Well not on Reddit you won’t 🤷‍♂️

No, just with the TOS

>In the real world, there is more to practical design than aerodynamic efficiency.

There literally is nothing more practical than aerodynamic efficiency when the intent of the car is to maximize driving distance per watt hour. Literally not a single thing more practical. Not one.

Edit: Lol, you threw a little pout and blocked me over this. What a thin skinned crybaby. No wonder you freak out over nonsense. They always love to throw out their little last whine before they block too. So cliché.

I mean as an admin I tend to agree about the incomprehensibly of azure ad and the 29 other control panels Microsoft asks admins to manage. I will say that while the UI is shit, the vertical integration of an all windows environment is very useful for businesses looking to move away from managing hardware, no one else has an offering that comes close. Apple does the same thing in the consumer space and no one ever seems to care. Google's cloud is dogshit though, I've managed workspace tenants and it's so much worse than even Microsoft. Google's documentation is as likely to lie as to tell the truth, and their support is useless.

Or I can stay and express my views just like anyone else. You don't have to agree and no one needs to ban people they don't agree with, but their are plenty of people too fragile to handle that someone disagrees with them. Usually a keyboard totalitarian type. Thanks for weighing in though.

Make it known that she will be unwelcome in your state and not voted for again. Even if this doesn't pass.. they'll try to pass a similar bill later.

There is almost zero legitimate reason for the entire "fintech" space to exist at all.

First and second order financial service derivatives are acceptable, and add real utility/value to the economy - things like basic banking and lending services, properly regulated stocks/bonds, even options/futures trading to a lesser extent.

Past that, it's pretty much just corporations leeching money from the real economy, producing nothing of value and creating mass systemic risks. It's the same kind of shit that gave us the 2008 crisis.

The worst part is that the same kinds of people who push fintech have successfully convinced a ton of people to get mad at the wrong targets, and to support the worst form of fintech yet (cryptocurrencies).

They replaced our old bulbs with LED bulbs. Initially they were okay, though cooler than I'd like. Over a few months, they slowly turned purple due to a defect. From our living room, it almost looked like we had a neon sign on our front porch. Called the city to replace them.

There are some laws, but given the relatively young age of the tech, regulations haven’t caught up and it is a hard topic to broach.

If someone tricks you into giving them money, right now there isn’t a way to really do much because you pushed the send button. And should there be? This is part of the question.

One way to reduce this is to make it harder to join these types of P2P payment platforms and put other authentication and authorization “road blocks” in place. How many need to go on to strike a balance between security and keeping the service relevant? That’s yet to be seen.
