France is probing money laundering and tax fraud issues at Binance, and KuCoin just paid $300 million in fines and withdrew from the US for failing to abide by anti-money laundering laws.

Robinhood seems to be taking a lesson from the crypto world. “Sports bets” are now “event contracts”, and “gambling” is now “an emerging asset class”. Perhaps the next pickpocket to be caught by police should try informing the officer that they’re merely democratizing finance!

Representative GT Thompson boasted at a digital assets press conference that crypto legislation will be “tripartisan” because it will be set by the crypto industry.

Musk is “exploring blockchain technology” for use at DOGE and the Treasury, and crypto bigwigs are groveling for spots on the upcoming crypto advisory council — which will, from the sounds of it, be filled exclusively with crypto executives and industry megadonors.

Well, now we have an answer to the question "What could possibly be worse than Elon Musk taking over the government?”

We still do NOT, however, have an answer to the question “What is the blockchain actually useful for?”

Yep, that’s the plan mastodon.world/@sdjohns/113955…

@soatok you ever get those moments where you hear something so monumentally ridiculous that your brain momentarily stops working and you get half a second of the mental equivalent of television static?

Been a lot of those recently.

Als Antwort auf Molly White

The better to steal our money with, since THE ENTIRE PURPOSE OF CRYPTO IS TO LAUNDER MONEY.

Sorrynotsorry to shout, but I cannot understand why media insists on treating crypto like some legitimate advancement in tech rather than the (insanely environmentally destructive) hack of our current monetary systems that it is.

Als Antwort auf Molly White

It's a license to steal, not much different than a MLM pyramid scheme.

So you’re telling me that the best Star Wars show is a prequel to a prequel to the original movie?

Hope they make a prequel to that, it’ll be unmissable.

Als Antwort auf Deborah Pickett

I don't know if you're being sarcastic or just joking, so just in case. It works because you don't need to have watched the rest (you don't even really need to know about Star Wars much) and it doesn't fall into the trap all prequels fall into, that is to always wink and nod at the sequel that existed prior to the sequel.
Als Antwort auf David

I sincerely enjoyed Andor, not as a Star Wars show though, and that’s probably _why_ I enjoyed it. I think we are on the same page, or at least nearby ones.

do ponto de vista de alguém provavelmente não-autista (segundo minha psicóloga), porém muito ansiosa com interações sociais, especialmente: avisar logo de cara que tou ansiosa/ fico nervosa/ sou estranha me ajuda a relaxar, porque ao menos já ajustei as expectativas (um pouco que seja xD )

Guten Morgen, vielleicht eine gute Nachricht für die eine oder andere. In Australien wurde ein #bluttest entwickelt, um #endometriose in verschiedenen Ausprägungen mit bis zu 99-prozentiger Wahrscheinlichkeit ohne OP sicher zu diagnostizieren. Er soll dort noch in diesem Jahr zugelassen werden. Die Entwickler wollen ihn auch global anbieten. Das würde viel Leid ersparen, von unnötigen OPs bis zu jahrelangem Nicht-ernst-genommen-werden.

As long as I live, I will never forgive Mitch McConnell for both causing irreparable damage to the Supreme Court, and not voting to convict Donald Trump.


With 40 states under single-party control in 2024, tech regulations moved faster than ever. State-level policies are shaping the future of AI, privacy, and digital rights.

El Salvadorian prisons for American criminals? Sure, why not? Tomorrow they'll be outsourcing the Supreme Court to Qatar.

Por alguma razão o papo no almoço aqui é leite materno daí me veio aqui o questionamento:

Pq não pasteurizamos leite humano?

Als Antwort auf Fã do Vegeta

ia matar os probióticos naturais que o organismo da mãe selecionou, com a sabedoria acumulada de milhões de anos de evolução, para melhor contribuir para o desenvolvimento de sua prole. tenho pra mim que ao menos parte desses microorganismos ajudariam a formar a flora digestiva benéfica, e até a digerir os nutrientes do próprio leite.

não que isso explique alguma coisa, pois esses motivos não impediram a indústria de extrair, empacotar e vender outros "leites" empobrecidos





I AM FREEEE 🧙‍♂️
MUD WIZARD IS FREE !

After a maximum risk of 5 years' imprisonment for violence against a police officer, today the German state, represented by the public prosecutor, wanted to sentence me to 8 months' imprisonment. But the judge gave me a penalty of 140 days fines and legal costs of the trial. We still have no idea how much really it is right now. But we will know soon !

I'm very happy! I hope the prosecutor won't appeal,1 week of waiting and we'll know!

It's been known for quite some time that more prestigious journals publish less reliable #science. Now two papers provide compelling empirical evidence as to potential underlying mechanisms:

journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1…
academic.oup.com/qje/advance-a…

The gist of the story is that scientists are so afraid of being scooped that they cut corners. Corner-cutting is rewarded by hi-ranking journal publications and the successful authors then teach their students how to get ahead in science.

"You may be sure that the Americans will commit all the stupidities they can think of, plus some that are beyond imagination."

- Charles de Gaulle

"Americans will always do the right thing, only after they have tried everything else."

- Winston Churchill

It is quite hard not to think of these quotes right now.

For reasons.

I've never understood or liked the way American culture fetishises guns.

I have met American gun owners, and one of the most common arguments for widespread gun ownership was that it would prevent tyranny. That the people would rise against the oppressor, and they'd be well armed, and the would-be dictator would face a formidable resistance.

I had doubts about this argument then.

Nowadays, it seems to me that unarmed populations have been more willing to rise and depose their corrupt leaders.
