Making projects/products perception be as good as the products themselves. Looking to meet people building cool, world improving things.
2. The whole idea is that open source means you don't have to care about "native". Look up nginx for a great example.
3. America from ww1 ish, definitely after ww2 and until about 2005/10 had a very very good reputation in most of Europe. The obama years gave it a bump up as well So basically for about 80-90% of the last 100yrs.
What can bitcoin "obvious" uniquely do that cannot be done better by other coins / tokens out there ? (As in privacy tokens have a blockchain and privacy, stable coins have utility of actually being able to be used as a means of payment etc etc ) en
Also can read up on the bootleggers and baptist scenario that happened between the oil industry and greenpeace...
There is no good guys in general, and whataboutism and making the scope bigger doesn't help.
The thing is that if the models you are building on are open source whether hosted on chinese / american / whatever service at least give you an option to switch provider easier vs a fable / chatgpt 5.6 that gets banned for none americans etc...
2 years ago america would have had the branding/perception advantage but right now that is well and truly gone...
If I lived in nazi Germany I would have left asap to the usa like countless people (Einstein etc) did... Strange how they didn't try and stop people back then getting out...
The real question is what can a citizen do in a none democratic country... If you were Russian would you publically be protesting the war inside of Russia?
And all the people saying renounce citizenship, is your country gonna give him theirs ? Does Estonia offer free Estonian citizenship to Russians who abandon their's?
The real elephant in the room that I feel doesn't come up enough in these discussions is the fact that Israel is a democracy with freedom to protest etc and they are according to even holocaust survivors committing a genocide and according to mathematica and reports killing countless more civilians yet where is them being cut off from the banking system...
Or UAE in Sudan etc. Etc.
I dunno Russia is always the big boogieman seemingly...
Anyway key point is your USD better be mint and at least 2018 or they will refuse it... Same at currency exchanges in most of south east Asia that have their own currency.
Elon Musk also massively decreased the cost of spaceflight and accelerated the advent of electric cars.
People, despite other people's desire, are complicated and neither pure evil nor pure good.
Seems like you just don't like musk and have to find a bad reason...
Personally I like the idea of ideas > event > people...
If I'm wrong on this post and you are really that capable I'd suggest you go work for comma.io because self driving cars/vehicles is definitely in top 5 of best upcoming inventions.
Good luck!

It was too late to review the flashcards on which he had collected the toughest questions venture capitalists had asked him.
They’d run out of cash in twelve weeks. Of course, nobody knew this except for Terry—as a founder, Terry carried that burden alone. He protected his team from the dire reality so they could focus on shipping the goddamn product.
... The burden of running out of pay for the other guys is casually not mentioned?...
Unless your only audience is startup founders I might just replace it with some different phrasing...
He didn't want to distract his team while also fearing about being able to keep paying them...
Just my 2c to make the average reader care more :))
I don't come here for reddit. Have a nice day.
Personally, especially in the age of llm's, I wouldn't do so much projection and insinuation under a profile that is linked to your online/real identity.
While on the one hand strong opinions are generally appreciated, not too many people who consider themselves a cancer are looking for some to help them with "overall growth."...
I guess for some reason it struck a nerve and that's why you felt the need to continue (well and sunken cost phallacy obviously) but again no upside and unlimited downside.
Anyway if you're in vietnam hmu for a drink but imho do yourself a favor and stop trying to get imaginary internet points - we are all dogs (on the internet ...) for good or bad but you have a name.
Take care.
I would suggest you a mirror + ass out of you and me reminder... The human ability to know the motives about the other person is severely overestimated...
I wanted to have a friendly philosophical thought experiment / different pov with the original poster, if he had the time and desire to do so. instead you butted in and went into a full blown j'accuse style which was very unpalatable.
I wish you a nice day touching some grass and enjoying all the beautiful stuff a cancer iyho has created. Take care.
Not that I expect too much deep thinking of someone who chooses to call themself trumpdong...
All I know from them is their words... Which I hope we can agree where kind of negative (I personally prefer not to be a cancer hbu ?)
There is no such thing "as a species"... It's not like we are ants... Some groups of humans/individuals are net neutral, some net positive and most net negative.
The question is always about incentives and externalities... and not what we as a nation/city/... Whatever prefer but what we are willing to stop doing...
At the end of the day the world is the way it is because the people who choose the game are the ones who keep playing it.
The thing that got me with his comment is that he based on his website is relatively succesful... Unlike this fake belief that billionaires hold all the power it is in general the 0.1% that hold the power... With the consent of rhe 9.9% and he's most likely 9.9% ...
This not having kids as a noble sacrifice is just choosing to be weak tbh unless he's actually tried but if that is the case it's definitely not in public.
If any nation used a nuke it would easily start a chain reaction.
Israeli politicians, statesmen etc have often talked about greater israel and dehumanizing about Palestine... So yeah countless videos/ interviews / written scenarios but a billboard omg !!! The nerve... It's not like a current and still minister saying during an interview that all palestinians are animals... Definitely not in the democracy that is Israel, a person like that would be immediately thrown out right ?
Who cares about ethinicity? You apparently do. 1 human civilian = 1 human civilian I don't care about ethnicity. Guess who cared about ethnicity and is responsible for one of the worst slaughters in the world... Seems like it would be a bad thing to focus too much on that...
Israeli soldiers have killed people in ambulances, children, elderly etc.
Why should israel have nuclear weapons ?
2016 was definitely too bad and especially with a baby...
If all they do is not have kids and claim that we are a cancer the minimum they could do is that other classic
Speaking is silver but silence is gold...
And well I firmly believe the biggest problem is the pervasive desire to be weak and complain by those who have the possibility of actual impact.
The battle is lost before it's fought and all.
But yeah we are being led by people with "inferior" visions for the world ~ Plato... But calling ourselves shit ain't gonna help it's just giving yourself and easy exit.
Choose to be the change you wanna see in the world and find other who want to do that and stop saying "woo be us" in public as it just doesn't help.
The world is the way it is because we complain and consume too much and act & care too little. But change always starts with you and first your attitude. And then well inspire others with your actions to make this world (one of ) the best versions it can be
Both on the eastern front and the western front the soviets were responsible for the ultimate defeat of the Axis.
Note: I'm not pro russia or pro America... Unlike the current team putin / Trump / Zelinsky / Taylor Swift and they can't do anything wrong we should always strive to discuss events > people.
Iran got invaded. North Korea didn't and won't. Cuba might.
Guess what those 2 countries that are part of the world don't have that the 3rd does...
A more relevant comparison (- the baiting) would be another Hiroshima or Nagasaki given that those are the only nukes that have been used against civilian targets...
Also: despite nethanyahu saying for the last 30yrs that they have nukes (look up the compilation it's quite funny) the only one party in the middle east that we are 100% sure of has nukes is Israel...
> While we also found Native American, Hispanic, and white women characters, the most viewed and engaged-with AI-generated characters found by The Verge are Black women.
What we need is LVT or better public transport to either give money back to the people who create the value (average citizens) or to create an increase in desirable places to live (as in can get in <30min to work, do shopping etc etc) or more remote jobs for more people so they can move to lcol areas
Unfortunately the nimby's on average are most home owners (60%) and close to be home owners... ~ "temporarily embarrassed millionaires" ~ "everyone starts of libertarians and ends up conservative" aka first you fight for more housing then when you have it you become like the average homeowner...
