Paying by crypto won't short-circuit any of the laws and regulations around transferring money.

Most of the time, these companies are simply partnering with external firms to process crypto payments, but they're actually taking cash. They'll probably charge you a fee, too, which means no one will actually use it.

These headlines are the equivalent of a company announcing that they'll take debit cards or credit cards as a payment method. They don't actually care how the money arrives, as long as it arrives in their bank accounts.

Wait, what?
This is just a variation of the ontological argument.

You say there's neither church nor state, but then you cite payment processors and legal consent, which are both constructs that are determined by the state. And the content that's in question is sexual consent. The idea that there should be an additional mind (e.g. a legal mind) regulating the behaviors of sexual participants is an old religious conservative idea.

If you still insist that the church in this sense has no meaning, and that this isn't a question of church and state, then you don't believe that there is fundamentally a problem of church and state at all, which in itself is an old religious conservative idea.
Hasn’t this been the trend for a while now, though? My understanding is that self driving trucks are still a decent time ahead of us, and logistics seem like the primary bottleneck causing a lot of these shortages.

Labor systems will definitely be seeking AI replacements, but just because they are needed now doesn’t necessarily mean they are available now. Although you make a very good point, and I think we will certainly see acceleration in this direction.

Look, if the government tells Apple to do something, then Apple can push back, but then has to do it or pull out of the country. That's the way it was, and is.

Now, what has actually changed? The two compelling push-back against a country's demands for more surveillance etc. are:

a) it is not technically feasible (eg, wiretapping E2EE chats), and

b) it is making the device insecure vis-a-vis hackers and criminals (eg, putting in a backdoor)

The interesting question is: Have these defences against government demands been weakened by this new technology? Maybe they have, that would be my gut feeling. But it is not enough to assert it, one must show it.
> I made this comment elsewhere [0], but by this logic anyone who builds an ecosystem for an open source tool should be accused of the EEE strategy.

Yes, of course.

Why, did you somehow think otherwise?

This argument never sat well with me.

Businesses buy machines, AI, and other automation systems to improve their standing. They do this regardless of the price of labor (unless labor gets really cheap but this is broadly not true in the US or EU). Investing in such assets give them an advantage.

The problem is when everybody does this. Then its no longer an advantage but a necessity. There's probably something to be said about this also raising the barriers to entry in certain fields (e.g. try opening up your steel foundry).

Therefore, businesses will look to technology to augment and/or replace labor whenever they can. This is regardless of the current labor market (barring extreme circumstances, of course).

Our brains are physical organs that break the same way a leg or the liver does. There is no reason to avoid treating brains like we do all the other organs. But no, "well, try to will it into existence" is the main MO of doctors with supposedly years of education and experience. Not to mention the commonly held belief.

AFAIK moderators at other organizations are also only reviewing content that has already been flagged somehow. I don't think it makes a difference. It comes down to good faith. If the company follows the recommendations of NCMEC on handling the material (and NCMEC absolutely does provide those recommendations), I doubt they're in any danger at all.

Obviously you could not make the same argument yourself unless you were also a reputable megacorp. There are upsides to being king. In this case, NCMEC wants the actual perps in jail so they're not going to take shots at Apple or its employees on technicalities.

> C is the language where you've found things to be straightfoward? I'm curious what you're working on where this is the case.

Recently I've done networking, threading, embedded, GUI (2D/3D), compilers/interpreters - most is completely from scratch. I'm not a world-class expert in any of these domains but I'd like to think that I'm decent, especially last year I've finally made a leap in my understanding of systems design. In general, the stuff that I manage to complete gets exceptionally few bug reports and has good performance without any optimization.

I'm not claiming that my statements have any scientific accuracy, just that C is what turned out to be subjectively the most versatile, productive, and fun one for me - even though (or because) it meant going through a steep learning curve, learning how to do most things from scratch. I've tried quite a few languages before, I have for example significantly invested in: bash/sh, python, Javascript, "modern" C++, Haskell. And coded in a few others, like Java, C#, Postscript, Erlang, Perl... Today I'm still doing some Python for some scripting / admin stuff, but I don't enjoy it anymore.

If I had to find one reason why I don't like those languages, it's that they make it so hard/impossible or obscure to do the simplest thing that a program needs to do: Copy data. Shaping the code and data architecture to the problem from the ground up brings wins in the long run. It seems to me like most languages optimize for brevity and cleverness in toy examples or short script-like programs, while larger architectures simply don't profit from the conventions or syntax that the more "convenient" languages set up - beyond a few thousand lines of code those are only getting in the way. I don't need one predefined way how to do "objects" or "interfaces" - the preexisting stuff is usually not a good solution to the problem. It's better approaching problems by looking at what data representations are needed and how can they be transformed between each other, and this stuff can usually be achieved directly by mostly copying data around. C doesn't even encourage the programmer to try anything more complex, and this tends to result in programs that solve the problem in a straightforward way.

This made me think of the Butlerian Jihad in Dune:

I'd say the typical remedy that societies have adopted for these sorts of things is legislation, though regulatory capture[1] is an issue that blocks the way.

Doom came out much later in 1994. Wolfenstein 3d and a ton of other games worked fine on a high speed 286.

EMS also works fine, heck it even works fine on an 8088. What doesn't work are things like EMM386 that emulate EMS using extended memory.

The 286 supported up to 16MB of XMS and if you could afford that much RAM, you probably could afford a 386 or 486 CPU..
Bingo. I wish I could upvote this comment more. All the geeks get distracted by words like “cloud” or “virtual” and forget that all this stuff we depend on has a physical presence at some point in the real world. That physical presence necessitates humans interacting with other humans. Humans interacting with humans falls squarely in the “things governments poke their noses into” bucket. It’s like the early days of Napster when people were all hot for “peer to peer”, as if that tech was some magic that was going to make record labels and governments throw up their hands over copyrights.

You're still "fitting in" to a workflow with Vim, and one that's arguably suboptimal if your setup would benefit from the kind of computer aid to software development that an IDE would provide out of the box.

You'd probably need to create a network of people that accepted physical cash and gave you crypto in return, sort of like localbitcoins.

I guess you could buy a chain of Bureau de Change outlets and have them convert cash to bitcoin, monero etc. I'm surprised this isn't already happening to be honest - they have all the infrastructure and licenses already.

There's some mix between "it's slow" and "it sets its timeout threshold too low" - a lot of queries would be OK if they just had a bit more time to run. And unfortunately, the time wasted on the badput of the killed queries just slows down everyone else. (They really need a batch queue)

The advantage you mentioned is the one I've seen that has the most benefit. If users are ever modifying the file raw they're going to bork the tab characters - nevermind some developer opening the file who has his editor configured to aggressively convert tabs to spaces.

Tabs are trivial to actually type (so they're much off than, say, FormFeed) but they're difficult to visually distinguish. I also think it's generally a good habit to just force quoting of all fields in CSV to dodge any impending user errors.

Human readable file formats have surrendered space efficiency for legibility and the main attribute they need to focus on, IMO, is defense against human errors.

It's my understanding that PH is the only adult site with this issue. They got in hot water because of a series of high-profile lawsuits and media pieces about exploitation videos on their platform.

Imagine believing that escaping a fire by car would ever work. Of the 25 people who died in the 1991 Oakland fires, many were killed when the fire overtook them in their cars in a massive traffic jam. Mass evacuation is when the colossal stupidity of car-based transportation is most clearly evident.
The difference is the consent of the governed.

No, it changes the argument to "Bitcoin is inconvenient and requires a lot of maintenance. I have to track margin, not lose my wallet, not get scammed, etc. and if I forget to roll my futures and it collapses I lose 80% of my money"

Which I would agree with, but the original "volatile instruments cannot be used for pricing" isn't true.

> doesn't that prove that volatility does matter.

It doesn't matter for making it "possible" or even "safe in principle". It does matter if you want it to be convenient.

> aren't you really just pricing in USD?

Sort of, but you can choose to price 90% of it in USD and 10% in Bitcoin. So arguments with a discrete "impossible" seem in conflict with this continuous ratio.

The point is: If there's a maximum volatility an agent is willing to accept, one can construct a financial setup that meets the constraint. So the volatility itself shouldn't be a reason against it.
Sex work should be legal. I do not want to use the word “prostitution” as it carries unnecessary stigma. The main consideration is the safety of sex workers. Exploitation does exist but victims are hesitant to go law enforcement precisely because sex work is illegal. On the flip side people organizing sex work enterprises (aka “pimps” and “madams”) are already breaking the law so for them application of violence is not out of the framework.

There are many with crypto who struggle to get the normal banking system to touch their money. And, no, the vast majority of those are not engaged in any sort of illegal activity.

It’d be much easier to just pay my mortgage in crypto, then the endless back and forth that happens to get a bank to take crypto proceeds. (Count yourself lucky if they don’t shut down your entire account!) Crypto users are much like sex workers in this regard.

When my crypto startup launched, it was nearly impossible to find a bank to give us a checking account. We were literally walking around with a VC check and nowhere to cash it. Just because we had the words “cryptocurrency” in our charter. 99% of the banking system hates crypto. This is a smart move to deliver value to an underserved, now very wealthy, customer segment.

There is no limit to the number of addresses you can have in Bitcoin. Best practice is to NEVER reuse an address. So this is all a lot harder than you're making it out to be.

there are plenty of stablecoins, and most NFTs are priced in ETH. It's also trivial to convert volatile tokens into stable tokens or fiat automatically. This is a non-issue, but is brought up by those who have not paid attention to the crypto market in the past 5 years.

I think all labor blue/white bordering around the middle class has another thing coming. Okay, so suddenly we’re all too good for the blue collar jobs. Fine, go to school or get training and come to the white collar industry.

I can say without any allusions that white collar work is saturated and competitive, so you are showing up to the wrong port.

We will need those blue collar jobs, and if industry starts filling it with immigrants while you are off trying to study up and failing to get that white collar job, you’ll lose out double (no income for all those years). All while this is happening, the blue collar industry will further depress wages because they have even cheaper immigrant labor now - the new standard.

People will resort back to saving whatever money they have, and living at home with their parents. The economy will stagnate, and inflation won’t be a problem because we were overzealous on the reality of our economy.

I recently put a down payment on a house using a windfall from crypto. It was not easy: mortgage brokers need to do AML due diligence on all cash sources looking back at least six months.

I used a major crypto exchange to sell and convert my holdings into USD, but frustratingly they did not provide adequate documentation to show how the funds were contributed and transferred. I needed to email the exchange's support team, escalate multiple times, and finally they sent me a series of screenshots. The delay almost caused my offer to fall through.

This would have been much easier if I could have transferred crypto directly to the mortgage company.
