This. Gonna be grand when he faked his death and paid off a couple prison guards 10+ BTC to escape and shows up elsewhere in a year or two. One can hope, anyway. Plus, he had to get out of eating his own dick.
Not spoken about here is the fact that Lazarus __did__ make off with well over a billion dollars in funds by hacking numerous cryptocurrency exchanges around Asia and got away with it, too.
Oh, and this is just KuCoin they're talking about here. They stole well over $3 billion more from several other exchanges in 2017-2018. All the exchange hacks back then on the various Asian exchanges are attributed to them. Really likely they made off with upward of $5 billion in today's terms of all sorts of altcoins.
The caveat there is definitely whether the person then has the entrepreneurial drive to get the trade qualifications and start their own business with it. You're not going to be wealthy by any means of the definition by either becoming a plumber or an electrician working for another company. No way in hell, I know many of these people, as well as many carpenters both working their own business, or working for another company. I know one neighbor carpenter who owns his own carpentry/cabinetry business doing just well enough for himself, while another neighbor frames really nice houses and doesn't make nearly as much but does much harder work.
Then, I have a couple good examples of some guys with absolutely no education whatsoever who decided to start their own cleaning services by powerwashing restaurant kitchens, doing deep cleaning. These guys doing this cleaning gig the past few years are raking in $1k cash per night, 6-7 nights a week and making more cash hand over fist than a doctor makes. It's obvious to see what is the real underlying factor in all cases. Drive, motivation, and a go-getter attitude is what it takes. Plenty of people with degrees work at coffee shops and retail positions because after schooling, they expected a job to just drop in their laps but they have no go get it attitude from the start.
I guess I should be so fortunate that I've been working from home since the end of February 2020 and that all we use is Microsoft Teams for audio-only calls. We have never done video calls and I cannot imagine why anyone would stand for that shit.
All marketing is a scam to sell something. The only cryptocurrency that exists is Bitcoin. All else below it, including Ethereum are scams. They are not decentralized, and anything using Proof of Stake is just as bad as a fiat currency. Every banker here commenting as usual about how Bitcoin is boiling the oceans and only for criminals will feel free to censor me and downvote my post but should also realize they are a fake individual who parrots for an oppressive state. There is no future without Bitcoin. The US is now at 5% inflation and rising. Keep saving those paper IOU's and we'll talk again in a few years.
They are using Zap/Strike (Lightning) and zero fees.
The phony "fees are $1,000 a tx line" and $10 hyperbole simply show you have no clue what you're talking about when speaking about Bitcoin. Even on chain the past solid week you could send free BTC transactions, or for a couple of cents.
"Working our butts off" for the future hope of a payoff after retirement and after our bodies have lost all our vitality is as big a scam as all religions. It keeps the coffers lined, keeps people head down, and it's nothing but a lie. All people should be able to live free of slavery and not be duped into believing all this office work 50 hours a week ends in some magical, mystical payoff. It doesn't. I've known a TON of people who died right after retirement, and who can't do anything they wanted to do after retirement as they're too damn worn down. The entire working for another company to make them profits in return for a paltry little barely livable wage, is a scam.
It's a similar premise in the fact that each of these systems, whether it be religion, political ideology, or a cult personality all require mindless and low IQ followers to work.
Abolish those as well, as the nationalism is also a crock of zealot-religious bs. In America, we have lost religion and instead many now feel the need to jump into identity politics. This mentality is disgusting and very small minded tribalism. It's inherent in human nature and we still share so much of that earlier hominid brain.
I've planted a large variety of vegetables and clovers, buckwheat and things that wasps and bees love for several years. In the last two years of crop alone, I had absolutely no horn worms on any of my tomatoes or related Solanaceae family, no white moths able to lay eggs and destroy my kale, broccolis, or other greens and this is something if you're familiar with farming is unheard of without pesticides. I welcome so many yellow jackets and red wasps, hornets into our backyard that they just annihilate all those pests. The only thing I've had a tiny issue with is clusters of aphids in my tomatoes late season and I can just spray them down with a mild nicotine tea or mint family oils. If you get the ecosystem into balance, there is no need for chemical pesticides. Needing them is a sign of a total out of whack ecosystem in the first place. Mid summer season, it's fun to just sit back and watch 4-5 yellow jackets climbing up and down heirloom kale plants hunting. Without them, the kale would just about be leaf veins left propped up on stalks, as the greedy little worms will absolutely destroy all the leaf if left to their own devices. Don't spray wasps! They are just as crucial as honey bees.
These platforms have had very large societal effects both through the spreading of misinformation with things like QAnon, and from the censorship on information pertaining to elections, and this entire pandemic. It is hard to say what to do for those that so gullible as to believe everything they read or hear.
While I do agree with you and find it odd that no high quality photos ever surface and things are typically just hearsay, I also understand that even these newer iPhones and Android cameras take pretty crappy night photos and especially if you were trying to snap a picture quickly of a moving object in very low lighting.
Wear a gardening/fishing type hat, wear long sleeve shirts that are cool breathing, and wear jeans/pants throughout the summer. I was out gardening for 7 hours straight this past Sunday in 86 degree weather with high UV index and by wearing the type of clothing to cover your skin you'll be able to stay out for hours without burning. Also you'll of course want to take measured breaks and cool downs. Look at how people have to dress in middle-Eastern countries for a reference point. Keep most the skin covered. This way, you may only need to apply any sunscreen to the tops of the hands/fingers.
You can get throat cancer from simply drinking hot water daily for extended periods of time. In which case, water itself is the carcinogen with applied heat. Same with drinking way too hot of coffee for extended years. The dose makes the poison, and nearly everything (including water, a solvent itself) can become a carcinogen.
Eh, well while I agree, he's far better than Bezos, Musk, or Zuckerberg COMBINED, and look at all the idolatry those guys receive.
Purely in terms of a programmer. Things he's created.
Everyone should be able to have heroes. You don't need to necessarily elevate them to the level of Gods, but John is very readily a video game real life hero.
Something tells me you just like to go on tangents nobody was talking about here. Never once, have I ever said that "Bitcoin is two orders of magnitude less efficient than banks."
That's where it stops, because what you've said is nonsense.
And when the comparison is not even close, why are you the one making it? All you've stated was an old opinion and not a fact about what is more useful, or how they are used. It's totally fine for you to have just said "I don't understand either banking or Bitcoin whatsoever." Bitcoin is going to get a lot more global over the next several years in it's use cases and for savings. I hope to see you commenting later on after becoming more informed about our current times of inflation and what the people want, vs what is forced on everyone so that they have no way to save hard money. The revolution isn't going to wait for everyone who chooses to be truly ignorant about Bitcoin. And there is only Bitcoin.
In the long run, it's going to be very green. There are Crypto Climate Accord groups working to ensure Bitcoin is carbon-neutral by 2030. What is being done currently is making leaps and bounds in using solar, hydro, wind and trapped energy for bitcoin mining. It's pushing industry to green. Not the phony narrative that's constantly pushed by people who are quite literally, spreading allowed disinformation across HackerNews for the past several years on end.
Again with this same tired nonsense on Hacker News. Famous for censoring worthwhile comments to death while leaving up misinformed "curious" posts that mislead everyone. Bitcoin is using half of the power as banking systems. Bitcoin is using half of the power, of the gold industry. Might I suggest, if you think you can suggest banning things for using too much carbon, that you first quit working, quit driving your vehicles, and disconnect the power in your house. I don't think it's good for the environment in you doing so. In fact, your carbon consumption should be banned. Turn your computers off. Unplug your wasteful device chargers, you've had enough.
The article title and within the article clearly state "60x faster charge" which still means a hypothetical 315 miles of range until which point they also claim "60x more battery capacity."
Matwood - This post speaks to how we often look at the 90s with rose-colored lenses and often see the computers as better. As much as I'm a collector of older machines and the tech of the era, I can also admit that things were more simplistic, slow, and with plenty of barrier-to-entry. Simple example, the first iPhone did not even have video capability. Right before the 2008 release, nobody was walking around with a video camera in their pocket. You'd had to have carried around a clunky and very expensive camcorder and nobody was just taking videos, anywhere, on a short whim. Even cameras just a few years before that were just terrible. Nostalgia all that we will, the tech was terrible. ASCII warez, and all that stuff was awesome. BBS was awesome, but there is just far more for kids today than what we had.
As a commenter on the article stated and summed up better than I've seen here in these comments (maybe Sam is one of you here) a native doesn't at all mean that it's someone who knows the ins and outs of today's modern computers. A native is simply someone born right into using. These kids may not know anything about how their phone chips work, or how their school laptops work, but they had cheap computers in their pocket and laptops in school where us older generations didn't have any of this stuff growing up. Digital native meaning that they are born into it and everyone is using it. This has nothing to do at all with being born in the 1970s, and having used computers as the odd guy out in the mid 1980's. That's cool and all, but nothing to do with what makes a digital native.
Exactly. If you used the internet from the beginning you clearly saw how Facebook is a data harvesting scam. By late 2010 I'd chatted with several engineers at Facebook about how they were clearly storing all chats/messages indefinitely, even if you deleted your PMs. So to the dude up there downvoting me, yes, many of us in tech knew this very early on. It was literally the goal of Facebook from the time you ever heard about Facebook.
