  • Buying a $250 Residency Card From a Tropical Island Let Me Bypass U.S. Crypto Laws

    Jump

  • That's probably a fair assessment, but still a rather damning indictment of the industry writ large.

    There are definitely better versions of cryptocurrency that I think could be more useful, but the industry is definitely not headed in that direction. Instead, it's all pump-and-dumps, rug-pulls, and other schemes that render them nothing more than highly speculative asset classes in which the underlying asset has no intrinsic value.

  • It's just grift all the way down with crypto, isn't it? Scams layered on scams layered on scams.

  • There’s No Dancing Around It: Apple’s Vision Pro Was An Ugly Dud

    Jump

  • I’ve seen where doctors are using it for surgery

    The article I've seen is one instance in Brazil (article in Brazilian Portuguese) for laparoscopic surgery, which makes a lot of sense. I don't know how it compare to other displays, however, or if using a VR set rather than a monitor offers advantages, or if the Vision Pro did anything new or better. The same article mentions that doctors had done the same thing with a HoloLens VR headset some years before.

  • Journalists flock to Bluesky as X becomes increasingly 'toxic'

  • This seems fine, so long as the journos remember how to pull up stakes once a platform decays. I hope they learn a lesson about the importance of owning your own audience, follower lists, etc.

    Whoopi Goldberg calling herself 'a working person' garners criticism from 'The View' fans

    Jump

  • She ain't Gainan, and she lost touch years ago. She spent a View episode with then-mayor DeBlasio whining about bike lanes in Manhattan, when more than half the city can't even own a car and she was being driven into the city for tapings. No sympathy.

  • FCC and the broadband industry argue net neutrality’s future

    Jump

  • Just a reminder, the "major questions doctrine" is bullshit, used by the partisan conservatives to ignore the plain text of a statute whenever they want to engineer an outcome. Don't pretend that this is anything less than make-believe judicial bullshit.

  • The current Indian government has prosecuted or detained employees of foreign companies in the past for actions taken by the company. There is a real risk here.

  • I do think the Indian government has a point if you read the lawsuit. This is a ongoing lawsuit and the page taken down had info on it and a discussion page where people were talking about the ongoing lawsuit. The lawsuit says that this "...Complicates and compounds the issue at hand."

    Hard disagree. Ongoing lawsuits often have complicated issues, but are nonetheless topics of public concern. It's sometimes inconvenient for governments and large corporations to have the public aware of the lawsuit and the underlying facts and issues, but that's no reason to impose a gag order.

    Frankly, whenever I hear a court give vague rationales like "complicates the issues," I assume they judge just doesn't like the criticism. That's what it sounds like here.

  • Great new club

    Jump

  • If you’re ordinary and you never get enough sleep, I have just the place for you. New York’s hottest nap club is “Off to Dreamland!” Located in the heart of Queens at the corner of Sleep Street and Sleepytime Drive, this converted mattress store park was the ceremony spot for a lengendary nap taken by Adam Conover when he was a boy. This place has everything: body pillows, comforters, blankies, cuddle buddies, sleep masks, and CPAP machines. And be sure to hit the converted traincar section and lean your head on the shoulder of MTA Chair Janno Lieber, the celebrity sleeper in residence.

  • TIL about Aviation biofuel

    Jump

  • Aviation biofuel is mostly a distraction. Any serious effort to decarbonize the transportation industry would focus on a scalable system, presumably high-speed rail.

    (And whoever is thinking about being a smartass, don't you dare come at me with bullshit about trans-ocean flights, they obviously can't be take by train, but biofuel is still utterly incapable of supplying even only ocean flights. It's not ever going to be a viable product. We'd be better off trying to scale up carbon capture than try to use all our arable land to grow crops for fuel.)
