Hey nice initiative! I have similar ideas as you, maybe we should collaborate?

Did you file bugs explaining these problems? That's the first step for someone to look at them.

Second step is, of course, if you can even fix them yourself.

Exactly, BitWarden is not as shit as others like LastPass or 1Password.

Two consciousnesses with the same origin. What's wrong with that?

> But when I challenge myself to describe specifically what the difference is, I can’t.

There is one difference that will never change: we human (and non human) beings can feel pain.

Does he take crypto as payment? If yes, pls pass me his contact :)

You don't seem to understand what "counterparty risk" means. If all FTX users had used a non custodial exchange to purchase crypto, the CEO of that non-custodial exchange would not have access to any customer funds, so he would not be able to commit any crime like that.

So what the DOJ should learn from this is to not allow bail to perpretaros of cryptocurrency-related scams.

The only thing that allowed this in the first place is counterparty risk, the very problem that bitcoin actually solves. People will have to learn this the hard way, unfortunately.

> I want a ‘pure’ keyword. Any function that is pure can only call functions that are also keyworded as pure. No side effects, guaranteed.

It's better to default to the best practice. What you should wish is for an `impure` keyword and then all impure functions that are not marked as such would raise a compiler warning.

I've been looking for ages for a way to learn chinese with pinyin (or just audio, no chinese characters), please don't give up.

Sure, so compare them with Google if you want (because I guess google's electricity bill for data centers is huge). Now, why would you want to forbid what bitcoin miners do with the energy they purchase while you don't forbid what Google does with the energy they purchase?

Bitcoin mining uses energy, it does not generate it. What needs to be regulated is the dirty ways of producing energy, they should be banned out right. All fossil fuels.

But miners just pay their energy bills like any other citizen. Who are you to tell them what activity should they perform with the energy they purchase?

As for me, I'll keep ubuntu but I'll start using flatpak instead of snap.

I'm more concerned about how possible it is that one of these lasers harms a human by mistake when trying to target an insect.

Why not? Just don't work 40h a week and then you have time.

Mmm ok it might be true that he has technical knowledge, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt there. But thing is, some things he does really suck big time, such as claiming he's the founder of Tesla (merit stealing smell right there) or maskerading their driving assistance system as FSD, when it's well known that his system is the worst in the market (probably will stay like that until they add Lidar sensors).

> because the reward for having merit - money - is itself an effective substitute for merit.

True! It's exactly what happens with, for example, the richest man in the world right now. Everyone loves him because they think he has so much merit, but he's just a glorified recruiter and/or magnate, he doesn't have any technical knowledge at all.

Exactly, and the ironic thing is that the most insightful comment in this page is coming from a throaway account (possibly because of the fear of reputation-burn or something...).

Holding foreign currency (USD)is not that easy and if there is a "corralito" event like the one that happened in Argentina, your USD is at risk too.

Oh well that's interesting. I myself have never had this problem in the countries I live.

> noone will trade with you

There are P2P non custodial exchanges where you can sell your BTC in person (e.g. LocalCryptos), in case you need to stop hodling for some sudden expense, like the medical bills for your dad.

> How would self-custody of BTC allowed this man to pay for his father's medical bills? As far as I'm aware the hospital did not accept bitcoin payments.

Sell your BTC for cash, in person.

> There have also been several instances in time where BTC has lost 80% of its value (and many more instances of 50%+)

Better than the 90% inflation (or withdrawal "correction") in Lebanon.

Have you tried hitting the gym? Since I myself started running 30minutes in the treadmill every other day (so not even everyday!) I sleep like a baby.

> A type system can keep you from having to write those tests.

Because with a proper static lang (hint: not Java, not C#), nil doesn't exist? Right.

Wow good to know!

Mod parent up! I don't understand why these comments are being flagged. Too much white-knights in HN in opposition to open innovation.
