Agree about space for all forms of vehicles for awhile - especially when and where the electricity grid isn't yet decarbonized. Where I live, a good portion of the household electricity comes from coal power plants, so I wouldn't get an electric vehicle because it basically becomes a coal-powered car over here. I think the key is, as you said, to allow the market to test out the electric car industry in general, while still letting all forms of vehicles coexist for awhile. Frankly, I'd like to see a) the grid decarbonized and b) better public transportation as a much higher priority than electric cars.

Also NFT's require blockchain technology (I guess there could be other ways to do it but currently in practice they use blockchain) which is a big disadvantage as far as the environment is concerned

I know, I reckon there's going to be a decent sized market for a dumbphone, or at least a privacy oriented phone. The problem is that few networks sell or even plan to sell these

In the article it says there is a big push to video such as Instagram Reels, which is not always what viewers want. I think too many social media platforms are trying to copy TikTok and prioritize video, but if people want video they are already on TikTok anyway. The reason they're going to Instagram isn't for video. It's the same with Pinterest - it's trying to prioritize Idea Pins, which are videos, but I'm not on there to watch videos (if I was, I'd just use TikTok instead). So it's really frustrating trying to "dodge" the videos on Pinterest, and I suspect it's the same with Instagram.

Yeah. Maybe they could bring back another species that would occupy a much-needed niche, for example are there any extinct species of honeybee? That might be more useful, since we need more pollinators

I don't really have a problem with this. FSD is a misnomer and has been involved in several crashes. So it doesn't bother me to be priced out of the market, I wouldn't buy it anyway. ADDED: to be fair, I was already priced out of it at the previous price anyway lol!

Couples rarely commit crimes together. But Heather “Razzlekhan” Morgan and Ilya “Dutch” Lichtenstein, whose social media antics disguised an alleged plot to abscond with billions in stolen crypto, are no ordinary couple.

I wish I could say this surprised me, but sadly it does not. Facebook has a terrible track record in that area.

I don't see a problem here....! Facebook seems like a minefield of misinformation. I've never used it and I've been just fine without it. If Europe forces a blackout of Facebook maybe that will make Facebook rethink its privacy policies? Then again, Facebook has continued to screw with people's data even after the Mueller investigation, after all the misinformation, etc etc so it probably will never change its ways. Eventually I think people might stop using it, I don't know any young people who are on it.

Sitting down in front of a computer or looking at a phone is one thing. Putting headgear on to play a game is not something I'd want to do, and the price makes it seem even less appealing! The article itself was great, very well-written journalism. I love the reporting and the choice of article here, I just can't imagine myself wanting to use a headset to access the metaverse.
