Crypto enthusiasts don't really care or understand decentralization. If you talk to crypto bros you will realize pretty quickly that a lot of them are very very low IQ morons.

I was at an event and met a crypto bro. He tried to explain to a group of us that btc is like moss and the world is the forest. A couple people legitimately "got it" and began to get excited about crypto.

This is probably the third meme in two days where the top comment says it's not a meme.

Remember when Google hired brilliant, talented engineers to build quality products?

Those were the days.

Boss: kids your age are so incredibly arrogant. You think you deserve the world.

Me: we are the same age.

Boss: huh

This actually happened.

This entire weird conversation aside, Palestine/Israel conflict does not currently affect the West. It could hypothetically escalate until it affected the West I suppose.

Also, Israel is not in NATO. They are a "NATO partner" but are not legally tied to the security alliance.

Okay all you commies get ready for politics 101

First don't rely on morals to make your argument. It, unfortunately, does not change capitalist minds.

Second, frame your argument in capitalist rhetoric. For example you can say, "UBI is important to stimulate the economy by enabling Low-Income-Americans to spend more on essentials."

Seriously, not joking, this is how you change people's minds.

My heart goes out to all of the victims of the Hawaiian fires. That's terrifying to imagine a fire sweeping through a community that quickly.

Really interesting climate data (berkeleyearth.org)
 

Found this on hacker news and wanted to post it here. It's fascinating to see how quickly the Earth is heating and just how anomalous the temperature is this year.

The new law is madness. If this happened in the US people would riot, and rightfully so in my opinion.

Understanding War | Russian Offensive July 8th, 2023, Day 500 (understandingwar.org)
 

I rarely read this sort of thing. It's honestly just very dense and I can't motivate myself to read it every day. That said, with the new cluster bombs getting shipped to Ukraine and some Western pundits accusing the Counteroffensive of stagnation I kind of just wanted to know, "What the actual F is going on in Ukraine right now?"

So my partial TLDR is:

  • It's very early in the counteroffensive to say who is "winning".
  • The source publication believes that the Ukrainian Army is focusing on inflicting disproportionate casualties onto the Russian Military in lieu of focusing on taking back land as quickly as possible.
  • There's a lot of uncertainty inside the Russian political sphere and the upper echelons of the Ministry of Defense.
