PTSD is a serious medical condition. It's not merely a feeling of "stress."

Yes. Not all registrars are equally well run, but google accounts get closed for unclear reasons with no appeals all the time.

Sounds awfully conspiratorial. What would the motive be?
814.
by eli 4y ago
That's probably true, but so is what's written in the article. A much bigger factor in the lab leak theory is that it played into various conspiracy theories and, for some people, was convenient politically. It's much easier

What would happen when you click a link to a site that doesn't support that?

My ISP reserves the right to sell data on the sites I visit. If the VPN provider promises not to do that, it’s probably a win.

why not just use a session token at that point?

It's linked from the article. Archer Aviation, Joby Aviation, Lilium, Vertical Aerospace are some. > Hundreds of companies, new ones and legacy aviation players alike, are working on such vehicles—also called air taxis or eVTOLs (s

I can only speak to the reMarkable. I like it, but it's definitely a note taking device that also has some basic support for reading documents. As an e-reader it's not anywhere close to a Kindle.

I can't prove it, but my theory for one of the images I got bitten for is that either the photographer or a coconspirator posted the photo to WikiCommons as CC licensed, then later the photographer sends a takedown saying it was posted
823.
by eli 4y ago
Sure. But this actually happened. I've been twice bitten by using images that claimed to be CC and then an apparent copyright owner appeared and said otherwise. I've never had that happen with open source software. I think copyrig

Unfortunately you can't really be sure that an image with metadata claiming it is CC licensed is actually CC licensed or that the website offering it has the permission of the author. I have been burned by this.

What if you tax them based on the ratio of greenhouse gas to utility of the product? So still ban bitcoin in other words, but let people hear their homes.

I mean normally anyone can pay to extend a domain registration so it’s not that crazy a question.

Firing a customer isn’t an “attack” and yes I believe businesses should be allowed to fire customers.

Bad marketing is bad. Good marketing you don't even necessarily perceive as marketing. This website is marketing for Y Combinator.

Agreed. Especially given the wide range of sales and income tax rates.

by eli 4y ago
Income tax is progressive; sales tax is regressive.

Why not let me just import any random skin for a fee? If I'm making money on the import fees, why would I limit myself to just skins that a user has already previously purchased somewhere else?

Why would other games want to allow Fortnite skins in their game? If their players are willing to spend money on skins wouldn't they be better off just selling skins? Nevermind the technical and practical concerns. What does it even me
837.
by eli 4y ago
My question is: is this even a problem worth trying to solve? How much more will customers pay for a skin that works in multiple games (assuming that's possible)?
838.
by eli 4y ago
But specifically paying a premium for skins that somehow transfer from game to game? This business model has some serious problems if the skins don't cost much more than the ones currently offered in one game.

But blockchain only has "cultural momentum" because of the lure of profits. Is there an example of a popular blockchain project that isn't based on "early buys can get rich by selling to latecomers"? I guess the arg

> A metaverse where these skins are transportable game to game. I question how desirable that even is. So like some rich kid buys a golden suit and can wear it in a bunch of games...I mean, sure, ok? Not really groundbreaking stuff. Wo
