The older I get, the more I question the value of public companies vs the damage they do. As soon as you've got shareholders at large to please, you're incentivized to keep your share price going up above all else, especially in the short term. Global stock markets seemed like a great idea at the time, but I feel they're doing more damage than good at this end of capitalism.

I feel like they're going to get into legal trouble with that name and logo.

Everyone loves the free market until it works against them.

I love the satisfaction when something goes wrong on a ride and you're prepared for it. I came off my bike a few months ago and scraped up my elbow pretty bad. Despite the mild concussion I remember being quite excited to be able to patch myself up in the field, hahaha.

The accompanying photo is on brand.

Is it? I skimmed the GitHub source code and couldn't see anything involving encryption, but it's totally possible I missed something. Perhaps just accessing the database from python is enough to decrypt it.

This legit feels like a scene from Idiocracy. "We tried giving the plants Brawndo... it's the thirst mutilator!"

Just don't package them like every other sensible country on Earth.

Wow, it's pretty wild they didn't even attempt to encrypt or protect this data, even if it is local to your machine. What a treasure trove for malware to sift through.

You have to chuckle at the 13% of humans who took the time to write in against a human rights act.

Ok I'll admit, the first thought that went through my head:

100 tonnes of gold! That must weigh a lot!

A new deal is being forged with 4chan instead.

The author had so many things to highlight that they didn't even mention "as of August 2024" being in the future, haha.

What a trainwreck. The fact it's giving anonymous Reddit comments and The Onion articles equal consideration with other sites is hilarious. If they're going to keep this, they need it to cite its sources at a bare minimum. Can't wait for this AI investor hype to die down.
