That wouldn't explain the price here, since in your scam the whole idea is to buy cheap and donate dear. not buy for 139M

> prior commitments like the Paris accord were engineered to harm us while allowing China to dominate Who engineered them to harm us? You’re saying there’s a powerful pro-China cabal that designed the Paris accords on purpose to harm us

it's not a question of "offloading" it, it's a question of reaping the benefits of global competition Would you really be better off if you could only buy cars made by US manufacturers? Did americans really lose out when

I don’t think that’s what we were talking about here - it was using AI to replace graphic designers at startups

Is it the same if it’s a human doing the learning? If I spend my youth looking at art, I’d any work I then do “theft”?

Even the cars are massive. A Toyota Camry is nothing special in the US, here it’s a big long car And the Lexus SUV range stops at the RX in Europe, with 3 smaller SUVs under that

The vast majority of of Fords you see in Europe are designed in Koln at Ford Europe GMBH. I believe there are less than 5 models that are sold in both markets

I think the problem here is "you can afford" vs "you can pay for" if you're willing to spend the time and effort doing interest rate arbitrage for a few hundred dollars, maybe you can pay for a certain car, but i&#x

Is the negotiation of these loans separate from the negotiation of the car price? If not I suspect the margin is just being shifted to the asset price

by namdnay 1y ago
I think as a proportion of the total amount loaned, the people using car loans to bu 10-15k used Toyotas because they have to is quite low :(

> It doesn’t make sense to not get a car you can afford for 0% interest. The loan might be 0% interest, but you're still using that loan to pay way too much money for a depreciating asset.

I remember a big commercial SCM at the time that had this as an option, when you wanted to make sure you wouldn’t need to merge. Can’t remember what it was called, you could “sync to file system” a bit like dropbox and it required teams of

In many countries pensions are indexed on inflation… so there is no natural erosion unfortunately

by namdnay 1y ago
A real balancing would entail cutting pensions for existing pensioners. Which is electoral suicide. So what you always end up doing is shafting future pensioners, either by pushing back the retirement age, or by doing nothing and waiting fo

The boomers definitely weren’t the first getting in, the original pensions were paid to their own parents It’s not really a Ponzi scheme, it is completely possible for the system to be balanced, it’s just very very hard to get people to vot

They are actually distributing a rebuilt client binary, complete with the Meta branding. That’s a clear breach of both the licensing of the software (I’m pretty sure it’s not open source) as well as the trademarks of Meta It’s not the same

However bad their Signal fork was, at least it was legal. What's crazy is that this very company was also selling a cracked WhatsApp, which is a whole different kettle of fish... and people were buying it! real corporations and governm

yes, that's why TeleMessage managed to sell such a hacky solution - there was a clear desire for that product
55.
by namdnay 1y ago
The clean way to do it (which is how Telemessage’s competitors do it) is to use WhatsApp business APIs with dedicated phone numbers.

You’re right for Signal! Their WhatsApp client, however… that’s definitely “cracked”

Sorry yes I meant for personal devices. These are designed to be deployed under MDM on corporate devices edit: found their install doc! https://smarsh.my.salesforce.com/sfc/p/#30000001FgxH/a/Pb000...

It's not really a knockoff, it's a deliberately cracked version of a B2C app to adapt it to a corporate setting

The scariest part? They also sell to corporations... Read their install guide and weep at the idea of pushing cracked WhatsApp binaires through MDM https://smarsh.my.salesforce.com/sfc/p/#30000001FgxH/a/P

It definitely doesn't resolve the trust issue! I would trust MSFT a million times more than these cowboys. What it does give you is peace with your traders (who can be real divas..) - they can keep using "WhatsApp" and "
