Hey! It's not that simple! There's feces too.

My gym explicitly allowes filming. It's something I knew and accepted when I signed up.

Either the gym shown allowes filming and didn't adequately communicate that to the guy or they don't allow it and didn't adequately communicate that to the woman.

Or one of them are ignoring the rules I guess.

The code trevador used was adapted from Monero's PoW code.

Monero also gets a lot of use on Tor sites. Some people who like private money also are drawn to other private spaces online. So helping the Tor network beat the DDoS attacks it's been under is good for Monero.

Both are somewhat tangentially related to Monero.

You just made me realize how much I'd love to live in a country where there was no such thing as a "normal shooting".

Gun culture in America is absolutely fucked.

If you trust them, which it seems like you do, to not sell your information for advertising purposes then maybe thats true.

They're still sharing your personal information with others. Maybe you trust Google to not use the information stored in your drive for ads or to sell you shit but do you then also implicitly trust every corporation that that give that data to? To you then also trust those companies to always handle and treat your personal information with the respect it deserves for all time?

Here's a relevant quote from their privacy policy:

We provide personal information to our affiliates and other trusted businesses or persons to process it for us, based on our instructions and in compliance with our Privacy Policy and any other appropriate confidentiality and security measures. For example, we use service providers to help operate our data centers, deliver our products and services, improve our internal business processes, and offer additional support to customers and users.

If you're OK with Google using your personal information to sell you adds or with then selling your personal information directly, then it's a fine option.

Again, i's a privacy issue. Some people are OK with giving up privacy for convenience, and that's fine.

Lack of privacy is a huge reason. If you're OK with Google scanning all of your photos to sell you adds and build their AI then it's a fine option.

Car manufacturers can make more money per vehicle on large trucks. So I'm curious what influence their lobiests had on this.

We can't spend inputs till they reach 10 blocks though right?

He never says they're necessary but does explain how they're useful. Is the royal family not actually bringing in more money for the government than they're using?

It's likely a choice that was made to add novelty and cater to the American pallet.

It's novel because it's not how it's typically done. It's not done like that normally because they're worse than coins.

Monero has mechanisms for validating supply:

If you're going to repeat this argument ad nauseam then at least don't do it in a misleading absolutist way.
