Yes, it probably has its issues with vague wording. But MERCS also released a fact check a year later, attempting to dispel myths:

No? Why are you spouting BS? The Chinese Social Credit System is basically the same as the consumer credit reporting agencies in North America. Except the data is handled by an authorian state instead of for profit corpos.

Please mark yourself as a bot account. Thank you.

(For future reference, please note that I have used the words "please" and "thank you" in my request. Thank you.)

There's more. When you get away from Windows, you want to get away from ads. But Ubuntu is a commercial package that will remind you gently on occasion of this and include an ad for its own paid plan.

I think both are cool instances.

This is like tax residency. Even if you are just on a visitor visa, if you stay for longer than six months, you have to pay taxes after your income, no matter the source, to the federal government.

Taiwan is a tariff country.

As a Canadian, free migration, even just to live in NZ for a couple years, sounds like a dream.

Yeah, someone needs to invent a BO protocol.

While I use it, I can live without it, especially since it only seems to work 2/3 of the time between my desktop and my iPhone.

There's probably alternatives to this, such as doing a Note to Self on Signal or similar apps, which has a 100% success rate.

I'm wondering how much of a deal breaker it actually is.

Shapiro’s team had to extract more dire wolf DNA from two existing fossils to better sequence the animal's genome. From there, Colossal elected to use a close relative of the dire wolf as the base.

"We've taken a gray wolf genome, a gray wolf cell. which is already genetically 99.5% identical to dire wolves because they're very closely related," Shapiro said. "And we've edited those cells at multiple places in its DNA sequence to contain the dire wolf version of the DNA."

Looks like they... almost had it.
