Whether you call me a troll or claim I am trolling amount to the same thing. It sounds as if you want to ban me because you don't like my user name. Seriously? If it makes you feel better, maybe just change my user…
I want to comment on one more thing: calling somebody a "troll" is an insult. Over several years, I have been called troll many times, just because I called out leftist conspiracy theories or misguided conceptions about…
"That confirms both that the username is trollish and that your purpose is to use HN for ideological battle, which is against the site guidelines." Neither of those "conclusions" is true. It is merely experience that it…
Yes - what makes you think you can determine objective reality, and even assuming you, or somebody, could determine it, why should there be a MORAL obligation to believe in it? Would you say then there is a moral…
I picked the username because it was only a matter of time until somebody would accuse me of being a nazi - as is the norm these days for anybody who doesn't adhere to the mainstream leftist ideology. If you would do a…
I strongly suspect you never had a 101 humanities class. Pretty sure "philosophy" is all about what you know and what you can and what you have to believe. Maybe you confuse it with "Bible class 101", where you get told…
That is why people are supposed to have arrangements with other people who can decide for them when they are in coma. Usually it is family, but you can also designate other people. At least in my country that is the…
I mean if the government kills them, obviously. Would it then be free speech? Everybody could say what they want, it's just the consequence could be a death sentence.
Yeah that "paradox of tolerance" is just bullshit. You may as well admit that tolerance in general is not attainable. I understand why you people want to censor other people. But don't claim you do it in the name of…
"It turns out" - how so? Maybe some people simply take an interest in the Holocaust, start asking questions, and when they hit roadblocks, they become suspicious. Censoring certain claims about the Holocaust will only…
So what exactly is "the Holocaust"? Do you know exactly what happened? I rather think historians are still piercing it together. Also, while as I said I don't have reasons to doubt it, I do think that there is something…
Where you alive in 1933? I wasn't. So all I know about the Holocaust is just what somebody else wrote about it. I generally don't like taking things as gospel. I don't generally doubt the Holocaust (I have no reason…
Not freedom of consequences: that is a bit too vague. What if the consequence is that somebody shoots you dead if you say the wrong thing? According to you, they still have free speech? Actually I think some real world…
People have different ideals. A lot of people really care about free speech and freedom in general.
That's what you think. The person running that web site probably thinks differently. If they came to power, they would perhaps censor sites that promote the holocaust. See how that works?
Is this just the IQ debate, or "nature vs nurture", on another playing field? It seems very obviously that some people operate on another level than others. If methods exist to boost the "normal" people to the genius…
Why would it need blockchains?
In my opinion, the job of politicians is to free me from having to deal with politics. That is why they are called "delegates" (in my country at least), because people delegate that job to them. Having to consider every…
"The Wahl-O-Mat is organized by Germany’s Federal Agency for Civic Education, which describes itself as a “federal public authority providing citizenship education.” Despite the somewhat Orwellian language, the agency…
No you don't have to remember the master seed. You should write it down and hide it somewhere, though. You need it if you lose access to your wallet. (It's a bit like a backup of the encryption keys for your hard disk,…
But if somebody downloads the data, and they can track the source to your computer, do they even have to decrypt it on your computer? (I mean does law enforcement have to decrypt it on your computer, or could they just…
I think you can also import them in "light" wallets like Electrum. That way you don't have to download the whole blockchain. You may be leaking the information that somebody with your IP address has Bitcoins, though.
He needs the public keys to check the balance.
Those random words are the master seed. Usually you don't enter the master seed to use your wallet. Your wallet encrypts the master seed and unlocks it with a password of your choosing. I suppose they are talking about…
But weren't the steam boilers also copies of UK inventions?
