You make it seem like that was a goal

More likely some key management died allowing the line of succession to punt it onto the markets for a new piggy bank

> google some posters by Josef Muller-Brockmann from the 50’s - they still appear to be designed in 2019

these would make for a kickass site and app designs

its easier to trust private hackers than organizations that have the law on their side

society works with mutual cooperation and hackers seem to understand that more than the "technically cooperating in this context" that the legal field would employ

I always wonder if this is a design flaw, or if there is another completely worse state that the body is trying to prevent happening, a state we don't even know about until we have "cured" inflammation and all these other diseases

sort of like how we wouldn't be studying a lot of this stuff right now if such a large portion of the population hadn't gotten so old

so weird that we live in two totally different worlds, this was a completely benign announcement to me, but to you all of this cognitive dissonance has flooded your mind

what I saw: Hm Stellar has a Development Fund, and people within Keybase' engineering team that wanted cryptocurrency security to be easier so less people get scammed

what you saw: questionable corporate goals because things involving cryptocurrency involve people getting scammed

fascinating, to say the least, it is a perspective.

> ban on the use of facial recognition technology by police and all other municipal agencies

I'm not even sure if the article is what you responded to

Private sector and their partners can all still use it

The tulip bubble is the worst poster child of asset bubbles and irrational exuberance

But at this point, I don't think it matters. Colloquially, saying 'tulips' gets the point across. People know that you are criticizing the exuberance or volatility of an ephemeral asset. People know what asset price distortion you are comparing it to.

it isn't, someone wrote about it on an irrelevant site, someone posted it here and it trends here

it just opens the discussion on this general topic, but nothing really about the specific thing being discussed

Not on the areas people were concerned about regarding human rights

My parents followed the “ADHD is overdiagnosed these other kids just need discipline” script.

My brother as an adult was able to self diagnose and just try adderall(or was it ritalin) since even non-ADHD people get benefits concentrating with it, and yeah that worked out well for him, he doesnt continue using it and can approach professional work more holistically. I would attribute a lot of his academia challenges and underperformance to undiagnosed ADD/ADHD. Works great for the coked out party scene though. Got to swim in the right environment.

I dont have the above experience, but I did take an in person class at a college recently. Havent otherwise done formal education in almost a decade. The first couple of sessions I was fidgeting and couldnt stand sitting still, which was shocking to me but I got acclimated after that. I cant imagine what children are going through, I think our environment isnt helping

It is more important to clone it, so that you have a local copy on your PC

forking is just a gesture, especially for obviously hot repos. a takedown of 1 can takedown all the forks

> The key takeaway that some people will have had from Cambridge Analytica, is not 'they got caught, don't do this', but rather 'they were largely successful and incredibly cheap'.

When you file things in court between private individuals, or for a government indictment, it becomes an instruction manual. Scrap whatever internet marketing handbook you ordered, disregard whatever guru you are following and hoping to trust, these court filings are the canonical source on what successful people are doing online.

> dark web insurance policy which pays out if they are caught

Well, they could now, but I don't really think the market is that mature.

Larger organizations behind drug-peddling conglomerates are adequately hedged and diversified and can withstand a big shipment failing.
