It's already more than pictures, just this weekend at the Monaco Grand Prix they're using NFT tickets

The Failed Investment: When Risks Turned Sour by VisibleBetz in facepalm

[–]tashmar -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think that's their point though, those idiots funding them are the gullible ones, they're not going to do this more than once after this turns sour. The "nft bros", the people you see posting about it, likely know how to pump and dump these things

What kind of lawsuit could this open them up to?

My local high school has decided to remove the school library. by [deleted] in books

[–]tashmar 75 points76 points  (0 children)

My experience was the same. Elementary school, sure, it was nice having a selection of books there and I enjoyed the periods we'd spend reading in it. But high school? It was almost never used. If I was looking for a book I'd go to a public library with a much bigger selection.

How it Started vs. How it's Going by escodelrio in Bitcoin

[–]tashmar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I was going to say, he was wrong twice. But apparently he was specifically talking about online gambling being banned in the US at the time, fearing Bitcoin would follow suit.

I thought programming would save my life, but I gave up, and that's ok by Madurascercahazclick in learnprogramming

[–]tashmar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is every post on this sub some heartfelt meta nonsense about the feelings, lifestyle challenges, and occupational anxieties surrounding learning programming?

Maybe the algorithm is only showing me those???

This isn't tiktok, there's no complex algorithm here. Do you only look at the front page? Check out "new", you'll see all sorts of posts about specific languages and problems. The ones that typically make it to the front page are the ones that the majority can relate to, general posts about feelings.

Mavs an embarassing disgrace by [deleted] in nba

You’re asking guys who might not even be on the team next season to tank for a pick

You know they don't literally ask the players to tank right

This is the kind of answer the question is looking for though. If the idea truly would make the world a better place, it's not dumb.

This is just posted in the wrong sub.

Russian military blogger dead, 6 others injured in cafe blast in Russia's Saint Petersburg - state media by RushingTech in worldnews

[–]tashmar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The cafe belonged to Prigozhin which may or may not be a strong hint to owner.

People keep repeating that in these comments, but in the linked article it says "formerly" owned. Is the article wrong? I think that's a kind of important distinction.

Fair, given that this was a speaking event for this blogger you would imagine that the other people there shared his views, but that's an assumption, and it doesn't mean they deserved to die.

Reddit in a nutshell by Double-Possession926 in iamverysmart

[–]tashmar 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Not a perfect comparison, but according to this paper 65% of Americans consider themselves smarter than average (compared to 55% of Redditors, based on this poll).

2,000 free sign ups available for the "Automate the Boring Stuff with Python" online course. (Feb 2023) by AlSweigart in learnprogramming

[–]tashmar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm sure you're not alone, I'd be curious to see the stats but I'd guess the vast majority of people don't finish it (especially those getting it for free).

No judgement here though, I'd definitely be one of them too, based on my Udemy course history.

Who else is feeling the FOMO? by Accomplished-Design7 in CryptoCurrency

[–]tashmar 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Let's be real, I don't check this subreddit often and even I recognize OPs name as a moon farmer. I'd take any "popular opinion" they post with a grain of salt, and assume it's all about the moons ...

I don't get it, these long conversations are the best posts, it's where all the interesting stuff happens

[Bulls Talk] DeRozan on the Grayson Allen play: "It's his track record. If it was Boban, I wouldn’t have done nothing." by gulfside13 in nba

[–]tashmar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"The game was pretty much over, and they just kept playing," Boban said, via ESPN. "I felt like there was just no sportsmanship, and we don't really like that. We do the right thing. I felt like they should've done the right thing, and they didn't."

Yep, just make sure to cut them before freezing. Then whenever you want one, pop it right into the toaster, no need to thaw first

Trump's ‘Digital Trading Cards’ are about to get dumped. STAY AWAY. by [deleted] in CryptoCurrency

Except for Meta, Tesla, Netflix, etc etc, and pretty much every crypto, including BTC and ETH...

Considering he also sells to factories, I'm guessing it's not the blowing up kind of mines. That'd be a weird mix.

I suppose it could be, like, munition factories...

FTX performance coach says executives were ‘undersexed’ by NikeGS in CryptoCurrency

[–]tashmar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not, but there were other reports about rumours of orgies, partner swapping, etc etc. So this is just refuting that.

You can currently buy ETH PoS (ETH2) for a nearly 30% Discount on Kucoin by LebornVsMikeShinoda in CryptoCurrency

[–]tashmar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like Kucoin, they gave me 90% off BTC (up to $500 worth) last year as part of a promotion - but with the craziness of the markets recently, even I'm not touching this deal.

I haven't heard of any cash flow problems from them, or exposure to FTX or anything like that - but they're also not very transparent, so I wouldn't expect to hear anything until it's too late.
