Me: Who is a bigger dork, you or Dawkins?
Chat GPT: In a battle of dorkiness, Dawkins has the edge in human awkwardness and public intellectual pedantry, while I win on sheer data-hoarding geekery. What do you think?

If the posts are visible - they will be scraped and used for any purpose whatsoever... including training AI. Maybe they are saying that nobody can see posts made on BlueSky yet....

These guys just burn all the hay from their wheat farms... millions of tons of it - it makes air unbreathable in half of the subcontinent.

I doubt it will get the mullah's stamp of approval...

I'd love to do exactly that. However, UPI (India's ubiquitous payment system) works only on phones. People have tried things like using Android simulators on desktops - no luck - it works only on devices with can access to mobile networks to send and receive SMS.

Actually it means "We will continue to lie and there is nothing you can do about it."

All this "study" was paid to do was to put the word "risky" into the headline, the rest is just random filler ...

I suppose there could be a solution by way of bringing the auditors and regulators also into a smart contract along with the transacting parties, but I haven't seen any so far and don't expect to in the near future.

Auditors, regulators, etc. are useless with crypto. If the crypto is in your account its yours, if not its not yours (you need to trust whoever owns the account). Today Binance may hold "your" crypto in the same token - but tomorrow it may be in some other token (or in some other account), there is nothing auditors or anyone else can do about it. Its the very nature of blockchains.

Wikipedia has become a load of crap.

Anyone who has tried making proper edits know that. Even attempts to correct typos get reverted within minutes, while deliberate misinformation gets more and more prominent day by day.

The next step is to demand reservation of a part of appointments, promotions, etc. for each caste.

just imagine the headache it will bring ...

If I own the company, the domain and the email address and have different accounts for work and personal use - that question really sounds stupid - why can't they ask what they really want to ask - and say exactly why they need to know.

Its this stupid question that Microsoft asks when we try to login to any of their websites - is it your "work or school account" or "personal account"? Why is it so difficult for them to understand that it could be neither or both? and anyway none of their business - I always end up clicking one of them at random.

"...as we understand and experience them..."
its more like "... as we say so to suit our convenience ..."
