Give me what I want, and I will gladly pay:

Truly anonymous unpersonalized YouTube under the old algorithm from the early 2000s.

No tracking, no censorship, no manipulation, no boosted videos…

Truly anonymous payment options.

Google-free viewing.

But you make most of your money by tracking all that, and keeping me from finding the videos I actually want to watch, so who am I kidding.


Shadowrunners needed. Transport job. Paying top Nuyen. Rigger a must. Contact: Zipline


Could we vaccinate Herpes to forget how to latch on to cells?


Not really.

The current approach is to try and find an antigen on the herpes virus that the virus can't stop the immune system from recognizing.

Or use antivirals to stop the reproduction process, and the virus eventually dies. That's the approach with hepatitis C.


No. If you create a strain of a disease that is less persistent, it would obviously be wiped out almost instantly by basic natural selection.

Then testing this technology might prove your hypothesis.


Perhaps.

Except a lot of studies are poorly done, humans are prone to confirmation bias, "serious" medical experiments can be awful stuff of a sort that won't get approved -- and rightly so.

Trying to get buy-in on new ideas can be shockingly hard.


Cities are made of houses. Houses are made of rooms. If rooms are hot, aren't cities hot? If room heat is pumped outside, did the city temperature really change? What is the heat-island effect?


People believe we are coming out of an ice age?

This means they deny climate is changing.

The more you know…


It's not belief...This is a pretty accepted fact, the debate amongst the educated is about the speed and causes of the change (man-made vs not)


And have car cubs? Manufacturers would lose control of the herd, they'd never allow it!


Rear seatbelts won't work unless you subscribe, so this is a road safety issue, with government fining you for passengers…


It means track users across cars, enabling or disabling features based on who owns or drives it. Might even simplify things by tying it to a social credit score. Screw that.


The state already tracks users across cars. Not sure what data you think you're protecting.


Puncture loudspeakers, and use external audio.
