Fair. Crypto is not just ftx/investment tho. It’s also a mean to transfer wealth outside of your country. It might be risky but any option is better than none

I don’t understand your point. Are you implying that people don’t have access to western finance because they are not sophisticated enough? If you don’t luck into being born with good citizenship lots of things you might take for granted are inaccessible. It has nothing to do with level of sophistication

I didn't intend to put a blame of invasion on a single soldier. But I do put blame on a soldier, that he came to another country to kill people there for no good reason. There is a choice

This is quite sad that your reasons for lack of support of the wars are that you (an invader) had a bad time there, not that you were part of the force destabilising and destroying another country

You are mistaking journalism for propaganda if that's your opinion

> Nobody cares about social responsibility

I'm not gonna argue whether people must care about it or not. But saying that nobody does is simply not true and sounds like an attempt to excuse yourself. I know quite a lot of people who made career decisions which did not maximise their profit in favour of not doing things your conscience will torment you about.

They are definitely not doing identification (1:whole_database) for payment, that would be ridiculous.

I'm sure they are matching against very small subset. Most likely they are getting data from mobile phone operators on who's currently around the entrance

No need to generalise based on your limited experience if you are unfamiliar with situation in Belarus

> and the compiler doesn't even warn you that size is bigger than x

That's not true tho, compiler with reasonable flags set will definitely warn you and if you really don't like this kind of code you can force compiler to issue an error instead

I strongly disagree with that idea. Voters must know exactly how much they are paying for something for them to care about efficiency of government spendings. What you are proposing is how things currently work in Russia and trust me you don't want that

It's impossible to have HN-like discussions if platform targets general population
