razius··on Banks, gangsters and the strange resurgence of cash
I always wondered, how is the unofficial USD rate set there?

Just day to day or do you have an app or something that the people follow?

razius··on The potential Orwellian horror of central bank digital currencies
They expressed the desire to put everything behind a digital id lock, from social media, travel to food:

razius··on Payments down 20% in my SaaS after EU introduced PSD2
I agree, the change needs to be viewed overall. The liability shift is a godsend, it also decreases customer support contacts to verify if the order is fraud or not.

Also, paired with 3DS2's frictionless flow we actually saw a small uptick.

razius··on Negative interest: Danske Bank changes threshold for personal customers
You have to consider as well that the typical down-payment for an apartment is around 40k EUR. So it's incredibly frustrating for those that are looking to save.
razius··on Ron Paul locked out of his Facebook page
Kinda like BLM attacking federal buildings, occupying land and declaring it independent?
razius··on Apple threatens to ban Parler unless they start censoring content
Very hard for some people to grasp apparently.
razius··on Apple threatens to ban Parler unless they start censoring content
What happens if peaceful, civil people think the insurrectionists crashed the system, overthrowed the government and installed Biden?
razius··on Apple threatens to ban Parler unless they start censoring content
I'm afraid it's too late, the democrats have won and they don't have such interest.
razius··on Apple threatens to ban Parler unless they start censoring content
This is after Twitter banned a large amount of conservative accounts so they are forced to move to Parler.
razius··on Reddit bans subreddit group “r/DonaldTrump”
Eg. The nazis could argue to themselves that they are just getting rid of the intolerant.
razius··on Reddit bans subreddit group “r/DonaldTrump”
I always see the paradox mentioned, at what percentage the tolerant actually flips to become the intolerant?
razius··on Reddit bans subreddit group “r/DonaldTrump”
What kind of political governance doesn't take kindly to any opposing views and doesn't tolerate debates?
razius··on Reddit bans subreddit group “r/DonaldTrump”
> A private company choosing who to allow on their platform? Seems like the freedom to me.

I wonder when people stopped thinking. By the same argument, should they be allowed to block all black people?

razius··on Reddit bans subreddit group “r/DonaldTrump”
Problematic as in contrarian view?
razius··on U.S. Capitol Locked Down Amid Escalating Protests
Sadly I tend to believe that a very small minority of people will ever bother to access the documents, the rest will just believe whatever the media will tell them.
razius··on Facebook Indefinitely Suspends Trump
Ironic, right?

This is why we would need an official investigation.

razius··on U.S. Capitol Locked Down Amid Escalating Protests
To add to this, lies with easily proven evidence if they wanted to investigate. Eg. Check report on something from a hearing or court document, checked the hearing or the court document itself and it's completely opposite to what the media is reporting.
razius··on U.S. Capitol Locked Down Amid Escalating Protests
One of the problems, yes. I've witness too many times where they blatantly lied.
razius··on An automated pipeline for the discovery of conspiracy theories
I truly hope this is sarcasm
razius··on Central Bank Digital Currencies Are a Bad Idea
Isn't that communism?
razius··on YouTube to remove content that alleges widespread election fraud
But what if they are?
razius··on It's only fake-believe: how to deal with a conspiracy theorist
It's interesting to see the cognitive dissonance in the article, they give out examples of how the tobacco industry conspired and pushed experts to promote their agenda yet we are supposed to trust the experts now blindly without any skepticism?
razius··on Technical Debt: Why it'll ruin your software
I keep thinking the same, did you find a good solution for it? My thinking is to argue to the business to schedule some dedicated time for "investments" to make the iterations faster.
razius··on Twitter still hasn't unlocked the New York Post's account
Except those are pretty transparent and non-political.
razius··on Google Interview Questions Deconstructed: The Knight’s Dialer
This is my feeling as well, I think it's the difference between a computer scientist and an engineer. You just need to know who you are and what roles you prefer.
razius··on Almost 90 percent of NYC bars and restaurants couldn’t pay August rent
You know the point of a bar is not the alcohol, right?
razius··on Eastern European Movies
Romanian I would also recommend "Moartea domnului Lazarescu" https://easterneuropeanmovies.com/comedy/the-death-of-mr-laz...
razius··on ZFS Removes References to Slavery
Same thing with eastern european communism.
razius··on A mysterious company’s Covid-19 papers in top medical journals may be unraveling
We have to be careful with the "unproven" part, it was first approved for medical use in 1955 so it's side effects and safety are well known.

It's "unproven" as a treatment for COVID but pascal's wager would say that there is no harm in taking it.
