this is good as a short term solution but it should really be a new system without commercial banks or any other for profit entity. if you give up sepa compatibility you can have things like payments to alias with real name invisible to oth

this is one of those stories where everyone involved is a terrible person. we have a professor who stole others work to get promoted (but also donated millions to good causes), a law firm he hired that abuses libel law to scare journalists

because they think jury trials work the way they are supposed to work. the system is broken because juries are not required (or even allowed ) to explain their decision, and the selection process is not that good at removing bias. thats ho

youre forgetting about efficiency gains. the economy can grow a lot faster than natural resources. if you have extremely cheap power (solar and nuclear) you can recycle basically everything , even things that are not economical to recycle

the way i see it there are 3 types of resellers. the ones using fake credit cards to rack up costs and then cancel the card are doing actual fraud. then you got mass free trial abuse which is more of a gray area and i would say its still wr

this is not happening because ai is so good it can replace workers. its because its good enough to look like it can replace workers to a non technical manager, and that gives execs an excuse to fire people (or not hire them) so they can
