"12 foot ladder" helps with the paywall on this one. The article is written in a highly credulous tone. I would have appreciated an interview with someone that was actually receiving income and money in Euros out of the scheme. Like, money money.

At the end - Boston Consulting says that 10% of the market will be tokenized. Sure.

Thank you.

terrorists have and can used bio weapons to terrifying effect

Can you please tell me when and where? The Japanese subway gassing comes to mind. Anthrax envelopes in 2001. Any others since then?

Same here - basic but interesting. And hearing about the eugenics never fails to shock me, even when I already know about it.

This interview made me want to read her book.

Sometimes building my vocabulary here is fun. I know nothing about his company but I empathize with their PR people who no doubt comb the internet for media hits.

ChatGPT, give me a phrase for when university professors are found to have committed plagiarism in their dissertations:

*fifteen-year-stale peccadillos *

the data collection process was too time-consuming

Just to show how time-consuming this process might have been, it consisted of two people doing google searches and assigning the names them to a handful of categories.

1 - I copied the list of signatories from their website. 2 -Gina Stuessy and I searched the internet for “(name) lawsuit”, “(name) crime” and also looked at their Wikipedia page. 3 -I categorized any results into “financial”, “sexual”, and “other”, and also marked if they had spent at least one day in jail. 4 -Gina and I eventually decided that the data collection process was too time-consuming, and we stopped partway through. The final dataset includes 115 of the 232 signatories.[2][3]

I learned this in the Jack Reacher books - elbows are harder to break and have more impact.*

I took 15 mg Adderall for the first time in my life today and instead of lunch I finished my work and instead of dinner I played soccer for three hours and now I get why every single person on here is claiming to have ADHD this stuff is sick

Forks should be banned because you can stab people with them

That's why you put a cork on the end of the fork, for safety. Rubrect put a cork on fork, may I got to the bathroom? [short YouTube link]

Anyone remember the South Park episode with the Prius emitting clouds of Smug?

Sharing just in case anyone else needs to see it - Safari on Mac gave me all of those login / logout things, and would not show any posts at all, just an error screen. I couldn't even see this note to know what the problem was, even when refreshing. I went to a clean Firefox browser, saw this, cleared Safari history and all is well.

Bowling Alone stats: slightly higher scores than bowling with other people stats.

Here are my desiderata:

Here are my eyes rolling out of my skull: 𝄇⥀.⥀𝄆

Saving the world sucks unless you do it while traveling the world in luxury as an EA "charity worker" maybe.

I made it to the second sentence and had to google "hedonium," which I figured was a portmanteau-type thing and indeed it was. In my search results for the word, I see LessWrong and Nick Bostrum at the top, so yeah.

I think the long content is a gullibility filter

Like those "one weird trick" videos that go on and on without displaying playback controls. Only the rubes get to the end.

here’s the link to the abomination above and more

The one about sending fire to break down the walls of Gaza looks a little creepy, with people dancing on top of the wall. Released in July of 2023.

I found that really compelling, and I'm not even a programming person. Good info for anyone into "right to repair" stuff.
