If your argument is that Bitcoin is only good for illicit purchases, then I sort of agree with you but there are better alternatives like Monero. Regardless, you would agree that c…

No, via direct deposit. I had a co-worker once who miskeyed his routing+account numbers and guess what? He still got his money a few days later and it wasn't lost to the void. Ther…

No, I don't participate in crypto nonsense. Especially such a speculative and volatile "asset" like Bitcoin.

Haha, so you can bribe the President? I hope this comment is satire. The "masses" are well aware of crypto at this point and BTC is down 47% over this past year. It's just not that…

Bull markets are born out of skepticism. Everyone is fearful that there's a giant bubble so all eyes are on the fundamentals. When euphoria sets in, i.e. neighbors and co-workers s…

Doing basic math makes someone a "spreadsheet head"? If the "actual world" wanted American-made gloves then this cash injection from the government would've resulted in a boom in g…

Problems have been ongoing for a few hours already.

I never swapped claims. We're talking about nuclear weapons and why the US started a war with Iran this year due to this supposed "crisis" (in your words) but there's no evidence t…

> a former member of the parliament of Iran He wasn't a member at the time of those statements nor did he have any involvement in their nuclear program. That's misleading to say th…

> The crisis exists because Iran is pursuing nuclear weapons According to whom? I know there's one country who says Iran is two weeks away from nuclear weapons, but who else?

I'm not worried. You cannot hold a machine accountable and there's no way OpenAI, Anthropic, etc. are going to take on that kind of liability if some code resulted in a major outag…

> Humans also do not know how to do this reliably These are machines, not humans, so I don't understand the comparison. The point of tech advancement is that we eliminate entire cl…

I think there's a lot of confirmation bias in this thread coming from two groups: anti-AI activists and cathedral-development proponents. They take what was written at face value a…

DHS is not the same as the CIA. The former is heavily politicized and the latter kinda just does its own thing and I'm pretty sure they haven't paused vetting (ICE agents don't req…

I don't think U.S. intelligence thought any part of this war was a good idea or justified. There were two National Intelligence Estimates (a panel of all 18 agencies in the IC) tha…

I'm firmly in the renting camp and I'll only own a home if I can buy some land and build it, probably. From a US perspective, I see too many people buy a house because that's what …

I believe you contradicted your first point by following it with "If Bun starts having more bugs and feeling like worse software" ...so you do use feelings in your calculation? To …
