Except that Trump was right!     Cool

Saying so over and over does not make it true - just more boring. All evidence, even declarations before congress by their own team and near family point to someone simply trying to take power by force. The US is probably the only place where this guy does not end in prison for a long time.

Even if someone accepts that somehow there was any short of cheating (which is nearly impossible at the scale that would have been needed), the "solution" of assaulting the Capitol is not a solution at all. Attacking physically the chosen representatives of the people is a Coup regardless of any circumstance. In most countries it gets you life in prison, in some a firing squad.

The difference in this case is that the House and some of the Senate agree with me. How do they agree with me? By not taking time to do a 10-day investigation into the anomalies of the election before approving it.

Such an investigation has been done in at least one past presidential election. In addition, 100 Congress people asked for this investigation. But they were turned down by the majority. So, the majority agreed that they had something to hide, that the election was fraudulent, and they didn't even want to check it out.

That in itself is a breaking of their Oaths of Office to uphold the Constitution. The lawsuit here - https://www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/22/22-380/243739/20221027152243533_20221027-152110-95757954-00007015.pdf talked about here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5334747.msg61402193#msg61402193 shows how adamant Congress and Biden were about breaking their Oaths of Office.

Cool

No, that is your interpretation plus a little bit of blatant lying, not facts. A number of complaints were filled and dismissed in all states. Even if you do not believe in all the proof, the content of the depositions, the own members of the RP saying that they wanted nothing to do with it, at least you should consider the level of organisation that would be required to change the vote across several states. It is impossible to do that without leaks and people knowing and leaving real evidence behind.

It is about time that you guys accept that Trump was a terrible president. He was not up to the task of leading a country, probably he is not even up to the task of leading a country club. People died because of his attitude, diplomacy was severely hurt because of his - I cannot call it anything but stupidity. US has lost stance in the world and left it worse that it was before him.

If the RP cannot come up with someone better than Trump or Bush Junior or the likes of them, there is something very wrong in the party.

Elon buying Twitter, which banned Trump - quite late if you ask me - for using it to mobilise the radical supporters into marching violently in the Capitol, then saying that "there was information that was hidden from the public" - which points to supporting conspiracies and Trump and his appointed candidates still on the theory of the stolen election...

I mean, just add 2 + 2 and this looks like Trump trying to get elected even if he does not get elected. There is not much from there to saying that he is "entitled to another mandate after because the second was stolen" or anything along those lines...

I think you should not mix business with politics. In my opinion, the aim of Elon Musk might be just freedom of expression, and I also believe the same. However, the permanent blocking of Trump from Twitter raises questions about the credibility of freedom of expression. So I can say there is nothing wrong with the decision of Elon Musk.


You are implying that there is not freedom of expression already or that is somehow inadequately limited. This is pretty much how the narrative of the Trumpublican party is now. Elon has mixed politics and business certainly, declared several times in lines dangerously close to justifying a coup, so this is not me.

Permanently banning Trump from Twitter is based on the conditions of use. Basically calling for an assault on the location of a governing body when they were choosing the next President. A ban from Twitter has rarely been more deserved.

https://www.tagesspiegel.de/politik/absolut-unerwartet-putin-zeigt-sich-enttauscht-von-merkel-wegen-ausserungen-zur-ukraine-9006844.html

In the interview published on Thursday, Merkel literally said: "And the 2014 Minsk Agreement was an attempt to give Ukraine time. She also used this time to get stronger, as you can see today.”

According to Merkel, Putin could easily have overrun Ukraine in early 2015. "And I very much doubt that the NATO countries could have done as much back then as they do today to help Ukraine."


Putin was fooled, war was planned since forever...USA didn't plan to honor any agreements since dissolve of USSR
Nice interpretation of interview. But actually, consequences that we have today is result of Merkel and other Western politics decisions. Like sucking Russian gas pipe without having other suppliets made Europe heavy dependent on Russian gas. Too positive attitude towards Russia. And actually, when Russia occupied Crimea and invaded Eastern Ukraine, Europe gave time for Russia to become stronger. Sanctions that they imposed then was complete joke. Reaction wasn't harsh enough.

It is false logic ("Ukraine made itself stronger, thus they were not going to comply" False, Ukraine had all reasons to get stronger since the RF had shown clear intent of using violence to achieve its objectives).

The Minsk agreements are pretty much an unconditional surrender and a treaty that is imposed like that does only hold while the balance of power holds. There have been many comments already on who broke what in the agreements. Adolf Putin is not neutral to this.
1484  Other / Politics & Society / Re: The most ridiculous rules for female teachers on: December 11, 2022, 11:38:01 PM
These are the rules for all female in Muslims extremist regimes, you do not need to travel to 1914. Even in moderate regimes, the rules are implemented effectively to fully control the life of women, except that they are actually more stringent than the ones you have published.

The free world is at risk of going back to those ridiculous rules as there are many fundamentalists, including Christian fundamentalist that would be happy to have that set of demands of women.

It's honorable for men to treat women well. But if Adam had used his head, and had taken a little more control of Eve so that she didn't eat the apple, the world might still be a paradise.

Cool

You should not confuse the Christian mythology with reality. Please, go to a qualified person for your treatment if you are also hearing voices.  And NO, your priest is not a qualified person for that.

here is the thing about rules

they also reveal what women did do

EG travelling to the moon is not a thing people did. so there was no moon rules

but revealing that women did dye their hair and loiter at ice creameries.. shows that women did do those things
hence why some idiots thought rules needed to be applied

it also reveals women in 1914 had jobs because there would not be rules for women if no women were teachers.

so take a pinch of salt about the rules and read what it implies outside the rules

yes the rules are bad. and exploitative but read whats not said but implied by having the rules.

yep women did travel in cars with random guys, dye their hair and flirt. and have jobs. but once in a job the rules sucked the life out of woman

Women have had jobs since the beginning of time - a completely different thing is getting paid for said jobs. Women in 1914 had a limited choice of works - very very limited - factories, teaching, nannies, secretaries,... And they could only keep working if married with permission with the husband.

Women who dyed their hair, went with random guys, etc... were pretty much excluded from social circles as that was considered immoral. Obviously a teacher cannot, even nowadays, show an unsocial behaviour in private life - except that now none of that would be unsocial.

All that you are "discovering" by reading the rules is well known history, there is no need to re-analyse the wheel.

If you do not stand with Ukraine, you are a genocidal psychopath.

Russia is conducting ethnic cleansing in Ukraine.

He stands with Ukrainian civilians, which is perfectly all right. Not every RF citizen is evil - in fact most of them just want to live their lives in peace and prosper like anyone else in the world. The problem is the army and the chief psychos, along with the senile Putin. I reckon that RF population should seriously consider doing something about their government, but in a country with an 11% military spending that may be quite a challenge.

We've deviated so far from textbook economics, that conventional norms no longer apply.

The science of finance and economics, involving numbers and math, should be accurate. Its an "exact science". For the same reasons most might agree that 2 + 2 = 4.
...

I would not say we are out of the books. There are some doubts on which direction each world area is heading - it can be stagflation, it can be sustained inflation or it can be back to low growth and low inflation. Potentially, it could even get to mid growth low inflation.

All these scenarios are possible, but my take now is that there should be more taxes and this being used to reduce debt, that is quite in general for the western developed worls.

I've been studying the subject a lot lately.  It's not particularly easy to just 'switch sides' physically. Even the handful of nations who will sell citizenship (e.g., Turkey) do want upwards of half a million $$$.

You're studying something irrelevant. You don't need citizenship to pursue freedom in the dictatorship country of your choice. Russia will happily hand out permanent resident permits to pretty much anyone, all you need is a job.

And probably some Russian? I mean, sound like an obstacle to many.

BTW not a "handful" of countries sell citizenships... US, Australia, Canada, UK, Spain, Italy... all have golden visa. I am not going to research, but with around a million USD you can probably be welcome anywhere. And the funny news is that the money does not always have to be yours: think Entrepreneurs visa, just for raising half a mill or so.

Anyway, the point is true and we are still waiting for news of BA Decker's application for RF citizenship and be.open's frontline pictures.
1489  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Germany arrests 25 extremists on suspicion of planning armed coup on: December 09, 2022, 11:38:24 AM
I would like to know the details of the investigation. I am glad Germany keeps a vigilant eye on guys like this, but ideology (communism, nazism, capitalism, fascism,...) is not a crime in itself. Contacting with Putin technically is not either. I am interested in knowing the plans they had, how serious they were about it and the extent of the illegalities themselves. The number of people implied or supportive in the rage of the 20 thousand is something I would also like to have honest confirmation of it.

Having said that, insofar as I am concerned, they are better kept away.

Ok Elon is trying to game the system and obtain power greater than Apple and Google. He has been playing both sides for awhile and I've learned to not trust him like any mainstream talking heads. Trump is becoming more and more politically irrelevant due to the onslaught of Jan 6th shoved down our throats but if BLM or Antifa did the same thing then the media would be silent. Why do you think the Hunter Biden laptop wasn't a bigger story than it was? They have the power to cover it up and SBF he is one of your boyz stealing all your money while sending it to your precious Democrat party (*some of it went to Republicans). Another reason Trump's relevancy is in decline is how he handled the pandemic and buckled under the Demz guilt tripping the nation over it when it was a nothing burger. If the pandemic was real then whole areas would just stop and be fully shut down just like when Ebola hits African villages. The Demz have the senate to pass anything through so if things get worse don't complain or moan because its people like you that wanted this. As for you if I had to try to do the same math "Pax" + "Mao" does that mean you work for the Chinese government? Hope you like those FED stamps when they're worthless lol.

LOL... so funny... you see a conspiracy in anything and consider yourself smart, but it is, like in most cases, it is because you lack basic understanding of how the world works and some basic culture, so for you everything is mysterious and think other know as little as you do.

paxmao - "Pasmao" - colloquial Spanish for "being frozen" or "paralyzed by astonishment". Not "working for China", nor for that matter, for anyone except perhaps the sponsor in my signature if posting is work.

It also happens that "pax" means peace in Latin... just a coincidence.

I'm sure they are using cryptography in their games, because hash function is cryptography, right? But regarding blockchain technology, how, in your opinion, it can be used in slot games, for instance? You mean using blockchain technology instead of RNG, right? In the case of slots it's thousands various outcomes per second worldwide. How can blockchain technology be of a help here?
Yes, you are right. Most casinos use cryptography in their provably fair algorithms and this is common especially on in-house games such as dice, roulette, crash.. Like Coinbox1 already explained.
Regarding the blockchain technology, I meant omething like smart contracts (like the difference between CEXs and DEXs). The player interacts directly with the smart contract and everything is recorded on the blockchain. It's going to ba a challenge but still feasible.

Too many scalability problems IMO, the blockchain has certain uses but a private casino recording in a blockchain seems like overdoing it. Provably fair is an interesting application, but that is pretty much it. There is not much benefit from having tokens or records, I would even think that some people would rather not have any records of their activity  Grin

Thank you  Grin

Instead of asking about the desired API, I think you better ask for all the desires and wishes for a better sportsbook.
You may face a lot of different opinions from many users, which would eventually lead you towards a better idea in terms of requirements for a better sportsbook.


IP address is also an important factor for casinos so that some gamblers will not be scared of there funds when they find out that the IP address of the casino is from a region that is not good or have a bad reputation for online gambling. This is why the IP address is of good importance and the government also will not proceed with bigger task for the operating casino.

I have a question regarding IP addresses, I live in a residence, where I share the internet with some neighbors, if I urge them to enter the casino, they register with their computer, and they are people who will use the internet that I have , that is considered cheating then? Everyone plays from their phone or from their computer, but do the IP addresses that the casino seek to have be different on the devices or do they have to be from another service provider? where I live I only get one service provider and it would be painful to tell them if I want them to invite them to a casino to pay for their own internet.


The site can be located in a certain region, serverwise, but the company jurisdiction is more important, they would need to make sure that the country has a positive attitude towards gaming but at the same time is going to enforce the rules that make all this be honest. Else, it does not matter if the servers are in the US or in some region in the Pacific, is about the laws.

I'm actually a little dissatisfied with why the OP thinks that there should be some kind of special casinos for the plebs. 

Of course when betting thousands of dollars in a gambling area like Las Vegas, it's not for the plebs.Huh  And that those millionaires who play there are better than those players who bet $10.  How are they better???  Yes, they are all much worse than us ordinary people who honestly earn a living, and do not squander crazy money from the inheritance, or people like SBF (Well, of course, until the collapse of FTX! ) Grin). 
In general, it is unfair to divide players into plebs and no-plebs. 
Where is the boundary of such a division - there is none!

Yeah, all casinos need two types of players, the "plebs" if you want to call them that way and the "big shots". The first ones will be on the retail end, little bonus, not much attention from the site, etc...  while the big spenders will receive all the attention and get plenty of freebies. But there is not much difference other than the stakes in terms of the games being played I would say,

If there's no proof then it's hard to believe on this statement.

A few of the words in the title thread are pretty much red flags: Chinesse (not precisely known for giving advantage to others in the deals, nor giving accurate information), an no KYC, which is pretty much banned all over the world. It seems so doubtful that the proof to the contrary of being a scan would need to be also quite extensive. I wonder why are we even trying.

I am not really confident on these, but honestly, I am not really confident in any other token at the moment. There has to be a clear advantage over bitcoin, which means the token should not be linked to it, which is something that is not happening in general. It also has to give a clear advantage in the gaming, as you are always at risk of the site closing, etc...

It's about 500-600km from Ukraine border or frontline and Ukraine don't have such long range weapons. Russia says it was Tu-141 Strizh drone from Ukraine. Even if it's true, then it shows how effective Russian air defense is if old soviet drone can fly few hundreds km through territory of Russia without being hit.

And what about the air defense that NATO has? Some may have forgotten about the drone that flew from the direction of Ukraine, flew over Romania and Hungary and crashed on the capital of Croatia. In an hour of flight, no one detected it or tried to shoot it down - really impressive.

However, it should be said that such drones are very difficult to detect because they fly at very low altitudes and if programmed well, they can use natural objects to hide from radar. The fact that they fly in all directions without being detected speaks in favor of this.

It seems that air attacks in general are at the moment exceeding the defensive capacity in general. Anti-air is expensive and cannot cover all territory, but just vital points and perhaps cities. Meanwhile, cheap IKEA drones can be cheaply be sent by the hundreds, so even if 80% are lost it does not matter.

Having said that, these attacks are a weapon of destruction, but not really a weapon of conquer. It seems that the RF is trying to force a diplomatic hand rather than real military gains.
1500  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Is the Ukraine War a Money Laundering Scheme? on: December 05, 2022, 08:08:30 PM
No it is not. There are much more efficient ways to launder money and a war is always bad for business (unless you sell weapons). Laundering money is pretty much accepted by many governments as long as it is the "right people" laundering, they leave some chunks in the table for the politicians and drive somehow the increase in the property market. Nah... laundering works better in peace.

The Ukraine war isn't about little money laundering. It's about the foundation of US money, which is a gigantic money laundering scheme.

I don't know if Russia has its own money laundering scheme to control the world. But the US dollar certainly is one.

The reason for the US push against Russia is that the US banking dollar is a Ponzi, as well. And like all pyramid Ponzi's, it will die if it can't find more people and companies to add to the Ponzi. Russia simply won't allow itself to be added to this Ponzi. So, the US is trying to use force to do it... force through Ukraine.

This whole thing can be seen in my thread here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5414658.msg60995801#msg60995801. Oh, that's right. You don't want to check it out to see. Almost forgot.

----------

If you are truly on the side of the people of Ukraine, tell them to get their Bibles out, and read and accept the first 4 books of the New Testament. Everybody dies, and Ukrainian people will be dying faster if they keep pushing at Russia. At least, if they come to believe about Jesus, they will be raised to life in the last day at the time of the Judgment, when Jesus returns.

Cool

BA, if you really want to be taken seriously, you are going to actually provide realistic evidence of the things your say, because it is very trendy to be a conspiracy theorist and it seems to be commonly accepted that anyone out there may know more than the people who actually know about things after studying all their life - but I do not. I am not blind, I do not fail to see the "scheme behind" nor anything like that. It is simply that I have actually bothered to learn about how the world works from proper sources.

Now, if you expect any kind of reasonable discussion, you would need to stop mentioning your imaginary friends (such as "God") or choose to go and talk to them.

BTW, Ukrainians are mostly Orthodox, which actually have a version of the Christian legends much closer to the original ones, kept by the Byzantines. You do not get to teach anything to them regarding Christian mythology.
