It's funny that you mention certificates because that would be an actual decentralized solution to this problem. The government agency/university/whatever sends you a digital version of your documents signed with their own certificate, which you can then send to whoever you want and they can validate it using their preferred CA, no central blockchain necessary.

They couldn't find a slope on the water to slide their craft off on.

It's almost like these apps shouldn't focus on minors.

Unfortunately discrimination after maternity leave is pretty much the standard everywhere. Companies like to make an example out of women who dare to have a life. The only solution in my opinion is for fathers to get the same amount of leave like in some Scandinavian countries.

I'm not disagreeing with you in general, but you have ignored the biggest advantage of indoor cultivation, which is that they can be located where they are needed thus saving packaging and transportation costs. I don't think they will replace farms, but for expensive stuff like herbs and spices they might make sense.

The only reason people are still buying Intel chips is because unlike other manufacturers they don't have a supply bottleneck. Unless the point is to just buy up capacity and prevent AMD and Apple from getting silicon.

I used to work with an intern who wrote his thesis about his job. When the legal department got wind of it, they told him that he can't publish it as it would divulge trade secrets, so he had to rewrite the whole thing. Unfortunately, it's pretty common for companies to disallow employees from publishing papers that have to do anything with said company.

Advertisers should also get the ability to subscribe to a mod service of their choice and only show ads on content that service gives the thumbs up to.

And that's a good thing. The difference between moderation and censorship is that moderation keeps the nasty stuff out of your face but doesn't prevent you from accessing it if you really want to.

There's no solution that's going to satisfy everybody, so the only way to solve it would be if instead of opaque algorithms sites implemented an API that would give third parties a chance to implement their own aggregation of user mods, hopefully in an open source way. To prevent privacy problems, the mods of a user would not be tied to their identity but some generated id. Of course, users would be free to announce their id and aggregators could choose to only use the mods of select users, which is equivalent to traditional modding with a separate class of moderators. Or they could use and weight the mods of all users by whatever algorithm they see fit.

Some CAs already do identity checks, I don't think we need to involve governments in this.

Nobody has been using screensavers since CRT displays went the way of the dodo, why is so important that Linux distros have them?

Manufacturers are reducing production because less people are buying cars now, but blaming chip shortage sounds a lot better.

You need an USB-C charger though, which many people don't have.

The original plan was to replace the Linux+Android combo with a microkernel OS+Flutter. Then first canned the Flutter part, then reclassified Fuchsia as an "experimental OS", and now they start accepting outside contributions. Which at first sounds great, especially because Fuchsia was only open source in the loosest sense. It used to be developed on an internal Google repo that was inaccessible for outsiders. But it seems to me that this is more about the Fuchsia team seeing the writing on the wall and hoping that the open source community can succeed where they failed. In my opinion, Fuchsia is heading straight to the Google graveyard.
