This is all making me wonder if email should have been more like some modern messaging systems with friend requests that aren't transferable from one person to another (i.e. a friend can't tell someone else your handle and let som

Even in the US, AFAIK the reason these securities regulations exist is that companies did not disclose information before they were forced through. An efficient theoretical free market requires public information, the SEC exists to enforce

For the sake of Poe's law, is this sarcasm? I genuinely don't know, none of those things brought down humankind or anything but you could write a library about the issues with these.

You can't really haggle with a computer system can you? And even if we'd accept that as haggling the company has way more power in the transaction. This just seems allowing the company to capture ever more of the consumer surplus.

For North Korea sure quite believable. Some links existing also sound likely for the Russian gangs.

I wonder why they don't make into a recurring payment instead of a one time deal. Turn it into an iterated game theory game.

Google really should have thought of the potential uses of a media empire years ago.

Internet fora don't scale, so the single core is a soft limit to user base growth. Only those who really care will put up with the reduced performance. Genius!

Why would they be afraid of retaliation? They didn't sign sports contracts, they can just resign anytime, no? That just seems to overcomplicate things.

I know you meant Thatcher's economics but it's ironic to bring it up about an Argentinian president hah.

I wonder if dollarization will be an improvement just from the less bureaucracy and need to get around the government to do things as they are already done.

Sure but even then, what goes in the head of someone voting for the "take a wrecking ball to the establishment" candidate and then votes for a traditional party candidate for parliament? Why can't those populists point out th

> What exactly is left to wreck? Wikipedia says Argentina is currently 47th on the HDI scale and 66th on the GDP (PPP) Per Capita. Failed currency or not it can get a lot worse. Not saying it will or will not, just that objectively Argen

Of course a government needs to run its ads/PSAs where its people actually are, even if they are trying to promote alternatives.

Free Software as a political movement maybe is somewhat anti-capitalist, wanting useful software to be shared and companies to have less control in practice. Open Source however is like Free Software but made appealing to self-interested co
