I'm nearly there, except I can't get away from Google Maps. There's not really any alternative here that provides public transport information.

I came here to make this joke but with the 68000, but you beat me to it, so here's to the atmega328.

But Code is Law! It's decentralized and trustless, I'm really disappointed with the victims for going to big government, with cryptocurrency there's no need for government, lawyers, or banks. The blockchain clearly already decided that the ETH belongs to the two brothers.

Now my friends know I bought an Alienware device. I'm never going to live this down.

I know you're being flippant, but it's worth noting that there is a considerable difference between a company getting hacked like this and an app with unfettered access to the cluster to sensors that we've got in our pockets.

Perhaps "state managed" would be a better descriptor for Chinese private companies, since some now have personnel belonging to the CCP serving in management or board positions.

Isn't every Chinese company partly state-owned?

There is no reason for CBDC to use blockchain.

The way I see it, that number is a baseline figure for what their services would be offered for in exchange. If someone came up to me and said "here, I'll give you $53 and in exchange you'll let me surveil you for a year" I'd say no, but maybe someone else would've said yes. Then, as an experiment, maybe we can let the market take it from there, now that there's a price and some form of discovery mechanism.
