Oh she’s definitely a spoiler candidate, the question is whether she’s doing so intentionally.

Not to mention, he tends to spend his money by investing in startups that (as far as I can tell) actually solve a problem. He’s not one to cut corners and inflate values needlessly, and he’s far more concerned with making a business successful than extracting every penny of profit possible.

Do I think it’s bad that one man has as much power has he does? Absolutely. Am I glad that at least one man with as much power as he does uses it to make the world a little better? You bet.

Mark Cuban is not an example of why Billionaires should be allowed to exist, he’s just an example of how being a billionaire doesn’t NECESSARILY mean you’re an evil person.

Oh yeah I remember how the green party caused Florida to be just barely conservative in 2000 when the supreme Court blocked the recount.

It really sucks to see.

Yeah I get a big popup that says “Plaintext is exclusive to subscribers” on the direct link. However if I enable reader mode, navigate to the author’s page, then navigate back, it works fine

I got 2 downvotes so far but this is a sincere question

Look I’m not the smartest person but I genuinely don’t know what the answer is. Can you tell me what page of the back of the book it’s on?

This is the most incredible article I’ve ever. EVER. Read.

This will change the world, so long as the word gets out and Big Pharma doesn’t somehow force the government to crack down on it and stop people from accessing the materials they need to make their own meds.

Adjusted for time since release, 4 more to go!

I think I know what you mean. It’s like the Internet has allowed us to share how fucked up each and every corner of the world is and it aggregates the worst of it and puts it on full display. So now I can’t really feel anything when I see headlines as awful as this, I just turn into an unfeeling psychopath. Luckily my moral brain and my feeling brain are different, and the moral brain still wants to do something about this injustice, however I can.

Plastics are only plastics when many separate (often gaseous) molecules called monomers form large chains or webs called polymers. If you vaporize a polymer, it gets reverted to being many monomers

Jack Dorsey sure kept a lot of stake in his company after handing the reigns over to people who would never understand how to run it

Never fire someone for an accident unless the accident was a symptom of willful negligence. Fire them for being unqualified or incompetent, sure, but not for an honest mistake. Training someone to avoid that mistake in the future will be far less expensive than replacing them, and they’re going to be far less likely to make mistakes like it ever again.

If you distribute encrypted materials you also need to distribute a means of decryption. I’m willing to bet a honeypot was used to trick him into distributing his csam right to the government hinself.

Get those vmwate vibes back

Time for a calm existence experiencing nothing and going nowhere, never

I’m a free speech absolutist, but only for “Free as in free beer”, and “speech as in Oscar acceptance speech”. Don’t let people charge to hear what they have to say, and start loudly playing music over them if they go on too long

While I doubt he’s the spitting image of a healthy body, I’m willing to bet a lot of the chub on him is a bulletproof vest. I don’t believe for a second the man goes anywhere without one these days

NFTs are great for replacing things like deeds or vehicle titles, where we need paperwork to verify ownership. But the problem arises when it’s cryptographically hard (meaning exceedingly unlikely on reasonable timescales) to reverse fraudulent transfers of those documents. Cutting out a centralized authority at the price of making the system more vulnerable for gullible people is almost always not worth it.
