Wait, didn't Holmes try that tactic too?

by jowea 3y ago
Holmes' machine got used by consumers, although she was found not guilty on the charges related to that. And didn't FTX/Alameda ever lie to investors to convince them to invest? Like telling them they're separate? I&#x27

There's a bit of a difference in that C has ways to closely integrate assembly as needed. Most languages don't.

I'll be honest, I've been tempted by this idea before. But it really feels like "engineers navel-gaze solutions to social problems". At the bare least, there are valid reasons to vote for someone beyond what they say on

I understand the concern, but why we act like this sort of stuff isn't just at the worst case a strongly worded letter just everyone knows an UN General Assembly resolution is? What can the IGF or the ITO actually do?

The already limited authority of the UNSC is almost meaningless without the consensus of the great powers. An UNSC with only (pro-)Western powers sanctioned US intervention in the Korean War, did it make any difference beyond the use of the

It would have to the banks themselves banning their customers, right?

Yes you can. This is just steamdb processing data that is already public.

Is sideloading annoyting enough that Google doing this would risk their quasi-monopoly on long general video on demand?

If the EU worked like a normal parliamentary government then parliament would have the right to initiate legislation. And it would be able to nominate whoever it wished for president of the commission as long as there was a parliamentary ma

That may be a bit simplistic since the article does mentions other possible explanations for the better results beyond the fact that essentially all students are above an economic floor. And I didn't get it from the article, but are th
