Seems like that would have the same problems if you do it while transactions are ongoing.

We’re all deserving of respect as humans. But some people really are better at things than other people. It’s not unbecoming to acknowledge that.

That’s wild. How much did it cost?

FYI, that’s the author you’re talking to.

>people who already volunteer their time for my benefit have to follow my rules when doing so

Ok.

That seems like a distinction without a difference.

Garage, fine. How many car ports have electrical power?

I have JS disabled, and this site says it can’t validate my access to the article.

That was quick.

Static HTML publishing is a solved problem. Don’t reinvent the wheel. Don’t make me run random JS to display plaintext. Don’t justify said random JS with silly whizbang features that no one actually wants.

> Apple does exactly the same but because it doesn't have it's own ad platform this gets sent to their "Approved Partners" who do it on their behalf.

Apple sends my location information to third parties? Citation needed.

Please make your stuff work without JavaScript.

This is a simple text-only web page (in courier new ffs) and it refuses to load with JavaScript disabled. There is no valid reason for this.

Yes, more free shit for everyone is the solution to all of our woes.

It does mean that this is a gross misstatement: “It's black and white in law that student loan debt is dischargeable in bankruptcy”

Since the Brunner test for deciding whether student loan debt is dischargeable is from a 1985 case[0], I don’t think this can be said to have anything to do with either Bush.

The body text is all still there. It’s just being hidden by some piece of JavaScript that reader view ignores.

We, as in the United States? Or we, as in every country in the world but mostly the third world?

The first one would be comparatively easy but would do almost no good. The second one would actually help, if it weren’t impossible, but it is.

Plenty of people have opted out of the horrors of chemotherapy, choosing to die at home in relative comfort.

Jobs didn’t disbelieve medical science. It’s possible to reject a treatment for other reasons.

Why isn’t anyone suing these gurus when their dangerously bad advice kills a family member?

That’s a commonly repeated bit of fake news. Bush did say that, but it unrelated to Iran Air 655. Here’s the actual context:

Raymond Chen has lot of good stories about the lengths Microsoft would go to to ensure old programs still worked.

That’s not what I said. There’s an incentive for them to find Apple vulnerabilities.

... and publicize vulnerabilities in their main competitor.

It seems like a pretty strong argument if the models are this unreliable.

Griefers.

Are there other runways that are so dead-on?

This is wrong and doesn’t even make sense. If there were no reward, blocks would not keep getting mined.

Essentially by market forces. Transactions with too-low fees don’t get added to the chain.

We (somewhat indirectly via the electoral college) select the president. It’s a representative democracy, with one extra layer of indirection.
