How did you get the idea that the number was per person? How disconnected from the economy are you?

That shit was pretty bad. Jack Black could not save it. I knew it was going to be stupid, but for some reason my girl's mom recommended it to her, so I was stuck watching it.

Some guy did that to me, so I made my way in front of him and spent the next 20 minutes enraging the guy by keeping him trapped in slow traffic.

Good times.

As long as that monkey isn't intended to be Muhammad, the vast majority of Islam has zero problem with it.

Interest bearing loans are haram. Cryptocurrency fits very well into Islamic banking.

Anyone who doesn't want their ship blown up by Iran when it starts transiting and Iran discovers the transaction didn't go through.

I've bought pizza with Bitcoin. Don't see the benefit there of whatever it is you think normal currency is.

Its all just Bitcoins. Lightning works by essentially generating a Bitcoin transaction then sending that transaction to both parties. Then either party can publish the plain Bitcoin transaction whenever they want. This will finalize all payments and essentially close the channel. But everything's still Bitcoin.

There are some downsides to LN, but not being Bitcoin is not one of them.

You can't use LN without first setting up a channel. And setting up a channel is just like a normal Bitcoin layer 1 transaction. So, unless you have an established financial relationship with the recipient, LN doesn't help you here.

Bitcoin would be crippled without the cap by the block chain being too big for almost anyone to run a Bitcoin node but a few big players who could then hack the network.

The limit adds tons of long term security to the protocol.

That's exactly how it works. It takes about 5 seconds for a transaction to show up. Now, depending on the security requirements and value involved, you probably want to wait 30-60 mins for confirmations from miners. But the reality is that initial transaction you see in a few moments is more of a guarantee you will receive the money than a bank telling you they moved the money already.

WindowMaker

My Debian system runs blazingly fast with 4 GiB RAM while running a 1 GiB VM.

GNOME is rapidly approaching OSX levels of bloat.

I had a coworker who used to add lodash and axios to like every project. I had to repeatedly reject PRs that pulled in 50MiB of code to do basic shit JavaScript already does. Like lodash is the source of insane amounts of security bulletins, and all it's being used for is one-line functions. Axios is a monstrosity that (poorly) duplicates the functionality of the web standard fetch API that already does everything you'll ever need.

Anyone using these packages deserves to get hacked.

Steam already does this for PCs, not just the Steamdeck. None of us are unique and beautiful snowflakes with completely unknown hardware and drivers. There's a matrix. If a game is popular, you are highly likely to find other people sharing a cell with you in the matrix.
