Similarly, the United States goes to war against the fundamentalist theocracy in Iran. And who do I find myself kinda sorta rooting for?

There’s been a spate of Discord-based hacking attempts lately, two of my friends have had to do this. They can’t get their old accounts back, Discord is basically just ignoring them. Starting new accounts is easy.

The hard part is that they also lost their gmail accounts, that’s a lot more important for most people to be able to recover. I recommend everyone with a gmail account do the “create an emergency recovery code” thing, print it out and store it somewhere safely off anything digital.

Well, exactly. Put it somewhere between those extremes. Dials like these are important for avoiding the hyper-polarization the world is afflicted with these days.

I’ve pondered my own lack of interest and I think it comes down to the Artemis program’s design being such a shitshow. Sure, if you throw enough brute force budget and a long enough time you can get astronauts back to the Moon. But they’re doing it in such a poor manner that I doubt anything will come of it long-term. It’s going to be another unsustainable flags-and-foot-prints stunt.

Some of the recent changes hint at NASA maybe finally getting their act together, but I’ll believe it when I see it - NASA doesn’t actually call the shots here. It’s a political program.

Hardly surprising considering the increasingly extreme narratives being driven about AI on social media.

The Democrats never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity.

I’m sure this isn’t really about saving money. It’s about destroying the US Forest Service. That’s the direct goal.

If NATO were to be killed, the non-US members would most likely want to create a new alliance just like NATO but without the US in it. So if the US leaves it may be simplest to just tweak the existing one.

On the other hand, it’s well designed to surface inside information. Exactly the thing that lots of people complain about, but it’s a good thing if you’d like to use the prediction market to make predictions like this.

That makes things worse for America, not better.

It also would be pretty straightforward for AI to flare-proof itself.

Likely a major reason why Stack Overflow has suffered so catastrophically since LLMs got good.

There are several that are indeed designed for anonymity, such as Monero or Zcash. And others that have mechanisms for anonymity within them, such as Ethereum’s Tornado Cash mixer or Aztec rollup.

In the specific case of Iran and Bitcoin, using a currency that requires expenditure is actually a benefit. It increases demand for the very thing that they’re selling.

More generally, though, there are plenty of cryptocurrencies that don’t burn significant quantities of energy. Anything running on Ethereum has been validated using proof-of-stake since 2022.

So shooting the children of politicians you disagree with over economic policies is akin to resisting slavery, by your standards? This is getting ridiculous.

Indeed. But also apparently very popular in this news community.

I’m sure “I was just trying to send a message, your honor” will hold up well in court.

The bed just keeps getting comfier and comfier over time.

That’ll take too long. Eat it five bites at a time.

City councillors are not exactly big-name political powers.
