Their are other misteaks people make aswell, alot of people don’t know english good.
Most people don’t live in Northern Ontario.
Most Ontarians live in cities.
Humans are descended from apes, humans are apes, and humans are cousins of the other modern apes.
We’re not descended from chimpanzees, but both we and chimpanzees descend from another ape.
Piracy has never been stealing. It’s copyright infringement. The two are completely different.
Also, most people are nearly athiests.
Christians deny the existence of Zeus, Ra, Mars, Shiva, Odin, Thor, Kali, Horus, Tew, Huitzilopochtli, Pele, Erra… Of all the gods and goddesses that people have ever said exist, Christians don’t believe in any of them other than their one god. Even Hindus, who have a pantheon with multiple gods, generally don’t believe in the gods of other religions.
Backed by $1 in the legacy banking system
Yes, other memecoins used to also be pegged to the dollar, but they lost their peg, like TerraUSD and Tether.
which represents exactly $1.
Until it doesn’t.
It’s no different than a number in your banks database, except it’s in your custody, like cash.
And it’s not a real currency, it’s a memecoin.
Is your bank’s database a currency?
No, my bank’s database is a database, it refers to a currency that is real because it is accepted for paying taxes, fines, etc.
but I’m happy to teach you about the industry if you’re interested
There’s nothing you could teach that would be valuable to learn. You seem to be in on the grift, looking for another person to get in on the pyramid scheme. Good luck with that, but I’m not interested.
Like a number in the database at your bank. No different than that.
Except that my bank stores dollars, not memecoins.
Are you saying that is a different concept than usdc
Yes, because “USDC” isn’t a currency.
USDC is absolutely a token on many different ledgers that represents a currency.
No, it is a speculative investment. If it were a currency it would be something people were using to buy things, accepting for selling things, using to pay taxes and fines, using to invest in something else, etc.
It’s not a currency, it’s at best some kind of intermediate thing used to buy even more speculative “investments”.
The customer was using cloudflare IP addresses, which is causing a knock-on effect for the rest of cloudflare’s customers and putting cloudflare as a business themselves at risk.
Right, so sales should not be involved in any way.
The alternative was for the customer to use their own IP addresses as cloudflare advised .
Again, sales should not have been involved in any way.
I’m not sure what you think ‘Business development’ teams do but I certainly wouldn’t be expecting engineering advice from them.
They are at least not identical to sales. They work with sales, but there’s at least some engineering component of the job. In this case if you were told you were meeting with the business development team, you’d expect that there would be talk about an engineering solution to the problem. Not just paying cloudflare more money.
I’m 100% on the side of CF.
100%?
We scheduled a call with their “Business Development” department. Turns out the meeting was with their Sales team,
…
So we scheduled another call, now with their “Trust and Safety” team. But it turns out, we were actually talking to Sales again.
This is the part that’s ridiculous to me. If CloudFlare thinks they’re violating TOS that’s fine. If they’re willing to let them continue with their business as-is as long as they pay more? That’s fine. But, scheduling calls with one group and it turns out it’s actually CloudFlare’s sales team on the phone, that’s ridiculous.
And most of that history tells us why it’s a good idea to democratize currency.
No… that history tells us that currency only exists when there’s a state / religion in control. There’s no reason for currency without a state / religion. Not only would it not work, it’s also unnecessary.
Decentralized currencies were in place
Uh huh… like when?
The difference is that medicine, as a concept, is useful.
Interestingly, for a currency to actually be useful, there needs to be a demand for it, something that you can only pay for in that currency. For real currencies that is normally taxes. England only accepts taxes paid in pounds, so there’s a demand for pounds from every person who has to pay taxes in England. For crypto, extortion is basically the only source of demand.
Sure, occasionally there are places that accept both real currencies and crypto currencies, but for legit businesses almost none of the revenue comes from the crypto side. But, for ransomware, etc. the hackers only accept crypto. That means there’s a demand for crypto, which means that it has some value.
I actually considered a non-governmental, community regulated currency as a pretty good idea.
That goes against the entire history of currencies. Every successful currency in history has been controlled by either the state or a religion (which was effectively state-like).
I don’t know what their motivation is, but I definitely hope they protect the identity of the voice actress. If her name gets out, it’s basically guaranteed her life would suck for a while.
If she’s like 99% of actors, she’s someone just struggling to get work, who’s lucky if she can afford to rent an apartment without roommates. If her name got out, she’s almost certainly have to deal with death threats, stalkers, etc. Rich celebrities can deal with that kind of attention because they have the money to hire security people, PR people, lawyers, etc. Some random voice actor is not going to have those resources.
Can you imagine how happy this makes China?
Yep. Because stealing is a crime that goes back thousands of years. It was an old crime by the time the 10 commandments were written down. Meanwhile, copyright infringement is a new thing that’s maybe a few centuries old at most, and it’s a lot more morally ambiguous. Is it wrong to infringe on a monopoly that the government has given a corporation over the sharing of a tangible expression of an idea? Maybe sometimes? Maybe not other times?
