DAI is doing just fine and will continue to do so.

> harder to hide stuff there.

AFAIK, there are coinjoin implementations which cannot be traced to date.

Do note that exchanges are not too keen on accepting coinjoined bitcoin.


Technically you don't even need an internet connection: https://blockstream.com/satellite/


How are you going to transmit transactions though?


Transactions are pretty small, as long as you have some way to relay data to a party that has an internet connection, you can submit a transaction. The party you submit the transaction to does not need to be fully trusted, worst they could do is not submit it to the network.


That's for sending messages, not money


Messages are money now.


You can't send Bitcoin with those messages over those satellites only.

They say you need internet or sms additionally


Yes, I think this information hasn't sunk in yet for the majority of people.


It reads as if you don't consider alcohol a drug. Due to its social acceptance people tend to look at alcohol this way but when u give it a better look alcohol should be at least classed as a class 1 drug substance, especially if we're going to keep placing marijuana in the same class as heroine.

edit: typo


I read that the opposite. 'Not with drugs (except alcohol)' would include alcohol in the category of drugs.


I would definately class alcohol as a drug,

but I feel like almost anything food/ drink could be a drug (to me), since if I like it, it makes me want to crave it - for many days/ weeks after.


> I would definately class alcohol as a drug

I agree. It's incredible the lengths that people will go to separate drugs and alcohol.

I always like to phrase it like this ...

If you took alcohol in a pill form, are you drinking or taking drugs?


I'm somewhat surprised this hasn't been attempted as a product actually. Guess it would probably be dreadful for your stomach lining but would be a novel alternative to shots


I would suspect the volume is simply too large.

The “haircut” where you pour a mixer into your mouth, someone pours liquor into your mouth, and then you swallow in a way such that the liquor doesn’t touch your mouth or throat is the closest thing to an “alcohol pill” I can think of. Come to think of it, shots plus chasers are somewhat “pill like” too

Doesn't this imply we need to vaccinate all animals too? What if it mutates in animals and contaminates humans again.


I feel truely upset for the citizens of Israel. It's a shame your government is doing this to you.


Israelis have killed family members of mine for the crime of living in an apartment building that happened to contain a couple of Hamas members.

I have no sympathy for Israel, whatsoever. They take pride in murdering my people and stealing our homes.

That whole neighborhood is now a very charming, up and coming, gentrifying Israeli settlement filled with nice patriotic young jewish families. Stolen in the name of Abraham because of those 2 alleged Hamas members.


> Israelis have killed family members of mine for the crime of living in an apartment building that happened to contain a couple of Hamas members.

Reading this is heart breaking, I'm sorry for your losses. I personally do not approve of the actions Israel is taking against Palestine but unfortunately this is an entirely different conversation and going there will probably cause disagreement across the board, causing posts to be flagged and/or removed.


Policies like this may spark a civil war.


Perhaps, who knows.. It's very ironic to me that most of the c19 cases/infections in Israel are amongst the population who're vaccinated.

I am in the same boat, I dropped all Microsoft products in 2014. There is literally nothing I do with my PC for which I need Microsoft products. It's very unfortunate to keep seeing these things pop up. It's like MS does not care or value the users of the machines and their operating systems.


What a bald statement, claiming lightning does not work without anything backing up your statement.

For reference I'd like to refer to https://1ml.com/ There is currently > 1450 BTC network capacity on the lightning network, if it wouldn't work why would people provide network capacity exceeding 45 million USD.

If I understood correctly he means that you can write a simple tool that reads input from the camera, capture the eyes and as soon as you turn away the pc will shutdown.


This concept was described in Cryptonomicon (1999). I have seen no proof of concept for such an application as of yet, but it would indeed be simple.


You mean a very simple algorithm to detect eyes using the OpenCV (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenCV) written on a RaspberryPi that has a tiny camera which connects to your desired computer via network (be it WiFi or cable) and sends a shutdown command once it no longer detects them? I am pretty sure you can find on SlackOverflow (pun intended) / RaspberryPi forums desired bits of software and make do in maximum one day.
