At this point we need to acknowledge that there will be no "overcoming" it and it will be endemic, like the flu.

Looks like a scam. Flagged. ToS do not have any information on the owner of this site and appear to be a cut/paste job with a search/replace for the name of the "company."

The underlying question I ask is who set the precedent? Why was the system designed to allow this to happen?

Every single job I've had in my adult life (I'm 42 years old now) was because I knew someone. It pays to know people and make friends/connections. I got started with an unpaid internship in high school (every school should re

The problem was that everyone was in on it. I spoke to quite a few people in that time period, from mortgage brokers to borrowers to bankers. They all knew what was happening. A friend tried to sell me on getting a NINJA loan (No Income, No

Although there is a "social security trust fund," it's an accounting fiction. Functionally the money you contribute goes to the general US treasury fund and payments to beneficiaries come from the general US treasury fund. It

I recently drove past the Austin construction site. It's so incredibly huge. And they keep buying the surrounding land. It's really impressive to see in person.

Just look at the tether terms of service. A whole section on your representations and warranties as user. The reps and warranties that tether makes? "Tether makes no representations, warranties, or guarantees to you of any kind."

An interesting primer on Tether, and whether it is a scam: https://www.zerohedge.com/crypto/what-effect-would-tether-be... (Yes, I know it's zerohedge, but this is a decent article) Tether usually has 2-3x the vol

I had no idea that such good photos of exoplanets are available. I remember a few years ago just being blurry blobs. It's amazing to me that we can see the star and the planetary disk.

Yup, as soon as one exception is allowed, everyone will jump on the bandwagon and demand their slice of the pie. They already got the "sex trafficking" exception, and of course new exceptions are being thrown out there.

The guy's been dead for 62 years with no heirs. Now someone wants to cash in. This is where the original intent of copyright comes in... "to promote the arts and sciences." Well, since the guy who created the photos isn'

Don't go with namecheap, the biggest hive of scammers and spammers on the planet. Move your private domain to a reputable provider, like Fastmail. I've had my main personal domain with them for a decade and never had a problem.

Just abolish the income tax. All it does, and will do, is justify the further growth of the surveillance state.

99% of the phishing domains that target my company's site come from Namecheap. I don't know why they can't get their act together when it comes to fraudulent domain registration.

I've found ad blockers to be the best malware defense for my older relatives. Specifically ublock origin and nextdns. After installing those, virus/malware infections have dropped to pretty much zero.

The war on drugs is the single government program that has created far more damage to individual rights than any other. In law school it seems like every case that whittles away the fourth amendment just a little bit more is a drug case. I&
