Indeed, stopping large-scale oil pipelines means US economy is held hostage, to a degree. Not all of it but some of it. Question is will it increase or not. This FBI action gives us some hope that criminals can be stopped.

Can be stopped? Doesn't sound like this is what happened here, the company paying the ransom is what stopped the hostage. The FBI simply recovered the ransom (and some more), but probably can't cover for the economic damage from the hold-up.

Isn't your company name problematic given the historical connotations?

Out of curiosity, why does this apply to US and Isreal residents? Is there a legal framework that makes Isarelis eligible for these kinds of settlments automatically?

Direct quotes from the article:

| If the next-gen CPUs live up to the hype ...

| if Navi ends up being a worthwhile solution ...

| [a] 24 percent year-over-year [decline] ...

| single-digit percentage revenue growth [...] could end up being conservative ...

| depending on how things play out ...

| It's all speculation at this point ...

| though that bit is less clear ...

| There are plenty of "ifs" ...

... there is nothing BUT ifs in this piece.

Yeah it's just speculation, sounds even like they're trying to hype up AMD stock...

Does it not seem fucked up that we're allowing corporations to make their own exclusive TLDs in the first place?

7dare · 7 years ago

I don't get why Amazon would get control of the entire TLD. Can't these new TLDs be managed by some other entity which hands out domains to those that want them?

And/or a way to "offer more value" without the extra cost.

Same reason you get more trade-in credit for a giftcard then cash, hosting is "virtually" free, and kindles only cost production + shipping cost.

Not defending them, this is a useless offer, just offering another reason they'd have.

7dare · 7 years ago

And $5 million is nothing for Amazon, especially given they're only actually spending a fraction of that as you mentioned.

I guess this sort of defeats the purpose of switching from Google search to Bing over privacy concerns.

Does it still affect you if you don't connect your FB account? I wouldn't think so

> Evidence suggests that these are mostly just attention-starved gamers looking to impress one another

What is the link with gaming I'm missing here? Is 4chan simply associated by gaming defacto? I don't see anything else about video games or any evidence of these people being gamers in the article...

It is argued that there is a higher probability that we are living in a simulation.

7dare · 7 years ago

He's arguing against that view and gave arguments. Do you have any?

I pretend to be mature enough to understand my mood and the influence coming from it in my mails, thanks.

Beside that I do not use webmails (except rare occasion) nor Chrome...
