Are you kidding? The “sales tax loophole” just supports my point, if it was just smaller businesses they would’ve gone on forever.

Nothing in my comment has anything to do with “cyber threat intelligence”. Did you reply to the wrong comment?

Without mens rea this is not a crime in (almost?) any jurisdiction, doesn’t matter if you’re Amazon. No matter what kind of weird games you choose to play, there’s no way amazon has a guilty mind here.

How? Should we ban Amazon and Ebay?

Selling goods is a legitimate business activity.

OTOH my friend has spent the past 5 or so years earning high six figures hunting good deals from big retailers and reselling on Amazon. I’m sure he’s only one of many. There’s nothing Amazon can do without banning such sellers.

Amazon should not try to do anything about this, because there is nothing Amazon can do about this. Amazon should not be required to do anything about this, that’s why we pay cops.

Why? CC processors are not in cahoots with the cops.

Ah, you’re right. My mistake was thinking that the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland was selected locally in NI, but he is in fact a crown minister in Westminster.

No, I did not accuse anyone of any fallacy. You should learn to read and understand English before making yourself look like a complete idiot by autistically screeching about fallacies. I’ll hold your hand: Not all slippery slopes are falla

Somehow I don’t recall using the word “fallacy” at all.

This is complete nonsense. In the past it was normal to have that extra weight in your car and no seat heater button because you didn’t pay for it.

Turning up MAX_TORQUE_ALLOWED will almost always increase failure rates. Selling a warrantied MAX_TORQUE_ALLOWED increase makes perfect sense. Of course, it’s tough for us to know without getting someone to leak internal numbers.

“Slippery slope” is generally a poor argument, especially without strong evidence regarding it’s existence. If they fuck this up and piss off their customers, that’ll just mean that BMW or VAG will take the sales instead.

I own a bunch of AMGs and this seems fairly reasonable to me. It’s always trivial to squeeze more power out of these cars with software modifications. The cars do not come out of the factory like that because of reliability concerns. To me

Yeah, the point isn’t that they must have referendums every 7 years. It’s just that they can, provided they feel like it.

I doubt there’d be too many people in Westminster willing to repeat the Troubles with a similar level of entusiasm.

They have it because IRA was willing to kill a lot of people to get it. This is a part of the so-called Good Friday Agreement which was signed in 1998 after Northern Irish nationalists fought a 30 year war against the British state with an

They had one 8 years ago and the situation changed drastically since then. Northern Ireland for example gets to hold independence referendums every 7 years, so there hardly exists any real argument against holding another one… Besides the f
