I'm somewhat active in the Bitcoin community. Are you the person who runs the bitcoin-friendly homeless shelter? Do you suffer from people writing bullshit about you, too? I imagine you might, in your position.
Then why allow PPL holders to have passengers at all. Why does it magically change when you split a tank of gas with me? I agree, I am skeptical of flying with low hours pilots. I AM a low hour pilot and I'm skeptical of flying myself! But it would be perfectly legal for me to take passengers as a PPL holder. It's also perfectly legal for me and others to share the flight costs down to a common destination. As long as I don't pay less than my fair share. I think saying that something is transformed when I say on a public forum "Hey guys, I'm going to New Orleans for the weekend. Anyone want to come down and split costs with me?" Is being dishonest.
Either passengers can assess the danger, or they can't.
Paying for half a tank of gas does not change that.
Hello Syria, Hackernews is calling and wondering what the problem is? Oh oh, ring Russia 1993 to 1999 you say? It's hard to hear you because somebody has stolen most of the copper and shot the telecoms engineers. Russia in 1999 says that a random kelptocracy is so bloody dreadful that they'd like to go back to a soviet style strong man instead. Hmm I'll ask Somalia 1991 to present; how's it going there? Better than last year? Well, is that because some semblance of a civil administration has been established? People can sell goats in a market without shooting people with AK-47's - sounds like a breakthrough to me.
This is awesome. We run CGM in the cloud for my 8 yo type 1. It alone has been such a huge benefit. I have wondered about zero basal to prevent lows. Thanks for pioneering here. Would love to hear more.
Does the Tor Browser allow you to access things on the Internet, because surely it shouldn't, therefore the Captcha should have failed to load for a high percentage of Internet users?
SR was up for a long time... and I'm sure made a lot of enemies... not to mention bots trying to pound on it... So it seems very unlikely that something as basic as not escaping user input strings would bring them down...
Xah,It really sounds like you need a bitcoin address. Coinbase.com (YC S12) is a great place to start. Once you have some coins, you will find no shortage of people in the bay area willing to buy them off of you.
I would even be willing to run a btc fundraiser on your behalf. I don't have a lot of rep on here, but it's pretty solid in the bitcoin space. Google Jason King Bitcoin or Sean's Outpost
I will if you will offer me a 60 day options contract to sell bitcoins at a fixed price after close! Otherwise, the volatility cold double or half the purchase price. :-)
It's not disingenuous. You misunderstood. He was concerned about floating prices between BTC:USD. You don't have to implement your own waiting period to accept bitcoin into a static USD price with either service. If you do that, then there are the same short waiting periods that apply to every payment service that performs USD ACH/banking transactions before it gets to your bank account. The value doesn't change in the meanwhile.
