Has any crypto argument ever not depended on circular reasoning?

>But interestingly we still also have a blasphemy law, even though it is very soft now, from what it used to be.

At this point, the only way this will ever be enforced is when someone blasphemes the Quran.

Why would you assume it's unlikely to harm you without years long studies that were the normal expectation before the last year and a half?

Thank you. I feel like I'm going insane sometimes but you said it all.
Put yourself in the shoes of an honest, hardworking police man/woman for the past 2 years and tell me honestly what you would do in their situation. I know I would either have already left or be biding my time looking for an exit.
Just imagine the French as the indigenous peoples of this area. Oh wait...

Not sure why you all don't see it but this isn't playing the way you think it is.

Too bad. I had always wanted to visit Australia. Would never consider it again.
"Defund the police!" "ACAB"

Crime increases

"Fucking police"

Stop putting words in his/her mouth. This is how some people feel. Let it go.

> There's also the whole "corona theater" element, with people pretending that they don't want to come in because they'll die or whatever, which might have made sense for a month or two in March last year but now is just a sign that you're dealing with someone who is either deliberately lying or just has no understanding of the situation.

Re:Ask HN: Is back end dev generally easier than front end? on Wednesday November 24, 2021 @11:56AM (#29332087)
At this particular moment in time, I think so.
Let's be fair, it makes a bit more sense that every city and municipality declaring a "climate emergency" like there's anything they can do about it.
Probably wasn't getting the job done. Yawn.

Yes.

Make stuff closer to where it's used again.
>Do we want a society where we cut down the number of male engineering students to match the number of women? Or where we allow women into the course who didn't pass the same standard?

This is precisely what they want.

It is currentYear and overt racism is fine now as long as the discrimination is directed at white folks (or Asians in an academic context).
I feel so much better now. Think I'll go back to sleep.
Not meeting anyone. Remote work sucks but y'all can't get enough.

We've known it's exclusively airborne since April 2020? What does more airborne mean?
Grid scale electrical storage technology is not even developed, let alone remotely cost competitive, but it is a prerequisite for actually realizing any of the benefits of wind and solar.

We're at least a generation (~25 years) too early and unfortunately the least fortunate among us will bear the cost of our delusions.

The demand for gas is increasing because the wind isn't blowing as much as they thought it would. You still need the entire fossil generation system as a backup for renewables for when the sun doesn't shine and wind doesn't blow. Until there is grid scale electrical energy storage, renewables simply increase the cost of the whole system.
> Given the drastically falling costs of renewable energy...

How nice to ignore inconvenient facts like Europe's skyrocketing energy costs.

Just stop.

Too many people who think they're smarter than they are who want to be able to tell others how they should think and live.
