Yes, sorry about that.

I think a bit splitting hairs

Maybe so. I wonder if there is some sort of class I can take that would help me to not do that.

“Only two things that money can’t buy and that’s true love and homegrown tomatoes.”

The purpose of the study was not to determine the core beliefs of the people who like crypto, it was to compare how crypto enthusiasts aligned with selected moral foundations.

its looks mess right now

yep

I can’t believe that hasn’t gotten more attention. That sounds pretty serious to me.

You just got to be more creative about lying about what the software does.

Well, they need the app to beam the information back to the mothership.

Yes. I think people like bitcoin because it is decentralized. There aren’t banks or government that control the currency. There is no authority. I don’t see anything unfair about it. On top of that, I don’t understand how loyalty, care, or purity relate to bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency.

I don’t see why the idiots buying the $500 “wi-fi monitoring devices” wouldn’t pay $500 for an app.

Knowing more about the neighborhood (thank you, @TinyPizza) and having had more time to think about it, I’m still inclined to see this as a crime of passion.

I think that is the most probable scenario.

I don’t think there is enough information to draw any conclusions about what the motive was or was not.

I don’t see how cryptocurrency exemplifies loyalty or authority.

Did anyone but Amazon ever even sell mobi files?

Yes, but they were bought by Amazon.

Is it illegal to con people

In general, yes.

I know there’s a temptation to blame this on the current conflict in the Middle East, but I’ll repeat what I’ve said in one of the other threads: the sad reality is that most women are murdered by men they know, and primarily by current or former intimate partners.

There isn’t anything to suggest that the motive for this crime was the conflict in the Middle East. However, even if we knew for a fact that the crime was committed by someone she knew, we couldn’t rule that out because she worked to bridge the gap between the Jewish and Muslim communities.

Woll was co-chair of the American Jewish Committee’s ACCESS Detroit Young Leadership Program and founder of the Muslim-Jewish Forum of Detroit. In 2017 she was selected by the Detroit Jewish News as one of their “36 under 36”.

In 2015, in the wake of the November 2015 Paris attacks, she helped bring high school students of Muslim and Jewish faith together through an essay and art contest in a public event at Wayne State University organized through Greater Detroit Muslim Jewish Solidarity Council.[3]

Just saying.

“Gas and oil drilling, hydrofracking is anything but (safe),” Morgan contended. “The waste stream is radioactive waste that has to be re-injected, has to be carted away by trucks. It’s light pollution, it’s noise pollution, it’s air pollution.”

I haven’t heard that before. How does fracking produce radioactive waste? Does it work like injecting contrast material for a CT scan?

Then, researchers compared the alignment of crypto enthusiasts with what are known as “binding moral foundations” (Authority, Purity, and Loyalty) – typically associated with political conservatives – to “individualizing foundations” (Fairness and Care) which are often linked to liberals.

IMHO, that is a really strange set of “moral foundations”.

‘These devices appear to be nothing more sophisticated, or dangerous, than a simple cell phone, which also can detect a Wi-Fi signal,’ Michon Lindstrom, director of communications for Secretary of State Michael Adams, said in a statement to the Cincinnati Enquirer.

If they have any sense, they’ll just make an app you can run on a phone.

You’re right, but the parts you’ve picked are misleading. Minimums are normal for a lot of gig work.

I was primarily marveling how high the pay rates were, and that business owners essentially have to pay the cops whatever they want. The minimums don’t seem particularly outrageous given that the cops reportedly don’t really do anything when they are there.
