They were, but the current popularity of the 2 main parties (in recent times) has led to this or a couple of right wing ones as a popular protest vote.
Reduced barrier to trading too. No KYC, single USDC deposit and you can trade equities with leverage globally vs kycd traditional alternatives.
I guess they solved the trolley problem internally

Security teams for asset discovery likely. Run a periodic search to discover anything you didn’t know about. It used to be simpler when you’d have “your” ip ranges but now you could suddenly be leaking PII on all sorts of big tech hosted services.
The way the documentary never questioned their sales guys claims felt naive

You do have to question why representatives of the people have not managed to address this

There’s a funny amount of beef around using it in art, you have Anish Kapoor who bought exclusive rights to use Vantablack artistically and man of the people Stuart Semple offering his versions Black 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 getting ever blacker.
Re:Should every baby's DNA be sequenced? on Tuesday June 30, 2026 @08:05AM (#48731511)
it’s fair to say there would be great advances from such a programme, I’m personally in favour of medical surveillance generally for this reason.

However to call this outcome unrealistic, now or in the future seems incorrect as there is already a thriving pay for kidney trade.

Not sure how this doesn’t seem to get more attention. Sensitive queries can undoubtedly end up flagged and eventually in front of a human, apparently with the capability to then explore all other submissions from you.

Re:Tell HN: One Medical Is a Nightmare on Tuesday April 28, 2026 @03:12AM (#47931309)
Had a bizarre situation for a while where they had physical branches in Texas, could deliver care, but couldn’t take card payments for years. Medical bills could be paid but the actual subscription couldn’t be. They asked for a cheque. Support promised they wouldn’t pursue the charge until they could take card payments. Obviously they reneged (even with the above statement in writing) and sent it to collections.

I don’t think this idea is that controversial? Most (?) people would agree watching YouTube 16 hrs a day is bad, but agree there is also a benefit to some of the content available.

Re:How to sequence your DNA for <$2k on Saturday October 18, 2025 @10:30PM (#45631715)
For anyone interested I came across this https://blog.monadicdna.com/introducing-monadic-dna-explorer..., a privacy-first genomics tool. Not connected to the project but going to give it a try.
That’s cumulative liquidity available on the right hand side.

i.e the ~13k shown at 99c and ~12k show at 98c aren’t independent. If the 12k is taken at 98c, only 1k would be left avail at 99c.

You’re right if you wanted to hold the price there it would cost you more, however if there isn’t a straight arb, maybe not instantly, and (some) smart bettors might be wary of such a market going to near 100%
