Yeah, AI is a new twist here but the concept of misrepresenting images and stories for attention is ageless.

One person can do something, but one person can’t do everything. If you are already running a farm co-op, leading a union, or so on, you simply don’t have the time to address the hundred other things you can see in the news in a single day. The point still stands, you can’t control everything, so even if you are making change on one or two points, you have to avoid being angry about the hundred other things you cannot.

I have a recursion joke. Re-read this for the punchline.

For me. I don’t care about resolution after I’ve downloaded it. Heck, I don’t need to know the resolution before downloading, I can tell by the file size.

There are some fringe benefits for blockchain but massive issues with normal human issues like:

• Scams/theft: person has the wallet lost through scam or left, how do you invalidate the lost credentials or tickets.

• Wallet loss: loss through any number of means: fire, incompetence, computer being destroyed, loss of account to cloud backup etc

• Issuer need to invalidate: if tickets/credentials were purchased by fraud or an issue occurs where they need to invalidate

How does blockchain handle these common situations?

You guys drive? 💀 My rollerblades were only $200 and the ball bearings are in great shape.

I would love it if every website change on Twitter/X didn’t result in endless “news articles”. I need to find a way to block this crap. I literally don’t care. Stop using X if you don’t like it. Done. Stop talking about it. This is worse than celebrity gossip.

There are 17 million new cars sold in the US every year. Somebody is buying them.

Median new car price is $46k, so $21k after tax credit for a used car is very doable for many.

They’re insanely cheap RIGHT NOW. lol

You can get a used 2018-2020 Tesla (or any other brand) for $25k and then $4k back through a tax credit.

Oops 🙊 you know what I mean though.

A tractor trailer FULL of solar panels would be great!

Putting solar on moving vehicles makes no sense except for very specific use cases.

Install those same panels on the ground and you can point them at a good angle for sunlight capture 24/7, don’t have to literally carry the weight of them everywhere, don’t have to worry about them getting dirty all the time from moving around winter roads, and are much easier to repair.

That could be avoided by using on prem properly, too. People are very capable of making bad infrastructure whether on prem or cloud.
