No one expect it. But that doesn't mean the opposite; that there is nothing about Jesus doesn't become somehow a proof of his existence. The first step must be to acknowledge that there is nothing about Jesus up until around the y

You are missing my point. Every company does this, even Apple. Every company outsources designs to third parties or buys the rights to an already made product to sell as their own. Apple does it with cables and maybe most famously the Apple

What do you think Apple does every time someone buys from their online store? They even give you a tracking number where you can follow the item in real time all the way from the FoxConn factory in CHINA directly to your door. It never ev

This companies are no different than any other company in the history of business. The only thing I can think of is the fact that in this case you can easily track the supplier and find out the "original price" of the item in a wa

Live by the sword...cry injustice of the 'less-principled' when everybody else gets swords. But everyone is right when quoting one's self.

The irony is just too much. Are you really complaining about a breach of 'trust' when data in possession of one entity ended up in the hands of another without the subject's permission? In a thread about Facebook?

0-confirmation seems to be just a placeholder, so I do not think it is comparable at all to a credit card verification. I do not want to nitpick but credit cards validate, that is to say they verify the parts in a transaction and resolve in

The transaction may not be truly completed, but it was validated instantly.

Sure, but that is not controlling your own money .

I do not know much about Bitcoin or other crypto coins, but how can it be more efficient if it takes on average[1] almost an hour for a transaction to be validated? Credit card, Apple Pay, Ali Pay, etc. are instant. [1] https://c

Sadly most people don't realize what they see is 'radio waves', hence OP's misguided comment.

Yes, the US leveled an entire country and has been occupying it for almost 20 years just out of the goodness of their heart, grandma must be so proud , no economic interest whatsoever! What confuses people like you is that you think sellin

And what currency are all those exports in? And all those 'reconstruction' billions and decades long military contracts don't benefit anyone I'm sure.

> As long as those countries play fair. And what a coincidence, the US decides what fair is . Bombing other countries and occupying them for their oil and other resources is totally fair.

What game? they already won. The US makes nothing and now it is isolating itself, great move.

In Ecuador the temperature ranges from ~60 to ~90F, but I'm sure for them is a great relief to know people of New York have a temperature unit that perfectly matches their climate as neatly as going from 0 to 100.

I won't disagree with you on this because you'll always feel more comfortable with something if you've been using your whole life. For example, I would never understand why you think 1/2ft = 6in is simpler when you hav
