Sorry but there are so much more things you have a way bigger impact on climate than website requires a little bit JavaScript.

I don't really understand the outrage. The status quo is that companies didnt support it for years. So 99.9% won't notice any change.

But a mail CLIENT is a Web App not a static documents site. If Wikipedia would require JS I would kind of understand it from a technical point.

But big corporation tries to reduce cost by shutting down scarcely used old service happens monthly.

Good thing they abandoned this. Rare case where consumer won. And this is getting more and more rare!

Great film with really awesome visuals as always from Edgar Wright. But I guess it is quite a popular opinion that this is the weakest one from the Cornetto trilogy.

Yes this 100%. When traveling I always use some cheap local esim for internet instead of paying way to much for the international prices from my home carrier.

I like Adam driver playing Italians. He was great in House of Gucci imo.

Sorry disagree with most stuff and I also don't see what such a system would improve for the majority of people.

But let's not argue anymore let's just agree to disagree.

In theory. But then real life happens:

  • You may not always have interner and power but need goods
  • You may send money to the wrong wallet -> gone forever (doesn't even have to be yout fault, great target for man in the middle attacks)
  • You may forget your passphrase or your grandpa dies and you inherit nothing as nobody can access the money
  • You want to pay in you supermarket. Great you have to wait till you transaction gets processed as this is super slow. And wait until many more people use this currency.
  • It's pseudonymous not anonymous. Everyone you send money and know in real life knows about your financials in detail 👌🏻

Macro things:

  • It's great to freeze assets of people who are shit
  • It's great to be able to control the amount of money in the system to counter crisis or just keep the economy healthy
  • It's great when people pay taxes
  • Fixed amount of coins means deflation in the long run and deflating economies die faster than you can blink
  • Proof of Work burns our world and Proof of Stake is oligarchy. Today the distribution of most coins is worse then normal currencies. (Richest have almost everything)

One of my favorite things said about crypto by famous german hacker Linus Neumann about crypto was something like: They where so obsessed with whether they could make digital money work, and the technical is super smart. But they forgot to think about if they should.

In Europe good connected homes (basically cities) can have a ping of 10-20 ms. Most people won't notice mich of a lav when they casually play on their couch.

Maybe also unpopular, but my standpoint on taxes is: The government is the one giving out the money in the first place. Every dollar comes from the Fed (exception some virtual money) like the monopoly bank just gives out money in the first place. 

The point of taxes is to keep the economy working fairly. Like putting high taxes on something to discourage bad behavior, and the other way around. Also, it's necessary to keep capitalism from evolving into feudalism, as money likes to accumulate on a few rich ones.

The second thought is what the government should with the money. Of course, they should do great and needed investments. Often times, this is not the case, but the root problems here are not taxes themselves. There is no alternative universe where the government is spending all money perfectly.

The real problem is the rich being able to evade taxes, and they frame taxes as something unfair. Additionally, not rich people pay far too much in taxes.

Not having to charge it every 1-2 days would be great. Batteries degrade over time and I don't want to buy a new one every 2 years.
