so..i'll be scrolling through my feed and ill see my friend post what appears to be a video ad. I'm smart enough to know its just a facebook ad, but alot of people will be tricked and actually think their friend is endorsing a product.

He said gold was better, because gold doesn't cost electricity to produce whereas bitcoin does.
Thats not true, you need electricity (and other resources) to: - mine gold - build storage facilities to store gold - transport the gold

10c is more expensive than local phone calls are in alot of countries. Not a bad idea though, could make alot of spamming unviable even with a small amount like 1c. What about if you "like" something, a portion of the fee goes to the original poster?

$0.33 for the robot to produce the shirt vs $0.20 or so for the sweatshop worker in bangladesh.
Take into account the extra shipping costs from bangladesh and it might actually be cheaper

When it comes to corporate tax avoidance, the only headlines to take seriously are "Company x paid x amount of tax on x profits". If it says "Company x made x amount of revenue" or "Company x had x income last year" its not worth reading, companies are taxed on profit, not revenue.

For all we know, Signal itself could be one big CIA operation. It wouldn't be beyond their capabilities. But at least the protocol and encryption are open source.

If the worst happens and students get deported, the universities should find a way to at least allow the students to finish their degrees remotely over the internet. Then they can gift Australia or another country their skills.
