Yes it still 270k , that's a lot of lawyer hours and they might become open to the same penalties in other jurisdictions. If you calculate times 100nations and an increased volume plus the PR hit, it's best to delegate to legal.

Kind of, the good thing is, if the user used chrome(good chance), the billing just goes to a different department.

I am totally against all things Bitcoin, however, it's not coined exclusive in the us and the constitution is not immutable, else it would be a very bad document that can't get with the times.

Anything in the constitution is not canonical forever.

Let's see.

Prosperity, low-interest rates, wider mortgage product offerings, and easy to access credit cause pricing bubbles.

Now, forces that make a housing bubble pop include a downturn in the economy, a rise in interest rates, as well as a drop in demand.

We've had all that and credit is getting more expensive.

Theres only so many people who can live somewhere or buy to rent scheme spaces, developers building as much and fast they can and you can't renew all the older buildings.

In the end, follow the money, all the stake holders and you'll find it is always universal greed at the root.

I am not so sure that building houses for non business purposes should be handled so liberally.

Is leaving the country an option?

And what do you mean no end in sight? Child alimentation stops at certain places after some age threshold is reached, certainly there must be a limit.

If your salary is 80gross or net and you pay half , do the math what you'd get in another country and leave if it makes sense.

If you make much more than that, I would suck it up.

This is the same company people are supposed to trust with FSD?

Good luck with that.

Indeed looks like they're after some organic traffic.

Similar shenanigans with other freemium products, where the bare minimum is free, but makes you dependent on shopping for the costly features.

It's extremely hard. To compare pricing, especially with concurrent users etc. I have to say, adobe is one of the most transparent in that regard, it's very clear what you will get.

I have seen this often recently, sass providers claiming they are open source because they have free trials, can be rented or worst, because they have an API.

Nope , nothing such like.

Only happens on HN, I faintly remember it might have happened on Reddit once, but here, it's consistent and reproducible.

I am a fierce anti conspiracy person, but this covid situation is having me thinking.

They say natural resistance is better or equal than from the vaccine, everyone apart from anti vaxxers like Djokovic has had a shot or two or three, there's no herd immunity or herd protection

Can someone explain the math to me?

Also people said the regular flu does not exist anymore, give or take, because everyone is wearing masks. Nothing could be further from the truth, full family had flu twice now, me three times(never had that before in my.life, once a year max was normal) and I see the regular flu wave still existing. I haven't had covid that I know of, did tests and am vaccinated.

I have worked/imterned on a pig farm once.

The pigs realize more than you'd think, their moms know when you're about to castrate the babies and they remember it, too.

When the slaughterhouse van comes along, they can feel something is wrong, this is, before the van is even visible. They might remember other pigs not coming back from the ride or something, but to kill another animal to save the human animal is not very nice.

This is baffling, if it's still for sale, then the project has not really started, or is not at the promised stage.

For a good laugh on this matter, I recommend reading this.

The level of incompetency and ironical jokes is overwhelming.

It's crazy how Airbnb, amazon and this company don't care if the card holder and the user account holder are the same.

I work in finance and this is often a total no go in many industries , even with consent of the card holder.

But going strict on this will cause friction I suppose, just like CVV codes aren't mandatory on transactions, so some companies leave them out of the payment process. It only helps a bit during a charge back defense to have CVV and 2fa enabled.

I have read about other dodgy things that Upwork has done before, nasty bunch.

Predictably, this outcry will make them "rethink" their position on this one case and they will "apologize" and most likely not update the KYC checks and carry on as usual.

I get, on Android mobile in chrome : First Contentful Paint (FCP) 2.1 seconds, it's ok scores 99 points.

For the medium url I get

First Contentful Paint 3.1 s Time to Interactive 18.5 s Speed Index 9.7 s Total Blocking Time 6,160 ms

Horrible.

Reduce unused JavaScript and defer loading scripts until they are required to decrease bytes consumed by network activity.

Even main.js is guilty.

1.9s there.

Serve images in next-gen formats 1.8 s

And very interesting, why does the following happen.

Avoid multiple page redirects 1.56 s

Reduce the impact of third-party code Third-party code blocked the main thread for 5,660 ms Minimize main-thread work 15.7 s Reduce JavaScript execution time 12.3 s

Wow

That's a bit like saying heroin addicts simply shouldn't use it, the companies are starving for revenue.

Some of them are literally a form linking to the faq part based on user input.

I think it's ok as a first step to route customer care cases, like "payments issue","delete account" etc, but nothing more granular than that.

That and link rot, when procedures have been updated, but the faq haven't. Infuriating.

By that logic, if every dev would face very serious legal consequences, the client could not just hire another dev.

I never liked the "will find another" trope.

The Chinese , after the opium wars, simply executed dealers and users.

Very radical, but you bet dealers wouldn't just find the next user and vice versa

Spain would not hesitate to do so, they don't care much about title or rank or name, so long it's not one of their own.

It wouldn't surprise me if the UK and the us sold these weapons to them, then it's easy to claim "look they have these weapons".
