This is the answer. They thought they could get away with it. And from what I understand, they nearly did, because the original victim couldn't afford the risk of a lengthy and expensive lawsuit.

But you're not. The head of corporate is someone who thought he could get away with this. And almost did, until Reckless Ben showed up.

Do they have any evidence of those claims? So far, all evidence seems to be against them.

The original franchisee claims to have lost their life savings in that move. I have no idea how exactly that happened. Their story really sounds like something from Russia back when western investors had their company simply taken from them

I saw an analysis from a lawyer who said that there are situations where a creditor can claim consignment items, but that it didn't apply here.

If you have no shelf space, of course you can refuse the consignment. And this was a really big one, but the shop was initially very happy with it. Advertised widely with it. Brought in more shelves to display it all. From what I understand

Corporate is lying a lot, and is pretty clearly guilty of theft at the very least. The bigger problems I see here are: 1. You can't really sure large corporations like Bricks & Minifigs. They've got deeper pockets and can drag

And that is a serious problem. That means those people are easy to mislead, and can be made to believe anything if you just put it in an AI video. I've seen people get upset or feel touched by what to me were blatantly obvious AI gener

I would support a law that requires all AI generated content to be tagged, labeled, or watermarked as AI.

by mcv 5mo ago
Yeah, just let me hide all the AI content. Far too often I stumble onto something that looks interesting, and halfway through I realise it's not really saying anything. It's just AI drivel designed to capture my attention and hold

I guess people want to prove they were authentically there, experiencing it themselves instead of watching it on TV. And I sort of get it. When I'm on vacation, I like making my own photos of everything, even if professional photograph

And of course you do all of this for every object in your training set, which is going to be larger than the total number of uses for any individual user.

Letting AI answer a personal question for you feels deeply disrespectful to the person asking the question, but also to yourself; you're signalling you don't know anything. If I wanted an AI answer, I could ask it myself. I'm

I'm an oversharer, so I'm absolutely vulnerable to that trap. It's important to remind ourselves not to fall for it.

Yeah, but this time the coalition negotiations were rather dirty. The largest party and therefore most likely prime minister was the most progressive of the centrist parties (D66) and would normally want to work with the moderate left-wing

Except for the military. I once interviewed for a job at what I think was a civil service branch that developed software for the military. But they were out of budget for this, while the military did have budget, so if I was hired, I'd

There are certainly countries that have it worse, but Netherland has some weird political games being played sometimes.

How can you be sure that Solvinity can't access the data if Logius doesn't know how the current stack works? 5+ years to migrate sounds really bad.

Finally! The entire country has been clamouring for this for weeks, and the government has been completely silent about it. A couple of weeks ago, the entire parliament (with only a single party dissenting) voted for a motion to end the con

People not only built a functional computer in Minecraft, people have run Minecraft on that functional computer in Minecraft. Extremely slowly, obviously, but it did technically work.

Sorry, why would society owe their children? Where does this obligation come from? You're making a leap here that doesn't make sense. Also, it's not sharing with society that makes people billionaires, it's taking from s

Wero doesn't support contactless because it's a different use case. Contactless is only for in-person payments. Wero is for internet payments. QR codes can be used for either, but I mostly see them in internet payments. When I buy
265.
by mcv 5mo ago
I still don't think contactless works across the internet.
266.
by mcv 5mo ago
QR codes aren't a replacement for contactless. Contactless will stay, although unfortunately Dutch banks have recently discontinued their own contactless payment system and moved to Google Pay, which was a terrible decision.

> Wero also does peer-to-peer transfers which iDeal doesn't Directly, without Tikkie? That's really interesting. I wasn't aware of that yet. My impression was indeed mostly a rebranding and expansion of iDeal.
268.
by mcv 5mo ago
iDeal supports scanning of QR codes, so I assume Wero does too.
269.
by mcv 5mo ago
That's what you use contactless for. Different systems have different purposes. Although people have also been known to use Tikkie or other payment request systems for in-person payments. Backed by iDeal, or now Wero.

It works over the internet.
