In either case, it’s a self-fulfilling prophecy, since only the poor would remain in a food desert, if you have money, you have options.

Some people have it as their only choice due to living in a food desert. Imagine how fucked up is that.

So if I understand correctly, the reason it’s outdated is not because we don’t need those pesky banking regulations any more, but that it has been found that banks will just take out their own loans to cover the reserves they need from the central bank, so they can just lend as much as they want, no seatbelts. And the central bank will never run out of loans to give, since they have insane reserves, in their own currency it is technically unlimited.

So money is not really the thing we think it is. If banks overextend themselves and fuck up, the only thing we’ll see instead of failing banks is runaway inflation in the consumer and asset (housing) markets. Wonder where I’ve seen that.

That’s my point, I always have a reasonable suspicion of anything I get from the Internet, but I don’t trust any site just because some underpaid functionary or corporate employee in its respective country said it’s good.

That’s the ecosystem. WordPress itself is pretty basic, these things attack plugins, and their often not-very-experienced creators and users. The thing with WordPress is that this kind of vulnerability comes with the problem space, not the particular solution. If there was a different product in the same space, it would not fare better by default.

Also, I’d bet that a ton of CVEs are filed for C++ libraries, yet nobody is harping on about how insecure C++ is.

IIRC they plan to have ultra-ortho only battalions so they can keep doing their ultra-ortho shit while fighting.

There’s a huge industry of people making wordpress sites who shouldn’t.

And this is why I hate the state of the whole hacking scene and that now nation states are also carrying out en masse attacks. Everyone should be free to make a site on Wordpress or whatever. If they can’t, that’s how we get everyone on like 3 corporate platforms like Facebook.

I’d guess it’s not because of the inherent insecurity of WordPress, but the sheer size of the ecosystem and the fact that like 40% of the Internet is WordPress sites.

So what are trustworthy TLDs?

I do like Mull, but I’m also uninformed and I don’t use my mobile browser all too much.

Ammunition for artillery that they don’t use by doctrine.

They have a ton of eg. plane ammo, but they don’t give planes to Ukraine.

It means, at least in the golang world, that they keep a copy of your source for themselves and use it for builds. They don’t pull from the public repo every time they build their stuff, so malicious code could only get in with new versions, but they check for that.

Oh, they do, they already exempted themselves and the police.

On a not entirely unrelated note, Budapest’s opposition mayor just had another leak of multiple unrelated phone calls, he himself suggesting that his phone may be tapped.

The government denied that the citizenry have any business discussing their recent purchase of the Israeli malware Pegasus.

About military logistics and trains, are you sure you’re right? We aren’t supplying Ukraine by trucks last time I’ve seen a shipment

Say that again after you sit the same IT exams as I did.

It’s weird that this has to be explained to Americans - this is how much of Big Tech got to where they are, except they call it “disruption”.

BTW this shows perfectly that free markets are not a be-all-end-all thing. It’s a tool, and if it produces outcomes that you don’t like, you can adjust it for better outcomes. The hypocrisy here is not that they pretend to worship the market then cry foul when China enters it on their terms, but that they do adjust it for their benefit all the time, and only pretend to worship it when people ask for their fair share.

Isn’t this just a response to China’s claims? So that they can later compromise to go back to the current status quo and everyone can fuck off peacefully from claiming the entire sea?

hordes of protesters and lines of cops

Wonder which side is being taken here…

“2020 snuck up on us,” Snelling acknowledged in a recent Tribune interview. “Let’s tell the cold, hard truth. We did not have the level of preparedness to deal with something that was that random that popped up on us.”

“We were murdering people so often on the street in broad daylight, we didn’t know it would be that one specific murder that has some repercussions.”

Reminds me of this vending machine that confused the amount of change it should give me with some error code it displayed in the high thousands, and went jackpot on me, spitting out all its coins.
