Scary.

Any ideas of how to fix it?

The word "Bible" means different things to different people. Just like the word "Deuterocanon" means different things to Catholics vs Eastern Orthodox.

It's not that this API is "missing the Deuterocanon". This API was likely made by protestants.

The two English translations provided by the API are not approved by the Catholic church.

When I search Google for "Bible", the top two results, bible.com and biblegateway also don't include those additional books.

There is a big difference between murdering someone and detaining someone for a day if a trained professional believes there is a high risk of suicide.

> if applied carelessly, it can also make certain layouts ambiguous. For example, a text-only button with no background would look exactly same as a window title. To prevent that, we only remove background from buttons that we can be confident won’t look confusing without it — for example, buttons containing a single icon.

The blockchain allows me to cryptographically prove that I knew some information at a certain time.

If I was the first person to record that I knew this information, that's a pretty good proxy to proof that I created it. That makes me the author, artist, or inventor of this information.

If other people find this information valuable, then they might want to pay me because I released this information. Because I was the first person to sign the information on the blockchain, they know the right person to pay.

So the blockchain provides a way of tracking the author of information, which is not controlled by any company or government.

Discussions like this are fuzzy because no one here has defined "good".

I guess part of the reason a speech encouraging people to be a "force for good" is inspiring is that it challenges each person to examine what they themself think is good.

The part about "doing something that matters" is also important. What matters?

People want to actualize themselves, to reach their potential.

People want to enable other people to reach their potential.

You are being very unkind.

If you read the fact sheet which comes with the Pfizer vaccine, it says things like,

"There is no FDA approved vaccine to prevent COVID-19"

and

"This is an unapproved vaccine"

This was written by Pfizer, May 10, 2021

Can you be more specific about what the social problem is? Do you know of anyone who is working to solve it?

I sometimes wonder if something like this has happened with money.

You are definitely not a complete failure in life! That is an absolute lie. Don't say things like that to yourself.

Realize that you are actually not yet a fully grown adult. You are transitioning into adulthood, and that can be hard.

Society is a little messed up and is not supporting you as well as it should. But there is abundance and society will support you if you tap into it in the right way.

Just based off what you've written here, I can tell that you're smart and are a good communicator and writer.

Be brave. Don't be bitter. Don't burn bridges. Be kind. Realize that you are valuable. Be strong. We're rooting for you!

That's pretty mean for hacker news. I think you've broken the rules.

I've noticed a pattern that attacks against Assange supporters are tolerated here.

Not to mention the fact that he's not been found guilty by a court but has been locked up for years.

You can give me the private key to a wallet, but if I'm not connected to the network to see how much money it controls, that's not much good. Even if I trust you temporarily, at some point a network connection is required. Otherwise, it doesn't have anything to do with BTC.

Edit: Additionally, as someone else pointed out, you could have kept your own copy of the key and could empty the wallet before me.

In theory, only the person recieving payment needs a trusted connection to the network. The person sending a payment just needs a device which can cryptographically sign a "check" addressed to the reciever, and then send the "check" to the reciever who can send it to the network and wait for it to be accepted.

You're wrong about BTC transactions happening on physical paper with no connection to the network. It's not possible.

You're wrong about lightening. It costs a fraction of a cent per transaction and is meant for everyday transactions. For very large transactions, it is wiser to use the main BTC network since there is lower risk.

Edit: I'm forbidden to reply but not to edit, so I'll reply to your comment below here.

Reply: Yes. The thing you were wrong about was that lightning is not meant for everyday transactions. It actually is.

I believe internet is required. It doesn't need to be fast or high bandwidth.

An app called "elevate" has some good exercises

The real beauty happens when more than one note is played at the same time. The overlapping harmonics give rise to harmony. Combine various instruments to get all kinds of interesting sounds. This is part of the art of orchestration.

The government shouldn't continue to prop up businesses and systems which are not essential.

Help people who are affected by the disruption, but not outdated systems.
