“not our responsibility, we’re just a booking portal” which is tenable as a start-up, but after a certain point, if you’re trying to build sustainable business and drive return business, you grow up and understand trust is a fundamental component of sustainable businesses.

Definitely a Dr. Evil headline. $1.3m? What is this 1992?

California: 80% of water use is agricultural and industrial but who do they lean on in drought years? Jimmy fucking John and minute showers. Corporations will not budge without force so state goes after the soft target.

Same play here.

You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.

All the news fit to-gone! Nothing! Shop closed, bets off!

Meanwhile 250B unfunded to start a war in Iran from which fuckall was gained, and much other than money was lost, is unquestionably funded.

The problem with the “reinvestment” thesis is that the US and certainly not California, aren’t some fledgling economies struggling to develop and grow–wealth is so unhealthily concentrated it leads to those with outsized portion of the gains investing in things for the sake of investing rather than actually doing anything good for the economy(let alone nation) long term.

Billionaires have wealth managers and investment teams throwing money at returns regardless of externalities, tax minimization, lobbying…they aren’t putting money into anything “real” that anyone on main street or any other street would benefit from.

There are no “country” corporations, they lobbied to be extra-national deliberately.

Google Voice user for 15 years and I’ve had about 3 instances where my number wasn’t usable for 2FA, mostly because, to your point, by the time companies that care about security learned about voip #s they realized they are mostly used legitimately and sms was insecure anyway. Luckily I found a great FOSS auth app, which I prefer to sms anyway; especially if traveling I don’t have to depend on a mobile connection to be able to complete 2FA.

There has never been a bigger windbag, so he may have a legitimate claim in there somewhere.

1700 students graduating, little shock one may have had a cell phone

This Stanford math is over my head.

It’s because when you write assholes well, assholes can’t help but deliver.
