I have a good number of fb friends that I would absolutely recommend for a job. This has little to do with how close I am to them and a lot to do with the kinds of stuff they post/comment.

Pornhub is competent, "gets" Tumblr, and has the know-how when it comes to filtering porn. With how cheap they're going to get this, this could be a massive win for Pornhub.

Re first question: That is correct. BAT is trackable as are all Ethereum tokens. But Ethereum 2.0 is planned to allow much more powerful privacy features, so it's not clear what choices BAT will make when the option is available.

That the prevalence of a chronic illness increases with age is completely unsurprising. The fact that depression is (incorrectly) thought to be the opposite of happiness is a coincidence. I'm not sure that people get happier with age,

You think refusing to delete a snuff film would give them good PR? Presumably because they stuck to their principles??? What world do you live in? People by and large do not actually want that level of free speech.

The parent was quite clearly in favour of punishing the driver even when they were operating everything correctly, for the purpose of disincentivising unsafe code at the point of purchase . I'm saying that this is a bad proposal.

I think his point was that a $200 million home doesn't actually buy you all that much more happiness than a $20 million home. Well, apart from the trampoline room that he seems very fond of.
