Or Jackdaws! (Here’s the thing....)


No they're not. An innocent person can't succumb to an ICO the way anyone can get Cancer.

This is just a very old story: "A fool and his money."


cancer isn't transmittable either


There are several forms of transmittable cancer in other species. Luckily none in humans yet.


HPV could be considered transmittable cancer. Some types of cancer only occur because of an HPV infection.


Some viruses, like HPV, are transmittable and can cause cancer



isn't that more like "a virus that's transmittable that causes cancer", not "cancer that's transmittable"?


Exactly! These countries may start blocking Amazon and Cloudfront domains. Amazon needs to put its foot down.


Why should we in the United States coerce (or sneak into) countries whose Governments don't want us there? Are these folks really "idealists" who think that access to tools like "Signal" will usher in a new spring! (See how well that worked in Egypt and Syria?)

Let these Nations enjoy their sovereign right to protect their borders--even their digital ones--as they see fit.


A nation != its current government

Citizens under oppressive governments often don't like their governments. The feeling's usually mutual. Some people in such countries - I actually think "most" but I'll remain conservative here - appreciate such tools and its creators. Not necessarily to do anything so ambitious as "ushering in new springs", but often simply to talk to relatives or make online friends or learn new things or exchange ideas online. In case you didn't realize it, lack of freedom and powerlessness really brings down one's mood, and anything to brighten it up is welcome.


Because to YCombinator fans Microsoft is always bad, and nobody should ever be able to own intellectual property.


Microsoft didn’t imprison anyone. The U.S. government did.


Ha!

Neither buyer nor seller is protected with Crypto Currencies.


Exactly. So if people claim that they are "lactose intolerant" and can drink A2 with no bad effect, they are not making much sense.


It makes sense: they assumed they were lactose intolerant because they had digestive problems with milk; but then found out the problem is something else.

That "something else" may be the A1 protein but they don't want to make assumptions too quickly this time.


I don't want to see another good cheap source of protein be demonized, the way gluten (seitan) and peanuts have been. Most people can tolerate milk well.


It's one of the highest quality news sources in the United States and many people pay for it.
