Not a metaphor, but good try, Shakespeare.
urethrafranklin··on Bitcoin Exchange Had Too Many Bitcoins
Some of us remember way back when the crypto dorks were claiming that bitcoin would be the first unfunny money :)

> And something like 20% of them outsourced part of the projects to developers in South Asia, security risk.

How do you not notice something like that happening on your end? So many of the problems cited by anti-remote bosses are not problems of remoteness at all. Sound like management was very checked-out.

Fuck prison, we need to bring the guillotine back.

urethrafranklin··on 110 N.F.L. Brains
You're welcome to your opinion but I find it un-goddamned-American. This country was built on the ability to do risky things for a chance at a payout!

I've been homeless, and you don't know what you're talking about.
urethrafranklin··on Pseudo-public space in London
What about that man's picture says "homeless" to you, please?

The property owner is at least partly culpable, wouldn't you think?
urethrafranklin··on Buying time promotes happiness
Love it. The self-defeatist rationalization of the utterly housebroken. "At least I have plumbing", he mews as he faithfully gives half of his profits to his master.
urethrafranklin··on Esperanto as an Asian language
They aren't wholly discrete, or you wouldn't have groups like m/n or b/p/f/v trading places.
urethrafranklin··on Host your own contacts and calendars and share them across devices
How feasible would running a mailing list (say 10k subs, one email/week) be off your setup?
urethrafranklin··on In Urban China, Cash Is Rapidly Becoming Obsolete
You're quite wrong. It's happened to me.
urethrafranklin··on In Urban China, Cash Is Rapidly Becoming Obsolete
That's not at all what you were talking about earlier. If you can't understand the difference, it's not worth explaining anything to you.

His public statements would indicate otherwise.

You must be a very scared person then.
urethrafranklin··on In Urban China, Cash Is Rapidly Becoming Obsolete
Yes, I read that article too. I already told you why it doesn't apply.
urethrafranklin··on CoinDash’s ICO Website Has Been Hacked
You have access to banks, you just choose not to use them. And you have a government identity and a credit history that you used to obtain your credit card. You aren't remotely close to the hypothetical character the OP described.

If someone can MITM your download, in many scenarios they could MITM twitter as well.

A sucker is born every minute.

Banks are not allowed to freeze your account arbitrarily. And don't pretend that the IRS won't figure out how to seize bitcoin. And, if you do get wire frauded (which crypto dorks all seem to be irrationally concerned about for some reason) you have insurance and recourse to quickly get it corrected (unlike buttcoin). So don't spread FUD.

Show me one instance of an underbanked person who achieved a line of credit thanks to cryptocurrency. Just one, please.

That's right, they don't exist, and this argument is bullshit.

Actually, `bundle exec` is way easier to use than virtualenv.
urethrafranklin··on In Urban China, Cash Is Rapidly Becoming Obsolete
Cash is already somewhat traceable (what did you think it was numbered for?) and it's illegal to buy some things anonymously, so it's really strange that you believe these things.

Even if that were true (I could write a book about how wrong this is), this isn't something retailers can compete on. If I get 2 extra cents, why would I give it back to the consumer, if my competitor could just do the same (and now both my competitor and I have lost those 2 cents)?
urethrafranklin··on In Urban China, Cash Is Rapidly Becoming Obsolete
Actually neither London Underground nor MTA are technically state run.
urethrafranklin··on In Urban China, Cash Is Rapidly Becoming Obsolete
Actually this is a terrifying prospect. I can just imagine being arrested because the ID network is down. You people need to watch Black Mirror.
