they are gonna launch another coin? they have enough failing coins already, but i guess the stupidity of MAGA still has not bottomed out. I wonder if MAGA will see sense or run out of money first?

I go to Reddit specifically for human answers. The experience of actual people. Why would I want Reddit AI when there are plenty of AIs available. Reddits USP is that there are experts of almost every domain lurking in one subreddit or another.

I recently picked up Mirrorshades and The Big Book of Cyberpunk (edited by Jared Shurin) [1]
Will check this one out too!

Thanks, picked up the big book, but I got it as 2 volumes. So not quite so big perhaps

If you are looking for a recent anthology of cyberpunk you could do worse than rewired
Rewired: The Post-cyberpunk Anthology
Some great stories in there and no bad ones at all. IMO
What a horrible dark pattern
So a max of 25 years but restitution of 19million dollars to pay, so I'm guessing he is going to get a lower end sentence, deportation and the restitution as a fine. December 11th for sentencing
There is no such thing as unlimited. Everything is subject to fair use and it seems they are now communicating those limits clearly.
they are communicating the limit exists clearly, they are not `communicating those limits clearly`
celticninja commented on Return of wolves to Yellowstone has led to a surge in aspen trees livescience.com/animals/l... · Posted by u/geox
I’ve always found the idea of “restoring” ecosystems a bit philosophically tricky. When we say that reintroducing wolves led to ecological improvements, what’s our reference point? Are we comparing it to Yellowstone 100 years ago? 500? Pre-human settlement?
Ecological baselines are inherently arbitrary—there’s no objectively “correct” state of nature to return to. The systems we call degraded are often just different, not necessarily worse. So when we talk about progress in this context, we’re really measuring against a value-laden idea of what we think nature should look like, not some neutral truth.
That doesn’t mean rewilding is bad—but I do think we should acknowledge that we’re shaping nature to fit human values, not restoring it to some pure, original state.
Agree but more species is definitely better than less species. We are not aiming to get dinosaurs back, but pre industrial era levels of wildlife is not a bad thing.

This reads like every single self-help book ever. "Grow and cultivate your network (and make sure you're genuine), dress for the job you want (or act like the job you want), other generic stuff about networking."
I don't know, I don't see an inherent issue with this, I think there's value in some things said here but I don't see a lot of value in "going out and meeting more than 1-2 people per week" or whatever. It feels like one of those things you read and get excited about then have no way to act because "Oh yeah let me just go meet people! At ... walmart maybe?"
This should just boil down to "say yes" to invites

I would read more about the new powers that Ofcom has...the type of person who bloviates online about everyone else being stupid tends not to have actually checked what is going on.
Also, none of these laws are led by politicians. All the communications-related offences were led by security services. Do you know when Molly actually passed? 2017? And you are telling me that a law passed in 2025 is related? A law which largely contains things unrelated to her passing (i.e. significant expansion of Ofcom powers).
It is genuinely funny that people who have no idea about politics...as in first-hand knowledge which will just imagine that everything works the way they assume it must work. At the very least, you should exercise some common sense: we have seen multiple Home Office ministers pass through, ministers are gaining no new extra powers, Ofcom staffing has gone up by thousands, the amount of graft that has already gone on is staggering...but the one's to blame are, conveniently, the ones who are always blamed...but seem to be strangely unable to do anything...you cannot possibly be this credulous.
I cant understand it for you, sorry. You seem to be in a bit of a bubble that I don't have the time or inclination to extract you from.
