I'm from Tokyo, so I'm saying this as someone with a direct stake in the matter, but is this really a problem? The Earth is on fire right now, the oceans are literally boiling, it is face-melting hot here. The consequences of the period of unsustainable growth are finally coming to pass. There was a report yesterday saying we'd passed the yearly mark for what the planet can provide, and we'd need 1.7 Earths now to meet everyone's needs. So maybe naturally reducing the population isn't such a bad thing.

How do you prove someone in the central government didn't take a bribe and tamper with the records? What if you're from a country where the central government is less than stable? How would you prove ownership if something were to happen to that database? How do you prove that someone is who they say they are? How do citizens and businesses access that database? Is there a standardized format for it? Does it use some proprietary software built by the lowest bidder?

Not saying that blockchain has all the answers or that it is the right tool in all cases, but these are some of the problems it is trying to solve.

My baby failed the gender test and has to wait until next month for the retest before they can be born

There was a curry place that opened up next to my office that went one step further. The QR code redirected to an app you had to install to place your order. After a month of no customers they almost went out of business, but finally the owner gave up and went to a printed menu. Now they're doing all right, but I was talking with the owner and he was grumbling about the massive amount of money he wasted on it.

My opinion of the accused has absolutely nothing to do with my objection to the death penalty. Actually, the fact that you brought it up is rather telling, in that what you're advocating for simply boils down to revenge, which has no place whatsoever in the criminal justice system.

Every time he fucks up he just add another X to the name

Reminds me of this comic

the film companies filed a motion to compel Reddit to respond to a subpoena demanding "basic account information including IP address registration and logs from 1/1/2016 to present, name, email address and other account registration information"

who the fuck fills that in on account registration anyways? do they even have a field for your name?

once the cost comes down below animal-based meat it will see wide adoption

oh yeah, absolutely. the nanosecond it becomes cheaper is the moment McDonald's and all the other large corporate fast food places make the switch. taste or anything else is secondary to shareholder profits anyways (which in this case is a good thing at least)

Oh god, please give NATO an excuse to show the world why Americans don't have health care.

Yeah! You're 100% right!!! Freedom for everyone! Just because they're from a small non-profit doesn't mean they're not entitled to the same protections everyone else enjoys. You, I, and everyone else have the right to say Twitter promotes hate speech and Elon is a racist bastard, and he shouldn't be able to stop that no matter how much money he has! Especially if they have the proof to back it up!

yeah, I'm gonna need to see pics of that please

Genuine lol at 2011

Unless it's on their own terms, it seems nobody wants to work anymore

No fucking shit Sherlock! Being made to work on terms I didn't agree to is called slavery

Are there any relevant projects or ideas that already exist?

Yes there is, it's called a business card. It's opt in, has all your relevant information, and best bit, no phones or proprietary software required.

The board becomes 4D. Then OP has to make a lame joke about playing 4D chess

Problem is though, we might not have time enough to wait for that to happen

oh oh!!! now to the police next please!

I thought it was "ten"

On the contrary, this is the type of attention they need. The more twitter and conservatives become associated with child rape, the more toxic both become and the better for us all in the long run.

600 likes!!! Every one of those assholes should have their account suspended as well
