  • I’ll tell you why I won’t buy one.

    I’m not going to go into debt as much as a house would’ve cost me 20 years ago so I can drive a 10,000 pound explosive that I spend several hours a day charging, be asked to pull over to turn on Bluetooth, have a tracking device in my car, which the government can turn off if they like, have to fumble with a touch screen to turn up the air conditioner, have to pay rent for features built into the car and then have any features I purchased be non transferrable on the secondary market. These are all fuck you’s to me, so I say fuck you to them. Take your vendor lock in SAAS product and shove it up your ass. You want me to give a shit about emissions, fix all that, until then I’m driving a 20 year old beater.






  • Lol OK.

    Points 1 and 2 are correct. The whole “energy money” thing is ridiculous. Bitcoin does follow a power law and if you’ve read saifedans book you’d be blown away.

    Of course, the things in the book apply to more than just bitcoin. Good luck convincing maxis of that. They just gloss over the details on how magically bitcoin is special. “It can only be done once” or some bullshit like that.

    Yes, in the long run, a thing can only store value if it is liquid. But for now, bitcoin is worthwhile.

    How to proceed… Don’t. You can’t save people from themselves. And save… What are you saving him from exactly? Disagreeing with you? It’s his life, let him live it.



  • Looks like fud to me. The keys are for the people running the network. Haveno decided not to run a network and just release software. If they had run a network these would be their keys instead.

    Deanonymizing tor Monero nodes… This is not haveno or reto specific. Haveno exacerbates it by increasing the number of Monero nodes on the tor network, that’s all.

    Looks like a nothingburger. Could reto be a honeypot? Sure, maybe I guess. But a honeypot for what? What information are they collecting? What are they collecting that they’d need to run a haveno network to collect?


  • I don’t know why you’re getting down voted. This is more than a shower thought, understanding this and exploring the ramifications of it will change your life. I’m serious.

    Albedo, black body radiation, energy gradients, inverse square law. Learn about that stuff.

    On the rock there’s a thin layer of slime that changes the albedo of the rock. It redshifts the light that emanates from it just a little bit. But that little red shift, that light that radiates in a slightly higher entropy state, that difference accounts for the entire biosphere, and all the attendant beauty that comes along with that. You love your mother with that energy.

    It makes me wonder, are we really separate from the sun?







  • The term “world war” is a propaganda term. First, the only reason the world was involved was because the world was mostly colonies of the belligerents. In reality it was a European war, and European holdings were involved due to their economics.

    In the second one, there were 2 distinct wars where the belligerents were allied for strategic reasons. The US was at war with Japan and Europe was at war.

    Since the end, peace has been held with a bunch of strategic alliances, so in any real war, all countries take sides. But with the current 2 notable wars going on, it appears that that alliance structure is breaking down. Alliances are not in line with the economic realities of these countries. The more real things get the less these alliances will hold. This is probably a good thing, as it prevents everything from getting out of hand.
