If it's any consolation I'm just American and I believe Trump is an incontinent rubber stamp for any brown-noser that orbits him and Elon deserves to be unceremoniously gored with a brick.

Maybe we'll get a solid Somaliland in the ensuing chaos after this current unmanaged Chapter 11 leads to a messy Chapter 7.

Treating the government like a startup is gambling, the difference is startups are intentionally disposable while a Nation State... it's a fucking Nation State.

If the only thing it can accomplish is being traded back and forth for "hard" currencies such as the US Dollar than it's no more useful than the Soviet Ruble.
It's not even useful as an actual anonymous currency, it's not even anonymous without a considerable amount of legwork.

So you are just flooding a submission box with meaningless noise that at worst merely sounds plausible but doesn't actually work that way in experimentation?
It's like trying to pull knowledge from the old Library of Babel website, a repository with every combination of letters, a tremendous volume of noise, and zero discernment of what is true or applicable among it. At best it is merely a glorified filter to that repository that only outputs sentences that are coherent at face value.

Considering how broadly unpopular the idea is to average people who don't aspire to own cryptocurrency (especially after FTX publicly ate its own organs) I don't see it being particularly difficult to find support for such laws in more liberal places such as the EU.

I think in places like Italy they discover something of that sort almost every single time they dig a hole deep enough into the ground (eg during construction).

Prostitution is legal in the State of Nevada but is outlawed again specifically for Las Vegas on a local level.
In school it was my literal case study in software ethics.

Re:Microsoft Azure Kinect Kits Discontinued

That's strange, I thought they had found a much more steady niche in industrial uses than they did as video game peripheral. People seem to be buying them for such uses pretty much as early as the Xbox 360 Kinect came out.
Re:The Xbox 360 Store Will Close July 2024
on Friday August 18, 2023 @12:39PM (#37178219)
Honestly I find it amazing just how long the 360 has gone without a viable modern softmod. There was one singular one found on a firmware so old it still has the blades dash but otherwise no modern ones are publicly known. That said, I wouldn't be surprised if one appeared almost immediately after the store was closed because the person or group who found it was waiting for just that situation before releasing it.
Just what did Microsoft get right in terms of security on the Xbox 360's software?

Because that would involve these people caring about their "boots on the ground" or thinking in the long term.
Those two things to happen less and less as things scale up and become public respectively.

I'm glad the well of peer to peer projects hasn't been irrecoverably poisoned by the most recent rise and fall of cryptocurrency in recent years. Can't wait for more practical and interesting things to come from the concept.
