Why is this topic flagged?

There's been a rash of inexplicably flagged topics lately. Would someone please explain?
I know you're making this argument in good faith, but whenever someone talks about balancing one person's rights against the needs of society, it is an excuse to treat someone in a way they know is wrong, on some level, but they don't want to accept. Rights are a moral issue, and it sounds a lot better to say, "We need to balance individual rights against the needs of society," than to say, "I know we can't morally treat people this way, but we are going to anyway because they are in the way of our big goals."

Realistically, this has barriers in legal and tax implications. Employing someone in the EU has an entirely different legal and tax burden than employing someone in the US. For large companies, guess what: They were already doing this anyway. My last company had a dozen major tech sites around the world. But for small companies, like my current one, this is an effective barrier. And it even happens between states in the US, typically on a smaller scale.
If someone steals your car, is that a tech issue?
Sexy reports
Russia actually has a pretty huge army still and they're rapidly modernising. They could get pretty deep into Europe if they set their minds to it.

The raw reported spending numbers are a bit misleading because the Russian state is somewhat opaque and you need to adjust for purchasing power.
Yes, I went from somewhat normal sleep to about a month averaging 3.5 hrs. That average was composed of days of no sleep, followed by a crash. Rinse and repeate. My GP gave me a benzo, Lunesta and some other new worthless z-drug (orexin receptor antagonist). None of it worked.

GPs & sleep medicine physicians are worthless for insomnia issues. You need to see a psychiatrist. Sleep issues are a huge component to mental health treatment, so they have much better insights. And since you've correctly identified that anxiety is related to sleep loss, psychiatric help is doubly useful.

Talk to a psychiatrist about low dose trazodone, mirtazapine or seroquel. They have relatively good safety profiles and are not habit forming like benzodiazepines. They also act like a safety blanket; I know that if I'm having trouble sleeping they will knock me out and right the ship. That is super helpful at releasing the anxiety around 'I can't sleep'.

And of course, if you have other stressful things in your life, you need to focus on working them out. Stress doesn't just 'release itself' because we are going to bed. Having a high base level of stress throughout the day makes sleep difficult for _everyone_.
That depends on whom you ask.

If you’re European, I’m sure you’d agree emphatically with this statement. If you’re a Chilean who lived under Pinochet you might have some reservations about that statement.

I work on a trading floor in a large investment bank in Hong Kong and I dont get what you dislike abt open floor. It's so nice to just know what's happening around you, have people rushing to you or you rushing to people, being able to yell or be yelled at.

Sure there are focus phases I d love to have less distractions in, but tbh sometimes your value lies in quick response to big problems rather than long concentration to solve small ones.

I worked in full height cubicles and sometimes you can spend 2 weeks without sharing something with a coworker to a point you end up having spent all you time on a silly assumption you discover made you overengineer something a dude sitting 10 meters away knew you could solve in 5 lines.

Maybe we both program different kind of software and maybe need different environments ?

I can understand your fierce will to ban crypto for environmental impact reason.

However you cannot ban bitcoin, you just can't, that the whole purpose of its existence.

You do it. You can edit your comments.
Two hypotheticals:

1) BTC replaces all world currencies, then crashes to $0.005/BTC (PPP)

2) BTC crashes today to $0.005/BTC

I am disagreeing with the general principle. Sorry, I meant to make that clear. I recognize what you’re saying but it’s wrong. I also objected to the dismissal of valid domain expertise in those who perhaps are too specialized in their knowledge.

They might be thinking of cases like where C compilers can remove code that zeroes memory holding security-sensitive data. [0][1] The compiler is permitted to reason that this memory is about to be deallocated anyway, so we can elide the memset call.

I can't imagine why a C compiler would remove a non-trivial runtime check though (except undefined behaviour).

I try not to use PayPal in the hope they will become irrelevant as a business (I know, not holding my breath), mainly because their customer service and fees are terrible.

CCs are not a great mechanism and I wished we had better bank services and safer integrations to process payments, but that's what we have. I check my bank statement regularly and I know I can get money back if fraud happens. If I don't trust a website I used a prepaid with the exact amount on.
Frog in the well is a common saying and I don't think you sound as intellectual as you intend to.

The parent comment is correct though, you can most definitely get all the luxuries in life with $2000.

Nevertheless, your original post was racist. You generalized Indians to be people eating with their hands as if its a bad thing. Not to mention your insensitive comment about Indian food.

Foglamps are mounted low and are usually yellow and meant to illuminate the road surface in heavy fog. High beams are counterproductive in fog.
I hope everyone realizes now that the FDA is not a real regulatory agency. Regulations are written by the companies. At this point, the entire industry is essentially self-regulated. FDA is just a formality.

Yeah, boring argument. Fiat currency depends on acceptance.

Cryptocurrency does too but the problem is that the size of the economy that accepts Bitcoin as payment is absolutely tiny. You have to exchange your Bitcoin to fiat first before you can buy anything, which means Bitcoin will just end up driving more USD acceptance.
There's a meme in the Bitcoin community that mocks how some Bitcoin believers argue almost every event, no matter how bad it seems on the surface, is actually good for Bitcoin.

I am someone who had suffered with insomnia for decades and mostly resolved it in the past few years. I'm not sure why you think eating in the morning is necessary for getting a good sleep - I rarely eat breakfast and usually sleep great these days. The thing that helped me was going to a therapist and doing CBT-I. Probably the top three things for me were just getting out of bed if I couldn't sleep, forcing myself to exercise even when I am completely exhausted and learning to be okay with sleeping poorly. Putting a lot of pressure on yourself to sleep well and thinking about it all the time can for some people like myself, lead to poor sleep. That being said, this is what worked for me and I would encourage anyone with insomnia to try CBT-I - it may sound dumb to some people with loads of advice you can find on the internet with respect to getting good sleep, but having someone tell you what to do and then holding you accountable can help a lot when trying to fix a difficult problem like insomnia.
It doesn’t make it the only world police candidate. When a political situation changes, so does economy. And the latter can do miracles such as an able country electing a great orator and turning on their neighbors to make them great again and similar bs. Viewing politics as good guys vs bad guys can be justified but still is pretty naive.
Maybe there are different types of introverts. The pandemic has been by far and away the best time in my adult life, even when I only spent time at home with my partner. As long as I can spend time with her I'm happy never seeing another human.

> I never liked that one need to provide his bank login data to Klarna / Sofort to use it. How is that even legal?

I am parroting other HN comments here, but the reason this is necessary is because banks do not provide a public (or private) API except between other banks. Therefore the only avenue for integration would be directly accessing the account.
Probably more ready than you expect. The logistics behind actually banning Bitcoin are pretty convoluted. Anyone can just run a node, anyone can just transact, you can trade btc for cash OTC, there are literally satellites that beam the blockchain updates to every populated corner of the earth, and so on.

Bitcoin has been preparing to be banned at a government level for a long time.
Those inhumane traits exist with cash too, don't they? I've never gotten my money back after being ripped off.
> then they’ll get there guns elsewhere. The problem is not the guns

The harder it is to get guns, the less people that will get them. Are you really saying that if you make people drive 500 more miles to acquire guns, gun crimes levels will stay exactly the same?

Your conclusion is trivializing management and missing the big picture.

1. Not all workers productivity goes up when working from home. During COVID about half my team of ~35 told me they hated working from home and felt their productivity had fallen significantly.

2. It’s often the case that things which are optimal for one team are not optimal for the organization as a whole.

Those two points don’t mean that moving to work from home is never the right decision, it can be the right decision and it can be worth the effort. But it’s just not as simple as most work from home champions like to imagine.
It could be a realisation that the pandemic - even in relatively highly-vaccinated countries - is far from over.
It made me think of the old wireless application protocol stuff - WAP. I did create a site in WML around 2002 but all i remember is a <card> structure.

You can argue that so far they have been right, in that no bad news has really "killed" Bitcoin and there have been lots of "Bitcoin is Dead" predictions[1].

This already happens in-person and is another example of why most of the problems people point out about working remotely are just problems with poor communication or workflow at a company. Working remotely isn't inherently more or less effective.
I've been playing and designing games since 1977. If that were meant to be my life's work, I should never have gotten married and had kids. I love my family, and things got a little better when the kids got old enough to game, then tapered off. Just getting back into it now. Cave Venatus.
How nice that all energy magically appears out of nowhere to generate the power needed by bitcoin. As if the power to heat your meal and home is suddently not needed anymore when you have your nice valuable bitcoins.

The world is already struggling to keep up with the rising power requirements from all the sectors, from production, households and transportation. One of the large problems moving to renewable power sources is, that it's hard to replace current power sources and keep up with the rising power demand. By increasing power demand, older power plants that are worse for the environment must be kept running for a longer time.

It's certainly an interesting social experiment. However, I'm curious how they want to prevent sales tax evasion. Or maybe they've just given up that fight? In any case, though I'm deeply skeptical that bitcoin has any value - a solid proof of concept in the small scale is certainly a good way to put it to the test.

That sounds almost exactly like traditional Japanese consensus.

Everyone argues for their opinion during the planning meeting, but once The Big Boss does the "chopping motion" with his (it's always a "he") hand, then everyone is expected to fall in line, and commit to the team effort.

They actually despise "I told you so." It's not smart to do that, in a Japanese corporation.

Categorically false. Exactly zero energy is required to produce a block. If your statement were true and bitcoin required Switzerland’s worth of energy to produce a block - how on earth did satoshi mine all the early blocks by himself?

Your understanding of how it all works is simply flawed.

Energy is required to satisfy difficulty requirement, which has to do with chain security, not with transaction processing.

That logic makes absolutely no sense. Just because something is illegal doesn't mean it has no value. Selling drugs is illegal in most countries. Drugs are still a store of value in those countries and most of them require you to pay taxes on gains from selling or trading them.
Fiat is backed by weapons. The same weapons that defend your house from other countries and force you to give up half your salary.

My main criticism to cryptocurrencies is that they're mostly unbacked.
The ones that are backed by Fiat have similar problems to Fiat currency (why would I need that?), the ones that are backed by physical assets are much more interesting - but they don't seem to be the mainstream ones, probably because you can't speculate on it.

This makes me think cryptocurrencies are mainly about speculation more than rebelling against governments and central banks.

You're late to the Land Cruiser party. Prices for FJ40 went through the roof a few years ago, then FJ60 started to climb, then even 80 and 100 series jumped in value. During the pandemic everyone wanted an overland rig and prices have really shot up in the past year.

This doesn't surprise me in the least. The DoD and all of its sub-departments, is exempt from EPA regulations. There is no driving force to make more efficient and less polluting military equipment other than the desire to improve logistics or reduce costs. Considering that the military gets preferential pricing on its fuel purchases compared to typical civilian markets, it doesn't have any of the standard market or regulatory pressures to contend with which motivate innovations focused on energy efficiency.

When a contractor is designing a new weapons platform, they focus exclusively on other factors of design, energy efficiency essentially isn't even a consideration as long as it can be refueled mid-mission.

But really, if we want to discuss the US military and the environment, their carbon footprint is the least of my concerns. A bigger concern for me is how they've improperly handled and disposed of MASSIVE quantities of toxic waste over the years and continue to do so. One report I read concluded that nearly half of all PFOAs and PFOSs in the water systems in the continental US originated from military base runoff from them simply dumping expired/excess firefighting chemicals on the ground into open trenches.

Basically every US military base inside the US is a superfund site the moment it is fully decommissioned and turned over to non-DoD control. That should tell you something. Carbon footprints aren't meaningless, but they're nearly so, compared to the far worse forms of pollution the US military does routinely that directly impacts everyone that lives nearby (I live in "Military City, USA", ask me about water quality here...).
Gotcha yeah - that is annoying AF which is why I wanted to buy the discog because it has a "download all the things" button (or so bandcamp claims.)

1) Elections in America are always close, every race, every candidate is not safe. That's the nature of the 2 party system, hence every vote counts

2) You are getting your data from the wrong source, Coinbase alone has 56 million verified users. And unlike FB those are real , not bot, as every user have to be KYC'eed for AML purposes. That's just one exchange.

3) Also with regards to those millions of users, the situation is peculiar because it's for sure one person per family (the millennial or the college kid). So you enrage one person, but that person then would badmouth you with all the people in their close family who were otherwise neutral to the BTC ban, but now that you hurt their son finances, they just aren't anymore.
What everyone's forgetting is we live in the information age. You think this stuff just started happening? No, you just started hearing about it. There have been countless whistle blowers over the years.

What is it going to take for people to realize the entire industry is compromised from top to bottom? Why do you think some of us are refusing to take an experimental gene therapy drug? Nobody is ever going to tell you it was a failure, they will never admit they lied to you. The billionaires became trillionaires.
