Like our current food supply isn't highly processed already [0]... This law has nothing to do with preserving tradition. It has to do with populist right wing politics that ban anything new. High level cuisine will always exist, even w

I find it interesting that, for some reason, mentioning Web3 very quickly ended up at libertarianism. My point was that storing essential data on a blockchain means it can be distributed and there's no single point of failure. For some

Yeah, in theory it's a great idea. In practice, it always ends up as a challenge for economies of scale. Just look at Bitcoin, we can all mine it, but it's not worth it unless you scale. In the end, someone will build a data cente

Sophisticated criminals don't bring ladders to climb in order to fiddle with SD card slots. They want easy in and easy out. And they usually wear masks, so the video you do record are useless anyway.

You can easily do a very simple test yourself to see whether (and in which cases) this is worthwhile: In your browser, open dev tools, go to the network tab and enable throttling. For fun, set it all the way down to GPRS speed. Next, refres

Yeah, that's just horrible. We're emptying the oceans at an alarming rate. If they want to do it right, they shouldn't allow fish either.

I have a youtube channel, where in 12 years ago, I uploaded some Astral Projection songs, racking up over 300k views in total. This is the only reason my channel has 100+ followers. I considered deleting the videos, because of clear copyrig
