I'm not sure what you mean with serious in this context? Do you mean invested?

I'm not really into sharing this info either, but I find it refreshing to see what my friends far away are currently doing and often use it as a possibility to connect with them.

For me to understand Instagram stories, it's important to kinda understand the Instagram culture. Normal posts (not stories) are pretty "high-effort" (in terms of shooting and editing) and are posted not so often, maybe every two days at max for your average teen. This left a gap for short-lived stuff (I'm currently eating in this 5* restaurant, I'm currently hiking, I'm on this "cool" party etc.) you wanted to share to a large group of your "friends" (so DM like whatsapp is not a real option because it feels attention-whoring to write it to everyone).

This was mostly filled by Snapchat stories, where you could share exactly that without having to fear to spam people because it's time-limited, everyone does it and it's a very casual format. This feature was basically copied by instagram and is a success for the same reasons, expect nobody uses snapchat stories anymore.

Source: I have young siblings and I kinda use that stuff as well, although not that much.

It's helpful in web development, it allows you to target specific browser versions. For example if I use a new feature on my website which is only supported by recent browser versions, I can inform the user about the incompatibility and prevent complains.

I also don't think Google needs that info, there's a million things to criticize them for but this is a bit silly.

Yeah I thought the same, looked like he decided to delete the about page but forgot to delete the references: https://github.com/awakened1712/awakened1712.github.io/commi...

> Did anything happen with Voat, though?

Voat is very small luckily, that may be the reason why you're hearing so few of it. If you visit the frontpage, it's full of jewish conspiracies and "gas the jews", as expected.

If a single law makes you switch countries you should overthink that decision. It's a bad law for sure, I even joined a demonstration against it, but it's like totally on a different scale than censorship in the Iran. Please inform yourself before making such statements.

I think you misunderstood that bit, see this comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19491551

From the the article in OP:

There was no such thing as a European Union in WWI and II, which the discussion is about. That's why I don't understand how your comment is relevant here.

Where do you get the information from that it is proprietary? As far as I see it it's licensed under BSD3-Clause [0] which is a OSS license, despite being more permissive.

Nice, it's especially notable for loud noise (which otherwise triggers voice activation) while not talking

Not allowed and easily detectable

For what?

Yeah it seems like this guy doesn't even know how the EU works. If you reduce it to "they regulate cucumbers but don't care about real threats" you probably fell for some cheap propaganda but it doesn't speak for your understanding of EU regulations.

It certainly was be-littling him. You may be right, but especially on such a sensible topic it's all about how you write it.

> he supports the EU's efforts to take away Hungary's voting rights (i.e. making it formally a vassal state of the EU with no power in it at all)

Do you have a source for that claim? I am member of the EU as well and wonder that I never heard that claim before. It sounds exaggerated to be blunt.

> There are new decentralized protocols being launched every ~day now

That may be true, but why does it matter if there's no adoption? As the guy you replied to pointed out, there's no incentive to use a decentralized system for the average user as it's more inefficient and slower by design.

I'm not saying that I'm not interested in decentralized systems, I'm simply arguing that there's no incentive to use them except for a few people whose interest in privacy is very high.

This is a pretty generic statement and sounds like EU bashing without a good base. There are many things to critize the EU for, but calling them out for not intervening on a (discussable) law, that a single country has just pushed through is definitely not one of its weaknesses.

> We killed millions of people, not even a hundred years ago, but now we're the paragons of virtue?

I don't see how this was relevant in any way to the discussion. What happened 100 years ago should of course be considered in discussions and in the law-making process today and it should not be forgotten, so that it will not repeat. But it isn't fair to still judge people born in a country where some of their grand(grand)parents did bad things.

Even if one would assume that there's a dollar hyperinflation, Bitcoin as a alternative is certainly the worst alternative as it is much more volatile than any real world currency.

This is true, but you can view it as effectively stopped if you get only a very small reward.

This is especially interesting because the number of generated coins is not totally depended on the value (in USD) of bitcoin. This means that you could get a converted reward of just a few dollars in a few decades.

Either fees have to rise or Bitcoin will be much unsafer by then.

> Each mined block have limited bitcoins in reward

This is true, but the value of bitcoin is not limited. If more people buy bitcoins, it's value (compared to USD) rises and so will the reward if converted to USD. Because you pay the mining costs in a real currency like USD, the total mining expenses are definitely not capped.

One theory for what happens when the reward drops (i.e. no new bitcoins are rewareded anymore) is that the already high fees will further increase. If that is not the case, the competition will lower and Bitcoin will become unsafer because it is backed by less mining power.
