I believe No human death should be deliberate, especially if done the state.
😂
Without killing, evil people will kill you. Something Ukrainians are experiencing right now. Israelis as well.
We are very lucky that hundreds of Russians are getting deliberately killed every day. It's the reason why Kyiv is still in Ukrainian hands.
If we could get that figure to tens of thousands of Russians killed every day, Kyiv would become a lot safer soon.
We estimate an implied leakage of 2 to 6 cents per aid dollar
It's a deeply deceptive paper. Unsurprisingly, foreign aid improves the local economy, allowing people to save more.
2% to 6% is not an extravagant rate of savings. That's just people putting away a bit for a rainy day... which is exactly what you'd expect in the situations where foreign aid is being delivered.
Are you pro Death Penalty Peter?
Yes. We got civilization by executing about 1% of the population every year for centuries; we killed off criminality in the gene pool.
We should be executing orders of magnitude more people than we do.
High chance that the executioners deliberately botched this because they're actually against execution.
It's all so ridiculous. We know how to kill people completely painlessly: inert gas asphyxiation. Just seal the room and fill it with nitrogen, removing the oxygen.
This is so painless and quick that it's a serious industrial hazard. When I used to work with liquid helium for my job, we always had oxygen % sensors with loud alarms in the room just in case. We also kept some scuba gear around in case we needed to rescue someone.
Hanging works fine too. As does shooting them. And Canada's MAID program has proved that were pretty damn good at killing people.
Russia is in a state of total war, with about half of all tax revenues officially going to the invasion; something like 20% of GDP.
If you are paying taxes in Russia, you are not a civilian. You are part of the Russian military. The onus is on you to either leave, or stop the war. Millions of Russians already have.
Heh, I mostly live in Ukraine... Last winter, at the worst, Russia's attacks left Kyiv with rotating blackouts, giving you just two hours of power a day. Russia also attacked district heating, leaving a lot of the city without heat.
Right now everything is fine. But Russia is expected to try to collapse the Ukrainian power grid again this winter; in front line cities like Sloviansk and Kramatorsk they're even attacking water and sewage. Many neighborhoods in Sloviansk are currently without water for the foreseeable future.
In Kyiv, I just got myself a $1500 backup battery, and will get a generator soon (I bought one for a soldier already to check it the model I wanted works well 😂).
Good.
Destroying Russia's economy is how Ukraine will win. Moscow has had gas rationing before; getting there again is a very important step.
More dead Russians would be good though. Russia murders about that many civilians in Kyiv every day; getting Russians to fear air raids would harm productivity in Russia across the entire economy.
Be sure to split the coins before donating
FYI the best way to do that is to put them into Wasabi Wallet using @Kruw's coordinator and coinjoin them. Every coinjoin using his coordinator is guaranteed to have at least one input that doesn't exist on Lukecoin, thus guaranteeing that the transaction can't be replayed.
Ukraine knows which drones are theirs, and recently setup a dedicated hotline for Romania to be able to identify any Ukrainian drones promptly.
Ukraine said it wasn't one of theirs (and they've had no qualms taking credit for their own off-course drones before – they want to recover them to be able to do failure analysis).
Unless some third county is getting into the sea drone business, this is definitely Russian. Officials are just too cowardly to admit that Russia is scoping them out for an attack.
They still are, though not as much as before as raw oil production and transportation infrastructure is also getting destroyed. But the gasoline and diesel shortages are mainly due to attacks on refineries and fuel transportation, not just a shortage of oil.
Yes, Russia has price controls on gasoline and diesel. The price controls aren't as formal as in some countries. But they are there.
Separately there has developed a black market of entirely unregulated gasoline and diesel sales, with often far higher prices. This is particularly notable in parts of Russia, and Russia occupied Ukraine, where they've on occasion entirely banned the sale of fuel to ordinary people.
It's not just about morale. About 50% of Russian tax revenues is spent on the invasion, much of that going out of the country to pay for weapons parts.
Right now there are Russian farmers who haven't planted their fields because those farmers couldn't get enough diesel at a price they could afford. Those fields would have paid for more missiles to attack Ukraine. Now they don't.
My node forwarded 1,382,310 transactions
I hope you destroy those records. It's dangerous to the privacy of all lightning users how LND and other implementations preserve transaction records indefinitely by default.
...or because they were concerned that the old server's keys might be compromised. So they needed to setup fresh keys.
Lots of possibilities.
A likely consequence of Luke getting kicked out will be the creation of a competitor to the central BIP repo. Having two repos rather than one is less centralized.
because Kraken have to move their node to new hardware and there's still almost no reliable way to do that without closing and opening on a new address
Nonsense. You just copy .lnd over from the old hardware to the new, making sure to never turn LND on again on the old hardware.
I personally did that recently myself.
Go woke, go broke.
