By the way, I don't have the depth of experience or team to build something like this in a way that I would feel happy with, so feel free to please use this idea if you think it is good.

Note from the about page: "We are not a registered charity, in the sense that we do not issue tax deductible receipts. " Seems still worthwhile to raise awareness.

Although bitcoin could be used for some bad things, but also there are some (501c) charities that accept bitcoin too, - give directly - redcross (used to at least) - water project - .. (there are at least two others but I forget) So hypothe

This is commonly called 'attempting to saving someones butt with a reasonable explanation, rather than trying to make a quick buck / whatever to their detriment.'

With the level of tech commonly posted on this website (and in general), there seem to be many suprising dangers that the average lurker is not going to know about that the experienced developer / whatever will know about. It seems be

I wouldn't be suprised if entire countries raised similar 'scape-goat types as sort of 'bat-man' practice for rich aholes with nothing to do.

Assuming interoperability to be a good thing, then, coding something like a c# translation of this is a stimulating and useful intellectual exercise relative to like reading a book or solving a prescribed math problem. Assuming coding probl

I'm not sure if you are joking, but it does seem that more interoperability is usually a good thing.. (especially for something like a jpeg decoder - maybe it's less useful to have a toaster interface smoothly with some coffee bea

Ah, well the reply was stated somewhat jokingly, but something along the lines of: if you are investing in a lot other peoples ideas / projects, it sort of implies you are not stingy (sp?) with money / afraid to take a risk with y

Well I guess the 'afaik' in my answer was wrong in this case, it was based on recollection of the last time I held a nature in my hand, and a comparison with a sort of definition as listed here: https://www.library.geor

Afaik nature has good stuff, but it's not like a 'research journal' it's more popular stuff. A quote from the article: "There are only a handful of studies out there that have already attempted to look at this, and

Ohhh. Ok Totally forgot about that. Actually I partly sold it so I don't have to worry about the account as I was sort of 'pruning' my password manager. Also partly because, I commented a while ago that I think it's a bi

After previously stating on here that I would hold my 5$ of bitcoin forever, I sadly decided to sell them a couple of weeks ago. I'm sure I will regret this some day. Sorry for messing with you guys.

Perhaps we can start with reflecting our societal beliefs w'r't' this stuff via our media to reinforce peoples logical deductions of how to act in these areas. E.g. I think a friend showed me one of the 'revenge of the n

I hesitate to post a slight disagreement here because I think, for the most part, Obama is right on the money. However, I would hesitate to just put the problem on 'just' social media itself - if person A posts a message that says

Here is a more interesting question imho: Assuming we are in a simulation, how does a person make sure that their thoughts are 'really their own' and not sort of programmed in. E.g. How does a person make sure that they are not a

It kind of feels like someone made a fairly well-intentioned simulation, and then some other people came along and hacked it for their own benefit, taking away a large part of the value proposition, and leaving a mildly shitty simulation fo
