The company named 2K pulls this every year where they disable the multiplayer and even single-player story-mode of their NBA 2K games that are less than 2 years old (they turned off NBA 2K20 servers in Dec 2021)
Its kind of sad what unemployment can do to people. India's unemployment rate has always been high and has kept going up post COVID.
On the flip side, not all Indians are bad. I've got multiple chances to work with some of them in the past and they are just a refreshing change to work with.
In case you didn't read the article, it clearly mentions that Coffeezilla himself owns some Bitcoin. So no, he doesn't think that "all crypto is 100% scams".
Sorry but why is Number 1 to be expected? HN often shows a lot of hate when any Google products like Gmail or Google Meet works well on Chrome, but not on Firefox.

If Apple is training a neural network to detect this kind of imagery, I would imagine there to be thousands, if not millions of child pornography images on Apple's servers that are being used by their own engineers to train this system
It's not a neural network. It's not AI. It's not trying to interpret image content. It's trying to identify known specific images, but is using a fuzzy fingerprinting match.

In the case of El Salvador, they adopted the US dollar when their native currency collapsed after a bloody 12 year long civil war. Notably the civil war was covertly funded by the United States in order to support regimes aligned with US interests. At the height of the war, the US was funneling $1-2 million USD per day (1980 dollars) to fund an army of child soldiers. [1]
The US is a proximate root cause for the loss of ES’s currency. I could see why they would want an alternative to the USD as legal tender.
In general the USD or the euro emerges as defacto form of legal tender on the other side of some sort for societal collapse. It can be a temporary thing, but it is not a healthy thing.
