What an odd title. WorldCoin never masked its biometric collection effort as “public art”. There was never any mention of art anywhere in the white paper or anything. Art has literally nothing to do with any of what WorldCoin is doing.
The concerns about WorldCoin are absolutely genuine and worthy of public discussion, but this particular title is just clickbait from an art publication trying to draw traffic about a trendy but unrelated AI and crypto topic.
Another voice for the Brother laser printer, a truly dependable workhorse.
In the timeless wisdom words of George Carlin,
Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.
If Netflix’s reporting on the matter is to be believed, then it’s an ironic outcome considering the wave of strongly-opinionated comments predicting the death of Netflix following the crackdown on password sharing. I guess convenience and habits really trump principles and posturing.
Suck it Karl Popper!
Just because he called it an apparent paradox doesn’t mean that Popper disagrees with you. He merely said that open societies should first fight intolerance with reason and civil discourse; but if that fails, the tolerant majority should hold the right to suppress intolerant opinions.
a free educational resource about the financial markets in the United States
seems to contradict
a service to the worldwide investing community
So is this relevant to non-US investors?
I think I speak for most of the world when I say “Netflix still does DVDs??”
I mean, you literally do, because that service apparently only existed in the US.
In the US, perhaps. But the logic that “if you work at a Catholic school you gotta do their shit” is precisely the problem here, and what needs to change. In many other countries, a contract is unenforceable if it contains discriminatory terms. The onus ought to be on religious schools to adapt to contemporary societal norms if they want to engage with society through labor, procurement, etc contracts. Otherwise we’re just tolerating and perpetuating little islands of discrimination and bigotry in the name of religious freedom.
U.S.* court, Op. It’s important to add that to the title and not let readers have to figure it out.
Title is borked - what was on sale were credentials to remotely view home cameras in which child nudity may occasionally be involved, and still pictures of the same. There is no mention of abuse nor deliberate exploitation of children. It’s still completely fucked up, illegal, and a massive privacy breach, though.
I miss it too - the curated experience after years of filtering out the crap and muting the nonsense, the sleek UX in Apollo, and the many friendly and familiar voices left behind who didn’t make the switch.
My advice would be - don’t give up on the Fediverse just yet. It will take a bit of time for the dust to settle and these multiple federated communities to find their voice. Like on Reddit, don’t ever browse /all - it’s just a litany of low-effort memes. Be deliberate about which communities you sub to, and browse by /sub. There’s enough quality content here to fill a feed, though perhaps not in any single community where the critical mass has not yet been reached to offer fresh content throughout the day.
Je réagis juste sur ce point car l’avion est indéniablement trop cheap pour une raison simple : il est indirectement subventionné. Environ 15% des humains en vie aujourd’hui ont pris l’avion, mais 100% paient le prix des externalités négatives (essentiellement le réchauffement climatique auquel l’aviation contribue environ 3–4%). C’est donc une subvention déguisée par tous ceux qui ne volent pas mais en subissent les conséquences malgré tout (coût d’adaptation au changement climatique, perte d’activité agricole, décès surnuméraires, migrations forcées, etc).
Si l’on devait réintégrer le coût de ces externalités dans la structure tarifaire d’un billet d’avion, selon le principe pollueur-payeur, ce serait environ $180 dollars par tonne de carbone qu’il faudrait facturer aux passagers. On serait alors plus proche du coût réel du transport aérien.
