So now he has to make ends meet on, like, two million dollars a month? TWO!

Start investing and pumping money into the market, guys! This time it's safe, market will never go down again and noone will lose money! Promise! /s

It's funny how they talk of money and market value being erased as if the money is definitely subtracted from balance without being added somewhere else, literally deleted from existance.

When the market crashes for you and others, there's always someone in the high echelons of the game who ends up getting richer.

I haven't kept up with C++ for over a decade, but the little glimpses I catch of it makes me think that though it has received good and useful stuff, it has also grown needlessly complex.

I don't follow. Why would an EU country punish a US citizen for reporting espionage/sabotage directed against the EU country? Or do you mean something else?
lizardactivist · 3 years ago
Maybe my wording is bad; the EU should offer protection to US citizens who expose crimes committed by the US government in the EU. And preferably committed elsewhere in the world, since it's in the world's best interest to know.

Idea: extend the act to provide full protection for US Americans who expose espionage, sabotage (and possibly worse things) carried out in EU countries.

I think this is a cultural thing as well.

I am reminded of how Daniel Stenberg (author of curl) interviewed with Mozilla, and mentioned it was several interviews taking place over several days. Obviously questions like these made up the bulk of the interviews, because they could not seriously have any doubts of his skill as a software developer.

Several interviews stretching over several days; accused serial killers have had to endure less before going to trial.

I wonder how many more people we don't know about have been killed to keep this mess contained.

Ghislaine's peculiarly friendly and apologizing comments about accused rapist and former U.S President Bill Clinton suggests who she suspects may be behind some of it. Coincidentally there's frequently talk about how several of his past associates seem to have been shot and killed.

I can't imagine a company like that would make a good landlord.
