And the 3rd party would sell it to GoDaddy themselves? They were offering me to buy the domain from themselves, they didn't just say it wasn't available.

I'll never use GoDaddy. They've been fronting their customers for literally decades. Few times I searched for a domain, the next day I search for it find it already reserved by them and on sale for hundreds of dollars instead of t

Because Google does something, doesn't mean it's a good thing to do for anyone else. This kind of infrastructure is very expensive to maintain, and suffers from many flaws like -almost- everyone being stuck using SDKs that are sev

> People WANT more expensive cars. Because it's very easy to get financing for a car, that's why. If they had to pay it out of pocket you bet they'd choose the cheaper car.

Meanwhile, LinkedIn keeps showing me the exact same ad for a reddit position over and over, even tho I've applied and didn't hear anything since December.

Same goes for Tor. If you're one of 3 using Tor in your entire city, it won't be difficult to target you. This kind of stuff only works well when its used en mass, making the government have too many targets to bother.

No. SQL lends itself to write-only code. Even if it starts with good intentions, over time almost always things get out of hand.

I chose a charity but then barely ever donated anything because I would always forget to type the smile in the URL. It was a blatant technique to discourage donations.

Right, but I assure you most of them do not consider themselves "white" by any stretch of the imagination. The term "white" has deviated so much from Caucasian/fair-skinned and became a mostly political term in the

Yup, and then there's roughly the 300 million Arabs who live in North Africa who aren't covered by any of these.

Sorry, I confused that with the race section, which also is confusing (it only has Hispanic/Non-Hispanic options).

Yup, but still it doesn't cover many millions of US citizens. e.g Sikh, Middle Eastern, African Africans etc (not that there can ever be a list that covers such a diverse country).

On the 4473 form for background check in the US, the valid races are "White, African American, Asian, Hispanic". No other options, and no option to not specify. The fun part is, you can select ALL of them, not just one, and MANY p

US sanctions apply to any entity doing business with the US. If a company chooses to violate them, they lose the US market and can get penalized in other ways too by getting their US assets seized.

How many do you think were caught vs how many were successful? The masterminds back in Moscow don't care if one shipment gets caught when 10 more made it through.

Rules are made to cause trouble for the average law-abiding citizen, but have almost no effect on actual criminals. e.g when you buy an AR magazine online (just a piece of cheap plastic and a single spring all there is) it says very clearly
