Well maybe it’s time to start protesting? What always amazes me is how much this is tolerated in the “Land of the free”. At what point do Americans stand up for democratic principles? This pathetic “we can’t do anything” attitude will be ho

I agree with your point, but social media certainly appears to amplify the effect, regardless of what the root cause may be. I wonder if perhaps the main problem is that social media changes the structure of human interaction by allowing th

The words you’re looking for are “hospitality” and “commercial display” The hospitality versions will be cheaper than commercial (commercial displays are designed to last longer with continuous operation).

Yep. I’m not really looking forward to buying a hospitality or commercial version for my next TV but I fully expect that is how it will go when I tell the local electronics store that I just want a display. It’s similar to the whole online

Mycorrhiza are not a new discovery, nor are soil bacteria playing an imporant role. I'm not sure any of this is really "new". Amateur cannabis growers have been brewing compost tea to enhance the bacterial/fungal/ne

How do you deal with the complexity of taxing suppliers and customers of businesses? How do you determine the value of goods exchanged and ensure these are equitably taxed? What happens when you've got a mega-corporation that is both s

This is a great point, I've heard of people purchasing a piece of furniture, getting wicked allergy symptoms/irriated airways, buying one of these tVOC meters, and finding out it's their chair/couch/etc. She got sic

Eh, this biological grey goo is likely so crappy at surviving that it would get snuffed out or out competed by any random culture from the bottom of your shoe. I'd be more concerned about viral gain of function research and the weaponi

Here I am still waiting for my Purism Librem 5 I ordered in 2019 while google continues to suck up my data. Any day now...

It can work both ways. It's just easier to create an NFT of a hashed and signed set of metadata + URL than it is to encode all of this artwork on an actual blockchain.

> So when Kuennen bought that Moon Ticket, there was no JPEG logged onto the blockchain itself. There was just a certificate, pointing to an URL. This is pretty funny. So the NFT isn't even of the actual image itself but just a URL

A quick 10 minute google shows there are a ton of mines around Pabineau, evidence of heavy metal contamination in the area, as well as historical spraying of chlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (CDDs) in the area. Would be interesting to know whe

I'd be willing to bet most of the worlds youth are less enthused about American culture after the last 4 years. Would be interesting to compare sentiments between other countries. The box office thing just seems to be that domestic fil

The inherent radiation danger seems largely overblown to me. Chernobyl is the only accident that has caused any real human impact beyond psychological terror, and it was an unsafe design with zero safety features. It's design flaws wer

You're absolutely right regarding UAC in Windows environments. Windows 10 has even more awesome security features like credential guard and device guard that a lot of IT departments don't even know exist. If UAC is disabled by GPO

From an infosec professional perspective, this one is always a challenge for security sensitive places. I agree with you that developers need admin rights on their development machines, but I have witnessed first hand why many companies att
