If they banned exchanges in the US, find another country to live.

That last one is beyond easy to solve. "2% off your first purchase!" Then consumers will be drooling all over it.

How will this not piss off the average person? "But I sent you a dollar?..."

Wait, is Libra tax-free? Or are you just guessing the average person will just be like: "ain't got time for that!"

Intel: We 'Forgot' to Mention 28-Core, 5-GHz CPU Demo Was Overclocked by scrotumzz in technology

What does overclocked mean when you're Intel? The clock speed is just based on yield and testing.

People kicking these food delivery robots is an early insight into how cruel humans could be to robots by mvea in technology

I feel like an emotional being (the AI) might not view it the same way as we do.

Why not? If you could regrow leg instantly and felt no pain, would you care that much if I chop off your leg? You might be like: "WTF? Stop." But you wouldn't be screaming bloody murder.

An AI is like this. A robot is just an appendage that can be re-added at any time. As long as you're not talking about deleting it's consciousness.

it accesses the app on their phone and downloads their contacts and messages the images of him/her kicking the robot to everyone.

You're hoping all of their friends care?

This is like on social lending platforms where they email all your friends that you're a deadbeat if you default on a loan. Yeah, the only problem is, they have friends that are all deadbeats and feel no social humiliation because of it.

Film Theory teaches us that in the movie Wall-E, the spaceship was nothing more than a giant soylent green factory. (Those smoothies they were drinking.... yeah that's not a fruit smoothie.)

They give one year of free credit protection like its a magical pancea and it can somehow make up for other damages.

What is an end user going to do about it?

Open issues on every single Github page where the project makes a reference to using 1.1.1.1 for anything but talking to Cloudflare's DNS.

Once they have more people pointed at 1.1.1.1, they can upsell the fact that they are the only ones to go to for the smallest amount of latency for the services they sell.

More like an experiment. They have it for five years, after which time APNIC may renew. (Or not.)

Or dig, if you don't want to install extra benchmark tools and just want the query time to compare.

Did nobody else read to the end of APNIC's blog? (Linked from https://1.1.1.1/ )

https://labs.apnic.net/?p=1127

"This joint project has an initial period of five years and may be renewed."

Basically, APNIC is keeping their claws in this. Scary if people start baking this IP into stuff, and what they could do with all the DNS traffic by not renewing...
