They do mention in the description being inspired by Mass Effect so I guess they felt a visit to the $COLOUR-Skinned Space Babe spin wheel was part of the deal.

Well, I think there are a few people who invested in GME to stick it to the man, or in Musk's companies for some other reason.

Are people that indifferent to cybersecurity in your opinion? There are lots of ways to lose money that can't that easily be clawed back.

And those are mostly third world countries so I doubt it would look good to basically sanction countries that have enough trouble with national debt as it is. And is there any country where the "bilateral" cybercrime is more signi

Is it completely implausible to tell the country where that exchange took place that it's their problem if they failed to enforce KYC/AML laws and check who is exchanging those fungible commodities and its origins?

I like the interpretation of cybercriminals as privateers, specially where the state lets it be like in Russia.

The UN is mostly about talking to others IMHO. The UN is not supposed to be the world government and actually doing things specially against the consent of the great powers is just not its job or what it was designed to do.

I suspect we should be blaming the diplomats and the national leaders giving them orders, who should be responsible to the people, not the UN bureaucracy or the people who work there that doesn't actually that much decision making powe

Don't we blame phone companies for being vulnerable to SIM card swapping?

They could have mandated stronger security. Wouldn't even 2FA have avoided this issue? Or even some even stronger measures like enforcing use of hardware security keys.

There was a couple of The Guardian investigations, but it was mostly about another type of questionable carbon credit source, forest protection: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verified_Carbon_Standard#Contr... And the f

Mostly yes but I doubt anyone thinks Toyota when hearing "Western [car] firms".

Yes that's what you sell but if you also have development costs and your freeriding competitor doesn't, how often do the finances of it work out?

You think this is some real innovative tech or is "AI" here just as a buzzword for old statistics and programming?

IIRC in Western societies fertility does go up at very high income, so I think there's some truth in that common argument. "Lack of money to raise kids in the way I wish my kids to be raised" may be closer to the truth. I thi

Potentially stupid question: if you cancel the virtual credit card, can't the company then send your debt to collections resulting in a bigger headache?

Missing a payment and having to pay a late fee or interruption to an important service seems bad in fairness.

It may be simply a case of the people who most need this stuff are the most likely to lack either or both mental energy or the requisite knowledge. And frankly, I don't see why the government shouldn't mandate making it easy to un

I get a bit the article because you can easily start thinking wrong if you're aren't careful, most obviously by committing the exact mistake of thinking the corporation loves you back. Or by being unduly favourable to an instituti

Can it train on the Wikipedia meta community? Maybe we could get an LLM that talks like "You're wrong, see WP:V, WP:RS, WP:WTF".

That may be partly true but are small open source groups going to have the financing to do AI training that can compete with the big techs? I think the most likely scenario is for some other country with a less strict view of copyright ( ah

This other article says around Baltic Avenue was an African-American neighbourhood, not a literal ethnic Baltic neighbourhood. https://medium.com/galleys/behind-the-cardboard-streets-6f1d...

What I find slightly weird is that this has been technically possible with a combination of modern cryptography and physical infrastructure for decades but it's still so incipient.

I can't remember the specific sources but at least for the military the things that violate social normals and aren't done do happen, although it's usually something more political than aesthetics. But then that runs the risk
