Yes well, some claim it's "securities", there is no clear law for that. Can I give you, for example, Amazon shared and get a coffee or a pizza ? Directly, not liquidate it first.

Let's find out how the Ripple lawsuit is going to end, there is good chance to win it.

The woke up one day and they "hey this crypto is a threat to our dollar'. Gensler said "we don't need any more digital currencies, we have USD, EUR, YEN". And that for centuries there was no need to transfer value through more than one medium. That can explain their views clearly.

They want more or less government spending ? They accept that the structure of the family will change ? Example, families with more than two parents (that is a real possibility due to overpopulation). They want less or more police ? Reform the prison system (even dissolve it), maybe ? What are their views on immigration ? Multiculturalism ? Should we tax the wealthy more or less ?

Of course, there are different political ideologies. It's not just a popularity contest.

In 1949 (just after WW2), Einstein wrote: "The economic anarchy of capitalist society as it exists today is, in my opinion, the real source of the evil."

Re:Emacs is special regarding UIs on Thursday September 10, 2020 @05:59PM (#24436987)
Well, let's see what software engineers use Emacs.

Donald Knuth. Author of "the art of computer programming" and many contributions in computer science.

Linus Torvalds. Original author of Linux (the most widely used kernel) & git (most widely distributed version control). In fact, he wrote his own version of emacs. He doesn't do much, if at all, coding now.

Joe Armstrong. Author of Erlang.

Guido van Rossum. Author of Python.

Yukihiro Matsumoto. Author of Ruby.

Rich Hickey. Author of Clojure.

Andrei Alexandrescu. Author of D.

Xavier Leroy. Author of OCaml.

Michael Widenius. Author of MySQL & MariaDB.

Guy Steele. Co-author of Scheme.

Stephen Wolfram. Physicist, computer scientist & author of Mathematica.

Peter Norvig. Research director at Google & well known Lisper.

RMS. Well, original author of GCC, Emacs & the GNU system.

All of them, apparently, don't require one of those "powerful" IDEs.
