No, the world didn't exist before capitalism. Just like the world did not exist before evolution through natural selection.

Certainly very ironic. But is this line of argument incorrect? E.g. if I said "I don't believe in the Holy Book because in verse 7 it says that one cannot trust anything written in any books". Isn't that an analogous rea

At first I assumed it was because of liquidity problems and not because they wanted to screw customers. But in the hearings later he refused to answer a bunch of easy questions. E.g. the following meme is literally what he said: https:&#x2

E.g. most chickens (about 2/3) that come out of their egg are male. But a flock only allows maybe 1 adult male for every 5 females, with the surplus murdered by other chickens. So almost all male chickens are superfluous in that sense.

Of course that depends on what services you use and yes, even then there is some remaining correlation just because it is the same host. > are not truly independent of each other Indeed. They are even on the same planet! > please stop

Also, you can just take two different amazon regions and hope they don't both go down at the same time. For extra safety, and extra work, you could even take Azure as a backup if you're not locked in with AWS.

This doesn't begin to address the issue. E.g. if you work at the fed you buy a 3x treasury index fund if you know rates will be lowered, or short 3x treasury index if you know rates will be raised. If you are a judge or legislator and

When I needed it for fairphone 2, many years ago, they said they would never sell that battery again.

by autosharp 5y ago
Same here. Bought one on the promise of being able to purchase spare parts. 18 months later the battery is dead and I cannot buy a new one, ever again. That is worse than a regular Samsung on the principal measure they claim to be good at.

Again, from the Russian side, it was first Poland that joined, then talk of Ukraine joining. So an ever east-ward expansion of NATO. Meanwhile economic sanctions and exclusion. When that happened, Russia simply reacted. Much like the U.S. r

Communist, democratic, (il)liberal -- the rhetoric all doesn't matter. Containment of China and an international balance of power is the issue, not which flavor of governance domestically.
