We crave stuff that’s important to our health, BUT at the same time was generally only available in very small quantities in past ages. That’s why we crave it, so, when it becomes available, we don’t miss out on it.

“the platform was a private chain and that the information on it was controlled and distributed by the city”
In other words: it’s useless for the supposed purposes of increasing accountability, because that’s only a property of a _public_ blockchain. A private blockchain can be manipulated at will by the entity holding…

Sounds like Chipotle’s marketing department didn’t get the memo that Bitcoin has crashed half a year ago, and that it has since become a persona non-grata virtually all over the world anyway, because of environmental and legal reasons.

The sentence is supposed to be demonstration of how finished and polished Autopilot is

As always, this will just cause more problems than it solves. Because now the “counterfeit” artwork will be registered first on the blockchain by the scam artists (who will unavoidably happen not to be members of DA in the majority of cases), and the original author will have even less chance to monetize his own…

It’s been shifting ever since the first Disney Star Wars movies came out. Obviously the prequels were not as good as the originals, but they’re still very very good compared to the Disney abominations. 

Reading comprehension : you = 1 : 0. Try again!

Just more reason to crack down as hard on FB not only on regards of charging for news publication, but on every other issue, as possible. You know you did it right when FB will beg for mercy and ask for permission to do business in your country. Same thing with every other tech giant.

Tesla actually did nothing to improve climate change, because they sold all their carbon credits, which means that whatever amount of carbon emissions they possibly save the planet from, with the sale of the credits they allowed other companies to pollute the same amount more. Elon is simply a narcissistic hypocrite,…

“Officers on the case did not share details about the items in the barrel or a potential cause of death”
An obvious case of a man dying, then crawling into a barrel and dropping himself with the barrel into a lake. Case closed.

But when I ordered “artificial female bodies” for my experiments at home, I was labeled a perv

“The U.S. Ninth Circuit of Appeals ruled Monday that scraping personal data from a public website is totally, entirely legal.”
Yeah, that’s totally not what the court has ruled. Instead what the court ruled was that hiQ [the scraper in this case] “raised serious questions about whether LinkedIn could invoke the CFAA to…

The faster we ban “cryptos”, the better we’ll be off. They’ve proven to be a failure in every regard we hoped they would transform the world to the better, and they only proved to be effective at enabling things no sane society would want to support: scams, financing crimes and avoiding taxation of the rich.

If someone does something like this, you can know they are a scam artist. Why? Because only scam artists need and try to manipulate you through your visceral reactions and emotions. If somebody wants to sell you something that’s not a scam, they don’t need that, as they can convince you simply by presenting rational…

That’s not method acting. It’s just being a jerk.

In short: we’re all f-ed.

Sounds like a job for Garak

How is this a surprise considering the fact that alcohol is a neurotoxin? It works by definition by blocking and damaging neurons and nerves.

Out of control narcissistic mental sociopaths behave the same all over the world, regardless of country

Musk not being in jail already is the perfect summarization of what’s wrong with today’s world
