Where is that? Judging by your comment history, maybe Kazakhstan? I can easily find physical security keys for sale in Kazakhstan. For example miningshop.kz in Almaty has Ledger Nano S in stock.

Besides, you don't need an actual physical key for U2F.


What's the big problem with doping anyway? Even now, everyone is doping, it doesn't seem to be causing huge problems.

Wouldn't it be safer for everyone if it was all out in the open?


There's some scary stories from 80s when EPO usage was essentialy untested, teams and individuals pushed it to such extremes that athletes had to wake up in the middle of the night to stop their heart rate dropping too low as their blood was so viscous cardiac arrest was a real concern.


If it's permitted, then it becomes obligatory. In sports where doping was tacitly permitted, chances are that it was unthinkable for a player to even be a contender for the elite level without doping.

If obligatory, then it starts killing people. Consider football and concussions.

And then there's marketing. A certain amount of risk is accepted in sports, and is part of what makes it attractive to fans and sponsors. But when someone actually dies at an event, it overshadows everything else that happens. If that becomes a regular occurrence, fans and sponsors who pay for the coverage will begin to lose interest.

Part of the reason for rules in sports is to make a sport interesting for the fans, e.g., by preventing each match from being decided by a single factor that is predictable ahead of time. Financial sports already have financial rules. Pharmacological sports need pharmacological rules.


It's already obligatory if you want to compete at the top level.

> chances are that it was unthinkable for a player to even be a contender for the elite level without doping.

Which is really the case for most sports today.


Why are there so few women in the mining industry?

Why are there so few women in arms trade?

Why are there so few women in finance?

Why are there so few women in infosec?

Why are there so few women in ...

How is "crypto space" unique? It's so easy to find countless industry events which are full of mostly men.


There are plenty of women in real finance who are totally accomplished. Many women have developed quant/derivative products (... like those CDOs that blew up in 2008), manage projects for firms like Swift/DTCC, run banks, etc. (The latter get featured in American Banker a lot.)

I am not talking of woman who go at these things with a gendered agenda but who rather go at it with quiet competence.


You can find plenty of commentary on that in the more "respectable" industries you listed (finance, infosec).


Are we really damned lucky to have people suffering from an often crippling mental illness?

I'm all for the rights of trans people, but saying we're lucky to have trans people is not very different from saying we're lucky to have depressed or bipolar people. Perhaps we're also lucky to have quadriplegic people?

(And yeah, obviously not all transgender people suffer from gender dysphoria)


Did you actually just compare being transgendered to suffering from a spinal cord injury??

I’m curious, why do you feel the need to hurt marginalized people? What do you gain?


I'm calling out your celebration of suffering. I'm not hurting marginalised people.

>Did you actually just compare being transgendered to suffering from a spinal cord injury??

Both gender dysphoria and spinal cord injuries tend to be severely debilitating.

We're not lucky to have transgender people. Luck would be nobody suffering from gender dysphoria. The people who end up needing to correct their gender are absolutely not lucky. Why do you think their misfortune makes us lucky?

I'm all for trans rights, consequently I'm also disgusted by you making light of the suffering implied by gender dysphoria.


What are the downsides? People in the UK can still have private insurance if they want, which actually tends to be much cheaper than in the US.


Girkins words are certainly more interesting and relevant than Mashas, even if he is a madman.


These are not construction deaths. The article does not claim that these were construction deaths. That's something you invented in your head.

This number represents all-cause mortality.


These aren't construction deaths. This number includes all causes of death for all 2+ million immigrant workers in Qatar.


These aren't construction deaths. Nor are they deaths related to the world cup. This number includes every migrant worker death in Qatar since the World Cup was awarded, there are over 2 million migrant workers in Qatar.


Sure, except despite the dark patterns the actual experience of using Plex is much better than Jellyfin.

I have a smallish 100TB library I'd really love to move away from Plex, I regularly test out Jellyfin to see if they've finally made it usable. But sadly Jellyfin is still very far from being a good Plex replacement, it's just janky as fuck.

Constant playback errors, terrible client support, significantly higher resource usage.


100TB is not smallish. Here I was, thinking my setup of 8TB was small... What's your hardware? And, if you don't mind me asking, how is that you are using so much space? 4K movies? Honestly curious.
