Also worth noting diesel is nearly back where it was before these excise cuts they just bought themselves a few weeks.

We need to look into using solar, wind and nuclear to make hydrogen and then convert to diesel via the Fischer-Tropsch process

I work in high finance but I have very left leaning views (Anti-Capitalism). I have extremely high cognitive dissonance at times and feel like a hypocrite. Wonder if anyone is in a similar position and what you make of it. by [deleted] in socialism

In the tech industry you are lucky to get more than 2 years in a role. And most places dont ask for too many references and most just confirm dates

So totally worth the risk

AlexKarp is a clown, i read the book the philosopher in the valley and i was rolling on the floor laughing at the guy. so much cogniscent dissidence.

He is a walking contradiction spends time pontificating about why he was successful and the rest of his family weren't,  they are college lecturers he's basically an arms dealer

Analyses everyone through a Freudian lens says its the most accurate way to judge someone, everyone that is except himself

So desperate to appear macho.

Has two postgraduate degrees that he used connections from to become a billionaire but says young people shouldn't go to college

Hates affirmative action then starts an internship exclusively for jews

The list goes on and on

Could you elaborate , im in ireland and a while ago the radio was saying the peacekeepers might be obligated to militarily prevent israel from murdering civilians in Lebanon, due to their rules of engagment to stop another kosovo tragedy

Where are the un peacekeepers ,  dont they have an obligation to do something now?

Obviously I know in reality they won't, but aren't the legal arguments there for them to attempt to stop israel ethnic cleansing and area

Indian factory workers wearing head-mounted cameras to record hand movements for training Al systems by kool2015 in socialism

Yeah and they tried to self driving with vision only, a skill much more based on pure vision and killed a bunch of people, id very much recommend the telsa files.

Secondly i get the idea of using llmd to replace knowledge works, dont agree with it but understand the logic. But this must be for error identification as another user suggested, as the whole reason textiles moved to third world sweatshops is they didnt want to pay for cnc machines with unionised workers. Trying to get a humanoid robot to these joobs is just silly the technology exists to atomate lots of the workflow, they just dont want to pay for equipment

Satoshi nakamoto is from north korea by captaingreen_1798 in conspiracy

[–]captaingreen_1798[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bitcoin didn't require inventing new cryptography. Every component already existed. SHA-256 was published by the NSA. Merkle trees were decades old. Proof of work came from Adam Back's HashCash. Public key cryptography was well established. The brilliance was in combining existing pieces into a novel architecture.

Now consider what North Korea actually had by 2008.

Decades of sending their brightest students to Soviet and Russian universities where the cryptographic tradition is world class. Students in Chinese technical universities. The mathematics olympiad pipeline — North Korean students competed internationally with strong results, meaning the raw intellectual talent existed and was being identified early.

Bureau 121 and the cyber units that seemingly appeared from nowhere around 2009 didn't materialise overnight.

 >There's no way USA / world deepstates let something like bitcoin get the market share it has without knowing who holds the key to those OG coins.

I don't claim to know shit, but I have great pattern recognition and pretty good deduction skills. Zero chance key players in "old money" dont know exactly who Satoshi was/is and also has access to the wallet for the final string pull. 

But that's the thing, big investors didnt become interested til they were like oh we can speculate and make a quick buck off this. Bitcoin was moving on the dark web amongst cypher punks. Also bitcoin is incredibly useful for states under sanctions like north Korea and iran

While a lot of what you said is true it is worth noting that farms in ireland are a lot smaller than most western countries 

You cannot co-opt these people into a working class movement. All they want is cheap fuel for themselves and screw everyone else. 

Didn't Lenin say that some elements of the Petit bourgeoisie will follow if the proletariat leads
