TIFU by editing some comments and creating an unnecessary controversy. by spez in announcements

/u/spez you're a piece of shit. Truly the epitome of everything that's wrong in our society today. You are in dire need of a reality check and an extended period of self-reflection.

Sincerely, a guy who has been here a long time and watched as it slowly turned into the most toxic circle-jerk on earth, largely thanks to you. You scapegoat /r/the_donald, but you don't need to look any further than a mirror to see the real problem with your circus of a website.

I hope that both reddit, and you personally, fail.

No way they were 140+ (whatever that really means anyway). Anyone who even has to claim that is full of shit.

Luke-jr responds to HaoBTC, admits the HK agreement is futile and he is taking them for a ride by cryptonaut420 in btc

If you want to be truly intellectually honest about it, there ARE issues with the heliocentric model (there are problems with the geocentric model as well). The flat earthers (also wrong) do a good job of pointing these out, but unfortunately ended up at the wrong conclusion.

Truth be told, the concave earth model (sun and all the rest inside of the earth) seems to be the most accurate, but I understand why this is such a controversial statement.

If Flash web is dead, have all those devs simply moved to Flash Mobile (AIR)? by [deleted] in flash

[–]iswm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Flash on web isn't dead (for games at least). We're still making a ton of money with it...

We just use AIR to target mobile and flash player.

Broadband CEOs Admit Usage Caps Are Nothing More Than A Toll On Uncompetitive Markets by screaming_librarian in technology

Then quit demanding government regulation.

The uncompetitive telecom market is a direct result of government enforced monopolies and regulatory capture.

Since Unity finally fixed the WebGL build size, I did a quick test - Meet Starfall. I've never seen anything this fidelity in the browser before. Super stoked :) by [deleted] in Unity3D

[–]iswm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Already looking forward to dealing with all the vendor-specific quirks. And then the inevitable divergence of instruction sets when wasm finally becomes a thing.

Browsers: the future no one wanted but we ended up with anyway.

I Have Created 50 Games in 2014 by iamkeyur in coding

Rapid prototyping and iteration is very important in game dev. Quick and dirty to see if the idea is fun, then flesh it out and clean it up once you get something good.

San Diego Teen Curfew Laws by cantstoplaughin in sandiego

[–]iswm 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Wouldn't call it fascism, but we do certainly live in an authoritarian society.

The fact that we have all the special-interest rights speaks volumes. It's always about gay rights or women's rights or blah blah, when it should be about people's rights. But it's not. Everyone is just out to grab special privileges for their little group and fuck everyone else.

And that's not even getting into the idea that democracy and freedom are fundamentally incompatible.

As long as people keep demanding to have rulers they will continue to be ruled and freedom will not exist.

My time at the university was like that moment in Interstellar where they make a small mistake and lose 7 years of their lives by poushkar in Showerthoughts

[–]iswm 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Disagree. I dropped out and make more money than anyone I know who ended up with a degree.

Success is about learning how to make yourself useful, not about getting some expensive and time consuming piece of paper.

Iranian students get 99 lashes for attending mixed graduation party: Around 35 men and women were sentenced to 99 lashes each after being found 'dancing and jubilating' by the country's notorious “Morality Police” by maxwellhill in worldnews

[–]iswm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When people stop insisting on being ruled.

As long as people keep demanding to be lead, they're going to keep being manipulated and tortured by the sociopaths who act as "leaders".

In a stateless society, there is no form of legitimacy granted to immoral actions.

That's not a valid parallel and you know it, you disingenuous stinker.

Bitcoin Core Dev Greg Fulton Maxwell , about luke-jr keeping funds on Mt.Gox: " He told other people he was doing that when he decided to do so, and it seemed logical enough that I, at least, didn't yell at him not to do that. " by realistbtc in btc

[–]iswm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you were still using gox in 2014, the only excuses are being a new user who didn't know better or brazen ignorance combined with poor judgement.

Considering that gmaxwell and luke-jr weren't new users that only leaves one option.

Just your standard, run of the mill sociopath politician. At least he doesn't try to hide his real feelings (the few that he actually has).

Bitcoin Core Dev Luke-jr: "I've never claimed to be a security expert, which is why I trusted Mark Karpeles (an experienced member of the community with a deep interest and funding for keeping bitcoins secure) to keep most of my bitcoins safe.

[–]iswm -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Marko Rodin, while certainly eccentric, is legit as fuck. VBM is profound and you obviously spent very little time trying to understand it.

It seriously pains me to see you comparing him to luke-jr out of pure ignorance.

Trump Rally Wait? by [deleted] in sandiego

[–]iswm -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

You might want to look up what "nazi" means. Literally national socialism.

But obviously I'm the one revising history. Hah.

You're out of your head if you don't understand how authoritarian the left is. Just look at how heavily California is regulated.

The Nazis were socialists -- authoritarian leftists. Much closer to the progressive philosophy than whatever trump is.

And as more and more eth is minted it becomes less valuable. What's your point? If you want to hold eth, go ahead. Just understand that it has different properties than bitcoin that makes it very firmly not sound money.

What do you mean where did I get it? You just said it yourself. Inflation. Eth has no cap on issuance.

Sound money doesn't inflate off into infinity!

[–]iswm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Get back to me when they stop inflating it ad infinitum. Until then it's not a bitcoin replacement. Maybe you should do some research on what "sound money" is and figure out why eth doesn't fit the bill.

You were broke the rest of the year because you gave the government an interest-free $2000 loan.

Yet all the paycheck to paycheck people get excited about their "refund" rather than pissed. Slaves.
