Good and services are still primarily purchased with fiat in most of the world. You need to be able to actually use it for it to be useful, so whether or not blockchain is theoretically better doesn’t matter there if there isn’t wide enough adoption.

I wonder how that’s going to play out with Apple and their monopoly.

To be fair, what they want is to make money off of you, be it through metadata or through advertising. It’s just that sending you videos happens to be the model which they use to get the metadata or advertising income.

And Musk has already initiated a lawsuit against those who have shone a light on it.

Not using it helps do that.

I’ve seen more than one hour long ad. It let you skip after 5 seconds, but imagine if someone were leaving it on as background.

Just like every other conservative social network *cough* Truth Social *cough*.

Ed… Ward…

So pump n dump has more than one meaning here.

Under international law, you do not wantonly strike vehicles with markings for medical aid, such as ambulances. Doing so is a war crime. It doesn’t matter if it was, “an internationally recognized convoy.” It doesn’t matter if you suspect that it is fake.

Israel is admitting to violating Article 21 of the Geneva convention.

And yet, they are the ones accusing Amazon of price fixing.

Like I said, go tell them that they got it wrong.

Go ahead and tell the FTC that you know the law better than they do.

Yes, which is the price-fixing I was talking about. There doesn’t need to be an overt agreement to fall under price fixing.

Which is exactly what was described in the article.

Price fixing, whether explicit or implied from conduct, is absolutely something anti-trust regulations were designed to prevent.

I think it’s less to do with the fact that ads exist, and more to do with how intrusive they are. Early YouTube ads were pretty tame compared to the ones today, especially when it was just banner ads.

You’ve made it clear that you would vote Republican if the Democrats don’t support AI.

And since you have said it yourself that it would be voting against people’s rights to do so, you’ve made it clear that you are okay voting against people’s rights if it means voting for AI, which is exactly how the rights of everyone get eroded.

You’ve said, repeatedly, that you would vote for AI over rights. It’s your single issue, and have even pointed out that Democrats can support both, but if they don’t support AI you’ll vote against them regardless of what their opponents support.

No exceptions, I will become a single issue voter and this will be my issue.

Edit: I think you’re starting to realize that you’ve blustered yourself into a corner.

Need I remind you of your initial comment?

Delay llama 3 and I’m voting for whoever runs against Biden. No exceptions, I will become a single issue voter and this will be my issue.

No exceptions also includes even if the person running against Biden wants to take away your right to vote or bodily autonomy.
