Which iirc was the basis for "cleanly mined" btc with little to no transaction history on-chain and tumbler/mixer services that attempted to obfuscate it.

Or when it's framed as "global competitors playing dirty games"?

And if you touch it, your evil doppelganger will spawn.

(Stargate SG-1 and Atlantis reference fyi)

I imagine with tons of post-processing back on Earth.

Compare and contrast the Eagle Nebula from it's raw form enhanced with "false colors".

> Unfortunately I've met people who think RT is more trustworthy than CNN..

Like Abby Martin, a former journalist whom previously worked for RT? It's so easy to allege nowadays that people coming from working with a state media to be labeled a propagandists by them, guilt by association style.

I'm inclined to believe that people would opt for condensed versions of history as brief generalities than being aware of the overall context as well as nuances that may have potentially or conveniently ignored for expedience.

I know Rep. Dan Crenshaw is unpopular on HN but he recently interviewed [1] Jon Huntsman Jr, the former ambassador to both China and Russia.

I think, if the SWIFT ban really was "on the table", they would be making the case for China's own CIPS/CBCD system, if Russia decided to opt for such service as an alternative.

TIL the NSA [1] has it's tentacles in SWIFT too..

Did you read the article? Neverware's CloudReady was acquired by Google.

"The only winning move is not to play."

Not any. In Taiwan for example, buying a prepaid sim + service still requires a form of state/national identification, even when they're purchased from a 7-Eleven.

Treason?

These games were my mobile companion during brief writer's block while learning C.

SpaceChem is where it started for me.

"FDIC insured"..

I use a GV number for 2FA over SMS as the last mile solution.

If I had a pessimistic-comedic attitude towards titles of articles, it would read like this: "So you like putting a leash on your husband? Kinky."

I think what `echelon` is trying to say is that regardless of what "side" you're on, this opens the door to be used by both whenever an (arbitrary) precedence presents itself or is "politically expedient".

Do you also treat an artist's work in creating game assets as something that shouldn't be considered art?

It's okay for desktop use but frustrating on mobile.

More of option B? If it hasn't been mentioned already and I know it already is a contentious topic repeating it, the drama with J.R. was allegedly a "professional political attack":

Or the grandma giving VR head?

Whoa, this is helpful.

Used to enjoy using userscripts + greasemonkey until the extension was removed from the chrome browser store. Tampermonkey for firefox fell out of favor over the Dark Reader extension as default but didn't know uBlock Origin can be used this way.

So on the nose..

I think it's more about the pseudonymity of internet culture and the interactions it tends to fosters. eg: I am responding to you without knowing you personally and the only relationship I have with you is your username and the broader HN message board; the freedom to be critical without human 1:1 feedback.

I guess you take the motto "politics ruins everything" scorched earth approach more seriously.

Culturally. Demoscene back then didn't have the common web frameworks we have today as low-level programming was as bare metal as you could get.

I think the modern rendition of demoscene has transitioned into the generative tagline.

I wouldn't mind if the CCP wants to own all the garbage content on tiktok as a tactic against us, as long as people are aware of the nonsense hosted on there.

Thanks, @libsoftiktok.

I always saw it that way, away from all the global politics and bullshit, "for science". Imagine if this turned into circus auction to lure Musk or Bezos to buy the damn thing instead..

Or stealth edit but by then people would have moved on to the next consumable news article.
