The only realistic way to short tether is to take a DeFi Tether loan and use some other stablecoin (You must trust that it's peg will hold longer than USDT's) as collateral.
1. Females evolve to detect males with the bad genes. Population will dip but recover. By opening this evolutionary pathway we could enhance the mosquitoes in unintended ways.
2. Some males will evolve genes which disable the sterilization gene. By opening this evolutionary pathway we could enhance the mosquitoes in unintended ways.
Did you read the article? The Norwegians claim that one of the health workers died.
I will enjoy 16 GiB of RAM, this is an already solved problem.
This is not the case everywhere in Europe such as in Norway and Iceland where the 1st floor is generally considered to be the ground floor. It seems to be ambiguous in Sweden.
An amazing feature of the windows file picker that i hardly ever see mentioned is that you can simply paste in a url into the name field and it will automatically download it to tmp and refer to the file.
Something to be considered is that today's population is on average older than in 1968 and therefore there are more people vulnerable to respiratory illnesses than ever(*atleast before COVID19).
I mostly agree but it can be nice to see your code doing something actionable and visual rather than the alternative more traditional approach to learning programming, printing to the terminal.
It’s absolutetly not very easy. I would say it’s very hard, indeed it requires a set of specialized tools.

Is there a possibility of human-crow co-evolution? I really can't think of any other reason the crow would give gifts.
It's really funny to see the redditors defend this.
Individuals are made from genes.
I agree we should strive for a system which incentivises empathy, compassion, generosity and contentment.
Billionares do not have more kids but wealthy people have the capacity to have more healthy offspring, irregardless if they actually do.
I have said nothing about poisoning the gene pool, i am not a eugenicist and far from it. But every system has free-riders (leeches) as game theory predicts, we should try to counteract this behaviour not reward it.
>I'm very sceptical about the claim that the incentive to earn staggering amounts of money goes away if your great-great-grandchildren cannot profit from it.
I'ts not that simple, we are talking about evolutionary timescales here. It's very easy to see that if we live in a universe where accumulating wealth will not benefit your descendants, then accumulating wealth is an energy and time sink which will be selected against.
As for the second point i have no idea what Bezoz's motivations are.
>Why in the hell should the Rockefeller’s of today be billionaires?
Because we live in a system which rewards good genes, and that is a very good thing. By instituting a generational wealth tax you will be killing the human desire for wealth on a generational timescale.
Where does the money go? To other people i assume, you have now created a system where the evolutionary incentive is to leech from the system contributing as little as you can get away with. We live in such a system today but at-least there are some benefits to contributing more, those benefits are inherently that you can turn wealth into more children and transfer that wealth to them.

Would you kick a baby on the sidewalk? If you answered no you are totally one of us!
Yes in a sense but ultimately evolutionary equilibriums are the reason why. When everybody is a dove, being a hawk is very good, be it psychopaths, sociopaths or random opportunistic anti-social behavour.
Interesting question, would this be legal? Could BP or Shell make a cheap car but with the caveat that it could only be filled at their stations?
Absolutely, I fear he has the same lack of principles regarding bodily autonomy and forced vaccinations.
Read the comment again...
HN is feeling more and more like reddit every day. Why is this comment downvoted/flagged? It's the first well sourced scientific information I find in this thread.
The theory that I think is most probable is that someone got access to the hack, either by purchase or stumbling upon it, they tested it out and had a "holy shit this actually works" moment.
After this they became paranoid of the bug being fixed within hours and tried to monetise it in the quickest, easiest and safest way possible.
*In your current environment.
That was a long long time ago, remember when the comments on reddit were actually filled with some intelligent discussion?
