jdmark··on Massive genetic study finds genes linked to cannabis addiction
Correlation is not causation. Let's regulate alcohol consumption properly and then we can talk about potential cannabis addiction. Serving someone more than one drink per hour when they drove their vehicle to the bar should be illegal.
jdmark··on US Army contracts Kongsberg for 409 CROWS remote weapon stations
There is a software and hardware side to these weapon systems which is why this is being posted. The tech industry should know that armored vehicles are composed of subsystems and who develops those systems.
jdmark··on Tinder Offers $500-a-Month Subscription to Its Most Active Users
Interesting. A lightly used, high-class call girl is $280-$380 which is obviously much less than the Tinder subscription and you're actually guaranteed sex each month.
jdmark··on Musk, Starlink and Hypocrisy: Elon's “Benedict Arnold” Moment
The article is a complete joke and not based on fact. Typical of the piece of shit "journalism" Salon.com pretends to publish.
jdmark··on Living model of brain reveals human neurons work together to process information
I just wanted to show how absurdly short the character limitation is for new links. 5-8 more characters would help significantly.
jdmark··on NSA Orders Employees to Spy on the World “With Dignity and Respect”
Sounds like they are violating the United States Constitution through Congresses' illegal bulk data collection program and should be arrested and prosecuted for sedition.
jdmark··on Russian Offensive Campaign Assessment, July 30, 2023
The article was written and published by the International Study of War. I would check your own anaylsis, specifically the dates. The Chonbar Bridge is regularly attacked with drones as Russia is using it to resupply Crimea. It is part of their broader strategy of attacking logistical supply routes for the impending 'Battle for Crimea'.
jdmark··on Tesla charging technology put on fast track to become US industry standard
Cool.
jdmark··on Predictions about the decline of Christianity in America may be premature
Does anyone still believe any of this shit anymore? Religion is in decline because none of it is true. You're either athiest or agnostic, or they are lying to themselves.
jdmark··on Tether Used Falsified Documents and Shell Companies to Get Bank Accounts
Tether is laundering money while FTX was embezzling and defrauding money from customers. When we did some digging back in 2017 that is what we discovered about Tether and the various companies that they own. A full audit of Tether still has not been done which is what I was pushing for last year but they are definitely under the microscope now but we still will not find out if they are insolvent or not until some sort of government interaction takes place. At least with fiat we know when the dollar is going to be devalued, with crypto it's just a bunch of scammers and spammers managing these businesses with zero oversight which is why the lawsuits are taking place now.

We need to know these types of things so that we can know not to invest our precious fiat into companies that are just going to steal our money from us like what was done with Mt. Gox and FTX. We also need to know if the companies are at risk of collapse so we know when to trade against/short crypto, take profits, and buy the dip.

jdmark··on Sergey Brin: Irate Call from Steve Jobs
I think that fact could be reflected in his use of coffee enemas to treat his pancreatic cancer that was easily treatable with chemotherapy which the coffee enemas ultimately resulted in his own death.
jdmark··on L3Harris smart weapon release system to double Morocco’s F-16 firepower
This article is in relation to Morocco providing tanks through a proxy purchase by the United States to Ukraine: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34085543

I suspect that L3Harris is upgrading the Royal Moroccan Air Force's 23 F-16C/D fleet of aircraft to provide to Ukraine in the very near future.

It was announced on CNN today that we are in a full on proxy war with Russia which finally makes it official, especially with the visit from Zelenskyy today.

I do know that the announcement that we were in a full on proxy war with Russia was not going to be announced until Zelenskyy was physically in the United States visiting the White House for obvious security reasons.

Blatantly illegal.
jdmark··on Bitcoin Will Never Hit $69,000 Again Because of the Merge, Researcher Claims
What you should be scared of is Biden's executive order banning "Proof of Work".

"Using the energy-intensive proof-of-work consensus mechanism, could be banned in the U.S. under a proposal made by the White House Office of Science and Technology."

jdmark··on Script to install fluffychat (Matrix chat client) on Mobian on the PinePhone Pro
Support for the PinePhone is increasing and is rapidly becoming a viable replacement for Android and Apple's iOS especially when used as a VoIP client. Both iOS and Android force the compilation of adware into their apps that track users and reports back to FANG to assist in targeted advertising.

Linux smart phones, in this case, the PinePhone Pro, run mobile Linux distributions which do not allow adware due to proper operating system permissions.

jdmark··on Berlin wants a pan-European air defense network,with Arrow 3 ‘set’ as first step
