Soon enough you can just say you’re trans and get out.

If they don’t believe you, start acting very outwardly like it.

They’re Nazi’s

Trump: Only a liberal would shoot this guy, so we’re banning guns for liberals. Moving forward, who you vote for will be recorded, and if you vote liberal, your house will be raided and all guns removed at gunpoint and threat of execution.

Did anyone notice the rainbow today?

Dlr is canada and takes 3 days.

And even a +1 day is a long time. And then there’s weekends and holidays. So you could do something on Thursday, Fridays a holiday, so then it’s Monday is the +1 and you are settled and complete on Tuesday morning.

A lot can happen between a Thursday morning trade and Tuesday morning, and a lot can happen in a regular +1 day. The markets don’t really care about non business days and shit happening.

Same day within minutes settlement would be huge.

It would reduce the settlement time from multiple days to likely minutes.

When you trade a stock today, it’s not actually complete for 2 or 3 business days as it has to go through the settlement process. Generally, it doesn’t cause problems for retail traders as exchanges act like its completed, but even for us it can introduce real issues sometimes and delay you from making a trade.

For example, in Canada, the cheapest way we can convert CAD<–>USD is through a process called Norbits Gambit.

You buy DLR.TO (CAD) or DLR.U.TO (USD) and then your have them journal your shares from one to the other for free, or a small fee like $10. You don’t pay an exchange rate fee, however, because the trade hasn’t actually settled when you buy the shares for 3 days, they can’t journal them. So for 3 business days you’re exposed to any fluctuation in the exchange rate. Generally that’s cheaper than what a bank will charge you and it’s the risk you take. It’s also a 1 way risk, I can’t recall if it’s USD -> CAD or CAD -> USD, but one of them is locked in, and the other is exposed. (Edit: It’s DLR.U.TO that exposes you. Holding either is like holding USD, so when you buy DLR.TO you already bought the USD value in CAD)

At WealthSimple, when you sell some shares, you can’t actually transfer the money to your bank account on the same day. The balance isn’t available to transfer.

I’m sure it can cause more problems for professional traders and institutional stuff, and even other ways it impacts us that I don’t know about.

Don’t forget to sell the unicycle when you buy the car.

I think the point is, if you’re not carrying 4 passengers all the time, why the fuck did you buy a car when you could have bought a unicycle instead?

I don’t think patents themselves are inherently bad, but the way things have turned is atrocious.

There’s merit to inventing something that could be easily reproduced once seen and getting a little protection to get to sell it before a big corpo just duplicates it and undersell you to death.

But there are so many crazy patents out there, and especially on very broad ideas in the software world that is absolutely batshit insane.

Software patents probably shouldn’t exist unless they are super fucking specific and only for that exact implementationand method , but maybe not even then.

Not gonna lie, I didn’t expect him to blame a corpo product. I figured he was gonna make something up like a poor diet that’s nebulous and doesn’t cause financial harm to a company.

Although maybe he tried to shake down the company and they refused where others paid up.

We’ll just quickly end up at taxes are against my religion. All hail the Flying Spaghetti Monster!

You still need to enable sharing for this to happen, but if you do, then they can probably do anything.

Otherwise they probably need a court order to violate their policy and would be open to lawsuits if it was discovered they were looking at video feeds with the setting disabled.

EDIT: Example below (note the fine is pathetic)

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/siri-civil-lawsuit-settlement-apple-iphone-eavesdropping/

Apple has agreed to pay $95 million to settle a civil lawsuit accusing the privacy-minded company of deploying its virtual assistant Siri to eavesdrop on people using its iPhone and other trendy devices.

The proposed settlement filed Tuesday in an Oakland, California, federal court would resolve a 5-year-old lawsuit revolving around allegations that Apple surreptitiously activated Siri to record conversations through iPhones and other devices equipped with the virtual assistant for more than a decade.

The alleged recordings occurred even when people didn’t seek to activate the virtual assistant with the trigger words, “Hey, Siri.” Some of the recorded conversations were then shared with advertisers in an attempt to sell their products to consumers more likely to be interested in the goods and services, the lawsuit asserted.

Edit: Further edit - I swear to god, that my partner would get advertisements for things we spoke out loud about, really odd things as well that we would NEVER have searched for. Maybe it was this.

What about dirty bombs? Less effective, but still a deterrent?

E.g take out the refinery and deny the entire area moving forward.

Actually using it’s another matter, but the idea being it’d be a deterrent.

Closed PRs and Closed issues?

What if it’s a side project with 1 star, 0 issues (because no one made any) and no PRs because no ones done work on it?

Ya, that’s a really good point as well.

Hope you have enough food and water within reach to last the day

It’s worth noting that there are limited spots you can land on the Taiwan coast for an assault, and they are heavily guarded.

It’s a very different war up until they can get and maintain a foothold.

The stars are more important when you’re a developer. It indicates interest in the project, and when it’s a library you might want to use that translates into how well maintained it might be and what level of official and unofficial support you might get from it.

Other key things to look at are how often are they doing releases and committing changes, how long bugs are left open, if pull requests sit there forever without being merged in etc.

I had a friend who went down the right wing rabbit hole and he said that the earth is so big we can’t affect the environment that way.

Blew my mind. Trump supporter now as well.

Rick finds a magic lamp with a genie in it in 2007 and is asked what he wants for his 1 wish.

He says to be famous again.
