It’s deletorious to your health to be obese, so at the very least it is definitely a health hazard to the person. Making it illegal would be highly problematic though. How would you enforce the law? Would an obese person be forced by the state to go to a correctional facility? What kind of person would be classified obese?
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.
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.
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!
Things like Fat Acceptance and trying to normalize being obese are part of the issue. Being obese is not physically healthy and there should be appropriate social pressure to counteract that.
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.
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.
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!
Understandable but this is not a fuse in common usage of the word, which is used to break a circuit to protect against over-current. Rather it’s an part that changes state irreversibly (much like a fuse would) when something happens. There is no implication that it would cut off the power to the CPU in this sense.
We should also penalize the platform, in this case YouTube, if the offense was demonstrably committed for the sake of posting content on these platforms for personal gain. That way we also disincentivize this kind of behaviour at the source.
It’s true. Pragmatically speaking if you don’t have access to the server software you can’t play it if the servers go down, and besides reverse engineering or the goodwill of the developers I’m not aware of any games with online components that continue to be playable after their servers are taken down.
Weird I downloaded it in Firefox and all it shows is

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.
