kwonkicker··on Helvetica Now Variable
That is the most insane thing ive heard. Am i to pay extra for every person passing by the billboard ive designed?! Who thought this was ok?! So i could go broke if my website goes viral for the wrong reasons?! Insanity.
kwonkicker··on Regulators should treat stablecoins like banks
Prob not but itd shake everything up. They'd have to get a lot of loans, and maybe sell out the company. For comparison, banks allowed to go as high as 10:1 so 383:1 is insane.

Wishful thinking

kwonkicker··on Amazon disallows pointing out paid reviews
Considering 90% ( thats what it feels like) of amazon shops are dropshippers who resell alibaba products but for 10x the cost, with no extra value, it is no wonder it starts to bug more and more people every day. US needs to figure it's sh*t out. How a teenager buy a publicly avaiable chinese toy for 69 cblents and sell it in US for an obscene amount (14$) is beyond me. The system is broken.

kwonkicker··on Facial Recognition Leads To False Arrest Of Black Man In Detroit
Due process should not be abandoned in favour of automation. This was police negligence as much as it was a software mismatch.

One more thing, the article was being to dramatic about the whole incident.

kwonkicker··on Things that I think will be important in the next decade
Nobody thinks that. Just a handful of loud ones. Look what happened after Snowden. Did people start spending less time using their phones? The biggest step they took was covering their webcams via tape. Nobody cares that they are being watched as long as it doesnt make the news.
kwonkicker··on 3.8M-year-old skull of an early ape-like human ancestor discovered in Ethiopia
What bugs me is the concept of "one point origin". Are we even exploring different angles? Also, how a 4m year old bone is so prestine? African ancestory hoaxes are so common that i just read such news for the sake of it. Doesnt chamge anything even if it were true. But i like the idea that we are sobriety special, even tho the opposite is also just as amazing.
