"hi I'm a liar and we only did something because the bad press started to go mainstream. fuck trans people"

you have a point, you don't appear to have read that you're a fucking idiot enough

Good news, you now have to read every tweet made on Twitter or you're against free speech!

"sure you might get pretty sick, but if you power through the diarrhea and cramps you can enjoy the benefits of getting some serious food poisoning"

I can't believe you're giving away this advice for free

believing in things that aren't true makes a lot of arguments fall flat

For something that supposedly loves babies, "god" sure enjoys spontaneously aborting them

I always feel like I'm missing something about literate programming because every example is "godawful". Transitioning between text and context-less code fragments littered with markup is incredibly jarring, and instead of something "written for humans", you now have something that is neither text _or_ code that you have to piece together and hold in your head as you go.

Like most? all? of the names dropped in the article, he appears to be interminably up his own ass. Not sure why he was notable enough for a long form interview

Exactly! Imagine not wanting to be your own bank or lose your life savings to a buggy contract... pathetic

> I read this often and maintain the attitude that scripture, science, art are all branches of the same Tree.

Have you considered that having a tree where one of the branches lets you believe things based on little, bad, or no evidence, and those beliefs are then unable to be challenged, which leads to you being able to make laws based on those beliefs, is not a great idea? I sure wouldn't eat an apple from that tree!

That situation should be added to the Wonderlic!

"When evaluating candidates who will be working with large amounts of money, should you give them the Not-IQ-but-we-all-know-that's-what-it-is test:

a) before you weed out the minorities, who by definition cannot be trusted around nor deserve large amounts of money

b) after you weed out the minorities, who by definition cannot be trusted around nor deserve large amounts of money

c) I find this question offensive and would like to out myself as either a minority, who by definition cannot be trusted around nor deserve large amounts of money, or a minority sympathizer

d) An IQ test is not needed because there are other, more legal, ways to weed out minorities, who by definition cannot be trusted around nor deserve large amounts of money"

d) is the trap choice, as the IQ test is entirely for the benefit of the candidate so they feel like they're part of the "exclusive club" of smart non-minorities who by definition can be trusted around and deserve large amounts of money. b) is then the obvious answer as there is no risk of a non-minority complaining because only an asshole would apply to work at a big hedge fund.

You seem fairly upset over this. Have you considered organizing like-minded individuals and forming a campaign to raise awareness on the issue until they apologize to you for apologizing for being inept bigots?

> They are a business

with poor ethics

Because the Gates Foundation publishes its returns? https://www.gatesfoundation.org/about/financials

How do you know? Has he shown you his bank statements?

Unless you're Kim Peek you're not doing inventory or trends in your head.

Poring over individual transactions sounds like a terrible, if not impossible, way to identify aggregate trends

> And then... yeah, you can't directly apologize and take responsibility because that would cost you a fortune

The system is truly working when you can just play dumb and rest easy knowing everyone you screwed is too poor to do anything about the situation in court

Why can a vapid blog post from a famous person make the front page, but a serious, if slightly aggressive, response to it gets downvoted? Did everyone just want to circle jerk about how they too are just like famous person?

So essentially, as long as he says he is only making all of this money so he can donate it, he gets the prestige of having already donated it without having done so yet, as well as a free pass to make the money however he sees fit?

If telling people you were going to do something was actually doing it, we wouldn't need contracts

"good things" is someone who claims to want to give his money away yet keeps getting richer, and is also getting a lot of his wealth by running an ethically dubious crypto exchange that is plastering its name on anything that will take their money?

> The reason he's keeping FTX open is to earn more money to give away to environmental, socioeconomic, and health organizations and research.

There is no way you posted that with a straight face.

You're supposed to tell them it's broken before you tell everyone else it's broken

You are inside a cult, complaining that people outside have not differentiated levels of extremes inside the cult, and therefore you do not view being similar to the cult as a bad thing. This is not a defense of the cult you seem to think it is.

"really early days" is an argument that a lot more work is needed, not that everyone should go all in knowing there is going to be a lot of collateral damage along the way even _if_ it works out.

Great Missouri facts:

* One abortion clinic in the entire state! It would be zero if not for the pesky courts. If Mike gets his way, Missouri will be "the most Pro-Life state in the country!"

* No permit required for open or concealed carry! Sell or buy your guns with whoever you like. You can even point your guns at filthy liberals with your finger on the trigger and the governor will pardon you of any crimes you may be convicted of

* 54% of the state is fully vaccinated, one of the lowest rates in the country! If you need any more encouragement to visit, masks are optional and actually frowned upon by the better class of Missouri citizens (conservatives)!

* Current Missouri Senator Josh Hawley attempted to overthrow the government on Jan 6!

* No voting by mail! "So if they don’t [feel safe voting in person], then don’t go out and vote". Great words, Mike!

The only thing that will be transparent with zero knowledge blockchains are the buggy contracts

"finance is corrupt" doesn't work in favor of crypto because insofar as crypto addresses the issue, it only allows finance to be even _more_ corrupt

Your reading comprehension is stellar!
