They were a membership organization run by 3 universities.
Quantum is the new climate change
He's destroying that which makes it actually scarce. He's putting it on the blockchain, which means that no one, even the owner, will have an authentic original. They'll just be able to say that they paid for it. And, nothing he's creating is custom made. The only positive thing you can say about him is that his art was shite in the first place, and he's doing a great job swindling morons.
I see single use plastic as being similar to if I gathered firewood, built a fire, carved a stick into a spoon, ate with the spoon, and then burned the spoon to stay warm. The only problem is that we aren't burning our plastic waste for energy.
I'm not sure, but I don't think my parents thought I would actually do it. Straight A's in school, and raising over a hundred dollars by myself at the age of 7. We lived in the woods, half way between a town and a village. Money making opportunities were not plentiful.
My first computer was a Commodore VIC-20. I wrote my Mom a program to store her recipes on cassette tapes, but she didn't want to use it. I was really upset. Switched to writing games. Hey, come play the game I wrote! This is taking forever to load off a cassette tape, my Atari loads the game instantly, this sucks, let's do something else.
I was so happy to get my first floppy drive. I had to get straight A's for my parents to cover half the cost, and I raised the rest of the money delivering newspapers, mowing lawns, raking leaves and shovelling snow.
My second computer was a Commodore 64.
I even taught myself assembly. Haven't used it since I was a child, though.
The program never should have existed in the first place. The leadership should have been fired and sued for implementing it at all. They violated the core values of the project as defined by the mission statement and used money donated for a specific and clearly articulated purpose to further their own personal political goals. They're thieves.
Blame the feminists and the transgender activists for that.
Seriously.

They created the Outreach Program for Women in 2014, disregarded their responsibilities to act as stewards to the project and almost drove the Gnome Foundation into bankruptcy wasting money that was in short supply on "gender issues".
So, the death toll was 0.5% of the population. In a building housing 1000 people, the 5 oldest and sickest died.
That was worth the sacrifices made.
Ever heard of the Salem Witch Trials?
Read between the lines. They're laundering money. Crypto has been used by criminals since it's inception. Now it's being used as a hedge against government currency devaluation, which is just another way of avoiding being controlled by the government. You'd have to be thick in the head not to see that.
Still don't understand Minecraft.
That's sad. I loved Scratch. I used it to teach my kid, we built a pretty good game with it.
No. How do I get a job like that? Does it pay well?
And it should be the law: If you use the word `paradigm' without knowing what the dictionary says it means, you go to jail. No exceptions. -- David Jones
