I'd rather own the Mona Lisa then a digital token saying I owned a receipt for a jpeg of the Mona Lisa, but IDK maybe I'm crazy.

Hoo boy where to start. 1. Do you think that the inauguration of a new president is opinion? 2. Do you think that the end of Trumps push to get rid of section 230 (Or the possible continued push by a new president who was also a critic of it.) or Ajit Pai no longer being the FCC Chairman aren't relevant to tech at all? 3. Do you think his DOJ isn't going to look at anti-trust actions against Google, Apple, Amazon, and Facebook? 4. Do you think that rural broadband (Which was a big part of his rural redevelopment strategy.) isn't a tech issue? 5. Do you think that tariff's on China (Which have already led to big increases in GPU costs.) and any action he takes therein aren't tech issues?

Fingerlicks Per Second.

Probably because they expect that they can do so without issue so long as their review is truthful.

If we removed the laws that protected social media from liability for what users say on it, Trump would be out of every one worth mention within *seconds*. He's too much of a liability.

>Some believe the tipping point is still 15 to 20 years away, while others say the warning accurately reflects the danger that Bolsonaro and global heating pose to the Amazon's survival. Considering how many climate change models have been wrong... and not in the good way, I wouldn't be surprised if this one is too.

It's just a good thing that April 1st isn't known as a day for any sort of lie, prank, or tomfoolery, so I know that this is completely legitimately happening.

Ban folks from pointing out cops and you'll just see a mysterious rise in people marking construction in the same ares those checkpoints are in.

The employees can, of course, use whatever phone they want. The company should not be under any onus to spend extra cash making an app that works on that phone though. Of course, if the company requires a particular type of phone for the employee to do their job, and the employee doesn't have one, then the company should be on the hook for that phone.

That Planet X, Nibiru, *doesn't* exist? Well where are the lizard people coming from if not there? Check and mate.

In Oregon all construction contractors (and home inspectors, and locksmiths) have a license, and must display the license number on their work vehicles and in advertising. There's a contractor website that lets you search by their license number to verify they're current, that there's no history of complaints, and that they're bonded/insured. They get to hold themselves as "Oregon Certified" in their craft, and of course, are penalized for operating a business without said license. It sounds like the way the law was written for engineers was different than contractors.

My view of the average person combined with Occam's razor says this probably isn't a scheme by a nefarious group hellbent on destruction, and is more likely just some random asshole who thinks he's absolutely *hilarious*. You know, like those folks who shine lasers at airplanes.
