Of course they do. On one hand Twitter was known to have FBI and CIA working inside them. But here's Israel explaining[0] their troll army operations explicitly (see former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett directing the organization at 3

"Only if"..well yea. And why wouldn't it? I don't know what you're basing your thesis on, it is very common to have currency moves in either direction that massively exceed the differential in US vs Euro rates. Maki

Yes, that's what I would suggest and do myself if I was European, not buy US treasuries.

by PKop 3y ago
Yes definitely, I didn't mean to imply therefore US stocks are the better choice, only that US fixed income isn't some straightforward escape hatch for Europeans.

For people who conduct their transactions in $'s, sure. But Europeans buying US Treasuries would be subject to currency risk, which could easily wipe out that 5% APR

They probably should do this, but if they have enough applicants for the job, this sort of "difficulty" itself is probably a useful filter to weed out those who can't put up with the pain. That it is unpleasant for the potent

Ok, I'm sorry dang, you're right. Thanks for the warning. We need your type of work ethic and desire to maintain a healthy community, along with discipline to be a stickler for enforcement of law and order in public office in some

Because normal funcitoning people want to conduct commerce and experience a crime free life visiting these corporations, or any other place, within the cities that they live. We should put criminals in jail and mercilessly shame and make fu

We shouldn't have to live like this. We need a Lee Kuan Yew or Bukele type of leader to step up in these cities and say enough . This passive acceptance of crime and disorder under some misguided sense of compassion or that putting c

Film and TV is a multi billion dollar industry that produces, whether purposeful or not, whether with nefarious intentions or not, mass media propaganda, memes and narratives that millions of people around the world consume, and which then

Using popularity as an argument for the quality of content isn't so useful. Quantity is often antithetical to quality. Look at YouTube front page when signed out, most of it is garbage.

by PKop 4y ago
This will never happen, and is an absurd cope for people that just want their fix and to be addicts without feeling bad.

There's perhaps an interesting 3rd option aside from full stored procedures vs pure application code transformating data pulled down from database... where the processing and transformation is still handled with SQL, but this code and

Of course this is true. There is no free lunch. Seems akin to search engines having more difficulty over time as spam increases. It's like the entropy / waste-product of algorithmic content production and ingestion, that the landf

It's absurd that you blame this on "white supremacists". This entire ethos is the egalitarian morality whereby they cannot have differentiated learning or high standards that expose differences in outcomes by racial group. Th
