10 sats \ 1 reply \ @clr 20 Jan \ parent \ on: Global study finds strong public trust in scientists science
Science is supposed to be about replicating and verifying by oneself, not about "trust".
Yes, but it would be good if you add your lightning address to Stacker News so that you can receive real sats for the SN zaps straight to your wallet instead of getting "cowboy credits".
WTF is this garbage? This has nothing to do with bitcoin. Of course that thing is not going to surpass bitcoin.
The ministry of culture has given the seal of approval to this work. Very likely, the government is giving money to support this or their approval makes it easy for them to get money from other institutions.
Woke culture is a consequence of peak fiat and it has also infiltrated the Peruvian state. It looks like nobody will escape wokism. Mandibles, then bitcoin standard.
Did people buy a mobile phone and leave it in a drawer? Some people would only use the mobile phone occasionally, but nobody said that the purpose of mobile phones was to never use them.
That's not my definition of adoption. And I wish they would stop calling bitcoin an 'asset'. That's diminishing and degrading. Bitcoin is much more than that.
One olympic pool per query 😆... oops, that was per bitcoin tx.
Hamburger also bad.
How many gallons for a beyond meat fake "hamburger"?
BrainrotGPT and wasting time in front of the TV good.
I see a pattern here.
Interesting. They follow the same pattern in most countries: first, they introduce digital, instant, free payments; then, when they have enticed people into the system, they start monitoring transactions to detect "undeclared" income, "excessive" spending, etc.
I have been minimalist / nomadic for over 4 years already (I started because of the covid craziness) but sometimes I would like to have my own house arranged my way. But when I think of the burden of having a house, taking care of everything even if I am traveling, making sure that everything is OK and in good order, and mostly complying with ever growing government demands... I don't want to go back to that.
I am being asked to live in a pod and to pay for the pod. If private property is not respected (it isn't), then maybe it's better to "own" as little as possible.
The question is why do they collect all that information in the first place?
Then there is Tesla, who in trying to prove that the Las Vegas explosion was not their fault, reveals that they can lock/unlock your car remotely and watch and record through its cameras.
Electric vehicle = privacy nightmare ?
Not endorsing wokepedia, but:
Safekeeping the ledger of humanity is well worth the energy and capital cost of mining, imo. All that without any human being killed. But why should anybody say which energy uses are "good" and which ones are "wasteful"?
I just edited the message to post the github link. Haven't read the license, but I guess it is.
Edit: MIT license, according to the repository.
The sun tax was outrageous.
Imagine having your own garden/farm and being forced to pay a tax because now you are buying less or no groceries at the market.
The individual is seldom responsible for the shortcomings of his life, it's almost always some external culprit that takes the blame.
I'd say that the individual is responsible for fixing his shortcomings and improving himself. But many times, he is not to take the "blame" for his shortcomings. Nobody is perfect. Responsibility focuses on improvement; blame focuses on denigrating the person.
Isn't the blaming itself a way for the blamer to escape his own responsibility and project his shortcomings onto others?
