RE: Facebook moving to crypto
Excuse me for being the crypto-heretic that I am: Why - for any other than PR-purposes - should the most centralised of apps choose a decentralized system a currency? FB has centralization written all

RE: TIL: How stupid (accurate) Germans can be // Ein weiterer Beweis für deutschen Paragraphen-Irrsinn
Geht so. Das Zeug ging wahrscheinlich in internationalen Gewässern über Bord. Damit hätte dort m.E. allgemeines Seerecht gegolten. Fundbüros sind auf offener See eher ungewöhnlich. Wird ein Schiff auf

RE: Terror in Berlin
ps: manche reden von einem "deutschen 9-11". Blödsinn. Mittelgrosser Anschlag, einer von vielen. Der Typ war halt nicht mehr zu blöd zum Töten wie die meisten vor ihm. Er konnte Laster fahren.

RE: Terror in Berlin
naja. formal wurde ja geltendes Recht angewandt. Das scheint mir eher das Problem: wir haben so viele Checks&Balances, Ein- und Widerspruchsoptionen, dass die Behörden praktisch handlungsunfähig sind.

RE: Härtere Strafen für Angriffe auf Polizisten – ein Schuss in den Ofen?
Naja, das Ganze hat noch eine andere Seite. Polizisten sollten schon das Gefühl haben, in ihrer Tätigkeit von Gesetz und Staat hinreichend den Rücken freigehalten zu bekommen. Alles andere führt zu einem

RE: The Veil of Good that Evil Hides Within
Yep. But without a comprehensive definition or at least a framework of categorization (ethics), the whole point of good or evil is a relative aspect within a cloudy topic. Good or evil are such subjective

RE: Universal Basic Income - a bipolar story
Voluntary funding is a nice idea. Yet totally out of proportion. I already mentioned the veryvery mixed motivation of many sponsors. Look, I got a reasonably wellpaid job. And I was reasonably well paid

Oh. Cool. A colourful mind. :-) Do not get stuck on the phenomena though. Its a playful dead end. If you have the mind to it and you feel comfy with LD, you can take it much further.

RE: TIL - About Lucid Dreaming
Perhaps it may be a good idea to check one's motivation first. After all, these techniques play around with pretty deep levels of psychology. LD can be used for overcoming psychological barriers and neuroses.

Good. Being overly successful can be a trap. And a lot of people abused Airbnb, cheating taxes and regulations that were there for a good reason. Another example of a favorite to the good-doers, which

Canada is not easily reached from south Asia, Africa or Arab countries. You can afford to select and control immigration. We have so far proven to be unable to. Canada has a low overall population density.
