  • Buying a $250 Residency Card From a Tropical Island Let Me Bypass U.S. Crypto Laws

    Jump

  • That's probably a fair assessment, but still a rather damning indictment of the industry writ large.

    There are definitely better versions of cryptocurrency that I think could be more useful, but the industry is definitely not headed in that direction. Instead, it's all pump-and-dumps, rug-pulls, and other schemes that render them nothing more than highly speculative asset classes in which the underlying asset has no intrinsic value.

  • New York becomes first US city with congestion charge

    Jump

  • No, and the majority of New Yorkers don't own cars. Which is why it's been mind-boggling to have the majority subsidize the minority and out-of-towners when they want to drive in an store their 3-tonne vehicles in public space, often for free.

  • New York becomes first US city with congestion charge

    Jump

  • Yeah, to be honest, that's a crappy article from CBS. London's Low Emission Zone is a huge success in terms of air quality and active transportation. The city has continued to pour the revenues generated from the zone fees into its public transit system, so the iconic double-decker busses run frequently all day, and they have continued to open new train lines like the Elizabeth Line. New York has never managed that level of investment, and without the income and incentives congestion pricing creates, it won't be able to. If anything, London still prices the LEZ too low, just like NYC has priced it too low at $9, rather than the $15 was supposed to be before Gov. Hochul's cowardice.

  • There’s No Dancing Around It: Apple’s Vision Pro Was An Ugly Dud

    Jump

  • I’ve seen where doctors are using it for surgery

    The article I've seen is one instance in Brazil (article in Brazilian Portuguese) for laparoscopic surgery, which makes a lot of sense. I don't know how it compare to other displays, however, or if using a VR set rather than a monitor offers advantages, or if the Vision Pro did anything new or better. The same article mentions that doctors had done the same thing with a HoloLens VR headset some years before.

    Whoopi Goldberg calling herself 'a working person' garners criticism from 'The View' fans

    Jump

  • She ain't Gainan, and she lost touch years ago. She spent a View episode with then-mayor DeBlasio whining about bike lanes in Manhattan, when more than half the city can't even own a car and she was being driven into the city for tapings. No sympathy.
