Yes, that's exactly how I feel about his long-delayed claims of explicit cut-and-dried (with decades of on-point precedent at the time he claims it occurred) illegal employment practice by his previous employer.
Dilbert remains some of the most cutting, divisive and fearless American satire. I'm sure some people are deeply hurt buy it, but I would hate to shy away from conversations about this topics.
Your comment has a needlessly confrontational tone. Anyway, the field of complex numbers is algebraically closed. Reals are not.
It's just that when a majority of the American people want certain changes in policy, they are not able to get them passed even though the country is a democracy.

The parent comment just gave reasons for that (among other things).
Sounds like Speaker Pelosi is continuing the American tradition of telling petty dictators to engage in impossible sexual acts. Good for her.
The headline on the landing page is
"Write interactive & collaborative code notebooks in Elixir".

That's pretty clear and coherent to me.
Let's take a modern example of the canadian truckers. How would you get money to them when Canada was able to get US companies to block their funding with fiat?

Use a different company and hope another few million doesn't get locked up? That seems like the only alternative and I'm not sure many people would think that's a viable alternative.
The helicopter joke cruelly and flippantly dismisses the feelings and distress felt by trans people. That’s not what’s going on in the Dilbert strip. The punchline isn’t “it’s ridiculous for a minority to identify as white.” The butt of the joke is instead the white boss, who wants the minority employee to fit into a socially constructed identity for “diverse” people.

And mocking the Judith Butler theories embraced by mostly white progressives isn’t the same as attacking the disadvantaged groups that white progressives like to use as shields.

There is nothing preventing someone from accepting it and providing the services you need.
You may have answered your own question. You don't need to turn it back into fiat for it to be used in the long run. Lightning network makes txns quick and cheap, and BTC volatility has been going down enough that it isn't hard to imagine it being stabler short term against fiat (though long term it will gain value as fiat collapses)

Artificial photosynthesis is absolutely required in several sectors, if you want to eliminate the use of fossil fuels. International air travel is the main example, so is space travel, and global shipping is a little behind. There's no way to fly passenger jets over the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean using battery power; the density is just too low. Likewise, if you want to have SpaceX continue to launch large methane-fueled or RP-1 fueled rockets without fossil fuels, capture of atmospheric CO2 and conversion to hydrocarbon fuel will be needed.

It's also a way of storing energy for long periods of time, i.e. if you're in the near pole regions of a planet, and want to capture solar energy in the summer and use it in the winter, batteries aren't going to work on those timescales. Some other means, generally a stable chemical conversion, will be needed. Converting carbon dioxide to methane or gasoline, converting nitrogen to ammonia (a bit dirty), even converting iron oxide to reduced iron, are all possible methods of doing this.

As far as converting atmospheric carbon dioxide to a form that won't eventually get back in the atmosphere, that's pretty difficult (you have to make limestone, CaCO3, or perhaps carbon fiber building materials, or even better, diamond).
If someone is trying to escape their local currency, they won't want an on/off ramp. In foreign nations with a large underground USD economy, people skip the local currency and trade/spend USD directly. The same could happen with BTC. In fact in the most extreme cases this transformation is already happening: https://www.reuters.com/technology/venezuelas-economy-regres...

They delivered ~925,000 cars in 2021 with just two factories. That is about 2% of global sales. Maybe a small player (wouldn't say tiny, tiny at this point) in 2021 but they are ramping up production at two factories completed this year and building a large expansion to the Shanghai plant. They will likely produce ~1.4 million cars in 2022 and north of 2 million in 2023. Where they peak out is not clear of course but at least 6 million cars per year from existing sites can be expected.

It has changed the world already. Many countries buy and stockpile bitcoin, similar to what they do with gold.

I wouldn't write it off _completely_, for everyone. Compiler bugs notwithstanding, it seems to work reasonably well if you don't mind extremely long compiler cycles for running on the hardware. It gives you pretty reasonable emulation tooling to work out how well it runs, whether things are pipelined and, efficient if you know what you are looking at - but it doesn't seem to save you actually having to learn how the FPGAs work and model data flow.

Of course, you are also beholden on drivers/adaptors being written to actually be able to use them.... which at this point is two chipsets, the newer of which has just been deprecated. Evaluating Xilinx HLS is next on my list, at least it seems to have the benefit of being around for much longer, and we have collaborators who have had success with the tooling.
There's an important difference: he knows what happened to him. You have no idea. So unless you have some conflicting evidence, the reasonable thing to do is listen to him about his own experience.

Or to put it another way: his own testimony is a form of evidence.

Whereas this entire diversion, starting from your comment, has added no new information. I think we should stop now.
It sounds like if the single member company invoices the foreign company and then pays you as an employee, with all the payroll deductions, that's fine?

That seems reasonable, the only thing is that you have to compare the foreign company invoice rate as a gross payment to salaries offered by domestic companies which are generally quoted as net payments? As I understand it, European salaries are usually quoted fully net --- you get exactly that amount, in contrast to US salaries which are mostly gross, there are a lot of deductions that start from the quoted amount, but some that are employer side and not usually quoted.
Bitcoin's price is primarily driven by market manipulation fueled by arbitrary Tether-tron printing. Tether-tron is used entirely internally by a criminal syndicate in order to create fraudulent chinese 'cookie cutter' exchanges, in a manner similar to casino chips - ie - "Here's $100 million for your new exchange, that you can only use to buy crypto within 'the family', incidentally pumping up their prices along the way'".

This is in addition to the arbitrary Tether-eth printing that you ought to be well aware of.

Well, Congress is a term used by a number of countries, not just the US, for their legislative bodies. The main difference between a Congress and a Parliament as far as I recall is that Parliament has a combined legislative and executive role, where Congress is solely legislative.

If the fact that no-one has yet come up with a way to either solve a particular mathematical problem (e.g. factorisation in polynomial-or-better time), or to prove that no such solution exists, means that a field has never matured, then you could say that the entire field of mathematics has never matured, because e.g. the Goldbach Conjecture has never been either proven or disproven.

Taking that line of reasoning further, given Godel's Incompleteness Theorem you could say that mathematics as a field will never have matured.

Why is communism better at solving country level collective action problems?

The only way I can think of is that communism frequently devolves into a dictatorship and if that dictator is more motivated to solve climate change than the democracy he'll do a better job solving it.

That and communist countries tend to be really poor which usually results in less carbon use per person.

Sort of agree. Find ways to issue them digital wallets with fiat currency support. Venezuelans using Zelle to transact in dollars comes to mind. It’s a financial inclusion and digital identity story, high level. But if you’re violating nation state laws (AML/KYC/money laundering/capital controls), you’re not likely to avoid repercussions for that, state monopoly on force and all that jazz.

This argument is even technically named the "God of the Gaps" argument that some of these believers feel that God can only "live" in the gaps of our knowledge, our scientific studies, our available records, so they are always looking for new gaps and always making cases that those gaps "prove" their idea of God.

The fortunate bit for them is that science is a slow, human discovery process and will always have gaps. For a scientist, this is where the wonder of science is: making hypotheses about things we don't know and then going out and finding it with as much rigor as they can think to apply.

The unfortunate bit for these particular sorts of believers that can't imagine their God living in science, that can't imagine their God wanting people to know as much about the world around them as possible, is that while there are always gaps, they are always shrinking or getting "solved" with new theories or new records/discoveries. At some point the only way to "protect the gaps" and thus protect their idea of God, their God of the Gaps, is to lean hard into ignorance and distrust of science. (Sometimes I almost feel sorry for them and that lack of imagination and/or trust that their God cannot exist in science/beyond just hiding in gaps like a creature of darkness.)

As another example of a "closed gap", in addition to some of the other good ones in sibling comments here, that I appreciate because it is very much an ur-example in that a symbol for atheism in counter to that gap has long been the "evolve fish" with legs, which also long seemed like a gap in the fossil record, especially to the "God of the Gaps" crowd.

Since those days we've closed that gap and found fossils of the Tiktaalik and done all sorts of science around the first land fishes, our lobe-finned ancestors that made the first "steps" onto land, the real life "evolve fish": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiktaalik

We can discuss our personal opinion on the Canadian protests of Winter of 2022, but I strongly believe that for average citizen, Crypto payments leave a HUGE exposure / attack surface. YES, there's going to be a Hacker News person who can figure out how to safely transfer crypto, and maybe even do something practical with it, in duress situations; but I feel that would end up complex enough to be achievable effectively with other crypto-less, equal-complexity methods. Meanwhile, average citizen's ability to safely and anonymously and SAFELY use crypto under duress is extremely limited.
