Start investing and pumping money into the market, guys! This time it's safe, market will never go down again and noone will lose money! Promise! /s

It's funny how they talk of money and market value being erased as if the money is definitely subtracted from balance without being added somewhere else, literally deleted from existance.

When the market crashes for you and others, there's always someone in the high echelons of the game who ends up getting richer.

I haven't kept up with C++ for over a decade, but the little glimpses I catch of it makes me think that though it has received good and useful stuff, it has also grown needlessly complex.

Maybe my wording is bad; the EU should offer protection to US citizens who expose crimes committed by the US government in the EU. And preferably committed elsewhere in the world, since it's in the world's best interest to know.

I think this is a cultural thing as well.

I am reminded of how Daniel Stenberg (author of curl) interviewed with Mozilla, and mentioned it was several interviews taking place over several days. Obviously questions like these made up the bulk of the interviews, because they could not seriously have any doubts of his skill as a software developer.

Several interviews stretching over several days; accused serial killers have had to endure less before going to trial.

I wonder how many more people we don't know about have been killed to keep this mess contained.

Ghislaine's peculiarly friendly and apologizing comments about accused rapist and former U.S President Bill Clinton suggests who she suspects may be behind some of it. Coincidentally there's frequently talk about how several of his past associates seem to have been shot and killed.

The dairy industry wants us to think that humans are weak and frail, with crumbling bones and teeth, and we can only be strong and healthy if we live in symbiosis with the bovine and drink their mothers milk.

A bit dramatized for effect, but that's about how milk was pitched when I was growing up.

Personally these days I think it's a tough idea to sell.

When you send things using your gmail address, you still retain the IP rights to your material and property attached inside, but you also give Google a perpetual, unrestricted, non-exclusive right to that material, should it be looked at and deemed interesting.

The same thing probably applies to stuff made in this app by Apple.

It also feeds your ideas, sketches, and notes directly to Apple. Don't put any secrets into this app!

Buried somewhere in the EULA I suspect there is a paragraph giving Apple perpetual, unlimited, non-exclusive rights to anything that would be looked at and deemed interesting.

I doubt it was even sincere to begin with. There's no money in that.

Last I heard about Exxon Mobil and others they were figuring out new ways of selling more plastics in Africa. That's where the money is at, and that's all that matters to these corporations.

Don't Use Stripe 4 years ago

Don't use US American payment providers if you can avoid it.

It's a national sport over there to figure out new ways of getting people's money, whether it's peculiar made-up fees, or like in your case plain robbery under the ironical guise of crime prevention.
