  1. Since a bit is not a physical entity, everyone seems to think they should be free.

  2. Re:How are errors dealt with? on Amazon's Checkout-Free Stores Are Coming to Three More Cities (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    It would not be in Amazon's best interests to screw customers over like you are fretting about. They wouldn't be customers anymore, and probably neither would their friends and family.

  3. Someone probably will "accidentally" leave some fake cards lying around at the stadium with alternate instructions that winds up draining the persons Ethereum wallet.

  4. Maybe. You know who would pay for it? People who own Apple stock, which would be pummeled when lower profit numbers were released. And yes, this probably includes you whether you know it or not through funds you may have in retirement plans.

    Tariffs are costly in the short term because US citizens will have to pay many of them until alternative sources are available.

    That's fine, us citizens just received a massive tax cut. Oh wait...

  7. yeah, but it'll never get through Congress (at least the current Congress). Although, if the Democrats can flip both the House and Senate, it would be interesting to see what Trump would do if this landed on his desk. He might sign it just to piss off Jeff Bezos.

    You can see the individual pubic hairs with 4k.

  9. Sounds vaguely like a Meatloaf song.

  10. That would certainly explain the way he treats Melania.

  11. This is simple. All they need to do is let Trump know that AWS is owned by Bezos and POOF Oracle gets the contract.

    I was closing an account at Capital One a couple of weeks ago, and as a security precaution they asked me for my phone #, sent me a code via text message, and had me repeat that code back to them. I was like, I don't understand what the hell that just accomplished but whatever, I just want to close the damn account. Maybe that's their idea of 2FA.

    When you're certain something is true, facts are no obstacle. It's trivial to rewrite the narrative to work around such annoyances as proof and evidence.

  20. I like your new invisible suit.

  21. Sounds throttled to me. Is that you Verizon?
