I mean at this point where dont they pull that shit. Where America leads, the world follows. That includes jumping off a metaphorical bridge apparently.

@iankenway Typical politician... "I want to take away your rights to protect children from sexual abuse"...

you: "Cant we just agree to protect children from sexual abuse without violating my rights or privacy"

politician: "You mean to tell me you support pedophilia!!!"

There is a small chance I might be a troll, but hey, at least I am a friendly troll.

@hansw being willing to fail (and start over) is the top indicator of success IMO

@hansw That is very fair. Sadly most people take a profression they think they should want (usually for money) rather than the one they actually want.

@khird I'd imagine even if we didnt have sexism or racism the very fact that STEM is so predominately male that even if we assume that is "natural" (not saying it is) then one would expect women to have an extremely hard time just for being the odd one out. I could only imagine how difficult it must be if you add legit sexism on top of that.

While I dont think STEM professionals are any more racist or sexist than any other group, that prejudice is still there to some degree, so I could just imagine no matter how you slice it it will be a career that will have some very unique challenges for a woman in even the best of climates.

There is a 100% chance that if you use the phrase "cognitive dissonance" that you are, in fact, a moron trying to sound smart in an argument you already lost.

@icedquinn personally i love wasting money, it means I have money to waste.

Man this is why people have to learn you cant oversimply your beleifs, if you do its little more than dogma.

1% dead is a lot, its a hell of a alot. Imagine if every time you flew somewhere 3 - 4 people died on the plane (1%), I bet you might think twice before taking that plane...

@hector

well keep in mind anonymity != privacy, in fact the lack of privacy can lead to lack of anonymity. which is the issue with bitcoin out of the box.

If you just use an ordinary bitcoin wallet, then yes it is anonymous. But a government can associate it with you by reviewing your cash trasnsfers into the system (your purchases of bitcoin from your bank) and ass such the fact that all bitcoin transfers between accounts are public (no privacy) can lead to a lack of anonymity. It is a known problem with bitcoin.

Wallets therefore need to add a layer above that to get some level of anonymity by creates a new wallet for each transfer. This way its harder to track which of the wallets are yours and which are going to other people and your just buying something in bitcoin... but even this is public so its not perfect.

If you truly wish to be safe from being identified as the owner of your cryto account, even at a government level, then you would need to use a coin other than bitcoin that provides obfuscation of the coin transfers.

@blinkwarp

@blinkwarp there are cryptocurrencies out there which add the privacy in as a fundemental aspect of the algorithm. thus hiding the final destination. Hardware wallets also support this for coins that do not do it natively (like bitcoin, which is pretty crude by comparison to more modern crypto), they create subwallets that cant be tracked to the parent wallet for each transaction and manages them from a master wallet so the owner never has to deal with the implementation details.

so yea, privacy with crypto is pretty easy to achieve and a design consideration for a lot of this.

@nommon at the time writeas was an obvious choice since plume just wasnt mature enough yet.. ill need to reexplore plume though to see if it is looking any better

@nommon nice, I should be able to throw one up easy enough then.
