  • They say they get around the easy linking of a single wallet address to your identity by using subaddresses. I don’t think this fixes it, it merely delays it.

    The number of these subaddresses are capped to prevent botting. But suppose you use this account every day for years or decades. You’ve meticulously allocated subaddresses for different categories of spending, assessed the risk profile of using each one, and used them throughout the years until you’re out of subaddresses.

    Now you’re vulnerable to having your identity tied to the account since the risk of getting had goes up every time you use any of your subaccounts. And this risk only increases the more you use your Worldcoin.

    Even if the biometric privacy safeguards they built in (hashing yer Mk. I orbs) work perfectly, I wouldn’t use it for the reasons I mentioned above, there isn’t a way to ensure transactional anonymity if your account/subaccounts can be linked to your real identity regardless of the method.





  • I’ve been driving for years so I gotta critique this concept.

    1. Where’s the right side mirror? That’s critically important in being aware of what’s on your blind spot or when merging in lanes.

    2. The turn indicator positions are nonstandard. They should be on the left arm and controlled in an up-down motion, instead of being used to turn on and off the lights. Right now they’re on the steering wheel where the horn is, which is confusing.

    3. There are no instrumentation that isn’t musical on the dashboard. I can’t tell how fast I’m going, whether my engine speed is normal, or how much gas/charge my vehicle has. Yes, it moos. Yes that’s the sound a cow makes but that’s not helping me drive the car now is it.

    4. Why is there a traffic light on my dashboard? Unless it is synced to the traffic grid and shows real time status of the light in front of me it’s useless.

    5. The gear shifter doesn’t distinguish between the gears, or anything really. Is my transmission set to drive forward or backwards? This is the difference between going through a drive thru and ordering coffee and literally driving through the coffee shop.

    No wonder our children aren’t learning how to drive safely if their toys do not reflect real world knowledge of steering wheel equipment.

    This is why we need good driving simulators. Like GTA 5.



  • Yeah and unless someone has the exact knowledge of what hard drive to look for in a server rack somewhere, tracing an individual site’s contents that went 404 is practically impossible.

    I wonder though if Cloud applications would be more robust than individual websites since they tend to be managed by larger organizations (AWS, Azure, etc).

    Maybe we need a Svalbard Seed Vault extension just to house gigantic redundant RAID arrays. 😄
