Looks to me like blatant attempt to monetize traffic by trying to create controversy.

I watched part 2 (sociopaths) today as I drove to work in my T/A. It was a FANTASTIC video. As usual, Stef hits it out of the ballpark.
Do you remember the part where he talks about how sociopaths respond to being unmasked? |

Anyone who's made it through the second video should find this thread throughly amusing so far.

How many people are aware that you can do anonymous IRC over Freenet? There's already an existing #bitcoin channel in FLIP that could stand to have some more traffic. |

You made this thread. I could care less for the video content. The description you made in the original post imply that sociopaths are fascists (or fascists are sociopaths). I am challenging you to explain what relates a political regime with a psychological disorder.
 Who the fuck are you to make demands? Look at the presented material or don't but in any case I'm not going to hand feed it to you just because you're acting like a scary Internet bully. If you don't care about the video content there's no reason for you to post in this thread. |

However, a doomsday device needn't be airborne or safe to handle, it just needs to be BIG so it pollutes the atmosphere a lot, and maybe even cracks the Earth's crust. Btw I'm just kidding, guys. I know nothing!  All joking aside, at a minimum it needs to be safe enough that the people building it don't die of radiation poisoning prior to completing it. OK, so you can make a bomb from it, just not a practical one. Yes. Anyone who has the ability to overcome the technical challenges involved in making a U233 weapon would never do it - if they are that advanced there's no reason for them to bother with U233 when far easier materials exist. |

So, where is the explanation followed by conclusive evidence?
In the videos you didn't watch, and in the listed sources you didn't read. |

The thorium is secretly burned in small 'research' reactors to produce unregistered uranium for the doomsday machine.  Except you can't make a bomb from U233. This isn't true. You can make a bomb from U233 (the US detonated one once) but it's far more difficult, expensive and unreliable than making it from U-235 or plutonium. The problem is U232 contamination, which causes it to be highly radioactive. You can machine plutonium in relative safety as long as you're careful to collect the dust so nobody inhales it. You need several inches of lead between you and a mass of U233. The hard gamma radiation a critical mass of U233 emits also isn't very good for sensitive electronics, especially the kinds that you need in aircraft or missiles. It's this difficulty in handling that makes U233 impractical for weapons. In a LFTR the radiation isn't a problem. Nobody ever has to handle the U233 - it just gets pumped from between several stationary tanks which are easily shielded. |

I understand that it's much easier for someone from Finland to promote Bitcoin to Iran than it is for someone who is from the US. It's a delicate situation. Personally I'm taking a strong stance on this one and I'm forced to call cowardice on certain people, no choice.
I think it's inevitable that Bitcoin starts to get more attention and if this is it, then so be it. Bitcoin either can take the heat or it can't. We'll see. It will happen eventually anyway and there is really no way to stop Bitcoin from being used in Iran by us, unless we want to become exactly what we're opposing.
Again, it's easier for me to talk like this when I'm from Finland. I understand the difficulty of this from the point of view of people in the US. However, this is one of those things that forces the anarchist inside me to come out. This is precisely why tools like Tor and Freenet are so valuable. These kinds of discussions can happen in ways that greatly reduce the participants' susceptibility to retaliation. |

Bitcoin is currently essentially useless for the regular joe in Western countries. You read it correctly, totally useless. In countries such as Iran or Argentina, it's far from useless. It's potentially a saviour. Your statement is true if and only if the same kinds of currency controls and devaluations that have occurred in other countries that can't get their fiscal house in order never come to the Western countries. |

Learn to emulate the transient characteristics of 'the rest of us' or be outed as an evil element / sociopath.
This has been tried before. See the Cultural Revolution. Actually it's more a matter of just teaching their prey the skill of recognizing a sociopath's intellectual pollution for what it is. Using the power of language to make a peaceful exercise of voluntary association appear equal to murder is a great example. Thanks for the demonstration. |

What you propose is not to remove the law, but to make the law unpredictable. i.e. replace moderate repression with repression of the most extreme kind.
I can see how you'd interpret it that way, if you are a sociopath. For the rest of us who do have a conscience it's a a very predictable way to respond to evil. |

So, from what little I've seen of it, I'm guessing it basically functions the same as Bitcoin + OTC, except the users can't really tell the difference between money and credit, and whenever a loan defaults it just gets quietly converted into inflation. Issuing loans tends to cause price inflation. Repaying the loans tends to cause price deflation. Defaulting on a loan has the same effect as repaying it except faster. |

What makes religious justifications for child abuse so obscene is not that the proponents hold up as their highest moral ideal the behaviour of bronze age barbarians, not the complete blindness to extensive evidence proving the harm their actions cause, and not even the deplorable lack of empathy with their own children that should clue them in to the fact that something's wrong.
What makes religious justifications for child abuse so obscene is that people can enter into important discussions about the care, nurturing and education of young human beings, bring up fairy tales about their imaginary friends, and expect to be taken seriously.
That is beyond depraved.

Don't worry, he's got two very young daughters. He'll get his due in another 12 years or so. Alternately, you'll get your due when the world changes and starts treating all parents who didn't renounce the use of force against children when they had the chance as social pariahs, to live out their twilight years isolated and alone. It's possible you could be safe though. It might not happen this generation. Maybe. |

If I have an ongoing business relationship with a company and we are both using HD wallets I'd like the ability to exchange key parameters exactly once so that each one of us can generate an arbitrary number of unique addresses as needed for each future transaction.

The cash deposits to banks have been suspended as we’ve had a number of problems with our partner.
Until these problems are resolved, we won’t be accepting the cash deposits at banks. Based on my experience today this is a major blow to the usability of your service. The first time I use BitInstant I took the deposit form and my money to a nearby Wells Fargo branch, was in and out in about 2 minutes, and had my bitcoins 20 minutes later. Today I had to go to three different MoneyGram locations before somebody was able to figure out how process the transfer. The cashier at CVS directed to me to a red phone that looks like it came right of the 1980s, back when touch tone phones were still a novelty. I walked out of there. The cashier at Albertsons was helpful and sympathetic but kept getting "invalid account" errors. The cashier at WalMart did manage to do it after 10 minutes and two attempts, although I had to fill out a form that contained all the same information that was on the deposit form I brought with me and I felt like I was trapped in a "People of Walmart" image macro the entire time. tl;dr: MoneyGram sucks. If there's any possible way to bring bank deposits your services would be much more pleasant to use. |

All this abstract talk of restitution and non state-based is a pointless distraction from the subject of the tread.
What is important and relevant to parenting is that, historical propaganda notwithstanding, children owe no obligations to their parents. The act of being born does not incur a debt, no contract can be implied by which a child must repay parental support since the child did not choose to be born.
Adult relationships are voluntary, and if adult children are not satisfied with the care and attention they received while subject to their parents they are fully free to leave the relationship.
Everybody knows this, which is why corrupt parents have to spend so much time propagandizing their children with the myths of filial obligation. Deep down they know they don't deserve one second of their children's time on their own merits so they must invent obligations to bind their adult children to them in spite of not deserving it.
