do you feel the same way about reddit?


No, they have sympathetic owners.


Sympathetic to WHOM?

Your side, your feelings, your way of thinking.


Are you a bot?


Users exchanged $100M for the ability to mint an NFT on Ethereum. We can argue about NFTs, but I'm confident these users felt like they received something of real value in return.


Kift might be what you're looking for.


It looks great! Thanks I applied but it looks like it's in early stages as the locations weren't too clear on the website. But the vision is awesome when they finally get going. Thanks for the tip!


I'd assume any data needed for the mining process is transmitted wirelessly. Sending electricity wirelessly is infeasible.


can you expand on this some more?


added thoughts above


Can you give us a few examples of the twitter accounts banned for being anti-putin?


checks twitter. Yep still banned. Cant help sorry.

I was simply discussing the reality that diplomacy is over. That the Russian people would need to show us something rather specific to reopen diplomacy at this point.

This political opinion according to twitter deserves a ban. Well, the reality is that a very large number of people will be breaking this rule the same way. This is without question a simple fact.


Art project for sure, and based on the engagement so far I'd say they've succeeded.

Here is some of their previous work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XEtBHQu4DoM


A film with the aspect ratio of a piece of string. Interesting approach, I guess.


Assuming restrictions on unvaccinated are reducing their rate of exposure, is this result that unexpected?

Edit: While I personally don’t support broad restrictions, I’d actually argue this is evidence that the restrictions are making an impact.


I think that is a big jump to make. There are no restrictions on the unvaxxed. We just have to get tested if we want to take part in society (go to bars, concerts, etc)

The Danish covid passport does not discriminate between vaccination and a negative test. Both give access to everything

Ironically, this means that lots of vaxxed people don't get tested anymore.


Consider that unvaccinated must quarantine before entering countries like France, and are being removed from the workforce and military in countries like USA, reducing the number of edges on their graph.

Maybe I’m missing something but the pattern is what I’d expect at this stage. Most people acknowledge the risk to themselves of traveling or congregating, and subsequently to others who are immunocompromised or unvaccinated. What’s unpredictable is whether new variants will spread more readily, but we’re discovering that now, I guess.


Well quarantine for entry to France and firing soldiers in the US doesn't effect the situation in Denmark :)


Given global travel today, _it could_. My point is the widespread application of these rules is putting vaccinated people together to maintain convenience and isolating unvaccinated people to prevent healthcare overload.


Even with free testing, having to test every other day to do some social activity is a burden. At the very least, you have to go to your local test center to do something not particularly enjoyable, and wait for the results.

I'm sure most of the unvaccinated simply avoid "unnecessary" social events, or didn't do them in the first place (i.e. "I don't socialize, I don't need a vaccine").


Arguably, we've already seen multiple catastrophic crashes in cryptocurrencies.


Brother, you simply don't understand. A 50% swing in a day is just volatility.


And the market rebounded without a government bailout.


Which is pretty clear evidence that those crashes weren't "catastrophic". That doesn't provide any proof that a future crash won't be substantially worse


Similar crashes in the TradFi space would be considered worse than "catastrophic". Media would struggle to find words to describe them.


...and that's the dilemma. Did the market rebound because there's a organic growth of buyers, or did printing tethers out of thin air help this?


Tether maybe used to be a huge risk for the Bitcoin price a few years back. Notice that we are only talking about the $ price here and not the tech.

The market is way more robust now, especially now that Ethereum is so huge and provides way cleaner alternatives like DAI and USDC.
