My grandmother insisted I use my right hand to write. Turns out it doesn’t matter that much now, I barely write anything at all. When I do, though, it’s a horrible scrawl, although I don’t know if it’d be the same had I been left to my own devices.

But Code is Law! It’s decentralized and trustless, I’m really disappointed with the victims for going to big government, with cryptocurrency there’s no need for government, lawyers, or banks. The blockchain clearly already decided that the ETH belongs to the two brothers.
What-aboutism is amazing, isn’t it? There’s a response for everything.
Now my friends know I bought an Alienware device. I’m never going to live this down.
I know you’re being flippant, but it’s worth noting that there is a considerable difference between a company getting hacked like this and an app with unfettered access to the cluster to sensors that we’ve got in our pockets.
For what it’s worth I live in a country where the drinking water isn’t flouridated. It’s not a problem and it’s certainly never made the news. I think easy availability of dental care, especially in schools since children tend to not be great at taking care of their teeth, is a bigger concern.
There’s been studies about the negative effects it has on thyroid function for people with hypothyroidism : https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5805681/
Perhaps “state managed” would be a better descriptor for Chinese private companies, since some now have personnel belonging to the CCP serving in management or board positions.
Isn’t every Chinese company partly state-owned?
Looks like it worked a treat. Do WeChat next!
There is no reason for CBDC to use blockchain.
The way I see it, that number is a baseline figure for what their services would be offered for in exchange. If someone came up to me and said “here, I’ll give you $53 and in exchange you’ll let me surveil you for a year” I’d say no, but maybe someone else would’ve said yes. Then, as an experiment, maybe we can let the market take it from there, now that there’s a price and some form of discovery mechanism.
I read somewhere that they’d make it opt-out, but I can’t find that setting anywhere.
I’m okay with having less sugar in our foods, if this is what it takes.
Probably because “installing unsigned code from an unknown source” is a mouthful. Installing implicitly means “from within the walled garden” on these devices.
The piracy bugbear has been raised as the reason why corporations aren’t selling enough since mp3 was invented back in the day. It isn’t always the case. OnlyFans is pirated but the piracy doesn’t affect their bottom line enough to drive them out of business. If you think about it, lots of pornography on the internet is free, and they’re still okay. It’s a much more nuanced discussion than “piracy is stealing” than the corporations want you to think it is.
Edit: if I had to guess, the niche they serve or the value they add on top of “just porn” is something their customers are willing to pay for.
It’s not even that good, I’d take a nice BLT over it any day of the week.
I’ll get my friend to buy it from me for millions, then he can give the money back to me and when it sells again, we can split the profit. It’s win-win!
I’m nearly there, except I can’t get away from Google Maps. There’s not really any alternative here that provides public transport information.
