There are a lot of problems with that stance and I do not have the energy to point them all out, but here is the main one I see.

If you say something in private is illegal, how do you enforce it? Many harmful drugs are illegal, for example, so we justify invasions of privacy with searches of a suspect because the harm of the drugs is so great we are okay with violating people like that.

When you say digital content is illegal in private it justifies searching digital content for enforcement. But the trouble with this is it is digital content and programs can be used to search it...continuously. This sort of search needs to scan EVERYTHING of yours in private. Once you have that, they can add more search criteria and you won't even know it's happening.

You have no idea how bad this can get. I hope that you don't find out.

Brazil has a LOT of electrical issues.

It is also pretty expensive to import appropriate gear, and it shows.

Between a sort of disregard for electrical safety, hordes of animals chewing on wires, and the difficulty of importing modern electrical equipment, it is an electrical nightmare.

It doesn't help that a lot of electrical generation is modern, there is a lot of electricity available, but the actual application of it in last mile is atrocious.

All this to say it is of no surprise an electrical fire occurred, if that is the cause.

Bitcoin was publicly released with full code and no pre-mining. It could not be patented for this reason.

The original creator is still unknown and has never moved their coins.

This strategy is the way.

It's true and very sad.

They claim the soy farming won't be allowed to deforest further, but the more land used for soy, the less for cattle. That can push cattle ranchers deeper into forested land and the effect is the same.

I hope this can be solved soon. The Amazon is a precious, ancient treasure of Earth.

Soy farming is destructive to natural ecosystems. A shame for the farmers in the US, but the nature will be glad and that is more valuable. It does depend on the replacement crop.

I am worried about Brazilian's nature with the increasing soy farming. Soy needs terrain that competes with beautiful native plants, and with increasing production, more land will be lost, and more water consumed.

The good news is that soy farming makes more sense in Brazil. Higher rainfall means less diverted water. It is actually more ecologically cost effective. Hopefully there will not be much more forest displacement.

Don't ponder.

We're already doing it.

A third of games? What are you smoking?

Over 95% of games in my experience work on Linux, and perform better than windows.

What kind of people are still using Windows, anyway? That supports one of the most terrible companies on the planet, invades your privacy, worms into your brain, and takes over your hardware...all for your 1 or 2 games you want to play?

This Steam Machine is going to be a blowout success. Linux gaming is superior in nearly every way. It's cheaper, it's more ethical, and it gives you back control.

Download Signal Private Messenger.

Create local groups.

Organize there.

Migrate any sensitive discussion to Signal. If possible, migrate all messaging to encrypted traffic. By using encrypted traffic you safeguard encrypted tactical exchange via obfuscation. A drop in an ocean is less identifiable than a drop in a pond.

Always turn on disappearing messages. Have a backup mechanism for when they take down Signal, as it is inevitable.

You've been invaded. Act accordingly.

This paper is shit.

https://jhap.du.ac.ir/article_488_8e072972f66d1fb748b47244c4813c86.pdf

They proved absolutely nothing.

For instance, they treat physics as a formal axiomatic system, which is fine for a human model of the physical world, but not for the physical world itself.

You can't say something is "unprovable" and make a logical leap to saying it is "physically undecidable." Gödel-incompleteness produces unprovable sentences inside a formal system, it doesn’t imply that physical observables correspond to those sentences.

I could go on but the paper is 12 short pages of non-sequiturs and logical leaps, with references to invoke formality, it's a joke that an article like this is being passed around and taken as reality.

Buddhism has a more Christian example of Christ-like behavior concerning a "living being Satan". That is to say, if "living being Jesus" was real, he would be a Bodhisattva, perhaps akin to Kṣitigarbha.

In the story, Bodhisattva Kṣitigarbha vowed:

“Until the hells are empty, I will not become a Buddha.

Only when all sentient beings are saved will I attain enlightenment.”

It is a vow to never abandon any being regardless of their state.

I like that idea. Boundless love and compassion doesn't stop at the bounds of some hell. It is boundless. It has boundless time, so it will spend an eternity reaching out to even cyclic hells.

Let's clarify some things:

• This is criminal, not civil. The board of directors and executive leadership should be held criminally liable.
• polluting waters directly leads to suffering and death on a mass scale. It would not an exaggeration to compare it to a weapon of mass destruction.
• the board of directors and executive leadership are, therefore, mass murderers and should be prosecuted as such.
• the business should be dissolved and sold off. Major shareholders should be on the hook to repair all the damage done by the company.

Until we all start internalizing this way of thinking, nothing will ever change. Fines will not fix anything. The corporate shield is a lie. When your company kills people at this scale, your liability shielding is irrelevant.

So they discovered faulty code and made some money?

Can anyone explain to me how this is illegal?

The code is a contract. If someone writes bad code and loses money, then write better code - just like if someone writes a bad legal contract and loses money.

The justice system is awful.
