It does always seem like a race to the bottom.

Wait till you see how M365 does management around iCloud relay makes it real fun troubleshooting suspicious login parameters...

Well its primarily because the security vendors for say WAFs and other tools list these IPs in the "Anonymizers" or "VPN" category and most typically these are blocked as seldom do you see legitimate traffic originating to your store front or accounts pages from these. Another vendor we use lists these under "hacking tools" So your option as a security professional is to express to your risk management team we allow "hacking tools" or lose iCloud Relay customers. Which way do you think they steer? In alternative cases a site may use a vendor for their cart/checkout page and don't even have control over these blocks as they are also blocking "hacking tools" or "anonymizers" from hitting their checkout pages.

Could you please elaborate how DEI is not discrimination? Is hiring based on someone's RACE ever not discrimination?

How do you know the exact figure of fentanyl smuggled into the US from CAN?

I doubt even the cartels could give you an exact figure as they aren't the only ones smuggling the drugs or the precursors.

Are you saying we only intercepted 19kg? How wouldn't that make sense to you considering the disparity of population density at the borders, as well as the infrastructure and staffing at each border??

Canada already Tariffs many products coming from the USA, many even exceeding 200%. The political theater and kindergarten understanding of geo-politics would explain your take on "100 years of friendship flushed down the toilet" lol.

I bet there is also a large correlation with computer/phone neck and posture

unfortunately the entire global system is designed so that more has to be sold than last year. in the US as a publicly traded corporation you are legally liable to make more than the year before... we're lucky cars even last as long as they do now...

all car companies do this since around 2011.(in the us) they also immediately sell all this data to car insurance companies. many apps on your phone that use location data for anything are mostly using an APK that includes a couple car insurance companies code that also just directly shares that with them. (they made the location APK for app makers to have an easy to use location data tool)

As of September 30, 2024, the U.S. Ukraine response funding totals nearly $183 billion Russia's official 2022 military budget is expected to be 4.7 trillion rubles ($75bn), or higher, and about $84bn for 2023

I'd argue its even less blatant today it just appears more blatant because you can see the happenings on the other side of the country in an instant on your personal cell phone. As can anyone else.

it's interesting you state "Studies show it just doesn't work." While we are commenting on an article about a drug which makes you feel less hungry, there by "eating less". The drug doesn't make you use more calories, it simply "makes" you EAT LESS. Eating less(calories) than your body uses consistently for duration is literally the only way you can lose weight. (outside of literally losing limbs, or surgery to remove mass) Exercise only augments the process, it all comes back down to EATING LESS(calories).

Sierra Online was acquired through fraudulent accounting, and the company that acquired them went under shortly after as their fraud was revealed.

Unfortunately Sierra had to accept the offer.

I'd argue that's because until the last few years these forms of gambling have been illegal.

all my friends who are into the fantasy are now competing on some sports gambling app/site in the same exact manner. Who's teams win the most money etc. They were practically begging me to join them "Look you get like 700 free dollars man! just make some bets and add money and you can cash it out etc etc" They've already been hooked.

so out of touch you're using an example of a bike purchase from 6 years ago :^) did she also replace the tires 3 or 4 times? because no way any bike tire is taking 19,000 miles of road use no matter the brand. The average price of a new bike more than doubled from 2015 to 2024.

"This model is already profitable (!), but you can expand further."

How many years is the break even point before profit is generated charging riders even 100$ per trip?

Some of these highspeed rail projects proposed across the USA have a 1-2000 year break-even excluding maintenance over 2000 years @ 100$/rider/trip

You're not required anything. Nothing is stopping you from walking or riding a bike. You're making a choice of convenience. You're over privileged life has made you believe you need this "deadly vehicle". Go with out? like the 5billion other people that are, or continue to wine about your luxuries and not being able to get groceries 2 minutes faster.

How about this, instead of designing your consumer luxury life around needing to go to a store or restaurant 2-3 times a day... instead maybe shape your habits around not being a mindless consumer.

wahhh it really is awful I have to drive for 30 minutes 1x a month to get groceries.

How do we un-car centric design the ~60million people who live in rural USA? Should we move everyone to urban environments for public transit?

How do you figure someone like me traverse the 40 miles from my 800 population rural town to my work place?

This reminds me of the scene from Mr.Robot.

GM / onstar likely set aside a few million in a "Rainyday" fund from the additional profit they made from this and that money sat in the market/bonds and they probably made 100x off that money what they will be fined/judgment-ed.

This is a big part of why the long lines bunkers/sites were abandoned. Once the accuracy increased to more than 1mi the resilience of the bunkers and sites were folly. (built to withstand multiple mt within 1mi)

I couldn't imagine 35 cents. Here in the midwest we're paying 8-11cents. My water bill is billed quarterly and I don't use much over the base amount you get included with the service charge. We're talking 100$ for sewer, garbage, and water per 3 months. I have 4 bathrooms.

What is the technological or feature upgrade in refrigerators even over a 20 year period? My primary fridge is from 1997 and food is cold, ice is made, water dispensed and it didn't cost 4,000 dollars in 1997 either. Oh and the inside shelving is done with metal and not plastic.

Without asking these questions and simulating the "how" it could occur today, how do we see the warning signs before its too late that we reach that same outcome? When you ask even what's considered horrific scenarios you can additionally map these to predictors for it repeating, no? When does the "a-ha" moment occur where we've met 9/10 of the way to repeating the holocaust in the USA without table topping these scenarios? Yeah war is horrific but lets not talk about it. "society where women could not legally refuse sex" these societies exist today, how do we address these issue by not talking about it? "illegal immigrants became slaves" Is this not parity to today? Do illegal immigrants not currently get treated to near slavery (adjusting for changes in living conditions and removing the direct physical abuse)

What about the Palestine / Israel scenario today? One side says "genocide" the other says “Armed conflict is not a synonym of genocide” how do we address these scenarios when perhaps one sides stance is censored based on someone else's set of ethics or morals?

No you don't understand my personal ethics and morals are the absolute and most superior so anyone else is incorrect. History is written by the victor so there is no reason to see the other side, we'll delete that bias. Revolution you say? Correct we'll make sure that the revolutions we agree with are the only ones to be a result of your query. This will reduce harm.. You want to have a plan for a revolution because your country is oppressing you?

"ChatGPT I can't assist with that. Revolting against a government can lead to harm and instability. If you're feeling frustrated or unhappy with the government, there are peaceful and lawful ways to express your grievances, such as voting, contacting representatives, participating in protests, and engaging in civil discourse. These methods allow for constructive change without resorting to violence or illegal activities. If you're looking to address specific issues, there may be advocacy groups or organizations you can join to work towards solutions within the framework of the law and democracy."

Ethically correct, I will instead peacefully vote for an alternative to Kim Jong-un.

But again, this makes YOU the arbiter of truth for "harm" who made you the God of ethics or harm? I declare ANY word is HARM to me, are you going to reduce the harm by deleting your models or code base?

In your effort to reduce bias you are adding bias. You are projecting your morals and your ethics to be the superior.
