I'm clearly not with the program, but now I get it.

Russia is a threat! Because, SHUT UP!

Rofl. Russia's literally war'ing other nations (Ukraine), but "they're not a threat"; grow the fuck up kiddo and take a look outside your echo chamber at the real world.

Your date's wrong on the published date of that article. Originally published in 2016 at the latest, modified 2018.

The comments are from 2016.





When a random blog says these numbers should be $3-4 per watt, and I'm seeing actual wholesalers selling for $0.20-$0.50; someone's gotta be lying.

Russian geopolitical expansion must be stopped; they shouldn't be able to seize the Sea of Azov.

There's a couple type of disasters / issues.

Financial collapse doesn't mean all our services go down; just people are unable to afford most of the services. We saw this during the 2008-2009 recession. The Internet kept on functionining.

Even during the next great depression, we'll still have international connectivity and communication allowing P2P systems like BTC exist.

What I'm concerned about is America defaulting on its debt; which would make the dollar nearly worthless to everyone else.

I wonder if Jacob Wohl will be accountable for slander laws.

Surefire Intelligence is such an oxymoron company name; might as well be Surefire Ignorance.

Avenatti also floated the possibility of taking legal action against TMZ for the story, which originally identified the woman involved as the lawyer’s estranged wife, Lisa-Storie Avenatti. He tweeted that the person who wrote and approved the article “better get their checkbook ready” because the story was “purposely malicious and false.”

“It was designed to harm Lisa, me and my family and we are going to expose TMZ for what they did,” he tweeted. “No journalist should rely on or defend garbage like that.”

What has Russia got to do with it?

Quote
Whether foreign funds secretly supported the Brexit movement has become the focus of intense speculation and investigation in the U.K. The British probes, in many respects, are parallel to the Robert Mueller investigation of possible Russian support for Trump’s 2016 campaign. Banks has drawn particular scrutiny because his business spent some nine million pounds supporting the Brexit campaign, making him the country’s single largest political-campaign donor by far, despite questions about whether he had the personal wealth to contribute that much on his own. Banks has insisted that his contributions were legal, and that foreign sources, including Russia, contributed no funds. But multiple British agencies have launched inquiries, including a criminal investigation into Banks’s role by the National Crime Agency, the U.K.’s equivalent to the F.B.I.

First article; Russia laundering money through Banks.

You don't know a damned thing about science.

I don't know any science? Fuck off with that shit you dumb cunt. I'm formally educated with a scientific degree. What fucking qualifications do you have you? ...

The method of scientific inquiry, formulation of proper hypothesis, critical review of methods and results. The kind of thinking that results in findings which are true and accurate?

Alright guy; you refused to look at the evidence that I presented after stating "no evidence". You didn't refute the existing evidence and you cannot deny the evidence exists. You shoved your head in the sand. That's the reason people are skeptical about climate change because they REFUSE to see the evidence.

Back then, my country was the number 1 exporter of rice, but my government doesn't believe that agriculture is the first step to industrialization, and now we are importing it. My family, both my mom and dad, were from a family of farmers, but most of them sold their agricultural lands, and their excuse is that money generated from farming is not worthy enough for their hardwork. Too much competition leads to excess of food, the middleman who buys their crop back then said that there is too much rice to consume. Today, the middleman's excuse of buying the crops harvested is still the same. I'm not sure who should I believe, the middleman who says that there is too much rice, or my government who always kept on importing rice just to fill the scarcity.

EDIT: I do own an agricultural land, but it's not income generating, which part of the class should I belong? I'm not basically paying tax, FYI.

I wish I had a lot of agricultural land for development purposes. There's so many things you can utilize that land for.

However, besides the inherent value of land itself; the problem there seems the middle-man more than anything. If you were a rice farmer and grew everyone's rice, they'd be happy with you in a simple system; unless your rice was the worst rice ever...

Anyway, what're talking about again? I already think I stated the 'best' solution to the problem; which is technology and development Smiley

Communism is only fair when it's anacho-communism or something similar. People need their absolute liberties regardless of the cost to "society"; they exist for explicit purposes of keeping personal freedoms.

Microsoft having government data is kinda sketchy.

At least Clinton had her own email server that stored the data locally rather than trusting "the cloud".

I'd like to see a full investigation into the issue before chanting "lock her up".

However, just with the public information on Trump, I can easily say "lock him up".

From what I see, most problems from the different economical or ideological systems come from representative government which is just elective dictatorship with extra step. If you can acti directly in the code as you say, then you create something completely different where you can apply your ideology/economic ideas.

Representative democracy used to be effective when a single individual didn't represent literally hundreds of thousands of individuals.

Originally, there was a single congressional member per around 40-60k citizens. Now it's closer to 250k-500k citizens.

It's crazy to think that individuals can be represented by someone that's job is to represent 250-500k other people.

I've proposed implementing a liquid democracy system to replace the house of representatives, and I'll probably be running for my state house on that platform; which the individual voice matters.

I'm not anti solar panel, I'm pro, lets do more solar panel research and advancement before bothering to install them, so we don't need to "upgrade" them as frequently as people upgrade their phones.

Solar panels are the greatest they ever have been, not "just as the moment". It's not an instantaneous improvement, but it's still improvement each year. They will only get better with time, but they require the investment to make worthy. Maybe once these ones break, we'll have 50% efficient panels and replace them with 500 watt models / sq meter instead of 200 watt, like 30 years from now.

I guess you could argue with the trade war, it would be a bad time to buy, but I see constant deals on them less than $0.40 / watt (monocrystalline) and think "jesus, that's only like a couple years to offset my electricity bill", then I realize most of the cost is labor and converters (which is kinda dumb, because I run mostly DC heavy items... so... maybe I should just eliminate the step to AC back to DC). However; I digress.


There's a certain advantage to solar over coal. Once you set them, you can forget them. Coal you need someone loading up the hopper and mining... ya know, the coal.

The idea that solar panels are a toy is kinda silly. They're quite powerful and large installations are becoming more cost effective than other means of energy generation.

"oh, 100% of the papers don't support it, so it's bogus. It's only 97%"

Like do you even listen to yourself? Literally linked to a study saying the overwhelming amount of papers support climate change while a few may not suggest a coloration to humans. You're saying "these papers exist because there's not 100% accuracy". But you've yet to link to any papers. You haven't disproven the original 980 some that support claim change....
You've neither quoted the link properly or understood it, or even have a clue what I said.

Also, can you try not to talk like a ten year old?

Thanks.

Can you try to refute scientific argument rather than resort to childish name calling?

Unions dude. When workers striked massively, humans changed. We went from 12 hour days 6 days a week to 8 hours a day, 5 days a week.

Now it's "earth strike" -- however, no unions exists to protect jobs and it's a damned shame.

Journalist are spies? Rofl. The way to properly deal with spies isn't private execution; not in the civilized world.

We have public trials; not held in foreign consultants.
