Finalizing and actually finalized are very different things in ICANN land. If they ever do try to implement this policy its likely to end up in court for years. I can't see Afilias just rolling over when .io ( https://en.wiki

I've now seen this story reported is so many places. My wife says she's also seen it on her social media. So either the entire world suddenly cares about knock off handbags or someone is spending a lot on PR. Is Hermes behind thi

Netflix's biggest problem is their extremely poor AI. They might have some excellent shows and series but if its hard to find no one ever sees it. Instead they end up getting rated on drivel like "The Woman in the House Across the

I suspect this was really driven by one Steve Kirsch ( https://www.technologyreview.com/2021/10/05/1036408/silicon-... ) No idea if he's just a rich nutter or if he's hoping he can profit by bein

The disinvestment campaign did very little except transfer ownership of some of the largest companies in the country to South Africans and I would assume the bulk of that would have ended up in the hands of the politically connected. Sancti

My guess is that the listener numbers for Rogan have gone through the roof because of this and the vast vast majority of paying Spotify customers don't care. I'm don't like Rogan but I have no intention of cancelling my paid

It very much depends on which country you are in. So for North America or anywhere with a high iphone usage it makes sense and the small amount extra for the iPad is completely justifiable, but I think in other countries it ends up coming

If you end up stealing from the mob or well known exchanges it's a problem but for everyone else does it really make any difference? How do they prove they were the previous owner and that it wasn't a legit transaction?

In my country at least people were paying a LOT of money for Ivermectin. Someone was definitely making a mint. Just a reminder that while snake oil was a "patent medicine" there were never any actual patents involved.

Its not that simple. To make it as a one percenter here in South Africa you have to take home a little over $40k a year. The CEO's of most of the smaller tech firms probably take home less than the starting salary of a US FAANG develo
