Watching this video i came to a part that talks about volcanoes producing more co2 than humans https://youtu.be/D-m09lKtYT4?t=24m49s. This is what a agw believer website says about it https://www.skepticalscience.com/volcanoes-and-global-warming.htm

Any thoughts from the people here who spend a lot more time studying this stuff than i do? If it is a myth than any idea where it comes from? What might have been the source used to produce this documentary?

Lol its not a commitment. I just start watching videos and turn them off as soon as I don't feel like watching any more. I watched about half of this one. All of the information that was delivered in that half was interesting.

and for those who haven't a passing familiarity with various issues, definitions, disputes, etc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTTaXqVEGkU

im not a huge fan of his but i like some of his stuff, this being one of the ones i liked.

Yes I definitely would.

Its really cool what you are doing but im not willing to trust someone on the darknet with my funds. You should just provide order matching and multisig escrow on the darknet. I would be more than willing to pay for that service. And the funds used to pay for your service could also double as some assurance that the other party would finish the transaction after the orders had been matched.

just my 0.02BTC

It makes me sad too but it has enough other things going for it to allow me to get over the fact that it is senselessly destroying resources. If some competent developer were to come along and fork over to pos, I would move a portion of my holdings over to that fork. So long as block authors were selected randomly and not with something like peercoins coinage concept.

I know this isn't speculation so I wont belabor the point. But anyone who hasn't seen the polo go look. Holy satan.

Wonder how many shorts were forced to cover. The thought of that just makes me happy.

Dont give them ideas. Some ego fascist will probably actually invent some sort of algae filled face mask, and then its just one, imagined or otherwise, crisis away from a government anti agw face mask mandate.

Quick hand me another eye patch, shes sprung another leak cap'n.

I hope you will excuse my skepticism. Wealthy people tend to be busy people.

Man: so what are you doing later?
Woman: finishing my book.

Bytecoin has the vast majoirity of the units held by a single entity. So only a tiny fraction of it is trading on the market. Yet the market capitalization is a function of the last agreed upon price times the entire currency supply. So its basically a trick and the market capitalization value is completely meaningless. If the big holder sold even a tiny fraction of his holding he would drive the price down to one over infinity. So basically, the market cap of bytecoin couldn't possibly be more meaningless. May as well consult an astrologer.

Great minds aye.

Just so you know, I said "the powers that be" because I was quoting. I am head of the action committee to replace this awkward phrase with the actual real word that means the same thing. Cryptarchy. Its a powerful idea wrapped up in a powerful word. Use it. Spread it.

The day someone as perpetually bearish as you buys in, do let me know, ill double down on that day.

Hey thanks for taking the time to see me boss. I just wanted to tell you something that I think is important. Something that I think you should know. This job that I do; This job that I spent 8 years studying sacrificing to get; This job that I spent 8 years sleeping only 4 hours a night; 8 years with no social life; 8 years reading the equivalent of a book a day; 8 years studying for high pressure tests; This job that i spent an entire year writing a dissertation for; This job that i went 1/2 a million dollars in debt to get; This job that pays 200,000 dollars a year; This job that has great benefits; I just wanted to tell you that you are totally wasting your money by employing me. I just wanted to tell you that 9/10 of the people with my occupation who are currently employed shouldn't be. That almost certainly includes me. I just wanted you to know that i should be fired and even though im 40 years old I should have to go back to school and do that same horrifying process over again. It's ok ill be back at an entry level job by the age of 48. So yea. Glad I could get that off my chest boss. What? You mean to tell me no one else has told you this already? You mean to tell me that 97% of people with my job dont tell you all these things that i just said? That's astonishing! Who could have possibly imagined that 97% of people in my position wouldn't tell you that they ought to be fired. I just dont understand the world any more.

I sort of think its great when governments do this sort of thing. It truly would be a disparaging development if this meant that cryptographers were going to stop communicating with each other. But that would be akin to believing that if the government repealed the laws of gravity than we would all float away.

This will get cryptography researchers heads out of the clouds and back down to earth. They will stop pontificating about abstract notions and instead start thinking about security in a very practical way.

Additionally all the most important minds in the fight against the state will now develop a culture of anti statism. Meaning they will now be applying their discipline towards practical ways of combating and undermining the state.

Also i love the way my wife thinks about these things. Most people would be tempted to despair of this. But i showed her this story and the very first thing she said was "wow the powers that be must be terrified in australia". Instead of seeing this as a depressing development she instantly saw it as a sign that the good guys are winning. And we are. Thanks to communities just like this one.

Just another example of a government shooting its self in the foot. I couldn't be more delighted.

I'm getting so tired of (well meaning citizen helps *optional*) benevolent government saving the day shows. This one honestly wasn't nearly as much of a slap across the face with it as some others i have tried. See: forever or psych or izombie (haven't actually seen this one just read the description, but it pretty much says as much in the description) or homeland or csi or criminal minds or castle or figuratively literally 90% of all tv shows. Almost all tv it seems is either witting or unwitting propaganda for the state and i just cant handle it any more. So I'm sort of jaded and cynical and always looking and always on hyper alert looking for this. I detected a hint of it, good guy government saving the day from evil businessman. So I'm a bit concerned but ill admit it was different enough that it needs more of a chance. Ill probably go back and watch the second episode.

Also there was a bit of another concerning theme here that i see starting to materialize. The theme of government needs to be able to operate extra judicially inorder to be effective. The reason it performs so badly as it stands now is the outmoded limitations placed on it by out of date out of touch laws. If it can just act outside of these confines than it can actually get things done and make the world a better place. We see this in like all of the super hero shows and movies and in true detectives for example. I have to watch more to see if thats a message in this show.

I know some will say its just entertainment just sit back and enjoy it and stop analyzing it. But you know how they say you are what you eat. This is even more true of the things that you feed your brain.

wow good ratings on imdb. im going into this one blind. didnt even read the synopsis.
