Bitcoin has absolutely nothing to do with web3, so you provided an empty list.

If your country's money and banking works for you I don't think I can explain to you why bitcoin is useful, you simply have no use for it. That your peers primarily use it for speculation says more about them than about bitcoin.

> the BTC network uses a staggering amount of power Actually, bitcoin uses a ridiculously small amount of power for what it provides. See for example here https://www.lynalden.com/bitcoin-energy/ for an introduction

I witnessed everything, the bullies used the CoC to justify their behavior and told me their committee encouraged their enforcement of the CoC in this way. People on the committee have published articles on the matter calling for such enfor

The fact that it was white people bullying people from all over the planet only made it worse.

Here's a shocking concept: language has context.

I can take your GPL code and never show it to anyone any more, that doesn't violate the license. I also don't have to publish GPL code indefinitely simply because I showed it to you once. Terrible analogy.

That sounds like toxic work, any sane person would rather move somewhere else and do something productive, like building a new community, or find an entirely new hobby.

I dislike that I have to make an effort to entertain myself during downtimes, but this is an excellent exercise for a future where reddit execs might just have made the site unusable for me.

I could literally google "how to sort a list in brainfuck" and copy and paste a solution right now. I specifically said somebody who doesn't know the language, not somebody who knows nothing.

by nkuttler 3y ago
Somebody who knows absolutely nothing about a language can also copy and paste together a working solution. I'd trust that about as much as something ChatGPT spit out.

I'm not sure why you're trying to make a point. HN has a voting system, you could just have provided the "better" quote and be done with it.

My guess is less concentration, debt and leverage in total. We seem to have progressed to a point where the entire system is very unstable and always at risk, and the only tool we seem to have left is creating more debt/money. Our mode
