Krollifi··on Supreme Court strikes down affirmative action in college admissions
> Groups of people don't have guilt or automatic responsibility, only individuals do.

Companies and governments can be found guilty of wrong doing.

ChatGPT:

Yes, both companies and governments can be found guilty of wrongdoing. The extent and process of holding them accountable can vary depending on the jurisdiction and the specific circumstances involved. Companies can face legal consequences for actions such as fraud, environmental violations, or antitrust violations, among others. Similarly, governments can be held accountable through legal means, such as investigations, impeachment, or legal proceedings, for acts that are deemed illegal or in violation of their responsibilities. The nature of the wrongdoing and the applicable laws and regulations determine the process and consequences of holding them accountable.

Edit: Havard was ruled against as an organization. Of course organizations can be held responsible for what they do including the government.

Krollifi··on Staying Alive
I took the transporter, silicon, and freeze. The soul comes from the brain/mind. I don’t accept the premise of the third question. It is not a reduction to see that the brain/mind produces the soul. And I use the term soul because if one does not then their morality is questioned so that is an easy fix to make.
Krollifi··on Molly White Tracks Crypto Scams. It’s Going Just Great
Mostly I was outlining two possible extremes but there is some reality behind them.

Coinbase was planning on creating a lending product but the SEC called that a security and Coinbase has delayed its plans.

There are collateralized loan products already in decentralized finance apps such as Curve and MakerDAO (oasis.app). There aren't many artificial limits to what a Turing complete smart contract can do as long as it has access to the underlying information.

Is crypto a briar patch that will fail or is it an ingenious technology that will kill traditional banking? Only time will tell. More competition is a good thing. Right?

Krollifi··on Crypto Is Mostly Over. Its Carbon Emissions Are Not
ARPANET started in the late 1960s. The internet was mostly crystallized as early as 1982 when TCP/IP was standardized[1]. AOL became common place in the late 1990s.

The Bitcoin network started in 2009. Ethereum, which allows multiple decentralized applications to run on a single chain, started in 2015. The Bitcoin Lightning Network which scales Bitcoin transactions with state channels started in 2019.

Uniswap and MakerDAO are pretty impressive use cases. Ethereum is becoming more efficient as rollups[2] are developed and released which will lead to use cases that we can’t predict yet.

Krollifi··on Ask HN: How do you come with a startup idea?
Whenever you have an idea put it in a file or notebook vault. Prioritize them by putting the most interesting ideas at the top. Build and update the list of ideas for life and you will never have to start from zero when coming up with ideas.

Memory management also may be fertile ground.

Krollifi··on Twitter’s Board Is Said to Seriously Consider Elon Musk’s Bid
The changes people are afraid of are Musk bringing back Trump and Alex Jones to the platform. Making Twitter more like 4chan and Bitchute in the name of free speech absolutism will turn it into a fringe place that drives people away.

If you are your brain then embryos aren’t people.
Krollifi··on Campaign Monitor has suspended President Trump
These platforms are really just websites. If you don't like them, you are free to make your own website. If you create a website would you really want the government to interfere with it?
Krollifi··on The universe is expanding faster than expected

How do app developers make money with F-Droid?
Krollifi··on Apple: Person-to-person experiences do not have to use in-app purchase
The only loophole I can see is to have web app stores because you can’t ban browsers. Web apps may improve greatly as lower level browser APIs like Houdini become available but I don’t think that will be enough. I think that html should be replaced by cross-platform native apps distributed over http.
