So if I understand correctly, the reason it’s outdated is not because we don’t need those pesky banking regulations any more, but that it has been found that banks will just take out their own loans to cover the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 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.

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.

Are they independent from the cancerous management though?

Bank spokesman says they are itching to be the sector to fire the most workers, poised to make the economy so much better.

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

It’s kinda fucked up that each major political camp denies some genocide. Like we could replace who you vote for with which genocide was a shamocide?

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?

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.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the US suddely remembered where the 9/11 perpetrators were from if this is true.

F-Droid could go through it, the thing that is prohibited is for Google to bar them just because they are a competitor.

Good for them. The point is not that they are doing “bad things”. “Dumping” is not a curse word, it’s an economic strategy, one that’s practised by a whole bunch of companies, and not just Chinese ones. When Auchan is selling watermelons at a rate where they barely make any money over a single sale - but make a ton of money on other stuff you get while shopping for watermelons, it destroys farmer’s markets, for example.

All I’m saying is that the choice before the EU leadership was either letting Chinese EVs into the market and risk getting into a position where Chinese companies - and by extension the Chinese government - can pull the levers on the EU car market, in exchange for us getting to buy cheaper EVs right now.

The EU - and you can fill in the blank whether they did it because they wanted to protect EU carmakers’ business, or they wanted to prevent another situation similar to the one with Russian gas - decided that the risk is not worth it. My guess is that some voted as they did because of the former, others because of the latter. That said, you can’t really say that the EU would be “crooked” for either of these things, as fighting for the EU car industry against other countries’ car industries is well within their mandate, as is protecting the EU’s strategic political autonomy.

It’s just how things are, like with the great firewall. If someone wants to sell software services to China, they have to conform to their standards. You can say it’s good or bad, but that’s just how things work. As a European, I don’t care about this specific issue either way, we should be buying fewer cars, electric or otherwise. People who live in places in the EU where you need cars because there’s no good public transport also tend to be living in places where you can’t afford to buy new anyway, not even at BYD prices.
