"No temperature increase in 20 years"

Meh? Where did you wear in the last 20 years? All records show a global temperature increase for the last 50 years but also for the last 20. It's a very strange statement you're making.

The 'hiatus' of the last 20 years is broadly accepted on all sides.  Here, for example, is a 'warmista' site that just happened to come up top in a quick search:

  http://www.remss.com/blog/recent-slowing-rise-global-temperatures

Of course it is widely assumed that the reason the models have been wrong and temp readings are low-balling things is that the earth is heating more or less as predicted, but the energy is hiding out somewhere where it is hard to find.  The ocean is the usual culprit.  For my part, given that sea surface rises are also not acting as the scare-mongers predicted, I'm a little skeptical about that explanation as well.

The suggestion that natural variations in climate were seized on and pumped up as a means of gaining increased control over populations seems the strongest hypothesis to me at this point.  Especially since doing essentially that, and for that particular reason, was discussed many decades ago by the same basic class of groups who are now reaping the rewards of the global climate change panic.

Some people seem to indicate that when the pent up energy comes out of hiding it will be very devastating for us all and especially for [insert target animal here] unless we start paying a lot more in carbon taxes.  Scam?  If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck...



Well, maybe I'm dumb as hell but your graph clearly show an increase of temperature Oo

And so are most sources I managed to find, including NASA:

I mean you can't see that curve and say "no it's ok it's not increasing at all" no? Oo

If people overreact to it all though, then they just completely destroy their own credibility, I'e been pissed off with the way people just make up conversations in their heads that have happened and post based on that rather than what's actually being said or on the screen in front of them.

You know we should put a badge along it! A "don't read in a debate" badge!
We spread such article and all the people commenting without reading get the badge! So they can't debate anymore in the forum xD

core is reacting, they are firing up new nodes also. interesting battle we got here...

Why is it important to have more nodes than the others altcoins?
In the end that's the miners who chose no?

He just said that we were not sure that we had the same ancestor as Africans and that we're maybe not part of the same specie. Do we really need to go further?

By the way, I've been saying this elsewhere, but I wonder if we all shouldn't take part in a wave of headline trolling to get idiots to pick up on it who don't read the articles properly.

Not sure it would help much... The consequence would probably be just more spam. They don't really believe or care about the headline they just read, they just want to express their opinion. No matter the subject or the purpose of the thread/article/discussion.

“A 40 year old male asylum seeker from Syria have been sentenced to nine months in prison after he was convicted of an attempted rape of an 8-year-old girl in December 2014. The then 39-year-old man suddenly stood in the girl’s room in the middle of the night. The girl screamed in horror, and it woke her parents who came to her rescue. After a fight between the offender and the girl’s father, the now 40-year-old asylum seeker was arrested by the police.”

Merkel will be overjoyed after hearing this news. After all, we know that die führerin is having wet dreams about Eurabia every day.



i am really sick and tired of these rape stories.. these asylum seekers must immediately sent to their lands if not all of us will be raped by them..

Me I'm mostly tired of how you get jailed if you try to protect your family, but if they rape they get maybe 6 months of jailtime...

It's really horrible because you don't want to respect your government after this...

Exactly how it was before the internet. Ugly, sad and grey. The internet is a beautiful tool for learning and communication. That's how I imagine the library of Alexandria to have been.

Lol! Do we have the same internet? xD

The internet is ful of everything, best and worst, but mostly useless crap and insignificant amount of true innovation, that it's be in communication or learning!
But I love it.
Probably because I'm part of this crap...
2029  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How do you earn a lot of free bitcoins fast? on: February 07, 2016, 03:39:09 PM
Earning bitcoins is just like your job you need to have the skills to provide your services to people or you can get some donations for no work involved whatsoever.

When we come to earn the bitcoin very fast means we have to gambling only because Thats the fastest way guess but Very risky thing.
better stick with signature campaign works It would give average amount only but quite safe way earning for your posts in bitcointalk.

Signature campaign is the safest way to earn bitcoins, no doubt its not fast as gambling or trading but you will multiply your bitcoins in future for sure, and for newbie I think signature campaign is the best source to earn bitcoins.
Yes agree with you signature campaign is the best way for noob to earn bitcoin but they need to do hard work first & spending time to get a good rank in the fourm

To shine like a sun, you need to burn like a sun first, you don't get anything for free or easy, you need to work hard to achieve something, or else if you can afford then you can directly go for higher ranked accounts, that would be more profitable.

Bad idea. Most of the time buying an account is a bit dangerous...

A sold account can get retrieved by initial owner unless a sign message which is not provided by most seller.
Added to that the fact that you can't know but it's always possible that an account was used by an hacker at a moment.

Christ....I remember when this thread was about walls, trading, speculation and general 'doom' or 'moon'...now its just page after page of people talking incomprehensible blockchain bollox and petty politics.

There has always been some sort of crisis threatening the very existence of BTC, get used to it.

So, all the bed-wetters getting worked up about this: you do realise there are entire sections of this site devoted to these topics.  Perhaps you could all fuck off to those pages and stop boring everyone me to tears with your endless segwit, hardfork fuckwittery.

I hoped to find out a reason for the $6 price increase in this thread, and I hoped people would be discussing it. Instead I found a wall of posts about segwit combined with acronyms like hf and sf. Once upon a time people would have discussed whether the bottom of this dump was in, but now it's all block size debates.

Have to say I don't understand any shit about what's discussed here most of the time.

And I don't see really the link with the thread "wall observer".
But I keep coming here for chart buddy Grin

Quote from: Newbie
Is Bitcoin really a decentralized currency? How many coins can there be?
-snip-
I believe this answer is more detailed and would probably help more (maybe my explanations are not the best, I'm not an expert ^^).
The main idea is if you create the necessity of the 75 characters, it will reduce spam (cause spamming sig campaign would become more expensive in time) and people would get used to answering in a more detailed way. Which can't be a bad thing in my opinion.
Wrong. Your answer is a straw-man. The newbie did not ask what a decentralized currency was nor how it works. He only asked 'is Bitcoin one'; that's a yes and no question that can be expanded, albeit it would be redundant in this case. Imposing a character limit will not reduce any sort of spam but would rather negatively effect users that contribute by excluding their constructive albeit short posts. Spammers would just re-write more of what others posted to get above the limit (pretty simple actually).
Wouldn't say a straw-man, more like a deduction. He asks if Bitcoin is decentralized. That means he doesn't understand how it works, because if he understood how it works he wouldn't ask if bitcoin is decentralized as it's the obvious consequence of the way it was created.

So you gave him a misleading and wrong answer that might result in more confusion in the future. Bitcoin is not Litecoin and some of the other things you wrote are at the very least misleading if not plain wrong. Its a great example that length does not equal quality.

Imposing a character is the same thing as putting a captcha before the faucets.

No, it changes the message, a captcha does not.

It doesn't make it impossible to farm it, but it makes it more costly to farm it in an industrial way.

Key presses are not expensive, valuable, constructive content is. Its expensive because it requires experience and or thought. Pressing buttons in itself does not. All you do is force button pressing.

And let's face the truth if you take all the messages of less than 75 characters I'm pretty sure 90% of them will be spamming answers. (Though I never did any stats of that it's just an impression :3 )

Maybe, the majority of short answers are already lazy spam and worthless junk, but I dont think a higher number of symbols will change it. If anything it will change the noise to signal ratio to the worse.

Never said that length is similar to quality, that would be stupid of me!
But that a short answer can always be transformed into a longer one and you'll always have a better one. My answer is misleading you find? Maybe it's because I don't understand well the differences between cryptocurrencies or because I lack technical knowledge I don't know, but what's interesting it's that if my answer is more detailed, such incoherences will appear so other users will have the occasion to correct me.
I'll learn something and the user asking the original question will have more elements. It's a win-win for me Smiley

And key presses are expensive in time. I'm pretty sure lots of sig spammer posting only 20 characters answers or even less do it only because they want to maximize profit. I find it a good way to counter them is to put a base characters limit.

But you're right in the fact that contrary to captchas it does change the message. I just have the feeling it can't really change it in a bad way and can't think of a situation where it would be. Maybe I also lack imagination  Cheesy

Am I the only one who doesn't care for the dude nationality, but who's shocked by the sentence?

I mean.... NINE MONTHS?Huh NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINE?Huh

Wtf is this shit? Attempted rape on a 8 year old child and he gets only 9 months of prison?
Where are the 20 years at least this monster deserves???

i don't like Donald Trump he is too arrogant and i hope that Hillary Clinton will be the next president of USA
arrogance isnt the only reason, its a flat out insane idea to entertain the idea of him as the president. he keeps saying things in his speeches / rallies and offers no backing or explains his thoughts and actions, example: 'lets build a wall to keep the mexicans out.'
another, 'we need to do something about china.' well donald? exactly is that 'something?' not to mention the 4th grade sentence structure thing.

Or just the main guy who just seems to be the president from Idiocracy...

I really see no difference, big mouth, big guns, big speech and small brain...

And now look at my very small country:

Not to speak about art and literature...Seems that russian are greatly inferior when compared to Italians. ..

Where did we start to compare different nations? xD

Most people just like hearing themselves talk, and this has been known for as least as long as people have been speaking. 

But I concede that the internet has made me stupid as all hell.  My attention span has been constricted to milliseconds.  Bye.

Yeah doesn't help, cause it's most of the time due to the amount of informations...

It proved that some people leave comments on articles after only reading the headline.

Or am I missing something?

No that's exactly that. But the funny thing is that some people are also commenting this thread without reading it Grin

That snow this south in Vietnam reportedly was the first since the middle of the 17th century which incidentally was about the start of the Maunder Minimum. So it kind of gets you thinking an ice age, hopefully a mini one.

I probably don´t need to mention that the country of Vietnam is located in the tropics.

Well Algore explained something like 10 years ago that CO2 was warming the planet, which will lead to the end of the ice cap, and that the main consequence will probably be the end of the Greenwhich. And without the hot wind going through all Atlantic it's most likely we're heading towards an Ice age. It'll be a good time to live in Mexico...

It´s set to start in six months, much water under the bridge until then.

Meh! Good point.

I don't think lots of people will take the risk to go to Brazil if there is a shit like that...

Cause I don't even know the long term consequences. I mean, imagine your wife isn't pregnant, would the fact that she'd be infected by Zika virus have consequence on the child she'll bear 2 years after?

I agree. It's damned fishy when someone says "I have a free software to make you earn money".

My ass yeah, if you had such a software you would just run it yourself with lots of money on it. Or even take a loan and use the money from the loan.

I don't believe you at all, it's certainly a malware, else why sharing?

That's a very sad world view. What you are describing is that everyone is out to hustle each other.

I made this program initially for myself. But I thought I could share it with others because I thought it would be of value.

It's up to you if you want to use it or not.

Well I just got scammed of a consequently substantial amount of money so yeah I'm rather pesimistic on such things.

But my apologies for judging in advance. And it seems like numerous people tested it and vouch for it.

I'll wait a bit and if everyone is satisfied or at least didn't get screwed I'll maybe give it a try.
