Yeah, because the 'sell support/hosting' model has been such a failure /s You don't have to be in academia to afford to write F/OSS nor is it financially draining to do so.

All the barrier islands are beautiful - Cumberland, SSI, Jekyll, Tybee and they aren't too busy (well, except Saint Simons during the GA/FL weekend which is a blast in and of itsel…

That's the dumbest way to enforce IP law. Just take the companies to court in the US if they sell in the US or international court if selling to other countries where Chinese compa…

China also gives us goods far below what we could produce them for which lowers our cost of living. Complaining about China stealing $300b (I'll use your number because it doesn't …

>There's a reason much of malware is spread from porn sites. I thought this was no longer the case

Google did face backlash and it wasn't to this level because its use wasn't nearly as ubiquitous

The problem is that areas that are affordable enough to create more, cheap housing are not near the services that the homeless need and use. I'm in Denver and housing in the city i…

We just love weed? For me putting a little tincture in my coffee in the morning is the perfect combo. The weed takes the slight edge off my massive mug of coffee so I get the energ…

> Who uses opiates who isn't addicted to them? Regularly? likely no one but there are a ton of poeple who use recreationally that aren't addicted.

To add a counterpoint - there isn't anything on the line in grad school when sharing stories of drug use... completely different ballgame in the professional world. I've only had o…

Addy / Vyvanse seem to be the doctor's choice (as well as college kids') so it is generally just more available and seen as safer than straight street speed. Similarly, coke is als…

If it is any consolation, this is neither the norm nor legal in the US and at least one of the companies in question claims they give 2 x 30 minute breaks per 8hr shift

Laws with proportionate fines and regular inspections / reporting. But unions are really the best way

I think his point is making a big assumption that replies are bucking - dressing more traditionally formal != pride in appearance. In fact, as the sibling comment to yours points o…

Because home control / voice control is already established (Google Homoe, Alexa, etc). Why would I want a single voice controller when I can leverage the mesh of devices I already…

Luckily that's no longer an issue now that interest has faded and the mempool has cleared. Also, reducing on-chain transactions (and thus keeping the mempool clear, on-chain fees l…

Also, the move in in-car systems has been to essentially mirror the phone whether through CarPlay or Android Auto. I don't see how legacy navigation systems can even come close to …

Also, how are we defining value? Bitcoin certainly brings secure transactions to the table which has its own value (just ask the likes of Western Union, Paypal, etc...)

With LN there are less transactions on-chain which reduces fees. Also, finally the temper-tantrum throwing core-supporters are quickly realizing that a block size increase is absol…

This is the year, I just know it

100% of that goes to the state you purchase/register in, correct? There is currently no federal EV tax that would offset federal fuel taxes that help fund interstate highways, corr…

and even then, crypto could be seen as a better store of value than the traditional market so even a bear market might not negatively effect the crypto space or at least not to the…

1) Because they're fun and I was bored 2) Most of my pill days were when I was in high school. I haven't sought out pills since but have been prescribed them when I've had surgery …

That poll has nothing to do with support for S2X though (or more generally, doubling the block size irrespective of the particular implementation)... rather just which chain would …

Which to me is just stupid - like taking 5 min to increase the blocksize is going to take away significant development effort from more novel solutions. Meanwhile, tx fees are stup…
