Wait wait wasn't it wholly on Trump's payroll as the dems say?

Why is there no European alternative to Apple app store? It's rather strange to me.

This is good. But because societies are democratic, and most voters are now economically irrelevant, something has to be done about possibility to create discontent simply to shake things and weaken countries - because there is nothing this

So now they will run waves through the property market by recommending people to buy, then to sell, in 3-6 month intervals, skimming off the market each time?

When the answer is not general but particular - "better" or "worse" can be about many things including entirely non-quantifiable and subjective ones like "moral virtue" - but when it's about economy, it&#x

Y Combinator founders, and proper startup founders in general are not outsiders. They aren't, and never been, Upwork customers, and in fact every sane VC will reject a startup that uses any sort of outsourcing to build their offering,

I'm within top 40 Upwork freelancers by lifetime revenue and at one point was #11. Directly and indirectly extracted around $15M there. It's dead. Noting to look at. It's not AI or interest rates, as it seems, the very dream

The only thing that can objectively reduce waste is well, simplifying access to people's data/surveillance capitalism. This way corps will have a better idea of what people want to wear and at which price they are willing to buy i

This text looks like it was written by AI. But i have every reason to believe that it wasn't. Is it just me, or many people got into habit of writing in "ChatGPT-style" simply because talking to ChatGPT is how they spend most

Because they only got there first time around because of Kennedy's promise after he was shot. It didn't take a moon landing to win the Space Race - by that point Soviets already exhausted their potential gained by surprise and tro

People there are tech savvy, trying to push them into government-sponsored spyware will backfire, as they just won't be using "normal" internet at all soon. Phones are sold with VPNs preinstalled so all apps work even for gra

Fun observation! A similar thing existed in Soviet movies: villains usually spoke with Ukrainian accent.

Are these for the purpose of selling to non-Brits right? "Being British is supposed to be classy and surely not associated with Trump as much as being an American"? That might work, but not for selling to Brits because they expect

Good days of gambling are long since over. There was a lot of easy money to make there from ~2000 (when online gambling properly became a thing - i only heard about it, i joined in 2004 myself) through ~2012 (on a massive scale) and in some

Well, it's only those who were caught. I think it's not as much about age but simply because markets for most things have matured and you almost can't get ahead without scamming someone - and it gives small businesses a lever

That's incredible! Smoking is the hardest one of them. Mainly because smokers tend to be skinny, as cigs kill your appetite (unlike alcoholics who tend to be fat) and all GLP-1 effects go together with the weight loss. Congrats. Smokin

Well, i don't get what the debate is even for? AI is bad? true. Can we get around it? No. No amount of hand-waving is going to un-invent it.

I don't agree about containers, they are a really handy tool to produce stable(-ish) deployments. Blockchain is probably the best single tool to do what software was designed to do since invented as a separate industry - scam people ou

Well, in a nutshell that is undeniable. Pensioners don't work. Other people fund them. No matter how it is calculated - whether through ownership of assets, direct government obligation, or otherwise - that product consumed by pensione

All ads are scams. That's life. Only children and the elderly click on them anyway, and they are optimised to be clicked on by those since otherwise it just doesn't work at all. More to that - many of the ads today aren't eve

Question is - why would anyone with cash immigrate to US? Doing business there does not require citizenship. What is it more than doing business that attracts people if one has a citizenship of just about any first world country? I mean, Am
