I hate when an article about a possible good use of blockchain like in a national id shoves in mention of bitcoin one of the worst usese of blockchain.
Can you explain why a national ID is a good possible use of blockchain from your point of view?
A national ID is inherently bound to a central authority, the nations government. What are the advantages of a blockchain in this scenario compared to a traditional central database?
It is not necessarily the best way but keep in mind that blockchain does not mean peer to peer. The government systems can retain the ability to be authoritative.
Yeah I don't have an answer. I could look it up but my comment was not blockchain is the best thing to use for this scenario but that this was a better use of blockchain than crypto (the real but is I dont' feel like it atm).
This deny everything and wait for appeal practice has to be called out. It has spread to SSA and other benefits agencies, saving them money I guess, while making the programs look worthless. The government is quiet quitting on us.
Now that's not exactly what the polling data says, it says 23% plan to get the shot, while another 23% might get the shot. I'd like to think those who say they might get it will definitely get it but we know a lot of them won't be getting the shot.
In case anyone didn't know, Staten Island is where the fascists like to live in New York; Trump won it almost 2-1 in 2020.
[Staten Island Borough President Vito Fossella said] "I know there are folks out there who think, 'Well, New York City voted for a right to shelter.' Staten Island is different. Staten Island doesn't support these concepts."
At a panini shop a few blocks from the shelter, Peter Monte agrees. He says the new shelter worries him because it's "right behind the school and it shouldn't be behind the all-girls school."
Actually, according to police statistics, the rate of sex crimes in the area is unchanged in the month since the shelter opened. But Monte says he feels uncomfortable.
"You've got girls walking around, you know, in school. It's not right."
[We can't have these brown immigrants around our girls!]
Just a collection of horrible, racist people (well, about two thirds of them).
I can't see this as anything other than a losing scenario for just... sensibility and maturity in general. Neither DeSantis nor Hannity are serious people, and there's simply no way this debate isn't just chum for the rabid fanatics who enjoy their malevolent circus act.
I don't know, honestly all the prosecution showed as evidence were possessions. Proof would be financial records or other documentation that shows a chain of custody of those possessions and money.
Jury is still out. Doesn't look good, however I'd reserve judgement until new things come to light.
Silent but not untraumatic and painless. Basically inert gases you don't even realize your not getting oxygen and carbon monoxide is similar but you take it up and it causes many horrible symptoms. For details a combination of these will explain it.
Your body has no sense of oxygen content of the air. What you sense is CO2 buildup in your blood (because it modifies the pH). In a pure nitrogen environment you can still exhale the CO2, but of course do not replenish any O2. It's not just that you won't notice -- there is nothing to notice. Your body literally lacks the sensory ability to detect it.
To be distinguished from a pure CO2 environment where you cannot expel the CO2 so you will feel the effect of being unable to breath.
After taking one or two breaths of N2, there will be so little O2 in your lungs that breathing will actually run your respiration backwards -- it will pull O2 out of your blood instead of bringing it in.
You'll likely experience a light euphoria, get a headache, maybe feel a bit dizzy. But this will happen so fast it's hard to even be certain -- unconsciousness in under a minute is expected and within just a few breaths is possible.
No. That will burn your lungs like hell. You'll feel like actually suffocating. Nitrogen is an inert gas, so you won't even feel it, another one is helium. You'll pretty much lose consciousness after just a couple breaths and then fade away quietly. It's very commonly used in suicide bags and there's modern assisted suicide methods that use it too.
I think death penalties are barbaric and uncivilized, no matter what, but comparatively it's probably better than almost anything the US used historically.
