I was permanently banned from Tinder for trying to upload a picture of myself holding a pepper from my garden. I can only assume that Tinder's AI thought the pepper looked like an unacceptable body part.
I am absolutely in favor of using AI to combat unsolicited nudes as long as it's implemented something like: on the sender's side, show a warning before sending that the image appears to be in bad taste and asking for confirmation, then on the receiver's side, hiding the image behind a warning that it may be unwanted and showing two buttons, "show image" and "unmatch".
This is how Bumble appears to have implemented the feature. Though personally, I'm not going to test it because I think sending unsolicited nudes is a losing strategy for dating.
Yet, as rare as it might be, there are people of both genders who actually enjoy receiving unsolicited nudes. And people who enjoy sexual pickup lines. The judgement call of what is/isn't going to be attractive or appropriate ought be to left in the hands of the individuals dating as much as possible rather than controlled by a priest at a tech company.
I don't think you quite grasp that people are already building blockchains for government use. You keep saying "why haven't they done it yet then?" while they are actively working on it. I don't know why it took so long, but it's happening now.
Once you have verifiable "truth" in a system, it becomes a lot harder for it to become corrupt. "The emperor has no clothes" modality stops being profitable because there's a constant red blinking light re-assuring people that, in fact, he doesn't have any clothes on. If a central authority clearly goes against the protocols of the system, for a more realistic example: the police decide not to arrest someone who is proven to have stolen $10 million from someone, the system disintegrates due to it clearly and verifiably not being respected.
Dependabot is something like a modern plague of open source, together with the bot that closes issues automatically.
Did you read through the security issues identified, familiar with the codebase enough that you can see that these issues are actually affecting the product?
Most issues Dependabot opens on repositories I'm involved in, points to issues that has no bearing on the actual code, since it's security issues that are involving passing user code to specific functions, or simply regarding APIs that are never used in the first place.
You don't have to be on the newest version of every single library, in most cases it doesn't make any sense to just upgrade for the sake of upgrade.
No it didn't demonstrate that. Vitalik et al reached consensus for rolling back the DAO hack. A major reason why they reached consensus was that so many players had a vested interest in the rollback. If Vitalik had tried to push something unpopular, he wouldn't have been able to push it through, because - in contrast to your claims - Ethereum is not a centrally controlled blockchain.
hmm not sure I can follow the logic. Germany does have quite a lot of wind power doesn't it?
Also AFAIK prices in Germany went up because of higher demand for Gas.
And then somehow it is expected, as soon as there is a big enough crisis energy prices will go up exponentially.
You can give Simple Rockets 2 a try in the meantime. It uses fully customizable procedural parts (wings, fuel tanks, even engines) instead of premade parts like KSP, it looks a bit nicer and it includes a visual programming environment for your spacecraft (e.g. you can build a SpaceX-like autoland routine).
"Plaid has become the leading financial data aggregation company in the United States. Plaid is planning to leverage its connections to build a bank-linked payments network that would compete with Visa. Plaid’s money movement platform would allow consumers to pay merchants directly from their bank accounts using bank credentials rather than a debit card. Plaid’s established connections and technology uniquely positions it to enter the payments market and disrupt Visa’s monopoly"
Fascinating. I think the line that DOJ is drawing is tenuous. It is not like removing Plaid from the marketplace would remove dangers to Visa's debit card monopoly. Wouldn't a Google/Apple/FB/Amazon be more of a platform threat. Google/Paypal already do this when you can directly pay from bank account to merchant. How does this help?

Nothing is certain yet, but that's a pretty big surge of optimism given that prior to now estimates were hovering around 10%-20%.
