Wow, CNBC thinks being a shill for corporations that have pushed the throwaway economic model on us is news worthy. Just wait, in their next article they'll talk about the environmental damage of all the throw away electronics. There i

Reading through the article it was interesting until I got to the point where they said corporations have built these as investment markets. That seems to imply some intent that they built this as a way for players to have and hold and grow

Maybe maybe not but people have always predicted the demise of Bitcoin, eventually someone will be right, but just because someone guessed right didn't make them some sort of prognosticator. Considering that the markets have been takin

Regulations follow the money and it's infective. So even in what could seem to be unrelated things depending on the funding or the partnerships or the relationships of those companies they may be under the same compliance burdens. The

I can't answer specifically for their reasons but the general reason for things like this is regulations and compliance. There is a whole pile of compliance and regulations depending on your company and industry and funding and all kin

I suspect a lot of it comes down to how they phrased the question. At this point I think a lot of people have given up on the idea of ownership of their own data, including in the EU. So when you've mentally prepared yourself in a way

I don't think anyone actually read the law including the Forbes article. Apparently my previous comment no one seems to understand even the most perfunctory things about the law. There is no general prohibition about using the seal of

You snip out the important bits. It's not that no one can use the great seal It's that if it's used in such a way where a reasonable person wouldn't believe whatever the item is is actually represented to be by the feder

Does a beer pong set reasonably convey that this is by the US government?

I like it but I have a few suggestions. Instead of the percentage of income at retirement offer the option of a monthly value. The percentage makes sense if you're planning on remaining in the same locality and attempting to stay at yo

I think everyone knows that most people hate AI but a lot of people use it because they feel they don't have a choice. My problem with AI is that it could be such a valuable tool but every implementation, besides trying to run your own

That nebulous label is creep has been dismissed by any reasonable person. Because the same words spoken by two different people and it's creepy in one case and not in the other all through the subjective lens of the receiver. Something

Just because it applied 2500 years ago it doesn't make it not true. I think there's some fallacy that people can cite that this happens most generations and then indicate that it must not be a true thing. What's closer to the

So they dismiss older generations complaining about younger generations but then they give the woe is me older generations never had it as hard as we younger ones. Younger generations have always had an easier time at literally everything.

Of course it also demonstrates the power of misuse something like this has. Because only the ignorant think that secret databases in the hands of government will never be misused. If we want to build a database of DNA tied to individuals th

I hope what I'm about to say doesn't actually come true but I do fear over the last couple of decades that we are being set up for it. In the past, and unless developed countries, elder care has been around quantity of life and no

You clearly didn't seem to read anything that I wrote, especially the point about where the constitutional power to make money and set the value comes from. Nor does it seem you understand anything about the Constitution itself. Becaus

What Trump says is not wrong, and because some local municipality has passed ignorant laws is not a reason to keep the penny around or to delay it's removal. Move fast break things I believe is the motto. But for being hacker news ther

Anyone who shows up and their only contribution is to push AWS services because that's what they know, the first question I asked them is if they are capable of doing it themselves on-prem. Their answer is no or they don't know ho

You are factually incorrect. Documented means that they are legally allowed to be in the country which is why they have received work permits and that they have received social security numbers. They have a legal status which is why they ar

You're forgetting that table saws were invented thousands of years after hand saws. Master Craftsman used hand saws to do all of the things that are done with table saws. Many things are much easier on a table saw and much faster to do

But table saws are a replacement for manual saws. Table saws weren't invented first. Table saws fulfilled a niche use case for sawing. So by that saw stop is a replacement for a manual saw. If you've ever used a hammer, a tool tha

Everybody knows about saw stop. But in what way does a table saw compare with a hammer? If you were comparing it to an air nailer, or an electric nail gun, or an electric screw gun, which all can have safety features that require certain th

It probably wouldn't be classified as a hammer anymore. You're comparing apples and oranges. Now when you show me the manual hand saw that can avoid cutting off your fingers you'll have an accurate comparison. Because we&#x27
