Name a big, reputable brokerage that did this.

by pfisch 6y ago
Yeah....except all the more legitimate brokerages didn't limit anything. TD Ameritrade made me place limit orders, but that is not even close to the same thing. Fidelity was unaffected.

As long as there has been democracy corporations have had oversight over controlling mass communications. What is happening now is not new or different. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/time-private-us-media...

It is a pain, but ultimately the users suffer. Dev time goes to this nonsense, and it also forces the game to literally run slower, especially for server side validating things like inventory. No one should be releasing tools for the expres

It really depends on the game and to what degree it is secured. In a lot of games adding additional server side security checks means slowing the game down and making it a worse experience for the real users.(As in having to put up loading

A lot of the cheaters I have dealt with just distribute hacked apks for free. They make them with programs like this. It forces us to make changes to the games that make them less performant, or with a bunch of delays for server checks. Tha

Please stop. Your fun little project is going to be used primarily to ruin other people's fun, and make life hard for game devs. Do you even think about what you are making and what it will be used for?

I honestly think you'd have a hard time finding any politician that made more than trump from his office. Mar a lago was literally a place to go pay 200k so you could lobby trump. His re-election campaign ran out of money! How could th

When they stopped filming people streaking on sports fields it stopped happening. When school shooters get tons of media coverage school shootings go up. Same with suicides. People don't like to think that censorship works, but the tru

So we should be referring everyone making idle threats on the internet to law enforcement? That seems unrealistic and honestly way more totalitarian than just moderation and censorship. I also don't think law enforcement has the bandwi

I think widespread suppression of information about this planned protest would've mattered, but I don't think it was justified before the events at the capitol. Now I think it is a clear and easily foreseeable risk to allow this t

And then what? Get sued into the ground by the family of the slain capitol cop, and the subsequent people that are killed by the "patriots" openly plotting violence on parler?

I mean you can't run a site with no censorship where people are openly plotting the violent takeover of the us government and/or violent events. It is just a liability issue. This isn't some kind of censorship issue, that jus

I think you could contort logic to make any creation "bad" for some subset of people. Is any videogame a bad thing to make? What about movies that arguably can inspire mass shooters or other negative events to occur. Can the creat

I don't know why you're getting downvoted. It is deeply concerning that there isn't a general consensus that you are correct. It makes me think the great filter theory is true and we are going to destroy ourselves because a v

I feel like what is ignored in these conversations is that the vast majority of users just play this game as an entertaining piece of art. ~1% of problem users get addicted to games, whether they are FarmVille or smash brothers. That is jus

I agree, this doesn't make sense to me unless this person is not good at business. I mean, why not at least try to sell it to parler.

This is completely absurd. There has been no time in the entire history of the US that our "democratic systems were transparent, verifiable and understandable" in the face of a president and an army of his minions spreading lies

The entire case that the supreme court just rejected for PA was about that. This isn't claiming fraud. This is trying to find a technicality to use to invalidate millions of legitimate votes. https://www.npr.org/2020&#x

In Georgia the machine prints out a paper ballot that you hand in. Yet somehow that is one of the states being accused of widespread fraud...? Only the swing states that Trump lost are being accused of fraud, but only in the presidential el

Yeah, "market forces". Because they don't all just charge $125 right now per flight and not give a fuck.

All airlines as far as I'm aware do charge around $125 per flight. Distance doesn't matter. I think it is reasonable to charge more for larger animals. If your dog takes up a seat then a ticket price is a fair price. If you have a

I love all the downvotes with no explanation about how this is a defensible practice in any way. I could understand if airlines kept a blacklist for people who have animals out of control, but they don't even do that right now with the

by pfisch 6y ago
It is abusive for airlines to charge $250 per roundtrip for a ~10 lb carryon that fits under your seat. They are operating a scam. This was the only way around it.

Unverified information about a government's actions.* Not saying that is the case here, but the truth is this cuts both ways, and I would say this development of free flying unverified information is overall more helpful to bad actors
