A father who does his best to be peaceful, in a world afflicted by violent states. ----------------- Un padre che fa del suo meglio per essere pacifico, in un mondo dominato da stati violenti.

Cool!

I feel claustrophobic by looking at the inside video but it's just me, the concept is very interesting, but I myself would feel buried in large capsules with no exit, because of those long and narrow corridors occluding my perception, and god forbid I'm 3 tunnels away from the nearest actual exist, it's hard to breath already.

well at least you're not initiating violence against anyone else by smoking 100$ instead of stacking sats with them

Adults believe in the government because as kids they were trained to believe in santa.

I am, thank you.

I am so much so in fact that I can clearly call your weak attempt at dismissing and ignoring my whole solid argument by trying to criticize out of context a couple of words I had used.

This argument is moot to say the least.

How are benefits paid?

Do people actually paying them have any choice about subsidizing immigrants?

Are, or are not, violence (taxes) and fraud (counterfeiting, as in inflation) used to make sure the state has enough to spend on immigrants?

That once in a while the imported human material turns out to be a good investment is marginal and inconsequential, what does happen 100% of the time is productive individuals being extorted and defrauded of their wealth for choices they did not make.

Letting AI go through all the stuff on your disk, what could ever go wrong.

BTW a disk space analyzer tool, like windirstat for windows or ncdu for linux, can help you do the same with human brain processing power and no leaks.

I was gonna say IBM but yeah all's good.

I think you kinda have to search for love, you first should know how to recognize a person that's good enough, then check that she's good enough for you specifically, and then well, love would come if it's to come.

Does this mean that you like things only when they're small?

Sorry, I'll see myself out now.

this is not the pussy I was looking for

Depends on which energy you're measuring, for example kinetic energy is (mv²)/2

Also, trying to invalidate physics because we're still unable to verify stuff at a nanoscopic level is like trying to say that birds don't actually fly because "it's all atoms moving around maaaaaan" 😉

Let's discuss about things we have an effect on and can be affected by, which are in the macroscopic scale.

Theft of garden gnomes is just a political excuse to keep strange people out of your lawn and limit free circulation of individuals, and is currently being used by dangerous nazis as a pathetic excuse to propose many other liberticide rules:

- DISABLE ingress of strange people in your garden through a fence

- LIMIT offensive capability of thieves by keeping guns on the premises

- REJECT taxation by removing arbitrary central authorities that always screw things up

- INVALIDATE any claim to "inclusiveness" by defending the sovereignty of people to decide who can enter their territory

- DISABLE state ability to spy on people by introducing privacy enhancing technologies

I'd be curious to hear what the missus has to say, still as long as it works more power to you (like, literally)

That is a false dichotomy.

Education and prior selection avoids ending up with someone who is not compatible with you, negotiation fixes surprises along the way.

Do you think that any woman would ever accept the role of "do whatever I say because I am the man"? I think that did not happen even 100 years ago.

You meant to say "why would you need negotiation"? Well negotiation is what avoids violence or depression when a conflict arises, and conflicts always arise.

Supposing what you say is true about spammers preferring rarity tied to higher expenses, even offering them a cleaner and cheaper way to spam will not convince them to forfeit the luxurious way of doing it, that is, with fake pubkeys.

So if that premise is valid, it contradicts your conclusion.

And if it is not valid, it does validate my point of only leaving the most expensive loopholes accessible.

No, people are not angels, people are a gross sum of praxeological individuals that work by profits and incentives.

More options to send spam inevitably means more spam.

You have some unusual definitions, but you are at least giving definitions 😉

Physics is rather the way the universe behaves, translated into mathematical formulas for our own understanding.

Whatever we (still) don't understand of physics, is not god, is rather a failure of our intellect.

You could say that god is "whatever we cannot understand of the universe", but then remember that once humans thought that rain, thunder, earthquakes and volcanoes were god. Nowadays all those things are not god. This makes the definition of god flaky at best.

Let's consequently say that unless we want to dismissively call god whatever it is that we still don't get of the universe, god just doesn't exist.

Let's define a common ethics and let's stick to that, god is unneeded.

Bitcoin is still based on math, that any practical application of math requires time and energy is a given, no?

Yes, fake pubkeys increase the utxo set, which means that other than taking space in the blockchain, they also increase the space needed in the utxo DB. Not in RAM, as they will be pretty soon placed in disk cache never to be fetched again, since they cannot be spent, but still.

Storing the same amount of data in fake pubkeys costs (depending on feerate) up to 30 times (if you consider 1sat/vB as feerate floor, even more for lower feerates) the cost of OP_RETURN, and way more than that compared to witness if you consider the 75% discount.

So yes, fake pubkeys increase the space requirement for full nodes, but are much more expensive than that for spammers.

Game theory says that if you do not give the possibility to store garbage in huge multiple OP_RETURNs, and maybe patch the possibility to do that in witness, spammers will have a much harder time spamming.

I have to be blunt, this sounds like word salad, no doubt I wouldn't have been able to produce such heights of elaborate sentencing in my high school years when I liked to meddle with word salads, but nonetheless it doesn't make sense, I hope you see that.

Physics is not the physics of god, it's just physics. And if a god indeed created it, it's an unnecessary ingredient, since we seem to understand it without having to place god in the equation.

Bitcoin is math, and math is probably the most universally acknowledgeable and verifiable truth.

Should anyone believe in anything that is not verifiable by the reason applied to the senses?

If that is true, belief in any mainstream divinity can't be any more dignified than believing in the spaghetti monster.

yeah real good example, "beat the shit out of bad people or I'll beat the shit out of you, and here's the leather implement I will use for that"

fast forward 20 years

a real hero is born thanks to an authoritarian, probably violent, father

suuuuuuuuure

I think I won't until I feel it is a necessity for him to have a phone number, and even then I'm not sure I won't give him a dumb Nokia 3310 clone.

He has free nearly unlimited access to a smartphone and a laptop as long as he's supervised and is doing smart things on them.

I am not sure whether you are arguing that men refusing women with tattoos are stupid, and that there are no such "high quality men", or something else.

The post you quoted makes perfect sense.

There are high quality men, and there are high quality women, and also their respective low quality versions, and in order to improve the next generation you should try and procreate with the better specimens in the pack.

"High quality" means all around, genetically, physically, and most of all mentally. Virtue is something you need in a spouse to efficiently raise your children.

A tattoo is indeed an indication of low maturity, or past psychological trauma, many tattoos increase so much more the probability of the former to be true.

I am so glad I didn't end up getting a black circlet of thorns on my arm which I started digging after watching American History X quite some time ago.

Rothbard does a masterful job, in For a New Liberty, The Ethics of Liberty, and Man Economy and State, to explain everything.

All the objections I ever find, try to jump straight over his most sound deductive arguments (as they cannot clearly be dismissed) to sufficiently say "yeah but then a meaner guy will take what's yours".

If you really want to see how your "big bad meanie" scenario could play out ("could", but free market is much smarter than all of us), read Practical Anarchy by Stefan Molyneux.

Having mixed results with trying to get my son to learn english.

The plan is having him play on duolingo, ranking is a nice metric to stimulate him to learn more... or so I thought.

Apparently he considers it as a stress, having to always reach a certain score not to get back to the previous level, his throughput has seriously declined with time. The 2x potions he gets from time to time are even an additional source of stress as he has to complete a lesson in a maximum time in order to get the bonus.

I was rewarding him by watching together a Spongebob episode after each training session, and we recently switched to Tuttle Twins, but it has not helped much.

Sto avendo risultati incostanti provando ad insegnare a mio figlio l'inglese.

Il mio programma era di farlo giocare con duolingo, siccome la classifica è una bella trovata per stimolarlo ad imparare di più, o almeno così credevo.

Apparentemente per lui è uno stress dover accumulare i punti necessari a non retrocedere in graduatoria, e la sua produttività è calata nel tempo. Le pozioni di raddoppio punti costituiscono un ulteriore stress perché deve completare una lezione in tempo utile a ottenere il punteggio doppio.

Lo ricompensavo guardando assieme un episodio di Spongebob dopo ogni sessione di allenamento, recentemente passando ai Gemelli Tuttle, ma non è servito a molto per aumentare la sua motivazione.
