piracy1··on AAA survey finds 86% of drivers afraid to ride in automated vehicles
> It's a feature that is not available, if u try to turn on self driving in city streets it tells u no.

I think it's more fundamental. I trust a computer more to react quickly to something unexpected than I trust myself to. Maybe I'm biased because I spend all day programming and poking at computers and almost none of it driving.

Yeah, I do think it's vaporware forever or at least a few years, but who knows.

I want to support businesses accepting BTC directly. Also, it's a good meme, buying a self driving car with magic internet money, it being a meme like that and sorta being a piece of the bit of history I care about is the only reason I feel like spending 50k+ on a car. I have an old ass car it works fine.

I wonder if it's an age thing. I'm 20, I have quite little fear and I think most of my peers feel the same way. I'm planning to buy a Tesla the second they let me buy one with bitcoin and I 100% plan to daily drive autopilot on city streets when it's ready, I really can't picture any of my friends being like wtf turn that shit off.

Edit: Disregard, I thought it was self driving related not full robotaxi that shit is spooky. I'd do it but I'd let other ppl do it for a few months first.

piracy1··on I heat my home by mining crypto currencies
net useful minus externalities. Sure
piracy1··on Nvidia Estimates $100-$300M in Q4 Revenue from Miners
Kinda underwhelming for a massive chipmaker tbh
piracy1··on Bitcoin: The Idea That Eats Smart People
Oh, well that's kinda the whole point, it has real value beyond the whims of a centralized body, you can't do that, save for a rainy day.
piracy1··on Bitcoin: The Idea That Eats Smart People
> Another thing I wonder with bitcoin in particular is if everyone had bitcoin and no other currency, and something like COVID happened, what entity would provide liquidity in order to help those affected by a disaster?

What? It's not specific to the way you transact. Governments are providing liquidity, if the whole world used crypto they would do payouts the same way just in crypto. Perhaps I misunderstand the question.

piracy1··on Bitfinex, the Italian network behind the boss that makes Bitcoin tremble
Oh, this is perfect, I'm going to do this with 100k. Also, yeah it is shorting, but it's honestly less convoluted than how I have to do it on Kraken. + I get profits off staking.

Edit, did it with $500 as a test, I am arbitraging 0.5% as I took the tether I borrowed, turned it. into USDC and staked it. I am getting paid 0.5% to short Tether :O

piracy1··on Bitfinex, the Italian network behind the boss that makes Bitcoin tremble
This. If you short Tether, you already got paid.

I consider personal enrichment as a sort of useful work as it stands to replace my own 'useful work'
piracy1··on Bitfinex, the Italian network behind the boss that makes Bitcoin tremble
> Even the CME contract becomes sketchy when you’re talking about a meltdown at this scale

CME has Tether?

piracy1··on Bitfinex, the Italian network behind the boss that makes Bitcoin tremble
Me too. I'm looking into shorting it on Kraken but I am not quite sure how it would work because it would be delisted before it went to 0 possibly and I am not quite sure how that would work.
piracy1··on How to Kill a Unicorn
I'd think mostly that you could make free too good and everyone just uses that. But if everyone is using ur app, then you have a userbase and you could start monetizing them.
piracy1··on Intel leak: 20GB of source code, chipset design and Intel Management Engine (ME)
If you see xyz magic string, take the next 1000 bytes and execute them.
piracy1··on Intel leak: 20GB of source code, chipset design and Intel Management Engine (ME)
So that leads me to wonder, were the Intel ME conspiracy govware theories true?
piracy1··on Visa May Add Cryptocurrencies to Its Payments Network, Says CEO
Do they have any greater claim to being mad though? It makes you see it more clearly but I do not think it makes it worse. Besides, for most people they just were not alive when it was possible to claim land and nobody left them any. You could have seen crypto you just didn't, in most cases. I think that makes people more mad but once again I do not think it makes it more unjust, just the opposite.
piracy1··on Visa May Add Cryptocurrencies to Its Payments Network, Says CEO
Thanks :)
piracy1··on Visa May Add Cryptocurrencies to Its Payments Network, Says CEO
Isn't that true of everything? If you were an early adopter of America you could get free land that today could be worth hundreds of millions.
piracy1··on Psychedelics as Antidepressants
I assume not as SSRIs will make LSD/Psycilocybin not work. MAOIs will maybe make you die. So not a lot of testing ground there.
piracy1··on Robinhood is limiting purchases of stocks: AMC, Blackberry, Nokia, and GameStop
Weather or not Melvin has the position, you can look at the borrow rates and short interest. Someone is balls deep in shorts and they have to cover one of these days.
piracy1··on Gabe Newell on brain-computer interface technology
Gabe was like, Oh, you want half life? Oh, you'll get it, don't worry.
piracy1··on Oxford/AZ vaccine leak: Germany expects only 8% efficacy in ages 65+
Often times there is a strict timeline for results and when they're processed and released to the world, I assume leak means someone just kinda went around the regular and pretty slow channels of reporting this info. Perhaps this info would be published when the trial is done in a month or however long.
piracy1··on FBI investigating woman who stole laptop from Pelosi's office to sell to Russia
Whoooooooooooo would not want to catch whatever the fuck that charge is
piracy1··on Large Bitcoin payments to right-wing activists a month before Capitol riot
I do not disagree with that.
piracy1··on Large Bitcoin payments to right-wing activists a month before Capitol riot
The title kinda over hypes it. "foreign account" a french programmer, not the GRU. It was some edgy french dude who was some sort of physically ill and gave all his money to similarly edgy ppl who shared his beliefs before killing himself. The title makes it seem like the GRU sent a right wing Militia money or something, maybe they did but they probs used cash.
piracy1··on The password guess worth $240m in Bitcoin
> It sucks that people are learning the hard way of their incredibly secure but unrecoverable methods. It's also a shame that there are probably countless instances of this and so a considerable amount of bitcoin is just totally lost and out of circulation, permanently.

Unless you own a bunch of btc, then it's deflation.

Though yeah, very sad.

piracy1··on CIA Releases UFO Documents
But that's not UFO centric, that's death cult centric.
