This is funny, when you think about that our demographic (people with multiple tech devices, in need of a smaller phone, able to pay more for it, etc.) should match perfectly with everyone who works internally at apple on the phones. They must have frequent discussions on this, that get agressively silenced - to keep the focus on the bigger phones :o)
I’ve been thinking about confidential data sharing in the food supply chain. Imagine using Solid pods as user-owned vaults for provenance docs and contracts under WAC, paired with Matrix’s federated E2EE messaging (via Solid WebID-OIDC SSO) and archiving chats/attachments back into your pod—yielding a fully decentralized, data-sovereign collaboration.
I propose, they had never been trusted. Nations do not believe in trust. At the International Relations level, IR Realism is basically the only generally accepted policy. You may have a few Constructivists, but the smartest ones still put trust and norms below power calculations.
Its really that the average person has essentially no understanding of IR and history.
I assure you that verification methods have been happening. The amount of trust was less than the amount of verification.
Depends on when gold was shipped to the US. For the better part of the 20th century there was absolutely no reason for most of it's friends and allies to not trust the US. Especially if you deposited your gold with the US around the world wars or any time before the mid 60s really.
The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has launched a probe into Ethereum to determine whether the largest altcoin is a security, Fortune reported.
The SEC sent subpoenas to companies seeking documents and financial records relating to their dealings with the Ethereum Foundation, the story said, citing companies that have received SEC subpoenas.
I would even argue, that it is depending on the context (on how you feel) that makes you introvert or extrovert in the situation. Not just a vector. I found it funny doing some tests, but once with the mindset of being a CEO, and in the other situation on the dancefloor, etc.
I love popcorn. And this might be arrogant. As I might come around like the extremist (that I am). But I am reading here between the lines, that even with popcorn, there is a lot that could be done better for the environment:
- gas is not renewable. I hope we can get away from that
- once popping starts you turn of the stove, does this mean you have fairly solid pans that keep the heat long? I don't think that is sustainable either
- You put butter in the popcorn? Well that is also not sustainable either.
- Then you add Parmesan, well that makes it even worse.
- You use a paper towel, that you toss away
Why do we just happen to glance over those issues so easily?
Yes. Funny to find this here. This is actually still quite common in my home-town Riedlingen in Swabian Albs during carnival festivites. You can see in the picture [1] that they have attached the bladders to a stick, and the tradition is to hit people on the head with this :o)
The bovid methane drumbeat is bandied by people who conveniently fail to account for the millions of missing American bison that used to produce comparable output.
Did they? Did anyone measure that? Or is that simply an assumption? Relatively small dietary changes can greatly reduce the amount of methane produced by cows (I believe you add something like 15% seaweed to the feed), so it's not at all clear that a free range bison would be similar.
Wild Bison aren't eating seaweed in the great plains. Cows in the plains spend their majority of their life eating the same grasses that the bison ate, then they spend a few months on a corn diet.
