This is not about not going into the conflict. Trump is seemingly siding with Russia while undermining allies and calling Zelinsky dictator.

There are protests in Germany against AFD, Slovakia against the pro-Russia prime minister.

To what degree is the Bitcoin problem here and to what degree the electrical grid?

HN deserve better comments than this.

Curious about people who switched to something like Webstorm from VS Code. I've tried it for Typescript development and didnt find much of a difference. I can say webstorm has better , more clean ui for Git, but that's it. Certainly issue was that I could only try it shortly on simple project. Would love it here about some more example from other where to see the differences.

Btw I am pretty impressed with Quick fix and autocomplete functionality for VS code. It's IMHO pretty great for text editor.

At this point, I don't think VSCode competes with Atom.

I really hope they keep USB-C charging. It's my favourite thing because allows me use to use one cable with external monitors and be able to charge my laptop from both sides.

There are rarely completely centralized consensus. You have different sides which for better or worse create consensus together. You have a law, prosecutors, activists. Sure you have corrupt politicians which centralized power a lot but this would is a problem for crypto space as well because of the people will access crypto through a classical business which can lobby for own interest.

1. This was clearly true in the beggings now to so much. Scalability is hard issue which centralized solutions doesn't have.

Existing solutions also evolve and has become cheaper, faster and more accessible. Sure there are exceptions like political dissidents but that's relatively small group. If you would like to solve this issues on large scales like Venezuela than solutions would be mostly political rather than technical.

How exactly blockchains helps with that? It's open protocol which helps but most of the people interact with it through centralized points wallets providers, exchanges etc and we already see classic centralization. It seems to me similar as it is with Facebook which interacts with open protocols but is many people have to go through it and solutions seem to be legislatively rather than technological(although I hope projects like blockstack can help with this)

You can do this now, by having centralized state based repository with API. Estonia might have something like this already.
