There's a lot of great Japanese jazz from the 70s and early 80s. Check out Kazumi Watanabe, from his early guitar-oriented days to the more full instrumentation of his compositions in the 80s and 90s. A favorite of mine is To-Chi-Ka, which also features Marcus Miller on bass. There are also a lot of great albums with female vocalists such as this one by Noriko Miyamoto and Isao Suzuki.

That is Bill Gates. The article has a 40 minute video of 'highlights' of a deposition he did in the late 90s.
That's not even a proper usage of the term clickbait. I wonder whether the lawyers actually know that.
I think the plan is to not just distribute your wealth to specific individuals, but to a broad spectrum of soci- oh, wait, that's socialism, which is fine.
They'd go to the food bank, soup kitchen, sleep on a tent in the street or a homeless shelter, start a ministry and receive donations. The question though is what if every christian did that, and that's a very complex economic question.
Sure, and instead of credit cards, the store can just write down on an index card that I owe them $60. Anyway, the idea is a level of automation exceeding what they had in Sumeria 7,000 years ago.
Some established, legitimate artists have been selling NFTs with their originals. But sure, overall, like crypto in general, the field is filled with scammers and get-rich-quick schemes.
I know someone who is a painter who for some reason decided to try selling NFTs a couple of months ago (I pointed out it was a bit late…). The only responses on opensea and Instagram she received were from scammers, trying to pull a “my payment didn’t work, you need to manually approve it” scheme to try to steal her credentials.
The concept of a certificate of authenticity for digital goods that can be traded isn’t inherently terrible.
Perhaps they’d have retained value if they had been attached to quality art rather than awful-looking algorithmically generated complete trash.
Sure, that's what I was saying in the following sentence.
He's testing it on paralyzed people, so they're probably depressed and desperate. It's kind of like he's trying to help, but it could be seen as sleazy because he knows these people will try anything to fix their situation.
Exact same thing this time around. Covid happened, Trump bumbled it and also Congress gave away 950 billion mainly to people who didn't need it, Fed lowered interest rates to zero... so Biden inherited rampant inflation and massive home price increases, and according to Conservatives, it's the 'Biden economy'. Of course they can never name anything they think Biden did to cause it.
