Had the opportunity to fly in the 787 Polaris seats for a 14 hour flight. I fly a lot for work, but that was an incredible experience.

I've grown accustomed to it. I've been a heavy soda drinker for years, partially because I like the carbonation. So carbonated water > soda was better for me. Water is just too plain for me.

it would be neat to see articles on Nostr that were partially hidden, similar to X, and you could "unlock" It by clicking the zap icon. maybe it could be made to unlock after a threshold (100 sats) or with any amount zapped, just requiring a zap to occur.

I think I would. It kind of depends on if you think this is all real. If we're the most advanced sim in the game, but there's a world external to us, do you feel the same responsibility to care for your sandbox environment?

My company is weary of this too. They don't want user PII to leak in any way to the training models such that outsiders might be able to get it.

criminals don't care if you make cash payments illegal. they're not going to just give up because the gov bans them. they'll either continue to do it anyway or switch to something else if cash becomes to cumbersome.

California's decision to decriminalize shoplifting under $1,000 means stores have to enforce their own security. People will get upset with the store, but not understand it's because the authorities aren't doing their jobs.
I can't remember where I saw the article, but it talked about the dynamic of shopliftings effect on low-income areas. What they found is stores had to raise prices to recoup losses from theft, which has a negative feedback loop. Which is why stores in high-income areas will sometimes have better prices on goods.

What if the file isn't necessarily what the client was looking for?

Would that punishment just be reputation since the file could still be decrypted properly?
