    Does Brave actually block ads now? Or does it still replace them with ads for scanmy cryptocurrency?

    Probably just a coincidence that Garry Tan and Marc Andreseen have so publicly aligned themselves with a cabal of pedophiles.

    A civil war would require a second side. There's nothing here but enthusiastic support from bloodthirsty nazi freaks.

    Feels crazier that there is literally zero resistance to it.

    Really drives home that the median American is a bloodthirsty nazi freak.

    The people aboard certainly are. If you're ok with these people being murdered, I guess you'll be ok when it happens to you.

    Some Americans literally bought and consumed horse medicine because they thought it would cure covid. That’s not misinformation.

    If the elderly with no skin in the game are allowed to vote, then children should be allowed to vote.

    To be clear, I'm ok with disallowing children to vote if we also disallow the elderly. But if one group can vote, its only fair that the other group can as well.

    I would love to see a program like this succeed. There are huge hurdles in getting partners though.

    The strength of Carfax is the enormous number of data sources they use, and the enormous amount of money they pay for access to those sources. A typical Carfax report can include data from the OEM, dealership, government agencies, police agencies, insurance companies, and repair shops (both big groups and small independent shops).

    Even if HP is willing to put in the money and effort making connections to secure data sources, it relies on those data sources wanting to play ball, rather than trying to build their own siloed approach.

    It's certainly a noble goal, and I hope there is some kind of consumer groundswell to enable a program like this. I also hope, that like Carfax, there are eventually standards for the data, allowing competing services to exist.

    The alert system in Texas is optimized for "Blue Alerts", to warn people that a cop 250 miles away stubbed their toe.

    At a certain point if you keep getting outdoor cats you’re making a conscious choice to keep feeding coyotes.
