I agree with you, but also sympathize with the technical issues of moderating encrypted information. Thinking a bit about it, there would need to be a global man in the middle or a requirement for all applications to decrypt/re-encryp

They are certainly already on Signal, but Signal has end-to-end encryption so cannot supply information other than meta information to authorities.

The agency which made the ruling is called the Ireland’s Workplace Relations Commission. While I assume they do not make decisions for the European Union , I could be wrong.

I'm describing an economic calculation. The political decision is irrelevant and simply a cost of doing business. The higher the total cost of employees in a country without an offsetting benefit, the more likely companies will be to

Crass as your point is and it may be true, each time they fine companies it raises the cost of operation and changes the nature of the decision.

Breaking the law isn't a meaningful part of the economic argument. X can hire employees in any country in the world. Ireland is proving itself to be more costly than a competing country and thereby pushing employment away.

Consider that the commission is also pushing US companies to avoid Ireland.

Indentured servants are not paid for their labor. Americans are paid. The contract is between two parties until a new contract is proposed. If a party declines the new terms (by not clicking) then the past contract becomes void.

Coincidentally, inflation (effectively a hidden tax) is also a way for governments to ignore democratic society and divert wealth into pet projects such as unpopular global wars. There is a reason war bonds aren't sold any more to fund

Do you have any links that support these statements? Surely, some areas are contaminated, but claiming that urban land is "likely poisoned" and passes it on seems suspicious.

How are they not then incentivized to build even more coal plants than they need to get free investment?

You could have them every hour and would still have to choose between two candidates that nobody wants. There is a lot more to fix.

Looks like the groundwork is being laid to dispute the results of the upcoming US presidential election if the wrong person gets elected.

I checked 2 states, CA and NJ just require a bachelor's with a 3.0 GPA. Where are you getting the idea that most require advance degrees?

I never stated such a thing, nor mentioned magic. The discussion is around statistics and averages and I was writing generally. It's disingenuous to assume the same thing applies in absolute terms.

Pretty sure every teacher would simply move to wealthy area where they didn't have to teach anything and they would still get amazing successful students.

Government employees (teachers) get pensions after a certain period so it's not a good comparison as they make far more money in the long run.

Or, just like tradfi, point out the mistake to the counterparty. Request your crypto back and the transaction is reversed.

by psychlops 2y ago
Of the many crypto problems I can think of, reversible transactions seems low on the list. Tradfi "works" because there is no other choice given so people make it functional and it is comfortable through familiarity. People conve

As trusting as the traditional finance system is, it seems they still experience exit scams, wire typos, and countless other scams that lose savings. Crypto has a long way to go, but tradfi hasn't solved its own problems. Until then,
