Officially they launched 2 weeks ago. You wouldn’t count the time from 2010 to 2022 where Liz Truss was in Parliament as part of her premiership. From what I understand, until the end of July when they launched, WLD was not yet available to

So if we start with your premise, the attack I can see being a concern is being able to deny people access to Worldcoin and burning their accounts/tokens by maliciously attacking an orb. If keys can be revoked because of illicit usage,

2 weeks after launch and a government is already able to disrupt their operations? Liz Truss lasted as Prime Minister for longer than that.

The tone and quality of this article is atrocious. Let alone demanding that software developers (the very ones the author spends a chunk of the article belittling) work for free for 15 years. There is more nuance than upgrading everything 6

Other than everything that they can do today to prevent you from interacting with other governments or with third parties like imprisoning you or worst.

What mechanism prevents the government from “un-person-ing” someone if Worldcoin was used as the global identity system?

by kemotep 3y ago
The company behind Worldcoin are making fairly bold claims about the capabilities of their cryptocurrency and “proof of humanity” project. I think it is important to fully evaluate these claims and not take them on face value. From worldcoi

If there are ways to track whose id came from what orb it is completely possible to deanonymize people’s world ids. And if worldid was ever used for a voting system, wiping out the votes of people who come from a specific area would be incr

Is it possible for people to understand how it works and to still oppose it being broadly adopted in your opinion? Can you please clarify what exactly others are not understanding or misrepresenting?

1. The grandparent comment asked for “Any citations on every trans person in the South being singled out for denial of services by the government.” The great grandparent comment only mentions asking the opinion of a transgender person i

Banning gender affirming care effectively is singling out transgender people and denying them services[0]. Additionally there was a recent Supreme Court decision allowing businesses to discriminate against people[1]. Additionally in living

That’s fair enough. Ostensibly the government of any country should be accountable to the people but history shows that cannot be counted on. As convenient as Apple Pay is, I would not vote for a cashless system. I am just confused that ver

Where are these theories of how a hypothetical future CBDC come from? Is there an official announcement from the Federal Reserve about how they would like it to work? A committee hearing in Congress where this is discussed?

by kemotep 3y ago
If you are assuming how a hypothetical future currency will work then we could easily assume exactly the opposite and the money would be destroyed by a set date to maintain some stable rate of deflation. Do you have evidence that a time to

Why would the government program money to expire? Would the money not become effectively worthless the closer to the expiration date? Why would a business accept transactions from people with money that’s about to expire would that then mea

Thanks for the update. I will certainly keep an eye for it.

With Bitwarden supporting passkeys soon[0] is there any announcement from Proton that they would as well? Seems odd to release a password manager at this time and not mention at least eventually supporting WebAuth/FIDO2/passwordle

If you are tired of “various Russia Gates affairs” then being happy with a company having ties to the Russian government seems counterproductive.

Well, for me at least twitter is dead since I can no longer visit the site without an account. As someone who used twitter for a decade without an account my twitter usage is now zero since that change.

I truly believe that we are talking past each other. I understand all of what you are saying and was aware of it before now. I do not see the value add of non-fungible tokens in relation to games beyond a single game. Partnerships, deals, d

Then why use a blockchain at all? The arbitrary code part is the extensible nature of Solidity smart contracts (in the case of Ethereum). If third party game developers can’t utilize their nfts in your game without an established partnershi

I’m sure you can understand why game developers are not too keen on allowing third parties to upload arbitrary code into their online games that they can’t easily control? Allowing people to upload a weapon that does infinite damage or a sk

The idea of subscribing to get games (movies and TV shows) instead of buying to own them Netflix is certainly still doing. Constant, consistent revenue by having people subscribe instead of paying a bunch to market to them and hope it is a

Microsoft still needs more studios to make Game Pass a “Netflix for Gaming” service. WoW and CoD and the rest of the ActiBlizz back catalog help but Microsoft still doesn’t have enough studios to be pumping out a new major release every mon

Charge times are a factor for me. I may drive less than 50 miles a day (within range that even a plug in hybrid could have enough range) but since I live in an apartment, I can only trickle charge from the 120v outlet in my unit’s garage. I

For a personal project or a team of professionals that understand how public key cryptography works this is a, albeit expensive, solution for a cryptographically proven voting system. For an election system that a government would use? Abso

I would have a lot more free time? I don’t understand the question. If I didn’t work at all but lived off of passive income due to an inheritance or investments, I would have even more free time. I could probably live to the same standards

Only working 150 days a year probably left a lot of time to go fight in one of those wars, peasant uprisings, and the crusades that were going on.
