Many developed countries don't have credit score, but those tend to have credit records which show if you have or have not managed to pay your bills/debts on time.
Here in Finland for example, we have a concept called "maksuhäiriömerkintä". It literally means "mark of disruption in payment". You get this by failing to pay bills, then ignoring the reminders that you have outstanding bills for a lengthy period of time until it goes to the collecting agency.
This has an advantage of assuming that you're in good standing if you don't have such marks on your record, but makes banks' job of assessing risk of giving you loans for things like apartment mortgage harder, as they have to make an assessment based on less information. Essentially some of the risk of people who probably should have more expensive loans because they're not as responsible with their money is paid for by the rest of us. It's in line with having wider reaching social security net on cultural level.
I would find it completely acceptable if immigration agency to a country that is suffering from significant problems with economic migrants was to request that I provide citation from our bureaucracy that I do not have a maksuhäiriömerkintä on my record for immigration purposes and penalize me with meeting additional criteria such as payment of a bond that would be returned should I meet all financial obligations, should I have such marks on my record. It's one of the viable ways to see that I as an immigrant can in fact handle my finances, and will not become a financial burden, and notably one of the ways that private companies here in Finland have acted for a long time when a person immigrates or returns from a long stay abroad. There was a good story on the subject this friday on our national broadcaster's site (in Finnish) here:
If that was done years ago, we'd be hearing about it all the time, as this would be a massive breakthrough both in understanding of how brain works and in genetic engineering.
Considering the complexity of the system we call "human brain", I would suggest that attempting to genetically engineer its cells is very, VERY far away. We don't really understand how it actually works yet.
I'm not up to date on the bleeding edge of medical science, but from what limited information I have, we have ways of reducing/slowing down formation of scar tissue and "hiding" it in certain kinds of wounds and tissues, but nothing that would prevent scar tissue from forming.
If anyone has a better idea, please tell us about it.
That sounds very interesting. If the accuracy and speed of "mental control over object in two dimensional space" gets high enough and doesn't interfere with normal motor control in healthy people, I can see this becoming standard for pretty much anyone that needs to use complex machinery of any kind.
No. But google's business is to be in as many aspects of consumer's life as possible. Getting data on what kind of news person consumes is an excellent additional tool of data gathering on that specific individual.
Google won't lose it's bread and butter of being able to identify people's tastes and needs with high degree of accuracy from losing ability to serve news to people, but it will certainly be hurt.
That would be quite easy. Remove the taxation loopholes and force taxation of profits made in country x to country x instead of double Irish shenanigans.
Most likely they got canned because tumblr, being the favourite social network for the more depressed and frankly crazy girls of varying ages ended up accepting nudes from some such individuals who were well below the legal age, when they posted them themselves.
Such content would obviously not be on any "CP database", and with mainstream media being in full blown "destroy online social networking" crusade, some WSJ, NYT etc investigator most likely ran into such images while searching for any content that could be used to blackmail the IT majors. It has been done before, and it will keep getting done for as long as IT majors keep bowing to the pressure instead of telling the mass media to take a hike.
What is the common feature in your examples, "high speed trains and some electric cars" that is absent in VR?
That's right. Window(s) to see directly outside. That is what brings inner ear and vision into agreement, and one of the more critical reasons as to why high speed trains and cars have windows even for passengers with no control over the vehicle.
Even if they were like you describe, it would not address the correct problem pointed out in the GP post. Inner ear tracks acceleration, and when its tracking becomes inconsistent with what you're observing with your eyes, automated systems in your body make an assumption that you ingested some kind of psychoactive substance that is affecting your cognitive abilities and immediately act to evacuate the stomach to reduce additional substance absorption and have you lie down so it can maximize amount of resources needed to counteract the effects.
Their laugher early on was much better than yours. There are quite a few who made a killing on it, and are in the game only for small portions of their early bitcoin-based fortunes. If it completely folded tomorrow, they ultimately still made out with massive profits.
Dark Web hosting is by definition of the kind you don't want any backups of. This is about securing backups against a government entity with court backup. Not against "random hackers".
And it's much harder to secure backups against such entity, requiring a completely different approach. You're thinking securing against hackers. That's a completely different game compared to one they're playing.
Bitcoin investors are not a monolithic entity. There are many different investors with diametrically opposed preferences and interests. Speculators for example want volatile and erratic, while institutional investors want dull and stable.
Being both is the worst of all possible options, as that means it's unattractive to both speculators and institutional investors.
Is Google really beholden to Wall Street at this point in time though? My understanding is that core group of insiders still holds the stocks necessary for full control of the company regardless of happens to public stock.
Not at all. In modern world, warfare generally uses two different radar types - search radar which you can see spinning around in at 360 degrees and fire control radar that uses a directional pulse/beam. Problem with stealth is that it can be tracked by radar with low accuracy, i.e. you can get the general direction where aircraft is on your search radar, but you can't get a high accuracy track needed for fire control radar to be effective. So detection of stealth aircraft isn't a problem for modern radar systems. Tracking them accurately is.
That means that if you can develop a fire control radar that can produce a track accurate enough for a missile to be effective, stealth becomes effectively reduced or even nullified for purposes of anti-air warfare.
The only thing that people with degrees in grievance studies know how to do is criticize others. With mozilla having been largely taken over by such people in recent years, it's to be expected that they at least need something to work on.
Hence, project that tries to paint anyone who is in any kind of potential competition, or a target for the next takeover by people with degrees in grievance studies as "bad and in need of corrective action" makes perfect sense. It's not about the gutted and slowly dying mozilla. It's about spreading the parasitic ideology of the people that gutted it from inside to other companies, using the dying husk of mozilla as a host for as long as it can last.
Pocket shills called. They wanted to remind you that they already used all those lies in the past, and it may be harder to use the same lies now to push for the same agenda.
Macron is the pro-corporate former banker turned pro-elite politician. How you managed to spin that into "socialism" is anyone's guess, especially considering that his country actually has a socialist party, and he ran against them and won.

Seeing how opposite is true, I'm calling BS.
Well, based on your sample of one, I guess your brain is certainly damaged.
Considering the complexity of the system we call "human brain", I would suggest that attempting to genetically engineer its cells is very, VERY far away. We don't really understand how it actually works yet.

I do enjoy how you get triggered every time I drop a truth bomb around here. Keep following me for even more mind blowing revelations.

This is true for any zero sum investment, and bitcoin is tiny in comparison to many such investments.

No, just people who specialize so deeply in their field of choice, they're utterly ignorant of everything else.
You know, scientists.

Yes, but they're not Wall Street, and as a result can plan for long term rather than quarterly profit.
Most millenials know this. People really need to stop conflating them with generation Z.

I see your meme and beat you to death with Pocket.
