That seige is listed in every major work of antiquity as being months, not years.

Ignore it, Make sure your lawyer is ready to handle it if anything ever come of it. If they had a warrant you would already know.

Unnecessary.. What would be nice though is a helmet with a camera to replace regular auto-darkening hoods. Maybe with bluetooth so you could rock out on the job, maybe some cams in the back for fire detection.

Biden is literally on video promising that these pipelines would be destroyed, so there is that.

I can say from plain observation this is wrong, On many engines you can audibly hear piston slap, older worn crank bearings make a banging noise when the engine is cold. The article cites fuel efficiency, but fuel efficiency is not what most people are concerned with, they care about the longevity of their vehicle.

This is a terrible argument, and clickbait. Obvious enough to anyone who actually understands how bitcoin, or eth work, it does not fit the definition of a ponzi scheme. Most tech stocks fit the definition better. Just because a few centralized banks, (FTX, centralized crypto exchanges are banks) have failed, means nothing, since the original idea of cryptocurrency was to do away with centralized institutions like this.

Put back handling SMS please, I don't like having 2 apps.. But i don't care about stories.

Nor did it go up thousands of percent over the past decade

He means to explore these subjects by themselves, i.e. drawing upon the current body of knowledge. This technique works very well, i educate 3 children at home, and more or less their own interests guide their learning, only occasionally do i feel the need to put them onto the path of a specific subject.

Mining isn't killing the planet either, mining is securing a ledger. These technologies are for the first time in human history, divorcing the power of the purse from governments, who have only ever abused it. It is the human rights issue of our age, rendering things like inflation and financial censorship impossible without resorting to threats of violence. They provide an open, public ledger enabling new forms of ownership in a trust-less, transparent system, we can use to organize solutions previously mired in human bureaucracy.

Yes, but with an open, global system like bitcoin, they can't do this any longer.

Governments are proven oppressors, Every single mass abuse of human rights, war, genocide has been carried out by government. Taking the power of the purse from government is the next big human rights issue of our age, rendering taxation by inflation impossible, and empowering individuals to hold government accountable.

All it needs to do is make that awful dot matrix sound.

In the US, i think to intercept mail via USPS they must have a warrant, Then they send a postal inspector to deliver it. Don't accept packages of drugs from a postman hand delivering it, and you should be good?

The banks are the sham, not crypto. Crypto is new, it will eventually replace the legacy financial system. Being a Luddite is not a way forward, processes will improve, the systems will mature. this is the akin to the "bagphone" era of cellphone adoption, blockchain technologies will eventually prevail.

There is nothing preventing the use of neutral third party contracts, For example a non profit arbiter of such cases, recognized for impartiality in an open market. Just like the better business bureau, or similar organizations. Merchants can display a "your purchase protected by" banner, the market itself will determine the best form the material incentives for such an organization would take, perhaps "loser pays the fee" could work, or a subscription model, more like a traditional bank.

There is nothing inherent to cryptocurrency that prevents the ability to reverse a payment, it can be done in a contract, only both sides must agree to use it. Personally i see the inability of government ( or anyone else ) to arbitrarily modify transactions as crypto's greatest strength. Want reversibility? you can have it. Want a custodial institution to manage your account? you can have that too, Nothing stopping you. The system is flexible and secure in ways the traditional financial system is not.

there is nothing inherent in cryptocurrency that prevents clawback.

1: I do not wish to charge my headphones.

2: I have many headphones with higher quality sound than earbuds can provide.

3: Bluetooth still kinda sucks, even after all this time.

4: Bluetooth is subject to denial of service, security concerns.

5: Apple's purpose with the decision was to increase revenue, that is all. You all are now paying $$$ for headphones with batteries, etc. onboard, and they no longer had to implement an audio amp or jack. win for apple, not the consumer.

You don't have the ethical right to force people to disclose their financial transactions, either. Nor use threats of violence against people for designing tools that allow people to keep their transactions private. Doing so is the action of tyrants. Many people in the world do not have the luxury of immunity from state violence for supporting activism, and this technology is meant to shield them from such.

It absolutely protects your privacy in a system where the movement of money is public. Donations to politically sensitive organizations can be used against you, this technology limits that possibility, just as the traditional banking system does not make your transactions public. Many places in the world people do not enjoy your privilege of immunity from state violence due to support for activism.

I came here because i didn't know what he meant by "trackpoint", Turns out it is what i know as the "clit mouse".

As long as people recognize hierarchical governments and their claims to authority, this will always be the case.

A person has an inherent right to justice, this is an individual right, one is induced to delegate to an organization, jury, etc.. etc.. to ensure a transparency meant to insulate the individual against claims of trespass during their pursuit of that justice, but ultimately, it is an individual right, and if the system society encourages you to delegate that right to, fails, you still retain the right to seek justice on your own.

Needs to be brought back for cases like this, where the legal system itself acts as the coercive agent of some rich corporation.

I wish you were wrong.

Argument from incredulity.

"The future is now, old man".

this is an argument from incredulity, We could form a system for justice that is completely distributed, with no hierarchy of leaders, where every complaint of trespass is filed on ( for example ) a blockchain, a random jury is drawn from a pool of volunteers to hear every case, individually. The same infrastructure could be used to organize funding for public works, I.e. "this road brought to you by X" or, "5% of every purchase goes toward Y".

No elected terms would lead to a better government.
