I've also seen a huge increase in anti EV & renewable energy propaganda.

A look at the posts from a right-wing Facebook user I know are recently all about it:

  * Anti windmill posts
  * Human induced global warming not being real
  * EV charging stations powered by diesel-powered generators
  * EV bus catching fire
  * 'meme post' about an EV simply displacing the greenhouse gases to the power generator that's far away and using a battery that's poisoning children who make them
  * Cost of driving EVs are equal to $17.33 per gallon of gasoline
Seems there is a real concentrated effort going on.

I have the same issue, but Uber has 2FA on the account through SMS. This way I can't login to cancel the account, and there is no 'unsubscribe here' link in the emails.

Also had someone use my email to sign up to an airline. After messing with the seat assignment and meal selection a few times it became old and customer service didnt know what to do, so I changed the associated email to 'helpdesk@airline.com'

Even funnier was how a gameshop website that I did have an account with actually changed my password and account details to be assigned to someone in another country. No notifications etc... So now there are a bunch of trade-in credits on my account, after changing it back to my own details.

If they ban it completely and the demand remains, it'll disappear underground, while if the government embraces it and puts AML/KYC (and most likely cash-limits) in place, they can control (and tax) it.

Local bitcoins is already out there and if those get blocked by the great firewall of China, alternatives will pop up soon enough.

Also the ICO environment is littered with complete utter garbage and I can see lots of people getting burned when jumping in uninformed, which seems to be happening on an accelerated pace these days.

But it's the best generation, it truly is.

From the article:

"The UK government can certainly insist that a company not based in the UK carry out its orders – that situation is specifically included in the new law – but as to whether it can realistically impose such a requirement, well, that will come down to how far those companies are willing to push back and how much they are willing to walk away from the UK market."

My bet would be the controllers, which would mean a Rift compatible release would be imminent when the Touch controllers are officially released in a month.

Also important to note that permanent infertility is quite a strong side effect

Eight participants had not recovered to meet the criteria of return to fertility after 52 weeks in recovery phase, the last visit according to the study protocol. These participants were followed on a case by case basis until they regained normal sperm counts (n 5, up to 74 wk of recovery) or declined further follow-up (n 2). One volunteer did not recover within 4 years since his last injections.
