Wars just don't happen as quick as they used to?

It's not "Someone else made it rich with NFTs and crypto, and now I’m gonna make it rich with NFTs and crypto."
But "Someone else made it rich with NFTs and crypto, and maybe I'll do it to."
I don't think there's a feeling of certainty that they'll get a big payoff, but the possibility is enough.
They say people play the lottery not to win it, but to entertain the idea of winning. It gives you an escape. Cryptocurrency/NFT, for many people, is just a lottery which doesn't expire at the end of the week.
Edit: Just out of curiosity, anyone know what 7CR is, in USD?
Edit2: It's just over $9000
Well, they'll kill you.
That's a good reason to not go after them if you have a nice job as a politician.
China vs Islam. I would love to know what comes up on top. Which is the bigger baddie?
ID=rayiner, as far as I know there's no user tagging for hackernews, but I KNOW you've see seen the post. What's your opinion?
We had a that was damaged from being a display item, but only cosmetically. They wanted us to throw it in the trash compactor, instead of donating it to a coworker had a kid at 19, single mother, and made 7.50/h.
We snuck that crib out the back and hid it behind a dumpster while my buddy came to pick it up for her.
Possible abuse isn't a reason to have shitty policies.
I don't have a MacBook (but have been considering getting one), but I can't imagine that you need more that 16 GB of RAM to run a browser, no matter how memory-hungry Chrome might be.
Is this really an issue? Maybe you're trolling?
I don't understand how adding more memory is going to fix your performance. It's not like you're spinning up a HDD to swap.
What do you regret?
For small cars (compacts, sedans, coupes), the one thing I've noticed is that they seem to have much less window space than they used to. The reason for this, I've been told, is that there's a minimum height which the top of the door frame now has to reach. In older small cars, I remember being able to comfortably sit with my arm resting on the window sill. Modern cars, my arm has to be at an uncomfortable angle to even attempt to do so. Last time I was car shopping, I had a couple people mention that it was because of a safety regulation.
Which is fine, passenger safety is a nice thing, but there then is the unintended consequence of less overall visibility when driving.
My parents had a Saturn SL2 when I was a child. The car had amazing visibility, huge windows. It felt like driving in a bubble. When I compare that to newer cars, the visibility is much lower because of the smaller windows, maybe larger vertical support beams between the front and back seats... I assume that why they started having to include back-up cameras. You just can't see as much in a modern car as you could in an older one.
(Edited a couple things for clarity)
Yes and it appears we should consider rethinking that economy.

And it will. Isn't it better to act preemptively?
When there's multi-national corporations contributing to these things, you cannot fault the countries, the people. You can only fault Capital, those keen on extracting every little bit from the Earth, until nothing remains.
Hopefully the biosphere isn't too terribly damaged by the time we reach it.
It's been very strange. Things have actually gotten a little bit better lately, but for several weeks I was receiving several spam messages a day, all routed to my inbox. They all appear to be a similar format too, they all have a little area at the bottom with a fake company address, fake unsubscribe, and the subject is always sent using unicode text instead of ascii.
Of course it's playing politics. They're two different countries. Poltics are always what's at play.
I remember doing almost this exact thing as a child! Every night I'd fall asleep thinking of descending an infinite escalator, which existed in an empty space. Sometimes I was with other people, sometimes alone, but I found that by keeping the escalator in focus, I was able to switch into what now I realize was a lucid dream, right as I was falling asleep.
Your description regarding the feeling you had walking your dogs is very similar to something which happened to me once just as I was leaving work, as I was walking out of my office.
As I walked out the door, everything felt very crisp, my mind felt lighter, and it was as if my senses were working at 200%. At that time I believe I experienced that same "clarity regarding anything I examined in my mind" you described. I thought about several things and knew in that moment exactly what needed to be done in each of them, with what felt like more than absolute certainty. It only lasted a few minutes, and had left by the time I returned home.
It's never happened again. When I think back on that day, I can almost feel it, like I'm grasping at that sense of clarity, but it always remains out of reach.
I would figure the first thing needed to answer that question is defining the "difficult-to-quantify" cost, right?
Wait, no it doesn't work that way.
You "mine" it by joining their folding@home team, and you get banano based on how many folding@home work units you complete. It's pre-mined though, so maybe that doesn't quite fit.
There was another cryptocurrency I remember which was mildly popular years ago called Primecoin, which attempted to find a certain type of prime numbers. It's interesting, but I'm not sure if it ever provided any actual usefulness from the work performed.
I don't see any reason that a cryptocurrency couldn't be tied to something like protein folding or climate simulations. People just don't choose to do so.
They all seem a different type of bad, lately (some not just lately).
Yeah, isn't that very literally obstruction of justice?
