Because banks were never supposed to provide untraceable, uncensorable, unsanctionable, anonymous transactions. They do the opposite.

Cryptocurrencies are not banks. They're coins. Analogous to cash which also allows for private transactions. Cryptocurrency is an attempt to create a digital cash system. It has nothing to do with banks.

There is a mountain of links provided in recent comments I made, showing that it's happening in Australia and that some people are clamoring for a two-tier society. Victoria's premier is straight up saying he wants a "vaccinated economy" through 2023 - effectively banning anyone who doesn't partake, regardless of antibodies, from normal life.

That is not a slippery slope. That is reality staring you in the face. Vaccines are great. These mandates are idiotic for reasons I've thoroughly described and nobody has yet addressed the contentions on their own merit.

I don't care if George Washington in a time of war against the superpower of the time made a desperate gambit against smallpox infection in literal military conflict. None of that changes the reality of things - the vast majority of both countries have antibodies from one source or another. Those antibodies are known to be effective at preventing Delta, with breakthrough cases being rare.

Any mandates that are excluding someone from society or employment (outside of hospitals) are a mistake. We simply don't need them. We have already reached far beyond the 60-70 percent threshold Fauci and other public servants were saying would be required for herd immunity / endemic covid.

Your response is basically just justifying everything in Australia, the tyrannical overreach happening in other countries (including some would say in the USA with the recent Biden mandate on corporations). These things are NOT NECESSARY, on the very terms established by Fauci and co over the entire last year.

So explain in more detail how it's a slippery slope when (per all the links I've shared about Australia). Or explain to me why these public servants are ignoring reality and not making admissions about antibodies.

It's rather strange when someone can see all these links and their only real response is to try to justify it by calling out some rhetorical fallacy even though there wasn't one. What is this, high school debate class? I sourced my claims about what is literally happening down under, and it's not a slippery slope to understand history or to make noise when the alarm bells are going off.
I think trying to find the book in the movie is useless, there's already the book for that, and the movie can't really be better at being a book than the book. I don't have many memories of Dune, but I have still strong ones of Hyperion, and I don't think I would ever be satisfied by a movie that attemps to be just the book. On the other hand, I would be fine with Villeneuve adapting it with his usual style (though maybe Hyperion is a bit too organic for his style? It's hard to say).

> A better style of movie

> It wasn't bad, but it certainly wasn't good.

I think it was great.

I'd agree with that. A principle quality of Agile (what was intended, though often not what is) is responsiveness to changing circumstances and reality. A commitment to the wrong development model is anti-Agile, though very common. It's, for most purposes, just as bad as Waterfall's commitment to building the wrong thing.

We’ve had great success with using Anycast for campus DNS. Two IPv4 and two IPv6 addresses map to something like four or six recursive DNS servers. Since that went live, I can’t think of a single instance of a server failure impacting DNS. We’ve had network outages, sure, but nothing specific to DNS or Anycast.

You worded everything in absolutes. If you ask people to take the strongest interpretation of that, you're asking them to just concede that you're right.

I think you actually seem to get it that there's something dangerous about identifying with the problem (e.g. I am depressed) but you're jumping to conclusions about agency from there. No one who replied wanted to make that leap, nor did you offer any compelling reason to do so.

making them just another option among the others

Not quite. Amazon will make more profit than it does by removing the shipping subsidy. Then, given their preexisting market position and logistics/delivery network, it's still likely to be faster to get a book from Amazon if a local store doesn't have a copy. If you don't have to have the book right now and are already a regular Amazon shopper, Amazon still has a significant advantage.

Amazon is never going to be just another purchase option. That requires them to only compete on price. They have plenty of other advantages, and a legal mandate to increase their profit margin on book sales might shift book buyer's shopping habits a tiny bit, but it's not stopping the trend, and I doubt it's slowing things much either.

That's the subtext missing from the article. It seems actually rather obvious that a big company built on owning the mechanism of information retrieval and priority organization of that information would see a decentralized, or at least more open, means of organization that takes the reigns away from the search engines would see this as an existential threat.

>You would not find many objectors to the cause of making bureaucracy more efficient.

How do you define efficiency? If you expand the definition of a foreign agent under FARA dramatically, then wouldn't it probably mean expanding the bureaucracy a lot too?

But then, since most of them aren't agents of the foreign government, they would probably be much more likely to renounce citizenship.

Efficiency by some standards would be hindered by going to a lot of expense to decrease tax revenue.

Do you want people with dual US/Israeli citizenship to register under a revised FARA, or do you want them to choose between the two?

It's kind of like taxing cigarettes, do you want to reduce smoking, or fund things with the tax money?

Also, do you have any statistics on the proportions of dual citizens by country? As I said, it's a practical problem if you want to target Israel and the policy you want wouldn't in fact do so. But I don't know.

Ostensibly, I think for security clearances, they already take dual citizenship into account. So the conventional wisdom appears to be that is enough.

This is significant because a traditional ICE powered bike in the same class like the Yamaha TW200 costs about $4,500 brand new. This electric bike seems to have very similar performance characteristics for only about $1,000 more. That truly is competitive with ICE in just about every category.

Still, a bike like the TW200 has 30 years of parts and knowledge on the market that the electric bike doesn't. But this is exactly what needs to happen for those parts and knowledge to get built.

I would recommend reading Daniel Boorstin's book, The Americans: The Democratic Experience.

https://www.amazon.com/Americans-Democratic-Experience-Danie...

There are fascinating chapters about how the combination of railroads, mail-order catalogs, rural-free delivery of USPS, and chain stores like A&P successively wiped out local merchants in small town America in favor of distant economic centers.

The debates they had about those technologies and economic models are almost identical to the debates that have raged about Wal-Mart and later Amazon in my lifetime.

Foundation (on Apple TV) seems to be trying to GoT-ify the books, and not for the better in some cases (characters are less thoughtful, more action-hero, kind of weird choices). Dune (2021) at least avoided that, but it really needed more dialog. There are a lot of ponderous and beautiful scenes and soundscapes + landscapes, what Villeneuve is great at (it's in all of his movies that I've seen, and an element I greatly enjoy). However, watching it with a friend he had more questions than answers by the end, and not just because it was the first half of the book (and the first of the original 6 books). More dialog with a bit more explanation, which could easily have fit into the movie with its long scenes just watching people stand there and look contemplative or worried without extending the total runtime. The pair of movies may work well as a whole, but this movie is not a terribly good standalone film.

Exactly. If "Innovation, Ethics, Trust" are being addressed by a department:

1. They have no profit and loss, so are going to get sidelined by the higher impact (in any short or medium term) concerns of every department that does.

2. They have no direct control over serious corporate activities, so are going to be considered a distraction at best, interference at worst, by others under their own pressures. If they are noticed at all.

It isn't an accident when universal values are silo'd into departments from the rest of the company. It means leadership doesn't want the rest of the company to waste time or focus on them. But feel like the values need token recognition.

--

It gets even worse if these were governmental departments.

Department of Innovation: enforces acceptable methods and subjects of innovation, i.e. anti-innovation.

Department of Ethics: Reinforces the governments views by justifying them as ethical, and demands lip service to those fictional high ethics.

Department of Trust: You must trust us.

Worst one of all: Department of Truth. Here it is. Don't look elsewhere.

Who said economic growth cannot happen on a gold standard? I said it's a useless technology for civilizations that have better ones. You responded with an incoherent argument and a claim that 1850-early 1900s is a time period that shows the value of representative currency.

Instead of the straw man and the red herrings, please explain how abandoning the gold standard in order to survive the Civil War is evidence of how effective it is. Here's more context that might help:

"The beginning of 1862 found the Union's expenses increasing, and the government was having trouble funding the escalating war. U.S. Demand Notes — which were used, among other things, to pay Union soldiers — were unredeemable, and the value of the notes began to deteriorate. Congressman and Buffalo banker Elbridge G. Spaulding prepared a bill, based on the Free Banking Law of New York, that eventually became the National Banking Act of 1863.

Recognizing, however, that his proposal would take many months to pass Congress, during early February Spaulding introduced another bill to permit the U.S. Treasury to issue $150 million in notes as legal tender. This caused tremendous controversy in Congress, as hitherto the Constitution had been interpreted as not granting the government the power to issue a paper currency. "The bill before us is a war measure, a measure of necessity, and not of choice," Spaulding argued before the House, adding, "These are extraordinary times, and extraordinary measures must be resorted to in order to save our Government, and preserve our nationality." Spaulding justified the action as a "necessary means of carrying into execution the powers granted in the Constitution 'to raise and support armies', and 'to provide and maintain a navy'".

I remember in the 90s sitting on my grandmother's porch in rural PA at night. Huge moths everywhere. Luna moths being just about as common as mosquitos. Beetles bangings into the walls. Chubby spiders having so much food they couldn't even eat half of it. The walls were absolutely plastered with insects and you'd have to try to not get covered fireflies while walking through the grass.

Now there are some mosquitoes and crickets. Maybe a few moths sometimes. The walls outside are spotless.

Living in Asia now, I see insects about as much as I saw them back then. I have to wonder if there were even more back in the 90s, or if things are as good as ever here. But it's nice to see life.

>your religious politics

I think I clearly stated a non-religious rationale for Israel that I also said I am not convinced of.

How can I interpret the above phrase as if in good faith? Whose politics? What religion? I am not baptized, nor have I taken communion or had a bar mitzvah or anything else similar.

You sound like someone who doesn't understand American politics, and I was trying to help.

Treating this sort of comment as a threat is counterproductive. It's highly relevant to your stated goal of changing US policy to understand the biases and outlook of Americans.

Tactically, you must understand that everything is framed in terms of the right to exist, for a secular audience, not a religious or ethnic appeal. That applies to the Liberty, too.
