You're not making any sense. " Either a Creator exists or it doesn't", that's called probability and the chance has to be equal. This is basic math you learn from elementary/primary school...
It is called a true dichotomy, the probability for each result does not have to be 50%, for example, you bought a lottery ticket, you either win the lottery or you do not win the lottery, the probability of each result is not 50%, unless there are only 2 tickets. You cannot calculate the probability of a god to exist because we don't have any bases to support such calculation. You answered it yourself with the lottery ticket analogy, there are only 2 sides of the equation, god exists or he doesn't, which makes the probability of either one, 50%. The lottery ticket analogy is actually incorrect. Both tickets can lose, since the outcome is not based on choosing one of the tickets as a winner but a random sequence of numbers, which neither ticket holder may have chosen. Even though there are only two tickets in said scenario, the probability of either one winning remains the same if there were 10 or 10,000,000 tickets. But the lottery example is not a valid comparison to something like the existence of god, since there is an equal chance for any possible sequence of numbers to be picked for the lottery, yet all the possible arguments for or against the existence of god are not equally valid and therefore do not deserve equal consideration. Here's a simple example of what I mean. One could argue that Santa Clause may or may not exist as well. Just because there are two possible answers does not equate the probability of him actually existing as being 50%. It only means there are two possible answers. In actuality the real possibility of him existing is 0%. I was trying to demonstrate how probability works, it was not meant to be an analogy, in lottery read raffle and now it is correct... |

'The weekly incentive will be paid in bitcoins to the Bitcoin address of a node selected randomly from a pool with at least 100 eligible nodes.'
hmm... so they are only rewarding nodes that are in mining pools or are they using the term "pool" in a more generic manner to refer to the payout happening once 100 nodes signup? At least 100 nodes, the maximum chance of one being paid is 1/100, but it will probably be lower, which means for the duration of this program, the majority of nodes will not be paid. So a VPS that costs 5 dollars a month has around a 44% chance to 2% chance at the lowest of being rewarded between 20- 30usd in 2015. Not enough to make people go out of their way to setup a node by itself but if you were going to be using that vps for other purposes you may as well signup. Yes, it's good for people who already have nodes or the means to have nodes, if people are going to set up nodes with the expectation of making profit, gonna have a bad time... |

Been talking to some ppl that say if i used my wallet in December for sure my secret key is compromissed!
Anyway, more time they take to give me a IP, more far i am from recovering those BTC.
If you used your wallet or if you created your addresses in September? |

The idea of your bitcoin decisions being approved by your ISP is disturbing.
The idea that Bitcoin depends on ISPs centrally controlled entities is much more disturbing. Can an ISP decrypt an encoded packet transferring bitcoin or related info ? Cant we just add a level of encryption in our clients (if it is not already there) and bypass the chance of their snooping ? They cannot decrypt it, but they can prevent it's transmission. |

How big is that? It's very small. Where did you get 4000x from? I really doubt that is true. It probably refers to the number of ALL sites not accessible on the public web for whatever reason like company intranets etc., not ONLY Tor. I think he meant deep web... |

^ point is that doesn't happen in isolation. The article you cited says that itself: socioeconomic factors play a part. It then dismisses it with an emotional argument like you're doing. But it never addressed it. You say it isn't racism. Ok, would white people behave differently if caught in the same conditions?
since white people tend not to go to black countries and demand welfare and all manner of free things from the blacks i guess we will never know the answer to that Right. White people just take the land for themselves, kill off the natives, and bring in slaves (Irish, Roma, Africans) to do all the work. Then demonize the oppressed. Native Americans and blacks in North America, Aboriginal Australians in Australia, etc. But since you have just been dodging it let me say it for you: one of the main drives of crime is inequality, not race. And add in very low social mobility in America that I forgot to write above. This ^ |

Wow, that is really sad. Can't believe things like these happening
Mass shootings are quite common in the US. I guess the lack of coverage by major news outlets it's because the victims are the wrong "color"... |

Well, this is something new... I also watch The Atheist Experience, it's a nice show.  |

People in Government positions don't know more than everybody else. Check Fermi paradox for some good hypothesis on why we haven't encountered alien civilizations yet. |

That website is full of neonazi propaganda, I wouldn't trust anything in there to be accurate.
