I don't really understand the debate.
Women and men are different and are made to do different things.
It doesn't mean men things have to be more important than women things. It's not because it's different than one is more important.
And it's of course only reliable from a statistical point of view. Because whatever the number of machine, men are more reliable to harvest trees than women.
Doesn't mean no woman can do it, but simply that on average it'll be mostly men.
End of the debate, why going further?
There is not only inter difference in genders there is also intra difference. No men is biological equal to another. That is obvious and not the question. What i am talking about is that technology is bridging this gap and the only thing important will be/is intelligence. If you dont understand it i cant help much. I'm sorry but you're wrong. Of course there are intra differences but that's why I talked only of STATISTICAL realities. It's a general point of view but there will be women cutting trees and men taking care of kindergardens. You think technology will bridge the gap completely? Well maybe. But to be honnest I don't think so. There are some things that will never changes. Women will still bear the babies, men will still be the ones fighting. That represents millions of years of evolution, it will be hard to erase it. And even, should we erase it? Gender differences allows a higher genetic differences, nor sure we should tend to destroy those differences. But again it's all statistical. It doesn't mean it's not possible, just that any job kid related will still be dominated by women and that any job strength related will be dominated by men. And is it a bad thing? |

Pretty sure it was said already but nobody reacted to this it seems.
I know the only winner of a WW3 and it would be Europe. Europe is protected by France nuclear weapons, able to nuke any country in the world. And Europe isn't an interesting target because there is absolutely no natural ressources of interest here. It means it's fucking dangerous and you wouldn't earn anything important. So nobody will attack Europe =)

This is something important. i'll try to give an example of why it's important. I live in a socialist country: France (even if more and more American influence make it become liberal and not socialist...). I'm from a rather poor family. We were not starving but we were clearly not rich. My parents worked a lot and earned little, they did whatever they could but life is what it is.
Well as France is a socialist country, the state paid for my studies, it even gave me money to study in another city where the school I wanted was! It allowed me to make great scientific studies and to become an engineer! Now I earn at myself pretty much the same salary as the sum of my parents salaries, which make me sure I'll be able to take care of them.
And so I pay much more taxes than what they did. But it's normal! It's fair!! I have my job because I made great studies, and I made them because I worked hard of course, but it was possible only because the state helped me. Because a socialist country is here to be sure you can do what you want if you work hard enough, that your parents' money is not the important thing.
Now I pay for the next engineers schools, and I'll pay it all my life. And I'll pay it with a big smile on my face, knowing if my country was not a socialist one, I wouldn't have been able to do this.

So rich people are guilty for being rich? I'm not saying that they are all clean, but just because some people work hard they should get their money taken away? Not cool.
Where did I say that? Where did I talk about "being guilty"? It's not the idea of being guilty! It's about inequalities! Of course the rich aren't guilty for being rich! Maybe they did bad things for that and in this case the law should punish them but that's not the question! The idea is not to take everything from the rich and give every one the same thing of course not! The idea is to take a bit more from the riches to help the poorest. Not to take EVERYTHING or not to take 90%, just to take a bit more. Because let's face it, it's much easier to earn more money when you're rich than when you're poor. Which means the richest people will continue to amass wealth until the end. And that's what is currently happening, if someone doesn't balance things a bit, riches only get richer and poors only get poorer. Of course again, the idea is NOT to take everything from the rich or to punish them for being rich. The idea is to make sure society doesn't become more and more unequal. |

"Pollution noun 1. the act of polluting or the state of being polluted. 2. the introduction of harmful substances or products into the environment: air pollution. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/pollution" it seems to me like you are interpreting the definition quite a bit. Interesting. Thanks for the link and the definition. It's funny you know, we call this a "faux ami" or "false friend". Because it doesn't mean the same thing as the word "pollution" in French! Not a bad definition though. It makes the word pollution more precise and directly linked to the degradation of the environment. Seems English language is not always the weaker between French and English ^^ |

I've read all your answers and (some of them) are interesting.
First thing, it seems you didn't all bother to read so I'll write it down again: the important part for a working socialism is a true democracy, which means that people should vote themselves the laws and the consitution. Which means the people are able to decide what should be taken and what should not, what are the priorities and where the money should be spent.
Second important thing, seems like there are a lot of Americans that don't get a clue about what is socialism. Socialism isn't communism. It doesn't mean you'll be taken everything you earn! It doesn't mean you'll no longer have the right to express yourself or to create a company! It doesn't mean you'll get oppressed or anything like that! Socialism is the idea that the government shall be careful about wealth inequalities, and do what is needed in order to not see 1% of the population own more than the 99%. That's all.
Finally it seems like you believe polices should be some kind of overpowered being in a dictatorial state...
What the heck? Police of a socialist country have no more power than police in the USA you know? Even a bit less!
The important part of socialism is that you would be abe to control companies and see that THEY ARE THE TRUE THREAT! They are the ones that ruin our world! They are the ones that get 99% of the wealth in the world and have NO OBLIGATION to give it back.
The main goal of a socialist country is to go see those companies and make them pay for what they do. The goal is not to take the money from the people but from where the money is. Hence, big companies and rich people.

Governments have killed and maimed many times more people than all "civilians" have ever, per capita, but governments should be the only ones with guns? Fuck you to death, you pro-democide freaks. Because you actually think it will change anything if people have guns? Look at WWII. During WWII there was no gun control. Did it change ANYTHING? I guess if you have only a few notions of history you already know it didn't. |

if nobody notice this morning: blocks are 97% full atm. Well the important is not that few blocks are full. The important is to see if there are still non full block to make the low fees tx go through the network. |

hey!
I just sent 0.8btc to my bitfinex trading wallet and... Bitfinex seems down! I can't access anything but the margin funding window!!!
Am I the only one having this problem?
If anyone has an info...
I hope I didn't just send btc to a failing platform xD
Especially as I hesitated between bitfinex and polienex...

Is it about laziness?
If atheism is a religion, could laziness be one as well?
BAD Decker - you have the floor. Hit it.
If laziness is a religion then I can become an adept xD Anyway none of the dumbasses here have ever answered to the original questions. They still never explained why the Earth is flat and square in the Bible... Or why God thinks the sky is blue because it is made of water... (Genesis chapter 1) Ahah, didn't know that. It's a good way to end any logical discussion xD |

I find a lots of people here saying things like "Socialism is the worst thing ever, it doesn't work and it's why the government have so much debt".
Well clearly it is not and socialism is the only way to go.
I'm French, I'm from a socialist country and solidarity is extremely important here.
Here is a common example given by people saying socialism is the worst thing ever: Healthcare costs around 2 billions of debt every year to the country.
So people are saying that we shouldn't give so much. That we shouldn't help each other so much.
I say bullshit nothing more.
The private sector of health is 36 billions every year. Just nationalize this shit and you'll get enough money to repay the health debt, triple the employment, repay part of national debt and lower the taxes!
It's the same for all sectors! What is profitable has been privatised by corrupted politician and only what costs money is left for the state! Another example? Yeah the Highways were sold to private companies! Just after they were repayed by tolls.
The only thing killing socialism is greed. Greed and corruption.
How do you fight it? By creating a democracy. but a true one not one of our shitty Western false democracies! One using the blockchain to make people vote for every law and every constitution modification! That's what should be done! Then you would see that we have far enough money, we're just letting private investors keeping it.

I don't understand. Isn't the size of blocks the limit for number of tx?
Even if you change the network, a XMB block can still contain only an amount of Tx's proportionnal to X no?
No , the LN is a extremely efficient caching layer that doesn't involve trusting third parties and can settle much higher txs. To help you understand it I will use an analogy... You are playing a game of poker with your friends and instead of settling up between all 20 games in a tournament, you use a special program that automatically locks and remembers all debts in a trustless and secure manner between games so the only txs you need to perform is buying the chips initially and cashing out at the end of the night. At any time you can quickly look up and see your balance and be assured that it is impossible for others to take it or manipulate your earnings. All Tx's happen instantly , do not depend upon trusted third parties or sidechains, or altcoins, but use bitcoin directly in a secure manner with the assumption there are adversarial parties trying to game the system. Ln also solves the problems payment processors have with double spends upon 0 conf which exist even without RBF enabled. This seems really awesome but if there is no third party then will miners become useless? And more important, how are the Tx's assured without third party confirmation? Maybe you have a link to some doc I'm not sure you want to explain everything here ^^ |

There will always be crazy people in the world who want to do bad things, but guns are what allow them to do these horrible things, without guns so available, these mass shootings wouldn't happen. and if you don't believe that, look at any other civilized country and they don't have easy access to firearms, and the don't have these shootings like we do
No, they just have worse mass murders and violent crime than the US. Sick. Hmm... No. Europe has a much lower violent crimes rates than US. |

wtf is the point of lighting again?
if it's true that lighting will require the main chain to scale 2 orders of magnitude
why is todd saying its the best solution as is pushes scaling to the high level? another lie?
LN isn't a 1 to 1 scaling solution like simply increasing the blocksize , but a p2p on the chain caching layer which can dramatically increase the amount of txs . Look at the whitepaper and slides. LN will allow for 133MB blocks to have ~unlimited Tx's Simply raising maxBlockSize to 133MB will only give us 931 TPS and LN allows allows us to incentivize nodes as well. We cannot compete with Visa by simply increasing maxBlockSize in TPS... impossible without some radically never thought of before technology. We can if we use smart payment channels. It really is that simple. I don't understand. Isn't the size of blocks the limit for number of tx? Even if you change the network, a XMB block can still contain only an amount of Tx's proportionnal to X no? |

Once you started taking loans and debts off of several people and financial institutions and/or banks, you know you already have a gambling problem. You need to consult a psychiatrist because if you will only depend on the support of your family members, you won't get out of that trouble.
only when u start taking loans and debts off several ppl, banks,... u can realize that u have a gambling problem? that's too late, man. it's not hard to tell u have a gambling problem very sooner that point. Taking loan for gambling is a big problem because it is an addiction, addiction towards gambling start when you do something stupid when it comes to gambling and that addiction will only gets worst when you have debts you can't settle. Taking a loan for gambling is even forbidden in some countries! And that should be the case of course! In France if you take a debt and lose it at gambling, your family won't have to pay for it (you will go to prison though if you can't repay it ^^') |

Back when I considered myself a Christian (I was 12), I asked my pastor about the dating... he actually had a decent argument (as far as Christian apologetics goes) But do not let this one fact escape your notice, beloved, that with the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years like one day (this was how he justified dinosaurs... thousands of years between day 2 and day 3 of creation story gives time for dinosaurs before man was created) Realistically, that still doesn't add up... even if the 6 days were 6000 years... that is still a far cry from 13.8 billion... Moloch was a Christian? Damn I wouldn't have say that  Well it's rather a good explanation if you forget the "a thousand" part. The text litteraly says "well we don't know anything about the date and we don't give a fuck you know" ^^ |
