I think a libertarian would argue that it's not the role of government to regulate "massively profitable endeavours". It could be argued that if we had to pay fewer taxes, we wouldn't need to spend so much time working and we could spend that time with our kids.
There are probably problems with this argument but I think it is pretty valid.
This kinda reminds me of how Dragon Naturally Speaking allegedly got ripped off by Goldman Sachs - only the other way round.
The number of poor people will increase if transport costs increase very predictably. The impact on pollution is unpredictable

Trump is the only president in my lifetime that hasn't started any foreign wars (I was born in the Carter admin.). As a matter of fact, it seems he's trying to de-escalate in the case of Russia/Ukraine and Israel/Hamas.
Parent is not a troll (I am seeing it with a score:0 Troll mod). It's a perfectly legitimate opinion even if you don't share it.
If anything the OP was "trollier" with it's references to space aliens etc - which were nevertheless witty and inciteful !
IIRC, mod point are to be used to promote posts that are worth reading, and the down mods are to be used only in obvious and extreme cases.
I have no idea how its trained, but whatever comes out is based on the musician using its own work so theres no art theft in the final result.
Very easy to train I imagine. Just put in a bunch of songs as input data and their stems as output data.
No idea if this is how they actually do it, but it's how I would approach the problem.
There's no point using a block chain to represent physical objects. By the time you have a physical entity managing the said objects, you're better off using a more efficient distributed database. What happens if someone steals a given piece of gold for example? How do you update the blockchain to reflect that? There are many other ways in which the database could become corrupted and no longer correctly represent the physical reality of the gold store. You don't need a (somehat) slow, power hungry, decentralised, immutable, consensus mechanism for this.
In the case of bitcoin, the proof of work blockchain system works because the tokens just represent themselves, not some real world physical object.
Disclaimer: I only read the summary and not TFA - and no nothing about this project. It just looks like the usual buzzword publicity to me.
That's super interesting. Thanks for the link. I dredged around in the comments and came up with this article :

Apparently the lost sodium lamp prism thing is a cinematic urban myth. It's just much more expensive than green screen.
The process is not very complicated in principle. An actor is filmed performing in front of a white screen that is lit with powerful sodium vapor lights. Such light has a narrow color spectrum that falls neatly into a chromatic notch between the various color sensitivity layers of the film, so the odd yellow color does not register on the red, green, or blue layers.[5] This allows the complete range of colors to be used, not only in costumes, but also in makeup and props. A camera with a beam-splitter prism is used to expose two separate film elements. The main element is regular color negative film that is not very sensitive to sodium light, and the other a fine-grain black-and-white film that is extremely sensitive to the specific wavelength produced by the sodium vapor.[5]
This second film element is used to create a matte, as well as a counter-matte, for use during compositing on an optical printer.
According to this video :

From the fine video :
"Some of the ballast is abandoned construction pipes that are sitting on shelves on the side of the thing, and the way you detach the ballast is you get everyone onboard to lean to one side and they roll off"
Also, you control it with an xbox controller...
The part of the capsule you care about though is "rock solid" and designed in collaboration with NASA.
For an interesting breakdown of how this is most likely a bunch of fabrication :

Cool video - he just got one more view. Absolutely schocking inexcusable behaviour nevertheless.
Holding the scarcest asset ever created? One that you alone hold the keys to and that doesn't require you to trust any third party? These things might not be important to everyone. There might be other reasons. Number go up?
I came here to see the dolphins with frickin lasers comments. Can someone please explain why I haven't found any ?
Thanks.
Please don't mod me down, it's a serious question...
This is relevant to the alzheimer's part, but not to the naps part... Sorry !
Alzheimers apparently has a smell that can predate an official diagnosis by quite a long time. This article is very interesting indeed:

On the subject of naps, as I understand it, lack of sleep is one of the possible causes of dementia type symtoms. YMMV
You can't eat bitcoin, so when you need something, you will have to spend it. Inflationary money incentivises you to spend your money now because otherwise it will lose its value. Deflationary money incentivises you to consume less and only buy important things. This is a good thing, in particular for the environment as it encourages efficient use of resources.
