The world is a much worse place with bad search. We need a search system that is treated like a utility and paid based on success not ad views.

It’s not as if Google’s results have improved in that time span. They are significantly worse now.

Blockchain is a synchronization and consensus mechanism that provides an authoritative record. None of your issues are unique to blockchains if multi possible authorities exist they way have conflicting rules and records. Blockchains just allow the addition of new entities and users without the traditional costs and scaling issues of existing organization is.

It can coordinate disjoint actors without a 3rd party.

Who are you? Go make bad arguments elsewhere.
- Comment on Please Stop 3 months ago:
The big improvement is the removal of the need to trust some 3rd party but also to add the precision and complexity of computer language to some domain. For example health care data, a block chain system would make one standard for how the records are stored, it would make it so the data in encrypted by the patient and they alone could grant access. When a new provider wants access there is one standard way that is automated and secure. None of which is dependent on a 3rd party who can be compromised or become corrupt and no longer act in good faith. Obviously there is a lot of details here dependent on making the block chain work flawlessly.
Imo block chains have 2 core issues to over come in order to really solve problems. First is being constructed so that they are bug free. Software is not a mature enough discipline for that as of yet. Second, is what happens when you loose you key or it gets stolen. If someone steals you Bitcoin private key, you can’t get them back after they transfer them out. Or if you just loose the key your up a creek. What is required is a way to prove you are you to the system that can’t be stolen and can’t be lost. That is a far harder question.

No, it should be a direct payment to the staff.
- Comment on Tipping culture npcs 4 months ago:
Tipping is good bc you van pay the employee directly. What needs to change is that tips need to be mandatory and when tips fall short of a living wage the business must pay pay to make up.

- Comment on Because AI and Crypto use to much electricity, what if a law was made that they had to power it with green energy? 4 months ago:
They most certainly do. The fact that they don’t work is a willing failure on the part of the lawmakers.

It’s very intentional curation by Israel and Zionists in general. It is, in fact, harmful to every other Jewish person and antisemitic.

It all depends on the details, but power is a local produced good and is not something that can be escaped with laws that want to stop carbon emissions.

- Comment on TurboTax maker Intuit spent millions in record lobbying blitz amid threats to tax prep industry 4 months ago:
You’re missing the forest for the trees. There are plenty of ways to encourage actions without coupling them to taxes. Make the tax code simple, and put the complexity in the systems that deal with people.
- Comment on TurboTax maker Intuit spent millions in record lobbying blitz amid threats to tax prep industry 4 months ago:
Tax as a wealth transfer is exactly how to close the gap between rich and poor. You can see the picture but you have misunderstood how the elements relate. Not allowing the 0.1% to escape taxation is exactly what has to happen.

- Comment on TurboTax maker Intuit spent millions in record lobbying blitz amid threats to tax prep industry 4 months ago:
I want the rich to be taxed; the system is broken bc it allows for loopholes. 100% should just get a bill.
- Comment on TurboTax maker Intuit spent millions in record lobbying blitz amid threats to tax prep industry 4 months ago:
For the very rich, its extremely hard to know what they own, filing taxes allows them to hide all the details.
- Comment on Are We All Too Cynical for Star Trek? 4 months ago:
Yeah, both are clear examples of the money people overfitting to a data set. They did a poll about what people like about star trek wars and made movies include that, the issue they assumed it meant put the exact same thing in the new movies.
- Comment on Are We All Too Cynical for Star Trek? 4 months ago:
Yes, I wholly agree. I still think that the show is still firmly rooted in nostalgia not in making a new attempt to outline a future.

Kirk doesn’t really violate them, also you can tell that the writers don’t really have the rules of star fleet worked out in season 1 or even 2.
