Non-native speaker I think. It was unambiguously supportive of the unarmed party in the conflict.

The state always and invariably brings violence with it.

Time for our sites to switch to keycdn or cachefly. I am not going to support cloudflare with my business any more.

That being the case, then the present value of Bitcoin is much higher than it would be with no expectation of future forks. It is like holding shares in a company which spins-off a division to increase shareholder value.

Despots rarely give up without a fight. I question whether Catalans are willing to pay with their blood to gain their freedom. Clearly Rajoy is happy to shed their blood in order to keep them in thralldom.

And: Is the question empirical or analytic? It is hard to discuss such matters without an agreed framework, definitions. The definitions for these terms are a long-standing analytic conundrum.

Abstractly, it is hard to understand how any performance could require consciousness unless consciousness is defined as a class of performance. If it is, then the question boils down to "Is performance class I a proper subset of performance class C?" Which is, prima facie, an analytic question.

For me, a marginal pay increase is only a differentiator when comparing two otherwise equally ranked opportunities. I once left a 300k job to take a 180k job on the basis of work content, cultural fit, and optionality. But, I make most of my money by holding XMR, so the difference in pay doesn't determine my quality of life - nor my ability to exercise charity - which is, practically, the same thing.

If all you've got is a foot-gun, everything looks like a foot.

I agree that it is a bad analogy, but I think it goes far beyond supply and demand differences: Music is performed mostly by muscle memory, "system 1", while code is developed mostly by ratiocination, "system 2".

Fine artists usually produce works on speculation. Craft persons usually produce on a cottage-industrial basis, essentially commodity piecework. There are a lot of ways to get paid, beyond the two you highlight, so the parallels are not as clear as you appear to be assuming.

You have a rather rosy view of medicine and gardening. Your view of plumbing and dentistry aligns with my own, however.

People who pay taxes in USD tend to use USD as a numeraire. IIRC in New Hampshire you can pay taxes in BTC.

Indeed, and the privacy implications of centralized mixers are doubleplus ungood.

Given that alphabay was busted within 96 hours of accepting zcash, and that both Greene and Zooko have said they could backdoor it for a subpeona, i find it hard to take zcash seriously. TLA coin.

I think what you mean is that Apple platforms will change and break applications in unpredictable ways.
