schizophrenia > cancer
At least with cancer, their mind is (mostly) unaffected. Serious schizophrenia is a nightmare.
Iran didn't borrow the ~$1 trillion they spent on their nuclear program.
Bitcoin doesn't fix everything.
Iran doesn't have nuclear powered submarines and isn't building any; it would be perfectly reasonable to ensure they don't get any even if they tried.
Neither medical nor energy purposes need 60% enriched uranium. Certainly not 83%
Stop falling for dumb Iranian propaganda.
The IAEA found uranium enriched to 83% in 2023: https://edition.cnn.com/2023/03/01/middleeast/iran-uranium-enrichment-iaea-intl/index.html
Iran is clearly attempting to build nuclear weapons. There aren't civilian applications for uranium enriched beyond 20%. As it is, Iran has openly admitted to the IAEA that they're enriching to 60%.
5G is actually a bunch of radios at the edge of a vast network of optical fiber. Starlink can't compete with that as you get far more overalls bandwidth in the same space if you confine the EM waves into fibers.
Under 1000 on my last ten due to tipping.
Over my last 1000 transactions possibly quite a bit higher...

Correct. Wallets could be modified to favor multi-path payments. But single path is somewhat cheaper. Probably faster and more reliable for small payments too. But that's a complex topic that I don't 100% understand.
Shouldn't the people signing prioritize rigorous review and activation planning rather than assigning work to people that don't work for them?
Third party review is required. Not just review from people who have an interest in the outcome.
Finally we can spend our energies on something that worthwhile.
That was the dumbest controversy since full-rbf. Maybe dumber.
Russia's negotiation position is that Ukraine has to give up territory that Russia does not control, as well as drastically reduce the size of the Ukrainian military.
That is very much giving up something. It's straight up suicide really. Russia will obviously rearm and attack again. Just like every other time.
Not even talking about their demands of Ukraine disarmament, which would be suicidal for statehood of Ukraine.
Russia is obviously positioning themselves to attack Ukraine again after rebuilding their military. It's hard. But unfortunately the only good option right now is for Ukraine to fight until they win.
Russia isn't going to change until the current population is dead. Either by old age or military defeat. Or by becoming economically unable to fight.
ACK
A very straightforward and reasonable letter.
If people don't agree they can run something else like Knots. Running Knots won't actually accomplish anything. But no-one is stopping you.
Who cares? Russia claims all kinds of things are red lines. Every time someone shows strength and kills Russians they back down.
Why should Ukraine give up anything to a bunch of psychopathic thugs who have repeatedly broken ceasefires in the past and never had any valid reason for their violence?
This is as absurd as negotiating with a thief on how much they're allowed to take from your store.

Stacker News commenters are hopelessly disinterested in real news. I'm spending some of my own sats to fix this.
The day prior to Ukraine's attack on Russia's airbases, Russia had launched yet another attack with hundreds of drones at Ukraine. The same as they did two days prior. And three days...
Russia isn't holding anything back. They're they've been trying to devastate Ukraine for years, and failing.
It's pretty obvious what they're doing: pressuring the credit card companies to lower interchange fees. Or at the very least, not raise them further.
Completion is good.
Elections matter.
Like Phoenix, being willing to come back is likely due to the new administration (though new tech would help too).
