Great, thank you

Is a reentry permit a document that can be obtained by filing the I-131 form, or how can one obtain such a permit?

Could you spell out what "2 years at a stretch and generally up to 5 total without issue" means for non-native speakers?

How long can a green card holder stay outside of the US without loosing the green card? What roles do forms I-131 and N-470 play? Many thanks!

I agree, this is super cool but it's not 100% peer to peer as WebRTC requires a central server to establish the connection as far as I know.

I pay all salaries in Bitcoin. Way faster, cheaper, easier than fiat.

1) Can you point to negative implications of nuclear waste? Anyone that got hurt or harmed in Germany for example?

2) If it's too expensive it will not happen, no need for the government to step in.

3) Have a look at the link, some renewables like Biomass emit a lot of C02, all energy sources are trade offs

Finally. Opposition to nuclear is beyond unreasonable. https://ourworldindata.org/safest-sources-of-energy

What can users do to get certainty over which one is the correct fork? In POW you can check the POW. Is there a trustless solution for this in POS? Or is the only solution essentially to ask around and hope that people aren't lying to you?

Did you know that most likely nobody died from radiation after Fukushima? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fukushima_Daiichi_nuclear_disa...

France is produces 75% of its energy with nuclear. https://world-nuclear.org/information-library/country-profil...

A German produces almost twice as much CO2 as a Frenchmen. https://www.worldometers.info/co2-emissions/co2-emissions-pe...

There is no dispute about the safety of nuclear. We have statistics going back decades. https://ourworldindata.org/safest-sources-of-energy#:~:text=....

> Want to guess where most fuel rods came from? (spoiler: Russia)

Can you back that up? To me it looks like only 5% of uranium is in Russia (https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/uranium-p...)

> They wouldn't have saved much, if any, gas burning

Compare to coal (that seems to be the tradeoff in Germany) nuclear energy kills 820x more people per produced energy unit. 820x the number of human lives lost.

C02 emissions are about 250x higher https://ourworldindata.org/safest-sources-of-energy#:~:text=....

I wasn't summarizing the article, I was providing a source for my statement.

It's irrational that Germany is shutting down secure and climate friendly power plants while Europe is in the midst of an energy crises and a war.

The reason for the irrationality is that Germans (I'm one) do not want to admit that they've been wrong about nuclear energy for decades.

Two days ago the German government voted to to shut off the three remaining nuclear power plants. https://www.faz.net/aktuell/wirtschaft/klima-nachhaltigkeit/...

I love the fact that this language has a short and readable interpreter. However pure functional languages are hard to use for many programmers. I've been looking for a language with a short and readable interpreter that supports some minimal form of object orientation. Something like a mini OCaml. Does someone know of such a language?

Germany's phasing out of nuclear after Fukushima costs $12 Billions and 1,100 lives every year. https://www.nber.org/system/files/working_papers/w26598/w265...

For comparison, 1 person died from radiation exposure after Fukushima. https://ourworldindata.org/what-was-the-death-toll-from-cher...

A small group of well meaning "activists" have cost many lives bc they did not look at the data.

This is why apps should be built on blockchains

Where the legal money use case really shines is in micro transactions. If the amount you want to send is really low it makes a difference if your fee is 30 cents on paypal vs a fraction of a cent with bch, bsv, or ltc. The problem is that it is very hard to monetize apps with micropayments: you need a massive user base because you only earn a fraction of each micropayment. It is hard to convince a massive user base to go through the hassle of obtaining Bitcoin.

I do not want to discourage the use of Bitcoin for that, I think there will be awesome businesses built on micropayments and payments in general. I just want to point out that there is an opportunity to use Bitcoin to make application development faster and cheaper.

Since the original post is about Bitcoin I wanted to point out that you can do these things on Bitcoin now. Of course this can be done on Ethereum as well.

The money use case is cool, but only really that helpful if you want to evade the law. A much broader use case is building applications. This will not work for all apps (eg social networks that produce massive amounts of data), but many apps in the business world (eg accounting systems) do not produce a lot of data.

The advantages are that it will be easier to build apps this way because no outside server is needed. This is great for prototyping and bootstrapping. Apps built on Bitcoin have other advantages like maintaining data provenance (useful for audit purposes), managing data ownership (who is allowed to update a piece of data), or storing cryptocurrency atomically with data.

Frameworks along these lines are starting to pop up. One example is the Bitcoin Computer (http://bitcoincomputer.io/): It allows you to write an app entirely as frontend code and gives you simple provisions for persisting data on chain with a single line of JS code.

Also from the paper:

Our findings on the estimated revenue from transaction fees are in line with the widespread opinion that participation is economically irrational for the majority of the large routing nodes who currently hold the network together.

You are stating a popular opinion, but it's one that I do not share.

> Most of his proof has been systematically proven to be forged or unverified.

If someone fails to prove A that does not mean that (not A) is true

> You're confusing hate with lack of trust.

You are right, hate is a very strong word that I should not have used in this context.

> It's very much playing itself out in front of you. "Innocent" isn't the same thing as lack of accusation. In the court of public opinion: He's accused of making fraudulent claims. He defends himself. His arguments are shown to be invalid.

I'm really not that interested in what the court of public opinion thinks, I'm more interested in the truth. The truth is that I don't know if he is Satoshi or not, neither do you or anybody else here. Yet everybody is assuming that without question. The word fraud occurs 21 times in this threat, in almost all cases without qualification. I would expect more from the HN community.

I do not understand why everybody is hating the guy so much. Listen to what he sais. He does not want Bitcoin to be used for buying drugs and child pornography. He wants to use it to make companies more accountable towards their users and governments more accountable towards their constituents. What's so terrible about that?

Then there is his claim to be Satoshi. At this point, nobody knows if that is true or not. Yet everybody is acting as if they _knew_ he is a liar and a fraud. That seems to be the justification for hate. What happened to innocent until proven guilty?

My take is: I do not know if he is Satoshi or not. I also do not care. I listen to want he thinks about Bitcoin and I like what I hear.

So what happens if someone post illegal content to this? As it's on the blockchain it cannot ever be deleted. Plus anyone what stores the Ethereum blockchain (for example to mine or run a node) now has illegal content on their hard drive as well. How will this play out?

Love this approach. We need more ai applied to problems in writing code. Like an ai parser that auto corrects errors. Anyone know if something like this exists?

Can someone point to a good resource for best practises in protocol design? Am currently faced with this problem and would like to avoid having to reinvent the wheel...

I'd predict some decentralized service will fill that market need. Anything that works better than craigslist and is hard to take down.

It's not only faster, I also think that the interface is actually much cleaner and focussed (only wish that the "new tweet" link would be sticky).

Same is true for Wikipedia btw. Mobile version is much more readable imo https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_experience https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_experience
