Defitio

That implies things which I countered.

What's the problem?

He doesn't have a statistics for what he claims as the wiki article is making a different point.

Personality traits are not mentioned in your references wiki article.

There are plenty of counter examples of other people who are born in the same month than me who are totally different.

There is also a huge difference how people handle sickness like the ones mentioned in the wik article.

The origin of those signs are also totally different and are pure fiction

Having kids is everything but obvious.

Don't dismiss critical thinking with an attack on you just because it feels obvious to you.

Regret emotions etc. are only possible when you are alive.

Missery etc also can only be felt when you are alive.

You clearly don't take any responsibility at all otherwise I'm lost on how easy you just dismiss concerns.

When I'm the maker of another human it's definitely worth considering before if it will be worth to do so

At least I would stop it for my gen pool.

I'm not responsible for potential suffering of others.

Yes but is it fair to the new human?

Oversimplified: would you be okay to create a new human if you know they have only 100 days to life? 5 years? 20? Suffering in school, sleep problems etc etc?

Just because it's evolutionary pre programmed?

Nope I have real crisism and the state of crypto after 10 years AND practical case studies like El Salvador shows the issues.

Unfortunate that it's geoblocked it's worth while as she talks to people in El Salvador about crypto. Normal people

You should be intelligent enough to make the right assumption of what I'm referencing.

If you don't believe in human made climate change pls say so directly so I can ignore you

In my opinion plenty of people just use kids as a scapegoat for meaning of life.

My question would be why you value your kids time more than bouldern?

Because you made them? Because they consume so much time with them?

Or because you are just better in being a parent and biological getting satisfaction out of it?

Unfortunately for me I'm not sure if I would end like you or the other poster who regrets it sometimes.

Also I'm not sure if I want to force another/new human through my experiences like going to school etc.

In dune the king new/realized that he can't do what is necessary but has to prepare his son to do so.

I have the opposite though: perhaps I need to not to have kids to stop the cycle of creating meaning through procreation.

Yes I overthink stuff and one way or the other I still think becoming a parent would be a life changing experience but besides all of the normal thoughts climate change comes on top of it.

Depressing though very depressing and concerning.

Normally modern companies are also sometimes a safe space for all the discrimination happening because of religion.

Like the campus of Aramco were you can be more lax. Or were homophobia is not tolerated etc.

COVID also showed how problematic it is if people just accept some believe system without expecting any logic.

If people don't question basic and stupid religios beliefs they also tend not to question real issues in society.

Why are you reading hn?

Shouldn't all the stories here should lead you to a different path?

Questioning rationally your beliefs?

I found it and it has subtitles: https://www.arte.tv/en/videos/101938-007-A/42-the-answer-to-...

Arte is quite known for its cultural tv and documentaries.

And your statistics is not saying much. Relevant is real life. Take a look at the documentary how people in El Salvador use crypto and not some white dude with too much money waiting for the next big thing.

There was a documentary in Arte. It's a french German art channel state funded.

A reporter went there after she got invited from him and zig other crypto bros.

Suck is not on a mission to connect people. He is just a dude who got tremendously rich by fucking over people with the first social Media platform.

If aliens have the same evolution, Facebook would have just be called something else.

This his idiotic plan to pivot fb into the future because after WhatsApp and Instagram suddenly TikTok came.

And if you believe in a future with VR and in the one platform paradigm than this investment is worth a lot but it's in my opinion a very big gamble while suck believe in it's being a smaller gamble.

/shrug imagine suck actually believing in something worthwhile he actually could have used this by making a real working social media platform or start doing something for people like planting trees...

Ah yes the lightning network argument.

In practice people have problems even understanding bitcoins (general speaking and El Salvador specific) and now lightning is the solution while people not even get Bitcoin.

But yes lightning also doesn't work in El Salvador.

So

You would at least be honest in a discussion if you say that you don't care for the climate impact or accept that your arguments in regard of Bitcoin and being green are wrong.

I'm not arguing for people like you who don't care. I argue for everyone who hasn't maid up their minds and want to have real arguments for pro and con.

Without people like me there would be no push back at all and there is active push back.

The power station in NY got much more criticism than it would have gotten otherwise (none).

Very weird your reaction though. Do you'really believe I stop arguing against Bitcoin just because crypto bros don't care for arguments?

When the topic is crypto it's valid to bring up relevant crisism.

I'm also advocating for more green energy.

And no just because some people like the advantage of crypto doesn't make crisism invalid. To bring up an extreme example for simplicity: smoker like smoking. Heroin addict likes heroin. Fast car driver likes to drive fast.

And yes to finish this: this is a comment from me which states my viewpoint of it. My perceived morality is exactly what I'm commenting with together with arguments. That's the point of a discussion or comments.

I sometimes forget it with the superttoo but I do t want to be counted as not caring.

I'm not sure this exaggeration paints the right picture.

At least in public transport is very visible

I rethought my reaction to Google IO conference: I found it boring because they showed things which do not have an impact on me.

Like 'taking better pictures when you a person of non white color's but that's the wrong attitude. They solve great issues like this and I'm probably more underwhelmed that we even had to fix something like this because it wasn't really solved before.

Let's see if/when we get a more stable timeframe back. With COVID and the Russians it's shitty and climate change might already be a regular constant.

It's not a free market.

There is no lead paint anymore and no lead in gasoline.

I'm often wondering who is behind those comments. You should be quite aware that there are plenty of counter examples to this 'free market's statement.

And yes there also laws like non smoking to protect others.

Energy can also be shut down for you from the energy ministry if your usage has a risk to the power grid.

About the uselessness point: also not a good point on your side. We all life on one planet. It's absolutely valid to have a discussion like this.

There are a lot easier targets someone can attack for undefined terror than this pipeline.

The motivation should make sense, Russia makes sense, it was probably Russia.

And in regards to past Russian behavior even more realistic.

While similar also totally different: it also contains political messages and less security focused but technical talks also.

Food hacking or 3D printing also.

I'm German too and at least here in Munich you still have to wear masks in lots of settings.

Public transport, doctors office, in my work office etc.

And the discussion around Oktoberfest was quite often in the media.

I'm not sure what you mean by 'no one cares about COVID anymore'.

It's much harder to get COVID through eyes than the nose

Ah yes of course there is no way of coercing someone in a PoW scenario.

Very well argumented!

(This is sarcastic )

My car itself can control when it's charging.

If you use anything more fancy on the PV side you can also control it on the other side.

And for more than one flat, load control is already available. We're I life we have 90 cars in the parking garage and there is a load controller

I'm against software patents to most degree.

Especially with algorithms.

I was rooting for Google when the JVM topic happened and I'm rooting for GitHub with autopilot.

And yes there is src from me on GitHub too but use it! I used so much other code in the last 15 years.

Copyright on algorithm or basic code should be a no go.

Either you charge over night than you can charge slow and steady ( I did this at my parents house a few times with 800watts or so, which is not a lot) or at work where you already can have smart charging.

Independent of this, plenty of counties use energy to heat (consumes a lot) or have ac which also pulls a lot.

Ev charging is estimated with 10% additional load on a power grid. That's doable.

Is it a challenge? Yes. In one place more than in another place
