The stupidity of laptop design in the last 10 years is astounding. All of them too big, too thin and as delicate as a piece of glass. MOST top 10 laptop lists don't include a single ThinkPad and it just goes to show show bat-shit insane most people are.
Who wants a lap top that's going to break if dropped? Thinkpad is the ONLY manufacture that is on the right track and its not even on the radar of 99% of users and reviewers.
Schools have stayed closed far longer than most health officials recommend. Many of our new daily routines are nothing more than "security theater". We know that kids essentially don't get sick and spread at very low rates and sterilizing surfaces, including using hand sanitizer, does little to nothing but we keep up up because we are scared.
Finally, the beginning of the end to the Drug War.
If Biden has a brain and guts he will accelerate this trend. With Kamala Harris as VP, a woman who made her career locking up minor drug offenders, it will be an uphill battle. I guess being a black woman counts for more than having a horrible track record these days.
Robert Reich's book, The System did a GREAT job explaining this. He talks about how Trump was the only one even pretending to listen. Now, hilariously, instead of taking his lead the liberals have decided to call 1/2 the county raciest and sexist.
I hate Trump and always have, but I see what he did and why it worked. I also see why insisting that 1/2 the country only liked him because they are raciest is just making things worse. LOL, this country deserves to fail.
This time is different. Last time Bitcoin Core (BTC) still was semi-functional as Digital Peer-to-Peer Cash as it was intended, the BTC of today has been twisted into an unrecognizable "settlement layer" and digital Ponzi scheme with almost no real world use case.
Great article, so glad to see the hearts of HN softening on Bitcoin. A few important points the article still missed.
1) Bitcoin Core (BTC) is not Bitcoin (capital B) according the the original White Paper and the subsequent writings of Satoshi Nakamoto. The Bitcoin Core GitHub repo was hijacked years ago, socially engineered by Greg Maxwell the his company Blockstream away from its original maintainer Gavin Andresen.
2) Bitcoin was designed to be Digital Cash, with low fees and instant transactions capable of competing with Visa. After wrestling the GitHub repo away from Andresen Blockstream funded developers and paid trolls started promoting an idea to limit the block size to 1 mb in direct opposition to what Satoshi intended.
3) Bitcoin (BTC) is a failed project by its very own definition, however, the original goals of Bitcoin live on in other projects like Monero, Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum and many others.
4) Bitcoin (BTC) is at best the worlds greatest digital Ponzi scheme and is a far cry from the fast and cheap Peer-to-Peer Digital Cash Satoshi built. Anyone pushing BTC today is either a scammer or too uninformed to know better.
They are SO over the top. Every single interface is fine. Never have I not been able to figure something out at WORST with a quick Google search.
HN has a few reactions that I will never understand. The idea that they are being "tracked" against their will, that Google has bad UI and that Bitcoin is worthless.
I just chalk it up to smart people thinking they should be smart about everything.
Its non-sense to ask someone to say the lives of any race "matter". It might be a great catch phrase for a movement but what an absolutely stupid thing to demand a person state. Unless a person is actively KILLING people based on their race, to ask them to state that their lives matter is, again, just stupid.
I want you to say the lives of Japanese people matter. Say it, why won't you say it? You must hate Japanese people apparently...
So not promoting people because they are black is now enough to get called raciest? I guess that's exactly how Kamala Harris has made it to where she is.
