I think to the majority they were. But as with most online jokes, sometimes people believe them.

Hard to get too much detail on it yet. But looks like you’ll be able to build market tools (probably smart contracts) and other functionality.

If any game can leverage a public blockchain properly, it’s EVE. They’ve already got market driven economies and an in-game currency. Both historically annoyingly locked behind a TOS, limited APIs, and heavy-handed control of CCP.

Their community marketing system to unlock the closed beta looks like some bullshit though. I gotta perform actions like tweeting their trailer to get tickets to get access to the beta. I’ll pass.

Half the users are imaginary.

Shutdown is one word though.

Used to be a nice boring day of accounting.

The rules announced this week would update the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS), the government’s bible for everything that’s required in a new vehicle before it’s sold — from steering wheels to rearview mirrors — to set testing procedures to simulate head-to-hood impact, with the aim of reducing head injuries. If enacted, automakers will have to test their vehicles using crash test dummies representing adult and child pedestrians for the first time. NHTSA says the changes could save up to 67 lives every year.

And they expect people to stop making trucks because of pedestrian crash testing? Seems unlikely.

At least this isn’t relying on sensors or some other nonsense. Though it might be nice to require things like visibility requirements so people driving Rams could actually see the children they’re flattening.

You could say that about any endorsement ever.

Kamala Harris is the Democratic nominee for US president.

Never. I’d personally be afraid someone might take that seriously.

Though maybe that one’s cultural and said more casually where you’re from. I’ve heard it in TV shows, I guess.
