561  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: [β] BPIP Extension: user info & extra features add-on/extension, Firefox/Chrome on: November 13, 2022, 06:11:10 PM
Yeah, it could be really complicated. Although in reality many (or perhaps most) personal/small project don't care or don't check license compatibility between each library/used source code. But AFAIK rewriting source code usually is legally acceptable. BPIP will have to do that anyway unless they want to bundle jQuery on their extension.

Yeah we don't really want jQuery. I'll take a look at what the enhanced merit UI does and if/how that functionality fits into our extension. I assume you wouldn't have a problem if we steal the idea but not the code?

1. Is it possible to have this extension in Safari? Is there any particular reason why it is not possible (yet)

I don't know a thing about Safari nor do I own or touch or have any regular relationship with any Apple products so that might be a bit of a challenge. But I'll see what can be done there. We have a cross-platform shim library between Firefox and Chrome/Edge, if it's as simple with Safari then it shouldn't be a problem. However if it requires an Apple developer license or something like that - I'd have to pass. I'm already having nightmares trying to maintain some mobile apps for iOS, don't need a new one Smiley

The topic of the thread is as stupid as it gets but seems like a good test as to how some people see the forum and what drives them to participate here. Not very surprising though.

There is a video making rounds in the dark depths of Telegram that kinda reflects the essence of this war, if the video real... which it most likely is (or at least the message being conveyed is) since it seems to have originated from Wagner's official channel.

The story goes like this: a Wagner PMC "soldier", one of the thugs they hired from prisons, gets captured as a POW by Ukrainians. He sings like a canary, tells lots of stories that may or may not be true, gets a lot of publicity. Then POW exchange takes place and Wagner wants him back. At this point the story gets a bit sketchy - some say that Ukrainians sent him back against his will, some say he was coerced to go back because Wagner threatened his family. At any rate, the video is about him singing a different song somewhere in a basement in Russia and getting his head smashed with a hammer. I'm not going to post a link for obvious reasons, you can probably google it up if you're into shit like this, but yeah... these are the "denazifiers" coming to fix Ukraine. Simple folks, traditional values.

So your sales pitch for ending a pointless war is "we can fuck up Ukraine and our own country much more than we already have, so give up now"?

I'm afraid the answer now more than ever is going to be "better pay the high price at this time than a much higher price later". Clearly the lunatic in control of Russia and sycophants like you don't have anything positive to offer nor could you be trusted even if any such offers could be made. There is no incentive for anyone to give anything to Kremlin if the only outcome is going to be regrouping for another war 8 years later.

I'm not scammer.

That's great. Quit acting like one then. You know that no one is going to give 20k to some random internet person.
566  Other / Meta / Re: Not Your Keys Not your Coins Banner Needed Everywhere? on: November 12, 2022, 06:53:25 PM
You can't fix stupid, especially when greed is part of it. And let's face it, some people are too stupid to handle their own keys properly so a message like that might backfire even if anyone paid attention to it ("Dave told me to keep coins in my own wallet and I lost my phone and now I'm broke").

Having said that, I fully support informed decisions even if they're wrong, so yes, the forum should encourage users to own their keys and bear responsibility for losing their coins instead of just giving them up to random scammers.

I am waiting to see if Ukraine consolidates or intends to actually cross the Dnipro. It would be an extreme strategic risk to do so, but I am not sure if this is a full collapse or just a disorderly retreat.

There is a say in Spanish, "a enemigo que huye, puente de plata" - "give a silver lined bridge to a running enemy". My take is that Ukraine has renounced to damage Kherson even further while also renouncing to capture a few thousand RF soldiers. Would that have been possible? Would that have been a decisive hit to the RF army?

I doubt Ukrainians need to cross Dnipro there near Kherson, way too complicated now with bridges being essentially destroyed. They will probably want to HIMARS the juicy stuff on the left bank (like bridges/ammo depots/etc) as far as they can reach to reduce the risk for shelling on Kherson, but then they can move some troops to other areas, like Luhansk, and encourage Russians to make another good will gesture.

Sit on your hands and you'll be fine but this topic is about price (and the buy and sell walls) so the content is OT.

There are many implication to the Bitcoin world.
I tried to enumerate those on a different thread of mine I don’t want to shill here, but of course none of us is worried about losses for FTT holders or SBF himself..

I understand the price discussion, but not quite the personality obsession. Did Mark Karpeles or Paul Vernon have the same worship here? Maybe they did.

Finally there are crowds in the streets in a major Ukrainian city greeting soldiers entering said city. Almost exactly like Kremlin planned, except for one tiny detail.

Suchmoon would be shouting whattabout a few comments ago.

LOL yeah but whataboutism is all they have.

I saw in one Z voenkor telegram that he still believe that's part of Putin's smart plan.

I've seen lots of "coping"...

  • some say there was an agreement between Putin and NATO to let Russians retreat but evil Ukrainians broke the agreement and started shooting
  • some are starting to blame general Armageddon Surovikin who was their hero for bombing power plants but turned out to be as full of shit as the rest of the MOD (claiming Ukrainians lose 7-8 more personnel in fighting but for some inexplicable reason Russians need to retreat)
  • some claim that Russian forces fully evacuated days ago so there can't possibly be thousands of them left in the "kettle"
  • obviously Kakhovka dam and dirty bomb claims are making rounds again

All solid indications that the clusterfuck in Kherson is as good or even better than the one near Kharkov.

Just re-ran my scientific models. The price of bitcoin will not sustain more than 3 consecutive days above $20k for the rest of the year. Next year there is a 96% chance that the price will not sustain 10 consecutive days above $20k for all of 2023.

But yeah I can see how "cryptos" can help all those Nigerians that are having trouble moving their uncle's inheritance out of the country.

There is something here that does not match. If it is that easy as simply saying "I refuse this suspiciously camouflaged-tinted envelope which reads "Ministry of Defence - Recruiting section" why are people flying right after the draft is announced? What would you say about the news about people fleeing to avoid the draft? They do not have the 50?

There may be people who may simply not know that they can just not go to the office?

Draft != mobilization.

What they had from September till now was "partial mobilization". One can evade it by not taking the subpoena. May not be easy in some circumstances (for example subpoenas can be handed out at work, or at police checkpoints) but my understanding is that most people simply don't resist even if it's as trivial as refusing to open the door or sign a piece of paper.

I don't know why they were fleeing, perhaps thinking that things will get worse, borders will be closed, "partial" becomes "total" and/or more difficult to evade. For example a law is now being proposed to make evading mobilization a crime similar to evading the draft (see below).

Annual draft of 18-year-olds starts now, evading that has much more serious consequences, including jail time. Although as I mentioned above technically draftees are not supposed to be sent to war but this being Russia they likely will be.

I’ll say that this is definitely not an original Russian development - military acceptance in Russia would never have accepted such a miserable product as Geranium-2. I think this is a slightly modified and improved copy of the Iranian Shaheed-136, are you happy now?

Please enlighten us why the glorious Russian military has resorted to using such an inferior Iranian product, instead of their own vastly superior drones or missiles.

@Suchmoon, Harris out dammit facing Stevenson. Cheesy

Yeah unfortunately I had to step out and missed that, although I should have seen it coming. But probably still would have lost even if got some free agent to replace Harris.

Sorry if it's off-topic. But, Topic A related to Topic B, and I am talking about B. So, It's related. You can call me a kid if you want. But, Don't you think my Argument is right? Suppose you manage Winz.io Campaign; what if they start doing shady things? I don't think Campaign managers can do much except stop the campaign.

Yobit did it in the past, and I don't think you have anything to do. So, Why is Royse in question again when is he trying to stay away from the drama and do his things? Don't you think TrollyBad doing it intentionally and trying to keep this drama continuing?

You're fueling this drama yourself, while still blatantly breaking forum rules despite having been unbanned for breaking forum rules. I doubt you could be so daft that you can't see how your "help" is not helping Royse777 at all so I'm assuming you're just trying to take down anyone you can along with you.

Just go away, you're done here.

I accepted the trade. Yahoo message was Note: This trade will be processed on Tuesday, Nov 8 for Week 10. If the traded players have already played in Week 10 and were in a starting lineup, then the trade will be processed for Week 11 instead. If you've set your lineup for future dates, those changes will be reset to match your lineup for the day players are added.

Also, there might be a voting process if the other players in the league votes for or against the trade.

Yeah it gives two days for other teams to veto the trade. I thought it's quicker than that but whatever. Two (or three?) vetos would cancel the trade.
