> Honestly is it any less "baked in" than the pre-eminent Western powers?

Because it's _less_ "baked-in". Germany just recognized their part in a genocide, China has yet to acknowledge the Tiananmen massacre.

So don't have those fraudulent solutions?

As someone who doesn't work in advertising but is insterested in the space, I find your comment interesting but it doesn't help you are not providing much data for your hot take either. You mention Kickstarter, but looking at the list of crowdfunded projects, most of the successful ones were quite a while ago, if anything the most recent ones looks like scammy crypto coins, which would suggest advertising works rather for bad projects, a net negative.

> Just off the top of my head: - 2001 raid on Armando Diaz.

That's 20 years ago, if there is widespread abuse, you'd have something in mind more recent.

> Personally I don’t understand why violent horror as a genre exists, and literally cannot empathise with people who enjoy it.

What's wrong with it as entertainment?

> How do you understand something like 'withdraw, with conversion' or 'withdraw, let your bank handle the conversion', without language? Is there an obvious image or button shape that'd signify this without prior knowledge?

Let's say you're in Europe and and have a card in dollars:

[] 1000€

[] 1000€ (1€/1.2$ -> 1200$)

So we should throw away public spending because people can't be bothered to check on their politicians once in a while?

But what if something important but unseen is broken? You can't look for that and it's dangerous

> As far as I know, I can't personally sue these companies for this, and if the ICO does nothing then what's the law is meaningless.

Couldn't you sue ICO then?

I think the OP is referring to negative studies involving cannabis that receives funding from opposing groups. Alternatively, you have all the suspect studies describing miraculous plant properties paid by food company that put them in yogurt or health supplements.

> The reason it's important is because it would be the end of the gaming console model if they were forced to accept anything onto their app stores. Which would have pretty broad implications.

Which implications precisely? Because consoles not being sold at a loss seem like a positive outcome.

Thank you for your work, some of those are amazing!

First one I found: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Cloud_Print

> It tends to show up the least in WEIRD places

What do you mean by that?

What a surprise they share board members!

What's the point of your belief if you know it can't happen?

This is amazing, it looks really useful to easily code new sounds, but it seems not in real time?

I would change the name though, with pypy, pypi and pip it seems it will lead to confusion.

It sounds really deep, but there doesn't seem to be any truth to it? Wikipedia mentions internal problems and conquest by a neighboring kingdom: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdom_of_Kush

I don't understand why make up stories when there are more than enough material with the colonial history.

Unlike other people I find the portraits surprisingly diverse, I expected to see very white faces considering most "realistic" representations are from white actors and white statues erase features. Not a perfect project but interesting.

That just sounds like work, you write and get money for it ... like a writer.

On top of that those websites are almost always terrible, full of long article saying nothing.

Considering they were only lending to one person at a time, it does seem like the lawsuit is uncalled for.

Couldn't a gambler say exactly the same thing?

As someone without a bone in the fight, I find your language quite inflammatory, it's a bit excessive to use "backstab" and "gaslighting" IMO.

A few people died following that bet though

In case of accident, those two things would happen much frequently.

I laughed at the example comic, deadpan is always great

..yes? What's the problem with that?

Surely after 4 or 5 your kid can look for traffic no?

That makes no sense, cryptocurrencies are already being used for illegal purposes.
