I very much doubt the Trump administrations cares about Uighur Muslims any more than the CCP. Also funny how they need to wait until Trump's last day in office before lobbying any real criticism.

Terrible oversimplification. It's extremely difficult to determine what negative action is motivated by racism and which isn't. If you're not generally at risk of experiencing racism (ie. you are of the majority ethnic group

The point that you're ignoring is that most people working these "entry-level" jobs in fact DO depend on them to cover their living expenses. What you're suggesting is to set those people in a race to the bottom along wi

He has to attack the person because opposing the idea of people making a living wage makes you look like a callous idiot.

"The free market will fix it!" - If we're assuming invoking the Defence Production Act wouldn't work because the machines are too complex to prepare in time, why on earth do you believe the free market would succeed?

Sounds like maybe you should take the hint. It's not "taking sides" to point out that you're glorifying violence if you as the president are threatening to deploy military force against protestors.

You're underestimating the influence CMC has over the space. They determine what exchange volume is legit and what isn't, also what coins are worthy of being listed. At the least, this gives Binance additional stability, at the m

Well, 5 million / 7 billion is 0.000714, or 714 grams. I doubt it takes anywhere near that much to make a needle.

This is bizarre, you start your comment saying that I have no idea what I'm talking about and then go on to agree with everything I wrote.

This is a ridiculous comparison. A proper analogy would be someone with a swastika symbol on their shirt talking to a Jewish person. I think we can all agree that wouldn't go well.

I may be missing something here, but I'm not sure this is quite right. The paper attached describes a scenario where the player A chooses a number between -infinite to infinite. The simulation uses ranges -1000000 to 1000000, it'
