It's most profitable to get people on a weekly/monthly plan and every industry is trying to do this. In the future you will rent everything (phone included), and own nothing.

Just a reminder if you're being censored in any serious way then don't use TOR, as the network is largely controlled by a few actors and the devs don't seem to care / or don't have the proper resources to deal with it.

I think everybody expected this. Big corp/biden news has struggled to keep up the facade lately. Look at the dislike counts here https://www.youtube.com/c/WhiteHouse/videos

They asked Microsoft also. So does anybody know whether Windows would be logging searches at the OS level? ik about the windows search menu being logged, but interesting whether they actually intercept web searches.

I keep getting NFT and crypto advert-type popups which put me off using brave.

I don't think the market demands it, just the media. Ive noticed the feminist media only focus on pretty white women CEOs, even when they are often disastrous for the company (Yahoo). I've been surprised by the lack of reporting about Lisa's success.

The lower class of today is out of luck due to immigration and globalization. Very different to previous generations who had significant leverage when they decided not to work and often got offered great benefits/higher wages after collectively withholding their labor.

Playing video games and receiving welfare while living with the parents is probably not a bad choice for those with few opportunities. I would not want to do dead-end jobs just to never be able to own my own home and have a wife and children etc.

This is why Monero will never work. Anonymity is defeated because i have to buy it when i want to use it, and sell as soon as i receive it. I can't just hold it in my offline wallet because I'd be speculating on the price.

Ever since crypto became mainstream, nobody has cared about things like decentralization and 'the tech'. Binance realized this when they released their centralized alternative to ethereum and the gamblers switched over instantaneously for the lower fees.

> That's not unique in NZ. The US and UK

Which is why it's a problem. My guess is these countries will all be able to offer much more $ in a battle for these workers.

Did we get some major AI breakthrough in the past 3 years? or are we still sinking billions into things like self driving where the problem is always 97% solved due to AI being a poor fit?

On the crypto front it looks like there has been some progress, my $100 of tether now costs $150 worth of eth to send, whereas it only cost $30 to send during the last bull run.

I'm a kiwi and i've never understood why the world keeps announcing NZ as victorious when covid is a marathon. Ask whether we were successful in 5 years time.

It could become problematic if other countries like Australia start opening up and we see an exodus of young professionals including healthcare workers, the latter we're seeing severe shortages of even with no covid cases. In contrast to NZ, Australia is better resourced to live with Covid and their citizens are quite rebellious against lock-downs, so it wouldn't surprise me if they open up well before NZ which could make things very awkward if we're still fumbling around with an elimination strategy.

Faking is probably the wrong word. Just bragging about doing things they don't actually do.

That's just the excuse, and the excuses don't come very often so you have to pass as many bs laws while the average voter is in a panic.

You mean rappers who are likely faking their drug use as they often do with their use of firearms, expensive jewellery and cars.

Got vaccinated but it looks like long covid was unavoidable all along thanks to my generation's willingness embrace and celebrate big govt.

People who make poor health decisions also have poor diet and exercise habits. Shocking and has never been proven before.

Anecdotal but I've noticed that for a lot of women, achieving the degree seems to be the end goal and status symbol, while for men the degree is just a path to better financial outcomes. If the calculation for the latter has changed to where degree is no longer worth it compared to alternatives, that could explain it.

> sustainability of its business model above objective reporting

Wouldn't publicly-funded media be the same? if a conservative govt wanted to cut the media budget would we not see one-sided negative reporting targeting conservatives?

We know what works - building more. To my knowledge, this has only been politically acceptable after a natural disaster like an earthquake which makes a lot of homes unlivable.

This is exactly what my prime minister (New Zealand) has been doing, and she previously worked for the Tony Blair campaign. Seems to be working quite well for her.

All you need is an imagination. Paid only-fans links for example would be a huge winner when targeted at virgin men in their 20s with no real life friends (AKA Reddit userbase). These subtle advertisements are already happening all over Reddit through user posts, it's just Reddit stupidly does not charge for it.

I don't see how modern women can be 'trapped' in bad marriages. Women almost always marry up, wealthy women included. Married women i know have a huge divorce settlement and weekly payments to look forward to should a marriage not work out, bonus payments if children. Sometimes while the divorce is being finalized her new boyfriend can move in while you're made homeless, all she has to do is make an allegation of abuse.

> The death of George Floyd, the national reckoning over systemic racism and inequality, and the death of iconic U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg all focused attention on the rule of law

Highly doubt this caused the increase. There was a survey where only about 5% of non-elites (regular people) actually rate these issues as important.

Does anybody find it strange how there's never a single post by man in female dominated industry? Yet i see headlines about 'women in tech', almost every day.

And please can we call it IT, not 'tech'. As a dev, 'tech' always sounded as though you were doing things much harder than IT.

Lead poisoning = lower IQ & educational attainment

poor education & lower IQ = locked out of the labor force and more likely to make bad decisions in life

not rocket science.

$2b for a password manager, seriously?

Monero can't be used effectively because you have to trade out of it as soon as you receive it, due to volatility. If the monero guys kicked out the idiot gamblers in their community and switched it to a stable-coin it would be the killer crypto . The question is how you peg something to the USD without a centralized party that can lock your funds.

Should have sold them Bitcoin ( $33,461.37 ) sent out Bitcoin cash ( $494.26 ). Technically sending them Bitcoin, just on a different blockchain.
