The interesting thing about the open air prison thing is that it's partially true. There are many people living in extreme poverty in the Strip, but there are also many people living lifestyles beyond your wildest wet dreams. Gaza is one of the best pieces of real estate in the world. Let that sink in. The question isn't is there suffering, it's who is causing it?
Egypt wasn't allowing them in, unless they paid $5k per head. About 80,000 Palestinians left to Egypt, many of them senior Hamas members and their families that got rich from all the humanitarian aid money that was sent to Gaza over the last twenty years.
I second this! I used them for a trip abroad, mostly just to avoid the hassle of buying a physical sim. Might have been my first use of LN outside of SN zaps.
And you changed your name to @ek
I'm back...
Haven't been on here since early October. I'd love to share my adventures, but opsec forbids it.
What have I missed other than the introduction of territories (which I'm totally thrilled about)?
I recently installed Batocera Linux on an old mini PC. It's basically a retro gaming distro that comes pre-installed with dozens of emulators. I didn't want my kids to grow up without experiencing Goldeneye on N64.
Great article, thank you for taking the time! Scary AF.
I guess it doesn't matter how much freedom is granted to people by law; if they aren't willing to fight for it, it ain't there. This wouldn't have worked if people had taken to the streets. Democracies are responsive to loud voters. It also shows how powerful government becomes when the media is on its side.
Gold is difficult to move, otherwise this problem would have been solved by some other country enacting a more liberal policy, causing gold to flow out of the US. I doubt this would work with bitcoin, although some countries will try.
He is intellectually impressive and also an asshole. Doesn't matter, lots of people are assholes. I'll read his books happily, but I probably wouldn't hang out with him.
This is a very good point, but it won't do anything to impact the security of older Pixels, and presumably some other company will step in to profit from the newly-opened market niche. Hopefully.
Dude identifying intellectual leaders is useless! Bitcoin adoption will only happen when we learn to be SOVEREIGN INDIVIDUALS! :-)
@k00b I think there might be an easily-exploitable flaw in the rewards system. May I have a go at it next week? I promise to return anything I earn. It's not a security vulnerability or anything, just gaming the system.
Does it require KYC?
I've recently been thinking of ways to get free shitcoins so I can convert them.
