This is actually a spot where I think a public blockchain could work and it's censorship resistant properties will be crucial one day.

The server is the blockchain, so it's not hosted anywhere specific and can't be taken down. It's also a smart contract which ended up working in favor of the devs of TornadoCash (A coin mixing service that provides privacy) where a judge overturned the sanctions on it since it was just immutable public code, not owned by anyone.

Now that Tornado Cash isn't sanctioned, you could mix your coins through it to then pay the sub cent fee to post the sighting on one of the layer 2s like Arbitrium (the fee which will also help combat spam)

The app could then be open source (web/android/iphone) and monitor the blockchain for the sightings in your area.

The problem still becomes push notifications if it's all being done locally... It would need to be your device itself monitoring. Apple is also bad about background processing, but it's a better on Android, and especially easier if you don't deploy to the store and can bypass some of the requirements.

This way incurs no hosting costs for the developer, no load balancing, nothing to be seized etc.

It's also harder to set up than what you listed, so even fewer people could do it.

It does require adoption of something like Ethereum though.

Edit: Some clarity, but also to post that transactions fees for example on Arbitrium today are $0.00087 for a 15 second confirmation. Add on a very tiny similar cost to post some GPS coordinates and a small description.

I don't buy it. There a small handful of them like her, and they just trade off who gets to act more centrist, but always leaving enough votes to pass the BS they want to pass. Its a ruse so they can keep winning their seats so people can say, see, she's better than others.

What the actual fuck.

Not quite the same level as McConnell filibustering his own bill after the Dems supported it, but it's close.

You don't need a user account or password to receive a push notification.

You just need to have the app installed. The app can be configured by the developer to receive push notifications.

Did you know that Jaywalking is against the law in places?

Colorado for example

https://www.jacobyandmeyers.com/blog/fatal-pedestrian-crash-study/

Colorado has the highest proportion of fatal jaywalking accidents among all pedestrian-related accidents, with 56%. The second highest is Arizona with 45% in addition to ranking second for the highest total count, at 539 fatalities.

Not only are you committing a crime, but you are potentially traumatizing perfectly peaceful citizens on the roadways when you do it.

That is a morally bankrupt thing to do.

YOU'VE NOW BEEN DENATURALIZED AND DEPORTED.

Elon has armed security guards... things won't go well if masked men with no ID try to kidnap him...

Should be a spectacle.

missed which community this was, and my comment wasn't relevant given the community.

You can get a DrinkMate which can carbonate anything, no need to dilute. It has a built in pressure release, and is easily cleanable by design.

Don't use a sodastream, it's not meant for anything but water. It'd make a mess and be very hard to clean.

This isn't even your regular face eating.

Elon tried to support Trump the first term, and was on some committee, but he left when Trump was talking about leaving the Paris accord as it was against his climate goals with EVs.

Only to get back in bed with him a 2nd time.

So this is two face eatings from the same person.

Good.

He also likely has a shit ton of data from all the siphoning DOGE did that could be weaponized.

You wouldn't be able to access twitch. You'd have to buy cable TV or an antenna for the free channels. Either way media wins via commercials.

I'm actually against a wealth tax, but think one of the only ways that taking their unrealized assets can work is if we do as you suggest.

If you own stock in something, taxing unrealized gains isn't good. it's not like were going to pay them for unrealized losses.

But we MUST stop them from being able to actualize those unrealized gains without taxing them like when they use their unrealized assets as collateral. It's like a loophole for the ultra wealthy where they can just borrow against their assets for their entire life without paying taxes on it.

And really... who cares if this way might be more expensive to do, they're rich as fuck, and can pay for it as part of that tax. Also assets can be very nebulous and hard to know what they actually have. But when you see that new house, new yacht, donation to a SPAC or whatever, the IRS can come knocking and be like how'd you pay for that.

I mean the data IS sanitized, but not to the level that would have required certain human things to not happen.

Part of what's led to its improvement over the years is better going through the data and removing bad things or properly labeling them.

That left turn that was cut to short makes it into the first set of training as a cursory look at it seemed okay, and then they see that cars are cutting turns to short. So they go through the data again and try to find examples of it and then label them properly so it doesn't think it's okay.

But that's not a simple process, and then trying to only have certain good behaviors gets really hard because they're actually very uncommon in normal driving because the bad behavior is socially acceptable.

Citizens United was the final straw in the downfall of America democracy.

It's been inevitable since.

Unless it's overturned it's over, and I don't think they can overturn it.

I think they said the judge didn't have the right to block it nation wide, only for the states that sued, which was 22 or something like that.

Sorry.

I missed that yesterday they also destroyed 2 and damaged 2 fighter jets. That's quite the 2 day win there.

AI has some good uses!
