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).
Yeah but the link to the article included the name, so I am not sure that is a good excuse. They seemed to have the name when creating the article, otherwise how could it show up in the URL?
It's simply because a headline like this is much more useful for people coming to the story for the first time, or who aren't deeply familiar with the story. It's not a sleight on her. Also at the time of publication, I think her name had only recently been released by the police.
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.
Considering most stores shut down due to excessive theft (and inaction of authorities), would this be any different than just opening another food bank?
I found the article to be written in an unnecessarily complicated way. Are you talking about the shrink number? I think most of us couldn’t care less about giant retailers losing profit, it’s the small businesses I’m concerned about.
Hopefully being a community thing and not a corporate thing will help. I think people will be less likely to steal, and more likely to rat someone out for stealing.
Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
It makes me upset when people forget what it means to be an American.
Good stuff in the UK the NHS is only offering Covid boosters to those in front-line medicine/caring and the over 65s. In that context 50% of the US population planning to get jabbed sounds (literally) quite healthy
It could be that a lot of folks are on the fence. But yeah I'm generally feeling pretty pessimistic about humanity after watching half my country deny science up to the point they're gasping for air.
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).
