I'm sure you would be called a racist just for saying that. Haha. The irony!

Because being a woman is already an advantage these days. With woke culture and diversity hiring, women are already given priority. Even the universities are trying to "gender balance" their STEM majors by prioritizing women over

Food can be stored longer by refrigeration, which requires power. Similarly water can be desalinated, which again requires power. Solar & batteries can help with both of these.

In India there are MOBILE plans that allow you 2GB everyday for $2 per month! My broadband is unlimited data at 30 mbps for our $10 per month. Do quit this bullshit argument.

A dishonest node can try to settle an outdated state of the channel on the main chain. You have 24 hours to stop that from happening. So, if your node is offline for longer than 24 hours, you could lose all the money tied up in the channel.

But you still have to make a transaction to open a channel.

You conveniently forgot to mention that you have to have a lightning node connected to the network 24/7 to protect yourself from fraud. Or, you have to use and trust a third party node.

Bitcoin blockchain size: 350 gb 12tb harddrive: $199. Bitcoin blockchain is increasing at less than 100gb per year. The storage cost of 100gb is about $1.6 I'm sure people running nodes can spend more than 1.6 a year to store a bigger

Exactly. LN is like opening a "tab" in a bar. You ultimately settle on the chain, just like how you settle the final tab on your credit card. LN is an unnecessary solution to a made up problem. Other cryptos have proved that much

Actually no, the private keys were generated randomly but the wallets were encrypted with a password. Private keys hashed from regular passwords don't have enough entropy. This encryption made sure that in case a hacker gets access to

Well, maybe they can start working and be productive to the society like the rest of us. Also, the fact that a girl can sustain a life just by taking nudes shows you how much different the both genders actually are. There's no equality

Safety comes last in India. Everywhere from construction to road, safety is usually the last thing people spend money on. I'm saying this as an Indian living in India.

Preserving 90 days worth of data could cost a lot of money in hard drives, backups, technical changes etc. Techdirt might have these resources, but a small blog might not. Hell, eventually somebody might decide that it’s cheaper to pay a hi

Why such hostility towards accepting crypto as a payment option? I'm sure you know there are payment processors that convert the crypto to cash in the bank with minimal effort. Your company's statement that you won't accept c

If you are rotting in a room in an embassy on made-up false accusations, everything you do to the people who put you there is a fair game. Timing the release of information is the least worrisome thing he could have done.

According to Bitcoin maximalists 2mb blocks are too much for our infrastructure, and will hinder everyone from running their own node. But apparently keeping a node online 24 hours is not a big deal.

Lightning is not decentralised. You have up keep your node online 24/7 to prevent theft. Most people can't do that. So they will end up keeping their coins in the custody of nodes that run 24/7. Leading to centralisation. Lig

Lol, that's a joke right? Lightning network is more centralised than federal reserve.
