It is because the person is evidently a con-man. So it is not as much "interesting" but "illuminating" that supposedly smart people like scientists can be just as easily mislead as the random person responding to an ema

how about the current era, where every human generates thousands of photos per year ... is that a history worth remembering and will it help where we've come from? I am not saying to not study history, I am saying storing everything is

Imagine that Mona Lisa was lost shortly after its creation ... do you think we would not have something else like Mona Lisa in its place? Society created the value of Mona Lisa out of nothing. It is not such a unique thing - there are tens

Remembering the past does not mean remember every single pointless thing. Lots of things in the past were not worth the paper they were printed on.

I read the post, it seems someone cancelled a meeting and the candidate got a little antsy, then started using a type of language that scared off the employer. Nothing in the posts seems extremely outrageous to me, they could have been nice

In a realistic use cases (unlike the ones in the test) the hard drives are accessed very often. For anything by very light use, I would expect the drives to be written just about at all times.

If your personal account is frozen you could still work for someone else and ask them to pay you cash. Yes, reduces you options, but you still have options. Ergo you can still make a living. And if cash is a valid form a payment you can pay

I find the logic a bit strained, get a loan -> buy NFT -> sell NFT cycle was sustained by 1000% rises in the NFT prices, not by the 0% interest rates of the loans. Hence my incredulity towards the claim that 0% interest caused the NFT

I don't follow how 0% interests rates caused the NFT boon. Does the author imply that if the interest rates fell back to 0% the NFTs would take off again? I have hard time believing that. Notably the author misses the main effect of 0%
