  • Sam Bankman-Fried Believes He Was Set Up to Be the Fail Guy

    Jump

  • Again then. Sometimes it's important not to talk about others and spend some time self reflecting. He's not there yet. For me, the power of denial is overrated.

  • The world’s largest direct carbon capture plant just went online

    Jump

  • So according to statista in 2023 global emissions were 37.5 billions of tons, and exponentially growing since 1944.

    In the article they say they can remove 36,000 tons of CO2 and the goal is

    For the world to achieve "carbon neutrality" by 2050, "we should be removing something like six to 16 billion tons of CO2 per year from the air,"

    That's a drop in the bucket alright. Sustainability and capitalism (with its embedded exponential growth) cannot coexist.

  • Totally. Maybe something like have been doing for decades would be closer to reality.

  • Top Secret: In a 2018 letter, Netanyahu asks Qatar to fund Hamas

    Jump

  • In the link I provided above it says something very similar:

    While it had many strains historically, the Zionism that took hold and stands today is a settler-colonial movement, establishing an apartheid state where Jews have more rights than others. Our own history teaches us how dangerous this can be.

    Palestinian dispossession and occupation are by design. [...]

    Apart from that when you say There's probably a lot of flavors of Zionism that you'd agree with I must inform you that this is not the case.

  • Agreed its not one man. It's zionism

  • SEC’s Gensler turns tide against crypto in courts

    Jump

  • Ok, I'll try to explain then.

    There is no crypto without a blockchain, and blockchains live on the internet. Btw the projects that are worth in this environment are decentralized.

    Federal courts in the US are passing laws and these laws are valid only in the US. They don't threaten the survival of the "crypto industry" cause they live on the internet, not in the US. It just makes it harder to create a legit project in the US, or if you are a user you will need a VPN to access some sites that are not available in the country you live in.

    This is why there is binance.com (for almost everywhere, except US) and binance.us (only for the US). This article fails to mention this difference so claiming that:

    The cryptocurrency industry is counting on the federal courts to survive

    makes it clear to me that the author has no understanding of how crypto works. That's my good faith take on this article.

  • SEC’s Gensler turns tide against crypto in courts

    Jump

  • The cryptocurrency industry is counting on the federal courts to survive a sweeping enforcement crusade by Wall Street’s top regulator.

    This statement can only mean that the author does not understand how blockchains work.

  • Anyone can enter the ‘mens’ league

    Not if you are a woman that wants to go for the Grand Master title. In that case you have to join the Woman Grandmaster (WGM).

  • Reasons for this are complicated and largely unknown

    Really?Well, systemic sexism is complicated, no doubt. You have to decide tho. Complicated or unknown? Cause it can't be both.

  • Personally, I both loved and hated the idea at first. The more I think about it, the more I find it valuable in some way.

    Thanks you for saying so and spending time thinking about this. The way I see things, the point here is to take a glance at how systemic sexism works through an art exhibit. That is, if you dare.

    Other examples that would illustrate what I mean in relation to systemic sexism, would be:

    • It is not sexism if a dude is not allowed in a lesbian bar. They are a minority group, and just want to do their thing.
    • It is sexism when a woman is refused to apply for a grandmaster chess tournament because of tradition/culture/etc. We live in a world that women are still not allowed participate in these tournaments.

    [edit: the strikethrough, cause apparently it's not the case. There are women tournaments (only for women) and open ones (open to all). I think the example still stands, as an illustration to what I meant]
