You don't need residence in Canada to park your money there... How does residency help you with this?

Pornhub only allows uploads from verified users. You have to upload your ID to the verification service run by yoti.com before you can upload videos.

This has been the case for over a year https://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Pornh...

Also FWIW they also allow non-porn content. For example https://www.pornhub.com/view_video.php?viewkey=ph604a53bb0c9... And as you can see, it gets a plenty of views.

> KYC doesn't work because sex work is largely illegal in most countries or states/provinces.

There are many forms of sex work, usually only specific forms are illegal.

>But Pornhub won't do that because it will cut profits.

Try to upload a video to pornhub right now. Go on.

(Perhaps next time do the tiniest amount of research before throwing around nonsense like this?)

The article doesn't make a huge point of his guilt because it simply isn't relevant.

The problem isn't that Cornelius went to prison. The problem is the way he is being treated, whether or not he is guilty is entirely irrelevant.

> The Economist used to be a decent publication with great journalism, unfortunately that is not the case anymore.

How come? Are you saying that they left something out or twisted the facts?

Just goes to show what a vague evil "money laundering" is. How do the golden visas aid money laundering?

Sure, why not? Who cares? People come to HN specifically because of the censorship.

Some censorship is good, some censorship isn't.

"Some losses". You're essentially advocating for ending all moderation on the internet. No more forums, no more IRC networks, no more facebook groups or subreddits either. I guess that'll also kill or heavily cripple much of multiplayer gaming.

I guess everybody needs to learn to be okay with spam too?

What's the big win here? You can already run your own censorship-free sites without forcing your shit down everybody elses throats. Turns out, most people don't want that.

You understand that you're arguing against the existence of moderated forums like HN, right?

Why do you believe that it should be made impractical for sites like HN to exist?

I think Chris could've just hustled a bit more. Instead of dealing with the official APIs, he could've acquired a few proxies and started scraping twitter via the website or mobile app.

So uh, does this money get returned to Bitfinex now? Is this a huge windfall for them? They've fully redeemed their BFX tokens for whatever that's worth.

There's a ton of money in providing good wallet software. Many people are making a killing by offering good UX, as offering good wallet software puts them in a prime position to offer profit-generating value added services like currency swaps.

>Frankly, the small cost of robustness in contracts should have been factored in from the beginning. It just does not need to be so damn lean and rickety.

It really doesn't seem necessary, more complicated contracts require custom frontends to interact with anyway.

It's 2022, jealousy is fashionable. You're supposed to hate those who have more than you.

This was my first thought. Leave it to businessinsider to not even question where these Dutch people are going to procure their rotten eggs, most of them have never seen one.

Well, the bridge is designed in a way that allows it to be easily and safely dismantled.

The 2017 government promised to not dismantle it anymore, but 2022 government seems to disagree. The important part we're missing are the risk assessments from engineers involved in the project.

As far as I understand from reading the news, the 2017 promise was mostly given because at that time the local government had left the bridge covered in scaffolding for an excessively long time.

> against bezos who ordered a far too large yacht against the shipyards recommendations (if that happened)

Lets be realistic, it's super unlikely that the shipyard would've ever brought this up with Bezos directly.

It's not normal to be sent into a rage by things like these. It would be normal to be annoyed, upset, frustrated. I'm still not concern trolling, just questioning your choice of words.

"Enraged" implies extreme uncontrollable anger, being sent into a rage, you think of something like The Big Lebowski car smashing scene https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0kfe5tkdD4

There are definitely situations where it's normal for someone to become enraged, but they're few and far between.

Had you actually bought a Tesla and felt seriously fucked over by your dealer, such uncontrollable anger might actually be a normal reaction. But when you're just a third party considering that others might get screwed like that, it would certainly be an overreaction.

E: I should apologize, I think my comments have been too easy to misinterpret. I originally intended to make a silly joke to poke fun at your misuse of one of the strongest words we have to express anger in the English language, but it just came across as mean instead of funny.

I'm sorry.

"Upset" and "enraged" mean very different things.

The idea that Rogan could "legitimize" anything is hilarious. He brings people like Alex Jones on his show, it's incredibly obvious that you shouldn't take everything you hear on the show seriously.

Oh no, I'm not concerned about smt88. I'm just making a friendly observation.

It's normal to be annoyed by something like this, but not to be put into a rage.

That's completely different. "Enraged" is a strong word, you'd expect someone who is "enraged" to be extremely angry, turning red and almost throwing things around.

It's not normal for a third party to get so upset over other peoples cars. Angry? Sure. Vexed? Why not. Annoyed? Absolutely. Enraged? Probably not. Incandescent? Nah.

>Please spare the armchair analysis. It weakens your argument and is off-topic for HN. If you can't make your point without calling me mentally ill, you don't have a good point.

No, seriously. Healthy people are not "enraged" by things like these. I'm not trying to attack you, this isn't a criticism.

If you're enraged by some Tesla bullshit, what about all of the other significantly worse things in this world? It can't be nice to live like that, being constantly enraged and all.

>I am enraged by Tesla's disregard for other drivers, shoddy build quality, blatant lies (ex: FSD labeling and failure to deliver), and toxic online fanbase. I think it's very reasonable for other people to be too.

Do you own a Tesla? Did you personally get scammed by them?

If not, it's deeply unhealthy for you to be enraged by something that doesn't even directly involve you.

It would only be odd if this arrangement was somehow unusual, but it isn't. The bridge was designed to do this.

It would've been unusual for local authorities to not work with the shipbuilder.

Municipality fails to sabotage local shipbuilding industry in order to spite foreign billionaire?

Doesn't seem excessive or unusual, stuff like this is normal anywhere where companies build big things.

This really doesn't line up with the reality of how most people are congregating around user friendly wallet software and steering away from the more advanced options.

You only one need one wallet software to be the official WETH-approved client, sucks for anyone else risking their money with unsupported software.

I agree with you big time. This is hopefully something we'll see addressed by smart contract platforms in the coming years or decades.

Clearly Ethereum is far from a ready product, but I think we can expect to see massive improvements when proof of stake goes live this year.

>You feel all client software will be suitable?

Of course not. There will be more advanced software for expert users that allows them to manually create potentially riskier transactions. That's perfectly fine.

Client software targeting end-users should have such checks.
