakening.

Not saying you're wrong, but all this is optics and there is quite a bit of brainwashing at work no matter where you live. What is an illegal attempt to do something? Who decides what is legal?

Problem is that most terrain on the map is walkable and the map is huge.

Read the comment. The point was not flexibility. The point was that we could be a post scarcity society where we don't have to work. At all.

Yes. People are basically idiots /s

by x86x87 4y ago
Nope. Your system is flawed because you cannot extended it to all of our society. It's great it works for you but that's about it.

Why rest at all? I mean we are all machines and our goal in life is to work!

It's mostly the Great Reshuffling. People figure out that they don't have to accept crappy working conditions and the COLA raises they got are not covering the inflation. Some quit figuring that they'll take a break. Employer

The point is that there were 2-3 layers of humans applying their best judgement and there was a process in place.

They do build a lot of stuff. And don't have the muscle to keep it around and maintain it. That's not whay softwarr developers do, right?

I'm going respectfully disagree with you on the first point. Do you really need a Phd to maintain an internal javascript framework with a handful of users? (True story). A lot of the hires are made to starve the competition of good peo
