“Rare lunar phenomenon” that happens every couple of years, and is only relevant because there are 27ish days between a new moon and 30-31 days in a month. The moon is cool and I like looking at it, but a “blue moon” is a quirk of our calendar not the moon being interesting.

The existence of Uber and Lyft does not prevent the government from doing this. If we are paying people to build and maintain this process we may as well hire people to do so. Taking over Uber would lead to the best employees leaving for other tech companies.

Don’t forget many types of tea have similar levels of caffeine. And US started a whole war over a tax on tea much less a ban.

There was an article I read a wile back so I may be misremembering. It claimed they the wealth of southern plantations was the slaves, the land and other assets were worth hardly anything. Many of these places had large amounts of debt tied to the value of their slaves. The fear was not just that the north would make slavery illegal, but that the actions being taken to limit slavery in new states would cause the price of slaves to drop and make all the rich slave owners broke.

What assets? All they have is debt and maybe some servers. I guess the app and brand has some value, but only to another ride share company.

Leatherman and Gerber are the 2 major brands in the multi tool world and have been for 30+ years. The posters are definitely not ads, just people into EDC who are used to people knowing those brands.

I feel like I am missing something about how this works.

Take this use case “ Companies could pay Worldcoin to use its digital identity system, for example if a coffee shop wants to give everyone one free coffee, then Worldcoin's technology could be used to ensure that people do not claim more than one coffee without the shop needing to gather personal data, Macieira said.”

What is stopping someone from showing up with 2 IDs and claiming 2 coffees. I dont know how you prove that the person showing up with a coin is the person who was physically scanned. Much less how you prove the person today was the person who was scanned 40 years ago.

Being able to modify a video game or reverse engineer a bit of code does not make that application open source.

Maybe if a company published the finished video and the unedited footage under some open license.
