It's kind of a dumb question, to be fair. It should be fairly obvious that I'm trying to sway the people reading the comment.

> that were wrong about crypto years ago No, they were exactly right. In ten years, cryptocurrencies have produced nothing of value except speculation. This is like saying the Dutch that didn't sell their homes to buy into the tulip

The part where they said 10 years later there is still no actual applications or use, and someone responded with https://defipulse.com/ I think if a self-proclaimed crypto expert gives you this link as proof of use cases, y

So you're saying he betrayed the United States for a far worse, criminally oppressive regime? Everything in your comment makes him out to be a far bigger piece of shit. He betrayed the world for Russia, and now has far more deaths on h

Oh yeah I forgot how revered he is. Which is why he's hiding in oppressive regimes, lol. Even in the tech community, the most sympathetic group possible, half the people revile him as a self-serving traitor. Nobody takes him or his sup

I love it. He leaves for one of the most repressive countries in the world, but gets a pass because he's critical of the United States. This is why nobody takes him or his supporters seriously.

Fortune cookies are rarely good advice. Him aligning himself with actual evil diminishes anything he has to say.

It makes him a self-serving hypocrite.

The parent didn't say anything close to this. You need to calm down and read what's actually written, otherwise you're going to make liberals look like uneducated, unhinged, lunatics. I can be critical of CNN without praisi

This is not true. It doesn't even make sense. Pithy comments generally don't describe the real world. "We are in development and do not yet have a working product" - Not a lie "We have finished development and have

No it's not. It's not even remotely victim blaming. At no point did anyone even remotely hint it was their fault. People have taken this to a ridiculous level. Giving practical advice about how to avoid problems is not blaming the

If you think requiring the ability to delete your account is "developer hostile", you're exactly why this provision needs to exist. Apple is giving you six months to stop fucking your users. Sorry not sorry :\ > You have t

There are no known quantum attacks, so it's pretty pointless for most people to consider it in their threat models. If you're a nation state that needs to protect information for 30+ years, then it's worth considering. For ev

I don't think that's what the OP means, though. It's not "decent" people doing evil things. It's great people doing great things, within an organization that also does bad things. There are some amazing people

> Ah, more of Zuckerberg's jealousy because Snapchat refused their acquisition offer? This sounds like a complement, to be honest. If we get awesome, real, AR glasses because Zuckerberg is jealous, then more power to him.
