I posted it on my subspace story.

Failed in 2021 with the height of memecoin/NFT frenzy.

Because that's not how software features work?

You don't ask, "Hey, I don't have a printer, please disable the Print feature in MS word."

No, you just... don't click that button.

Butlerian Jihad when??

Not that I disagree, but I want to confirm: you are suggesting the reason (or one of the reasons) they chose to do stone carving, as opposed to some other form of monastic pursuit, was because it took a lot of time and effort?

It's a 51% attack in real life.

That sentiment seems to fail the test with reality, because you have people following the rules and behaving perfectly normally (like the subject in this story) who end up getting scrutinized anyway. That's a recipe for increasing anti-social behavior. After all, why bother following the rules if it doesn't keep me out of trouble?

Your comment somehow got quashed.

Yes, and 5 years and 1 Chapter 11 bankruptcy later, WeWork is now (EBITDA) profitable.

And they've gone private now.

> the account had been created using Smith's Social Security number and date of birth

This may be enough to open an investigation and start gathering more evidence, but doesn't satisfy probable cause. The cops and court screwed up.

A database match is not enough to confirm that this specific person (may have) committed the crime.

It would be like sending a ransom note asking the money be sent to Joe Smith, 123 Fake St. That doesn't really tell you anything about Joe Smith's connection to the crime. It's completely incidental.

"You really think someone would do that? Just go on the internet and tell lies?"

Why bother breaking through the glass front, when most places of business have a very obvious back door just waiting.
