I was a bit surprised by the crash, I would have sold and buyed back cheeper. But I thought the information was already in the price. I could imagine someone tried to make it crash hard by selling a lot and creating a panic, and failed.
taskwarrior on Linux shell, but also for work. I'm kind of meditating every day over it for a while, doing some adjustments, until I get myself to do something.
Where did you get the idea about what I know and what I don't know about Africa? Is Malaria really mainly a problem for the city dwellers with high living standards? Brasil is destroying their rain forrest. And one reason why they can is because they don't have the same problem with Malaria.
Good example: There is no homeschooling allowed in Germany. And private schools and universities are rare. The public education system is full of international socialist propaganda.
What's it with the bank accounts? You can transfer money within the EU without any problems. I pay my rent in Spain from a German bank account. Though, getting wired internet is another thing, these companies seem to ignore European law.
I really hope every Linux distro and all these other OSs will support it from now on, right from the start. Including recognicing .opus files. It's the perfect format for podcasts, because it's great with voices even if the bitrate is low.
The term 'racism' should be socially banned, because of it's misuse and because it can mean so many things. Basicly racism only exists as an combat term.
Like it or not: Gold is money. And Bitcoin even works better as money. And of course it is used at some point. It just doesn't need to be invested into the economy to increase value. So theris an alternative to betting in the pyramid of debt.
> But without the need for pseudo-anonymity why would anyone ever use it? Why would your grocery store use bitcoin over dollars?
Because the want the money from people which have bitcoins? Because creditcard fees are to high? (just forget about the BTC fees or the nearly fictional double spending problem) Another reason could be that the owner has Bitcoins and wants to support them. There might be more reasons.
> What is the intrinsic value of ETH or Bitcoin? It literally has nothing to back it.
The brand and the places where you can pay or donate with it, or exchange it. The fact that it can't be seized by the authorities, the limit on inflation wired into the software and system. And thats most likely not all of it.
Bitcoin was ment to be money which is good in the store of value part. Etherum has a higher inflation for all I know, and it is not primarily meant to be money.
If the Canadian system works like the German one than you can come back to the public system even when you are already ill. At least if you've been insured before for a while and you are not to old. If you are broke then it works even then. Sorry, if that might drive some people nuts now.
I often wanted a tag system, but this is not what I was picturing, I think. I'll rather like to have a database and an entry in the context menue to tag files without moving them. It should also be able to identify the file if is being moved or renamed.
Socialism is about distribution of wealth. This is mainly about distribution of risk. It is also a more fundamental thing than creating a more equal society.
It is also simply a fact that many people outside US don't call their country socialist just because they have a public healthcare system. So this might cause confusion.
If some gov dosn't like the power of those companies then the should feel free to support free software. The same goes for competitors and consumers. Regulation only in rare cases please.
Short question: What were the downsides to use Plan9 or Inferno as the fundament of a distro insted of Linux? Of course with Linux programms where it would be necessary.
I'm paying cents or even fractions of cents for every transaction. I think confirmations are overated anyway, since you could check e.g. on blockchain.info if double spending happend.
