Judging from the photos used on the libra.org website they're targeting a very different audience.

Flying too high my man.

Welcome to the culture war.

Interesting to observe how stating facts gets you downvoted.

How weird is it that this needs pointing out.

Fair enough.

Do you not see the problem with a monopoly deciding what is and isn't okay to say?

You're comparing people who comment on websites to nazis? Did you not get the memo about the media calling everyone they don't like a nazi - including Pewdiepie?

Do you really think these companies have YOUR best interest at heart instead of just siding with the political views of their shareholders?

Censorship will be their downfall :)

What you're saying makes sense.

On the other hand, what are your thoughts about the relation between the type of foods we eat and dental health?

My understanding is that sugar, and (complex?) carbs in general have a massive toll on teeth. Admittedly I'm no expert, but it would seem that eating the food we evolved to eat (vegetables and meat mainly) should not damage our teeth in a significant and therefore would be no need for dental health practices.

Whether or not that is feasible on a population level is another question, but I'm fairly convinced at this point that the garbage food is wrecking our health and that includes teeth.

You're right and I appreciate your comment. You probably noticed taking responsibility is extremely unpopular nowadays in all aspects of life, most noticeable in politics probably.

Haha nice! I totally agree! :)

I think in the context of making business decisions you are absolutely right.

All I'm saying is that the benefits of an idea that has the potential to disrupt banking are much greater IMO than the cost of ironing out faults (that are sometimes exaggerated as in this case).

I'm not saying there aren't valid cons to it or that we should ignore them from a practical standpoint. We need to know what they are to fix them.

I just noticed that people are quick to dismiss something because it's not perfect and that sort of mindset is counterproductive.

Thanks for taking the time to point this out, especially since you're swimming upstream.

> I think a more intellectually interesting debate to have is whether or not Bitcoin is useful to society

Exactly.

Agree, point still stands though. There's pros and cons to everything. Why focus on the latter?

Funny and sad to see how, instead of seeing opportunities, the forum with the most open minded tech people will rather go with "SHUT IT DOWN"

People in this thread don't seem to get this goes both ways.

Dear Hackernews, you are arguing with others who think banning people for different opinions is fine, but also downvoting and flagging them at the same time.

Nothing to see here :)

It's flagged now...

He's not complaining and again, it's not that he deservers to be able to talk, it's that people deserve to hear anything that is out there.

You missed it. Doesn't matter how wrong he might be, people need to see what everyone has to say. It's not for him, it's for others.

Case in point though: People need to be able to communicate, so don't downvote him.

Never vacuumed a keyboard and wipe every 5 years or so :)

I'm sure you're joking. Information is not a consumable, it doesn't get used up in the process.

Was gonna post this as well, it's by no means an exaggeration.

You are arguing from theory. That's not how people work. YOU might work this way, but that doesn't mean this applies to people in general.

If you make something addictive, people still hold personal responsibility and can decide to quit, HOWEVER the majority of people will still find it hard to do so and therein lies the issue.

I honestly wonder why do you feel the need to defend a business worth 138 billion with more than 2.23 billion monthly active users, 210 million in the U.S. alone.

Isn't it obvious that they are not just ANY business like a mom and pop store, they are THE place where public discourse is happening with a massive influence on culture, society and politics.

Yet people feel the need to jump in and defend their right to do whatever they want, because laws we came up with when people were selling bread did not mention anything about global corporations who control elections.

It's not just you, we're just half-assing both.

Absolutely nothing to do with whitespace and everything to do with a broken UX workflow.

From my limited experience it seems the game is less about "predicting" price - which seems to be impossible, and more about placing strategic bets that will give you a positive return over a long period of time.

Or hire colorblind UI designers like myself

Not sure how long it's been there, but found this in Inspectlet's terms of service:

I agree that sensitive data should be handled much better, but - at least in a webapp - they don't capture screenshots, they just only capture mouse movements, clicks and scrolling and then rerender that on the html.

That's a separate discussion.

Individuals have all their obligations deducted and we can spend the rest.

Companies spend first and pay obligations on the remaining.
