Does anyone else think these have been happening a long time but now they make front paper news because of recent activities?

Which recent activities? House hearings on weaponization? Hersh's article on Nord Stream? Something else?

Undated, but I think this is at least (2016).

Edit: D'oh, is dated, apologies. In any case, should have date in HN title.

>So yeah, why is that? And is anyone else tired of the constant barrage of subscriptions for things that should be one off purchases?

It's extremely tiresome. And surely the only motives are profit and control.

It's gotten so bad that now auto manufacturers are charging monthly subscriptions to use features that are built into the car that you have already purchased.[0] It's a disturbing trend that will eventually have to fall short somewhere down the line.

> The Canadian Association of MAID Assessors and Providers, the leading organization of Canadian euthanasia providers, has sat on credible evidence by its own members that people are being driven to euthanasia by credit card debt, poor housing, and difficulties getting medical care.

Did I miss the actual concrete evidence this is being purposefully being used to reduce certain populations?

Not sure if I understand, but the article gives a number of examples, such as:

> Mary knows that she could control her pain if she could take vitamin pills, eat a special diet, and go to physiotherapy. She can’t afford it. “Mary identifies poverty as the driver of her MAID request,” Gibb-Carsley writes on a slide accompanying her talk, emphasizing the. “She does not want to die, but she’s suffering terribly and she’s been maxing out her credit cards. She has no other options.”

Fear of 13.

Captivating storytelling by the subject of the story. It's the life story of a man who spent 21 years on death row for a murder he had nothing to do with. He eventually cancelled all his appeals and requested his sentence be carried out.

Nick's episode on JRE was also pretty good. Link to a clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2kPxE_Funhw

Why did the SSL expire?

I'm only asking because I have a domain that also uses a certificate from Let's Encrypt / R3 / ISRG Root X1 and I've never had to renew it. (It seems like they auto-renew every 90 days?)

>It's just a number that the ACCC and Google both agreed upon.

Both groups agreed on it being fully aware of Google's revenue, and if Google had the revenue of an average company it's likely neither side would have suggested the amount. Somewhat revenue based.

It says absolutely nothing of the sort in the article. Seems like yet another assumption you are making.

By the same logic, both groups are fully aware that Google starts with the letter G, therefore the size of the fine is based on the fact that Google starts with the letter G.

I'm really not trying to be an asshole here, but please don't go around saying things that you don't know to be true.
