Tbh I wrote that comment moments after waking up with my eyes barely open.

So it’s HLE?

No I don’t, care to share?

Facebook’s Shadow profile on you doesn’t care whether you have an account or visited their site.

Yea and that’s more than half of the cars driven in the United States.

Decentralization isn’t the reason, and conflating it with fediverse services is disingenuous.

The reason many cryptos use a lot of power is because of proof of work.

Proof of stake and proof of work have the same effective result for voting power. In order to effectively mine, you need a large capital investment and in order to stay competitive in mining you need to continue spending capital, the same is true for proof of stake as the larger overall stake the lower the payouts, so it requires more capital investment.

I don’t understand how they can disclaim liability for generated libel.

If person A googles person B and receives libelous information, person b was not the one using the service / agreeing to terms / otherwise in a contract, the company can’t just opt you in to an agreement that you had no participation in.

You need to tell it to run the script

What helicopters and drones are flying over the ocean, across Europe, Africa and North America?

And what is a ‘courier craft’ do you mean a private airplane?

Private != Billionaire owned, it means a privately owned plane that flies general aviation (non FAR 121)

Transferring organs absolutely happens in private jets.

I think you might just not know what the term ‘private jet’ means.

There are legitimate reasons for private jets to exist, though the list is admittedly small.

The ability to transport lifesaving medications and things like organs long distances as fast as possible comes to mind.

There isn’t much reason for individuals to travel on private jets in non emergency scenarios though

It’s overwhelmingly verbose, on mobile (at least in my app) I have to scroll two screen lengths to get past it thanks to all the embeds.

Zeitgeist could refer to the past though.

Nirvana was part of the zeitgeist of the 90s.

PGP can also do that, properly implemented, a PGP key with a large web of trust, can be just as effective at making immutable certified statements without having this weird cash based speech thing that crypto has going for it.

The fact that every single action you do with crypto involves spending money is ridiculous. I don’t mean the scams and stuff, I mean, every single thing, every transaction, every smart contract, every interaction, who wants to play around with a system that just pilfers your cash from you just for the privilege of exploring it.

At least with aws I can run code locally before they rob me.

Good news is, you will never be able to stop hobbyist 3d printing.

Sorry patent trolls, you can’t make aluminum extrusion, stepper motors, an extruder, and a short circuit illegal.

Why would a system meant to maximize the profit of the bar block out their best customers?

They only want to block fighters and predators because it hurts business, not for any moral reasons.

She’s not white.

I think you mean swabbing the correct word.

Why do you say that? Can you explain yourself beyond just an absolute statement?

Intel’s CEO is an engineer.

I just don’t understand how someone can read all the warnings, get a driver’s license (implying their knowledge of the rules of the road) and presumably have years of driving experience and magically think it’s ok to just stop paying attention.

It doesn’t matter if the car fully promotes itself as self driving, it doesn’t matter if the laws surrounding it still require you to be present and in control.

It’s no different than 1000hp cars, just because the car is marketed as such, doesn’t magically make it legal to go 200mph.
