Stolen ASICs produce a merkle root with the illegal flag set so they won't be candidates for a generation block in the blockchain because it's impossible for them to generate a valid nounce. No one want illegal bitcoins, that would be like counterfeit money.
This explanation shows how ridiculous the concept of 'illegal bitcoins' are.
For instance, why do we need both Troll and Flamebait? They're essentially synonyms, after all. And why isn't there a -1 Misinformed or -1 Stupid, instead?
That's a possibility- thanks for the suggestion. Anyone else have an opinion on this?
It's a good idea, mod trolls are basically censorship in the politically correct way. It's bad enough dealing with sockpuppets, one person's opinions doesn't stand a chance against organized groups with an agenda.
Thanks for your efforts upgrading the site. Anyone with any experience upgrading a high uptime, highly visible piece of infrastructure will know it's difficult so no complaints here. From my experiences 7, 30, 90 days is when you will be ironing out issues with your gear, it's normal.
The haters are just complaining because they didn't get their dopamine hit, they're sladdicts.
Haha guys very funny. Hopefully it's a joke some astrophyscist played on whoever wrote this story.
Perhaps it's the aliens trying to figure out if we are assholes? If your came 300Billion light years you would want to make sure you steer clear of the assholes and hang out with the cool people, wouldn't you?
And when a person is feeling pain when there is nothing to feel pain about?
That, my digital friend, is a sign that you are being covertly abused. It took me 150,000 words to figure that all out, but I did. If you are feeling an un-describable pain inside of you and you can pin down why - you are almost certainly being targeted by some grubby fuck who is emotionally manipulating you.
Figure out who they are and start, slowly, carefully (because they are vindictive) breaking contact with them. Be careful - if they figure it out they will deliver a devastating blow and attempt to leave you emotionally and psychologically crippled. There maybe more than one.
The way "Those people" interact with reality is completely alien to the way people with morals and boundaries do, they are addicted to manipulating you, they *need*. The hardest thing for me to accept is it was me who attracted these people into my life and that I had to modify my behavior to resolve the pain.
If it were just lack of resilience, it would have gone away when things were going well for me. It didn't. It does cause impaired resilience.
That's *exactly* what was happening to me. My resilience was being worn down by people because my personal barriers had been shattered by my abusers. Once I started facing that absolutely everything in my life started getting better, and faster than I thought.
Thank you for sharing your insights. I find what you say to be eminently recognisable. The scariest thing to me personally is being the potential *source* of a mental illness to anther, healthier person. This kind of fear can become a reluctance to form loving relationships which might be otherwise restorative. This type of catch-22 is one of the most insidious and damaging symptoms of depression, at least in my experience.
No one can do that for you and if you were abused emotionally and psychologically when you were a child it may even make it worse. Finding the sources of the pain and going through them (by writing) is what cleared the kind of emotional blocks, you described, for me.
Taking a pill *helps* you to "face the pain". It gives you the motivation to make changes in your life that depressed-you would never have gotten around to do. That is why professionals recommend a combination of pills and therapy as the most effective treatment for depression.
I hope so. However if that person is around the source of their depression, how can they heal when they are constantly being psychologically damaged? All that does is allow them to sustain more damage. It also enables them to damage others and I have seen it.
The real question is for those people who do take the pill, do they face the pain? In my personal experience it is extremely unpleasant and you will be in a very alien emotional state until you come out the other side, where you finally feel free. This is a human brain we are talking about, it's messy and complicated. A pill is a simplistic hardware solution to a complex problem of the software called "The Mind". There are several vulnerabilities in the software for which "Those people" develop exploits for.
Those are my personal experiences with someone who takes the pill and is diagnosed with depression and all the other things I mentioned. They won't face the pain and writing is what I had to do to survive their many and varied assaults on my sanity. This is the reality of having mentally ill people around you for a long time, it makes you mentally ill.
I forgot to mention. A cluster B personality type is one that seeks a reaction from you to feel better about themselves, you feel a lot worse so they can feel a little better. From what I understand it causes a release of dopamine and peptides in their brain. In other words, they're loser junkies addicted to their own brain endomorphins.
It completely destroys your ability to map reality and causes your ability to detect threats to constantly generate false positives. That's why you become hypersensitive and aggressive. If you can recognise that happening AND/OR recognise when it *is* happening, then this is a big step towards regaining control.
Go listen to Nine Inch Nails - Head like a Hole. I think that is what that song is about.
Anti-depressants are like being told oh, you're sad, here's a pil, now shut the fuck up and get back to work.
After having to tolerate a sibling on antidepressants for over 25 years, I'm in the camp who's experiences differ from what the study says, I see no difference and in reality deterioration. Having also had to deal with a somatic and a cerebral narcissist, I can also tell you no matter how strong you think you are, other peoples mental illness *will* cause you to have a mental illness. In my case PTSD, which made me somewhat dangerous.
In other words, mental illness is contagious.
What I learned is it is essential for your sovereign individuality to minimise contact with mentally ill people in your life before you can begin to recover your own sanity. Then you do the last thing you want to do, face the pain. Face what the deceitful actions of what others did to you and write it all down event by troubling event. What this does is help you process the emotions in a controllable way, this is difficult if you are living with an abuser. What this helps with is state control, preventing Amygdala hijack and re-regulate your HPA axis. You can die if you end up in a state of adrenal failure.
I was on the receiving end of two narcissists because of the child abuse I endured. When I claim that, I'm refering to the DSM and mean they both exhibited 5 of the nine traits of a cluster B abuser and are probably diagnosable by a trained professional. Trouble is, they don't think anything is wrong with them and they lie lie lie all the time. One was a covert narcissist and destroyed my life twice before I figured it out.
Worst thing about it though is realising that it made me attracted to these type of people and opened me up for further abuse by other anti-social people and one probable occupational psychopath. I was part of the problem. In writing it all down I processed the emotions and that made me a lot harder to manipulate because it is the unprocessed emotions that 'Those people' can detect in you and use to manipulate you. Once you clear that, you are less prone to abuse and you can start to develop boundaries and coping strategies. If you are depressed, check to see if you have too many assholes in your life. Chances are there are more than one. You know the ones who constantly stoke anger in you - "Those People" who get their thrills by trying to put you into a state of Amygdala hyjack. That want to show everyone how crazy you are so they can indulge in being right. That's all they have and they are usually losers - no you can't fix them.
So, what I am saying here is it's all too easy to just take a pill, it's bullshit. Face the pain and become a fully functional human being before you become as damaged as I was. You will feel fucking terrible while you do it, however a few weeks afterwards you will be amazed at the good things that start happening to you. The narcissists will still be losers.
If you are hurting and you are reading this, please know, it's possible to escape. It's not easy but you owe it to yourself.
Please provide citations for each of your assertions that Christians believe in the following:
The Christians are the ones with the horrified look on their faces that their entire cultural doctrine has be subverted by the "hard right christian fundamentalist". One way to tell the difference is the Christians forgive you for trespassing and the hard right christian fundamentalist's shoot at you.
But those fun fun fundamentalist sure know how to party!!!:)
Very weak. That just shows Pence being loyal to his boss, which is literally the absolute minimum required of his job.
Like all politicians he is talking like a politician. What he is actually saying is "See what President Crazy Town did? I'm the sane candidate, you can feel confident in my presidency."
There's not the slightest suggestion of him taking the initiative, nor even of condoning Trump's attacks on the press or the courts.
What do you think Trump would do to Pence if he *ever* took the initiative?
If that's the best citation you can come up with for "Pence is a fascist", I for one will find for the defendant.
There are plenty of articles on Pence's relationship with Blackwater. I think if you are comfortable with the Vice President having access to a private militia whilst he can approve government spending then you are probably one of his supporters. Maybe you have time to find a better article you could post?
More courts need to step in line or get out of the way via impeachment if necessary.
The one best reason not to impeach Trump is named Mike Pence. Last person you want as president is a right-wing fundamentalist fascist Christian controlling all of the nukes.
Which is why if I am going to invest serious time in learning an application I use an OSS version even if it is more clunky, at least you know your investment in time won't be made worthless.
I used this swype on my phone - it was ok. Now I know it won't be on my next phone. What a crappy consumer society we have become.
meh, just put linux and windows on the install disk and let the user decide. Charge the money for the Linux portion and tell them they can use windows if they want however it's copyright violation if he does it.
Then tell them "This is how Microsoft gets us to destroy a lot of useful computers and buy unnecessary software licences."
Not too long ago, the U.S. government's official position was that if we receive any kind of message from an extraterrestrial species, we would pretend not to have gotten it and not respond.
Thank goodness we have the government to protect and comfort us, we are so fortunate.

Overlooking the fact that programming is surely one of the most easily replaced jobs once we have something even slightly close to real AI.
Programming isn't the hard bit, figuring out what the humans want, is.

Actually this submission is an alien AI trolling us, generating amusing ironies for the Aliens watching us.
They'd hack our minds.

Little wonder they don't want to come anywhere near us.
If it's yellow let it mellow, if it's brown flush it down. (that's what we had to do during drought conditions)
Thank you for writing this and your honesty, MrKaos. Your words reached someone that desperately needed to hear them.
