Syrian here, born, raised, and finished my studies in Syrian.

Been to many countries like UAE, Saudi, and finally Germany.

I can tell that the joy is immense. Most druze and alawite are not too happy and fearing, mainly because of the feare built into them throughtout the war years.

Incertanitiy is very big, but the joy of seeing a north-korean-like system collapse in few days is unimaginable.

I have seen too many nk documentaries, I can say that it applies 100% to Syria, with many many more complexities in the region.

Happy to give proof to mods.

But unlike stock buying, shorting can cause huge damage more the the starting value.

If you short a stock at 100, and it reaches 10, you pay back at 10 and get to keep the remaining 90.

If, however, that stock reaches 300, you have to pay the extra 200 from your pocket.

So shorting is much bigger risk than investing directly in stocks.

This is so sad news. I just finished his book about the dependable systems in security engineering.

Wendover production is a good quality channel that I always recommend. That being said, their explinations of the problems at hand are always too simplified and limited. Yes the topic is much more complex, but by the end of the video you will end up with some idea about the topic. It is a way to fill some curiosity and satisfy clicks. It can not be taken as any source of knowledge or 101 introduction into topics.

I can agree with that. But still, an experienced user will skip the ads posts and will smell them from far away.

Sure, you can obfuscate all you want. But my point still stands valid.

Earning a living from ads for these types of people.is not sustainable. They will have adblocker installed, so you are also wasting respurces with no income.

RSS or newsletter or whatever scrapper, it's there today already.

Have you used any modern RSS reader recently like inoreader, they load the content of the page without visiting the publishing website. So still, no ads.
