Not really. Think of all of the corporate rebrandings of product lines for a future one to re-use that name. Ex. Google Wallet -> Android Pay -> Google Pay -> Google Wallet [1] A big difference here is that X has been pretty clear

Pretty much no. See every false dmca filing ever. Even Martha Stewart was "obstruction of justice" for providing incorrect answers that the prosecuters already knew the correct answer to.

The answer is yes. You don't think Ukrainians can't buy stuff from Russia (and vice-versa)?

I don't think you understand what a foundation is. If I make the claim, immigrants cause crime and I show a bunch of mug shots of immigrants who were arrest for crimes. That's a foundation. The solution isn't to pretend thing

Aren't the beliefs founded though? There are immigrants who commit crimes. Sure, it's not _every_ Mexican is a rapist and we're probably talking about basis points of basis points here. But it's a foundation. Hunter Bide

How does that not go back into the economy? The big difference between holding land vs gold/stock is that land is finite. If the price of gold spikes then people will build more gold mines. That's economic activity. If the price o

Who are you going to sell the bonds to? People only want cash during the crash so the value of everything goes down. It doesn't matter if you bond has a known 8% yield when held to maturity; the market can't hold it to maturity so

October[1] to August[2] isn't even a single year. Definitely longer than I'd expect for "cleared" considering everybody involved should have to be licensed and pretty sure you pay a fee to the FDA so that should cover th

Why would you throw a bomb into a garbage can? Who loiters next to one? 100% just drop it behind you as you exit the tram. Way better metal container for blasting. "Counter-terrorism" just means nobody thought about it more than 2

So we should just let companies flood doctors with potential treatments and then hope they have enough time to figure out whats relevant for their patients? Seems much better use of time and money to have people developing tests meet a pre-

Right, the entire PDF. You can't just create a tiny csv of the records you want. You need to upload GBs of data which is easily noticed by any of the routers involved. Although I mean just because somebody noticed data is being leaked

Sure, and the casinos in Nevada routinely pay out billions too. They (like Jane Street) just happen to have revenues in excess of their losses so they turn a profit. > The secretive Wall Street trading firm, however, has generated tradin

I feel like you're implying that the sharks tanked the stock price to then buy the assets at an artificially deflated price. I think the truth is really that being 4x leverage in the long term is just bad decision making as the stock m

Those aren't the only two choices. We also have the classic example of PHP with numerous not safe stdlib ways to use mysql. To me the answer is still to vendor your dependencies and don't be on the bleeding edge of updates unless
