Hillary is simply a dumb person. The only real skill of her is being a strategist, but after that, there is absolutely nothing. Born in a good household, married the right person and from there she simply used the "woman behind a successful man"-card that feminism started to push around that time.

Her losing against Trump back then was a clear setup. I cannot imagine, that anyone who put her on the chessboard thought, that she could win this. Trump winning twice had one reason: The deep state wanted it, because they needed some radical reforms that required a clown to pass them through without the citizenz being able to scan and put attention on them and instead media looked as the poses and faces trump made and all they and everyone else did was laugh. Exactly as planned.

tl;dr: The internet is the thing that needs the most attention when educating your kids.

I get a lot of value from the internet. I fell for some traps (instagram, facebook with very little value but lots of wasted energy) that I mostly got rid of.

But I have many products I am very happy about, that I got to know through other people on the internet.

The onboarding isn't that easy and KYC always takes time.

I don't get you guys...

The geniuses can still make very valuable contributions to humanity. It's just that the general public will have a hard time understanding a new achievement. We already see this everywhere. "Higgs Teilchen" and so on. The media showed it, nobody cared and everyone was confused (found at the CERN in geneva). It only makes sense.

We still make immense progress, but in very detaily branches often, that people just want to use but not having to know about, because of the sheer complexity.

I wonder where the borders of humans will be. :) We might not be far from them anymore. Nowadays, to get into unknows territory, you need to do scientific research for decades often and an exceptional brain. Because you need to get the basics first, to which others created the paths.

The next real innovation I see will be affordable space travelling and populating other planets. Other than that, some minor stuff will be implemented like nuclear fusion reactors and the like.

The hardest thing will be to define "individuals" who contributed some of that stuff alone, as it used to be in the past (more or less).

On a second thought: He reads like an extremely religious person. This actually makes me doubt the "tax evasion" story.
that must be a tax evasion incident. i can't believe a CORE DEV would be as dumb as keeping everything in a hot wallet on his computer, where he does all kinds of stuff.

bro, data is money and those corporates extract as much as they can. don't try to reason that google would not be interested in exactly that. one does not have to find a specific evidence for exactly this scenario in my opinion. this evidence likely might never emerge, while the spying definitely will happen. otherwise you would need to come up with a huge scenario where they actually farm a ton of benefits by doing this change, because a move like that you don't "just do for a better experience".

Just because that there ARE anonymous people posting stupid shit, doesn't mean all people do that when anonymous. In fact, show me a nice invention that wasn't made by a freedom loving person. No bigger freedom than anonymity! We need it. How can you express yourself without being silenced right from the start without it? How can you spread disruptive ideas when people instanly have a name to point fingers to?

An idea should be separate from a person, to really be neutral. If there is a person behind it, people start investigating the person, rather than checking the idea in depth.

tbh using spaces in file names is still stupid.
