Comment Why? (Score 1) 19

Another project looking to solve a problem that doesn’t exist. Or for which block chain is not really warranted. All because some director/VP level guy has to show us how smart he is.

Who needs it? Who is asking for it?

You know that signed transactions have been a thing for a long time.

And look at the caveats they put in the description about backing out fraudulent transactions. They are basically admitting that the blockchain can be like the Wild West. But here, we have some sort of semi public thing they control. So, what’s the point?

Didnâ(TM)t some colleges even get into partnerships with the gambling companies?
The money sloshing around D1 football and basketball is bad enough. When I saw the partnerships, my thought was: âoesomeone just shut the lights out on your way out. You are no longer a college. âoe

Thatâ(TM)s quite a few caveats for something taking over the world.

Donâ(TM)t give them the bs that they donâ(TM)t use the correct prompts.
OR the explanation I am seeing more and more: âoewhen you ask a person a question, often they get it wrong too.â Iâ(TM)ve seen that in several articles in the past few weeks.
Is that the best theyâ(TM)ve got? Itâ(TM)s so weak. Itâ(TM)s fatal, actually.

The state cops in my state make up about 33 percent of the top 1000 people on the payroll. They make more than presidents of the state colleges. But not the state university. They make more than the vast majority of professors either at college or university level.

It is not uncommon to have a decent sized group of state cops making 300k or more.

âoeWe work wicked hard and do a lot of overtime.â

Sure you do.
