That the entire system is incredibly vulnerable to theft and that it's all really centralized and has been for some time. Money laundering and crime are the only things keeping crypto going. It doesn't help that the Democrats have taken a bunch of seats since they have this nasty habit of enforcing laws against people in suits... The nerve of them.

Comment Re:Anti-vax crowds aren't the only explanation (Score 0) 53

There's been anti-vaxers around for decades, and RFK Jr. suddenly becoming the Secretary of HHS can't just 'wave his hands' and make this happen.

What happened in Canada, Spain, the UK, and US have in common over the past few years that could be part of the reason for this?
Could unchecked illegal immigration have anything to do with it? Nah, couldn't be.
A few million of third-world 'refugees' entering these countries couldn't possibly contribute to this, right? Or are we just too politically correct to ignore it?

It's dumbass white Christians in Canada. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada...

Comment That's not how anything works (Score 1, Insightful) 35

Jesus this whole form is filled with nothing but 12-year-olds.

You have insurance because healthcare is something we don't need all at once. The problem you're having is that you don't have insurance you have a for-profit system designed to ration the healthcare from maximum profit for a handful of billionaire psychopaths.

Actual insurance is when the largest pool people possible get together in order to properly spread the costs of parts that we all know are inevitable. That's insurance.

And as I pointed out on another comment we have more than enough capacity to produce as much health care as we want. There is zero reason why anyone should have to go without healthcare of any kind. I mean zero good reason. I already mentioned the profits and of course I on the other comment I mentioned super yachts.

Comment No, it's not (Score 2) 35

And you need to stop with this 12-year-old thinking already.

We have not needed rationing in food, medicine or shelter for at least 50 years debatably over 100.

This is just a fact.

The problem is distribution. The problem is not that we can't feed the poor it's that we can't satisfy the wealthy.

Yes if we are going to have 2,000 super yachts for the 2000 psychopaths that losers need to worship we have to ration healthcare. But we don't have to have 2,000 super yachts. We don't have to have any super yachts.

We have been making enough food and medicine to take care of everyone on the planet for decades. We have more than enough production capacity and we can build more. Wind and solar can produce enough energy for everybody on the planet and for us to desalinate as much water as they could possibly need. We can terraform large parts of the land as needed we have the technology it's not cool and fancy sci-fi stuff but it does work.

People who tell you there isn't enough to go around or telling you that because they're planning on stealing what you have. They are hoping you'll be so busy keeping your eyes on your neighbor you won't notice them taking your stuff and frankly they're usually right. US 2026 midterms not withstanding

Comment Trump on the FAA incident: (Score 1) 60

The below is what Trump is actually concerned about today according to his own official account:

“I am working with Senator Tim Scott and, believe it or not, Senator Adam Schiff and many others, both Republican and Democrat, on the Motion Picture, Television, and Entertainment Revitalization Act. The support and popularity of doing this, and bringing Entertainment back to the United States of America, has been unbelievable!

“Hollywood, and so many other places, have been virtually ‘emptied out’ by the Tax Incentives, and much more, given by other Countries. Everyone feels strongly about the Motion Picture and Television Industry - and so do I, and we all want to save it.

“It was MADE IN AMERICA, and must STAY IN AMERICA. The Entertainment Industry has largely moved to Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, and other countries, but the actors, producers, and all others involved want to come back home!

“Importantly, hundreds of thousands of Blue Collar Workers will be positively affected, BIG TIME, by the passage of this Bill. The amount of money spent on these Tax Incentives will be made up tenfold by the money pouring into the Treasury's coffers.

“Meetings are being set up, routinely, with the Leaders of both Parties in order to, GET THIS DONE! It is a very Bipartisan undertaking, especially in that so much of the money being lost to other countries is coming out of the Blue States. Hopefully Republicans and Democrats will get together and finalize this already very actively negotiated Legislation.

“It can be done quickly, accurately, efficiently and, importantly, will benefit all of America. MAKE OUR ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY GREAT AGAIN!”

when it clearly wasn't done right the first time

You're making an assumption. Networks like this do not get designed and stay the same throughout their service life. They are built and the systems connected to them change over time. The problem isn't the network design wasn't done right, it is that it wasn't reviewed at every stage of a change in the systems on it.

Gee. 100k signatures. ALL stockholders. Gee no morales - all about greed. Who cares if he slept with many women, lies to his wife etc.

Actually no one cares. The reason he was fired was for not disclosing internal relationships (and lying about external ones) which is a major policy violation and a massive legal risk. Literally no one gives a fuck how well his marriage is going or if he is a cheater.

He bet on GPU computing when it was a hard sell and got developers to build around CUDA.

Making a big bet-good decision nearly 2 decades ago is not a reason to keep a CEO around. NVIDIA's current wealth is sitting on pushing one idea, and not the result of a continuous churn of innovation driven by leadership. They are a trillionaire company because someone outside of NVIDIA figured out what to use their products for and have coasted on their success. It's very much a right place right time situation. Jensen is no Steve Jobs and NVIDIA will be perfectly fine without him.

Incidentally Apple is also perfectly fine without Jobs. Even clever and/or lucky CEOs are replaceable.

I'm not sure what you're saying there. There's a letter with 100k signatures, 7000 of which you've confirmed to have massive bias? Are you saying you haven't figured out what bias and who is pulling the strings for the other 93k signatures?

Here's a hint for you: If a letter concerning the removal of a CEO has 100k signatures on them, you can be guaranteed that most of those signatures are fake as well
Normal people don't give a shit, and there aren't 100k deeply financially invested people, or at least not 100k who care about the CEO as much as they are most likely nothing more than the recipients of a marketing campaign from a few people who have real skin in the game.

The Midas project has more credibility than your letter.
