It’s also great at translation. Actually really great down down to interpolated strings containing variables.

Take English strings.en.json, copy to strings.th.json, open side by side, delete English text and watch copilot fill in the thai translation

Same people causally rationalizing the environmental costs of Bitcoin, nothing new here.

Which is yet to be proven worse than the stupidity of the masses

Very simplified

Dengue has multiple strains. The initial infection with one strain tends to be not so bad and you may acquire immunity to it. However, it triggers a much worse, often hemorrhagic outcome if you acquire one of the other strains.

Vaccines, afaik mirror that property, changing the risk calculation by removing the less risky first infection.

Not communities.

Good. Russian is not a legitimate part of the world community anymore.

This is how it will end for now.

Kyiv reduced to rubble, it’s people massacred and Great Russia / New USSR enjoining North Korea on the pariah list of the world.

Whataboutism at its finest. Well done.

After seeing what Fox did to rot boomer minds, how can one in good faith make a statement like this.

They are closer to reality than Fox….

It’s a unique opportunity because it’ll force conservatives who are mostly to blame for the status quo to choose between Weak in defense and Fiscal restraint

Not to current fingerprinting methods, they are not.

Singapore has a wave of SMS banking scams 3 months ago

The regulator has already intervened to force changes in banks (no more links in messages, shared liability, protective measures, authenticated SMS) and Telcos (SMS ID registry)

So yes, in the financial world, in properly run countries, systemic issues are addressed by regulatory systems. Because losing an email is one things, losing your live savings is another.

Crypto either will end up fully regulated or die

Let’s force Meta to give up WhatsApp…..

Wasn’t enough to fool Singapore’s MAS, who are likely the most capable regulator in this space.

It’s no surprise the vast majority of companies who applied for a license ended up silently withdrawing or having it rejected, even Binance.sg who have significant investment from Temasek (state linked investment arm)

This. On top of it all the evidence needed to charge you for years to come is conveniently left on the immutable blockchain.

These are just bullshit libertarian feel good narratives that are as realistic as people declaring themselves sovereign citizens

China banned it for urgent energy reasons.

Taxing it is easy, tax the transaction which is public on the blockchain.

Institute KYC rules and enforce them, punishing anyone who holds an anonymous wallet.

Bitcoin isn’t some magical thing; the old crowbars reverse engineering works even better on it since all transactions are public on the blockchain forever.

That’s the opposite of substantiating. Hand waving ‘it’s the early days’ commentary

Now where have we seen this before…

Meanwhile the crypto bros use their acquired wealth to truly advance the world on the Ms Satoshi.

Because when there is an immutable record of all transactions you ever did in perpetuity, you’ll be so much better off in a fascist run country.

The freedom to fuck your life over, forever, in record the moment you make that one transaction that connects your identity is sure worth the fact that it’s uncensorable.

Lol.

So a use case the average citizen doesn’t give a flying fuck about.

Oh gosh, I wish I could transfer money to <country I never had any desire to send money to>~ let’s sacrifice consumer protections, privacy and stability for that said nobody ever.

It’s just like ‘financial inclusion’ from the ilks of Peter Thiel is code for shoveling vulnerable and financially illiterate people into the gears of the pyramid machine

Funnily enough those screaming it was engineered loudest also were the ones saying it’s just the flu and we should react to it by not wearing masks.

I propose that what we really see is that humans have a very hard time without someone to blame (hence victim blaming, hence religion and a whole bunch of other coping mechanisms).

That’s a lot of wild claims without any substantiation. The bar at HN surely is higher than this.

No they did not. They made an observation about a related field.

That said, animal abuse is correlated with human abuse

Just let the patsies add it to the blockchain themselves, give them tales of web3 ;)

Tragedy of the commons right there.

This assumes that human social interaction somehow is optional, exactly the mistake the parent went to point out.

There is no world where social skills somehow are ‘bias’. They are core.

See Congress every day. Do as your told, not as you see, works on nation state level too, meaning it doesn’t work.

90%+ of relevant traffic is mobile 95%+ of mobile traffic is native

Don’t delude yourself

Of course they are. Next they sell to the same gullible audience as every other Ponzi scheme.

After all, they need a new communications solution for their next January 6th event after Parler handed over their comms and that sweet ultra secure alt-right phone turned out to be a rebranded budget set.

It’s like shooting fish in a barrel.
