    Tyson IMO went service industry worker crazy without the usual pressure of getting fired for talking back or snarking at the customers.

    Because being tapped to be the new Science Communicator Supreme sounds like a huge honor until you realize you’re now cursed to constantly be dealing with having to rehash the same bullshit you’ve long since lost interest in because of repetition over and over again on morning news shows, when you’re not instead dealing with Stephen Colbert trying to Checkmate Atheists you over your own field of study.




  • You could very easily build the system to perform the age check without logging it to the user’s ID since the check only needs to be performed once to create an account and just block anyone without one from seeing any of the content.

    Estonia has digital ID based services and they aren’t China. In fact China despises them because they’ve made the cutting edge in digital public services without having to compromise citizen privacy, which makes China look even worse for going out of their way to invade citizen privacy when it isn’t even necessary to offer the same safety measures and services.

    Software Engineering, and it was more intended as a build project than as an academic venture. We would basically have been setting out to strip out all the addiction features Social Media is built with and see what can be built with what’s left and what new ideas can make it a good experience for the user without queuing them for ranked rage fest matches against whoever else is in the comment section they clicked on in the rage bait article.

    I actually had an offer from my advisor to study for a PhD under him by basically taking on a major coding project to develop a non toxic format of social media, or at least to get as close to that as possible. I also remember it involving some non crypto uses of blockchain software potentially but my prof was more interested in the complex web development aspects of it and actually got my web design professor in on pitching the potential for it to me.

    We had me enroll in a master’s level web design class to trial run it, and it turned out I wasn’t the webcode wunderkind they thought I might be given my good web design work for my courses so far. I’m creative but not a savant basically. We all agreed that my PhD potential was best sought after more design experience got under my belt.
