  • Unfortunately, Know Your Customer has done a lot of damage to privacy, but there’s still a lot of exchanges where you can get Monroe with Bitcoin without Know Your Customer. And since Monroe is actually truly anonymous, you have a truly anonymous currency at that point.

    And the Monroe developers are working on making atomic exchanges work better, which are peer-to-peer trading of coins with low overhead and fees because it’s direct. No middleman.


  • You’re substantially increasing your chances of developing some form of cancer vs baseline though.

    Great video by Howtown on this that I think everyone should watch, at the end of the video here’s a snip of health outcomes vs alcohol consumption based on the most update to date science. The increased risk on the chart is per year, so with with 5 -6 drinks per day any given year you have ~1.5x the likely hood of developing an alcohol consumption related health problem, like cancer.





  • As the other guy said, double edged sword. Asbestos was fucking great, and is still used for certain things because it’s great. The poor interaction with human biology was the other side of the sword.

    An aside, I just pulled a fuck load of vinyl asbestos tile out of a house a year ago and while it wasn’t actually all that dangerous because I took proper precautions it’s sorta scary anyway cause of the poor interaction thing.

    Its a rendering from this funny cage Amazon patent, originally an idea for people to enter one of Amazon’s robotics floors to get amnesty, otherwise known as items on the floor.

    In that case, the cage was for protection. So maybe the data labeler is being threatened by outside forces and needs the cage.
