most banks have quite a long list of what they won't allow you to buy. In the end it is their money not yours so they get to decide what they will or will not allow you to borrow from them to buy directly. Perfectly legal as it is their money.
Does the poster of the article not understand how short selling works? or are they just Shills for Tesla? Tesla is down over the last 12 months while the market is up. Short sellers have made an absolute fortune on Tesla shorting (No I am not one of them though I wish I had been). The current stock movements may have a lost a few some money, but only a fraction of what they have made on this underperforming stock.
you actually taste with your sense of smell/nose for the most part. Your mouth/tongue is only capable of very basic senses,sweet/sour/salty/bitter/savoury. Not that I want to try it but if you block your nose then I imagine shit would actually be in difficult to differentiate from many other foods you actually enjoy.
bullshit. There are only 2 conclusions you can draw from this a) CISCO's development process is fundamentally broken and there security vetting so flawed as to be laughably competent or b) they are intentionally malicious. neither scenario is good news. These are not standard security flaws that should be expected and discovered.
The fact you think the cost of someone to do this is only the hourly rate means you are someone that shouldn't be making these decisions as you don't understand the costs.
yeah obviously I am the one that needs a brain https://www.statista.com/stati... , you are the one that gave that link that proved yourself wrong. you came up with a stupid number for lifetime of phones and now try to defend it or deflect it.
because debt is not always bad (assuming you are not in a situation like TESLA where you will be forced into insane interest rates), debt has tax benefits as well as the ability to leverage overseas funds and assets that would otherwise attract large tax bills. Even some of the largest most profitable companies on the planet like Microsoft and Apple maintain a healthy level of debt.
I don't need a link, more than happy to use yours lol, even though those numbers are likely inflated by the ad company they still show you are a long way off. that link probably puts Android somewhere in the 3-3.5 billion range.
hard to know who to cheer for in this argument.
On one hand we have a brutal dictator that is sending his country back to the dark ages.
Then you have a wholly corrupt taxi industry (yes for Turkey this really is the case)
Then you have Uber, a company whose business model is ignoring local laws and regulations to undercut local industry and suckers people to work as underpayed drivers.
then please find us a source. Every source I can see agrees that the numbers are somewhere around 2.5 billion for all smartphones in use. you are the one making up the stats that disagree with whats our there so please provide the citation!
The autopilot in a plane also requires all pilots to be trained and aware of not just its abilities but also its well defined limitations. Are you suggesting Tesla drivers should all require a separate training and certification process to be able to use autopilot?
I don't play CoD or Madden or most other AAA games, possibly the only exception to that might be World of tanks, but that doesn't have mindless microtransactions or lootboxes, (Nor a Linux version for that matter). But your pure ignorance and dismissal of what the majority of gamers play in favour of your niche games is one of the reasons Linux gaming has really failed to make it mainstream. The attitude that only what you enjoy can possibly be right will ensure it never becomes mainstream.
So if you are going to disregard all the big studios to make your list look good then fine, but please don't pretend gaming on Linux is in a healthy state.
SteamOS is being used by a tiny fraction of gamers and while it might not yet be a casualty it is certainly moribund. The market failure of steam machines has all but buried it.
That is a 20% margin BEFORE the rest of the costs WHEN they are finally at 10k units per week. that means if they were churning out the 35k model now they would be taking a sizable loss.
Then lab grown diamonds need to fight them at their own game. create some flawed diamonds and challenge De Beers to detect the real ones. Then when they inevitiably fail you market the "perfect diamond", we can create the flawed diamonds De Beers sells you if you want, or for a cheaper price we can sell you perfection, something De Beers used to put an extreme premium on until others worked out how to create it.
I am surprised it hasn't already been done (actually would suspect it has been done and they are being passed off as mined ones). Regardless the lab grown ones for a small premium could be a much better custom service, have whatever flaw you like inserted, like custom colours or specific images embedded as flaws.
those same flaws are also easily replicated in a lab. especially colour and their is no reason each lab one can't be unique as well. However the majority of non lab grown ones are hardly particularly unique either and the flaws are usually considered to make them lower in quality except where said flawes add something special like colour or unqiue reflections.
Not special maybe, though more special and rare than the abundant but artificially limited supply of mined ones. As for not real? WTF? they are as real as any other diamond, what makes a diamond is its chemical makeup and structure not whether it was lab created or mined.
yeah just what they need, yet another fanatical religious sect that denounces population control like the pope does. they have double the population that is supportable by the water supply EVEN if their was no corruption and mismanagement. being in yet another church based dictators is not going to improve matters.
corruption, water mismanagement AND a massive population explosion over the last half century. climate change on top of all that I doubt has even a measurable effect by comparison.
The issue isn't whether or not you can wait, it is the pure inconvenience. For example at the checkout with a cart full of groceries only to find your bank is currently offline (as happens to 10's of thousands of people for this incident, and also for the CBA incident not that long ago and then again for the ANZ incident). What do you do when you pump the gas only to then find your card is declined? you will be forced to leave a guarantee of some sort as well as the hugely inconvenient process of filling out forms and identification and a further trip back their with either cash or a working card, if you don't have that you are fucked. Once a year is more than enough incentive to have a spare card which costs nothing but a few minutes to apply for and get, even if it only saves you an hour every 5 years you are miles ahead. For me it saved me a good hour for just this incident, saved me many hours and a great deal of pain last time I was in the US only to find one of my cards had been skimmed so the bank had to cancel it while I was getting on a flight to London. So easy to have a safe DR solution so why the fuck not.
There has also been a plethora of loss making startups with no real (or at least viable) plan for profitability. Startup's have always had a failure rate north of 80%, this isn't a new phenomenon. Yes if they all came crashing down together it would hurt some, but nothing like the dotcom boom.
Yep I usually keep a hundred in my wallet and another 50 or so in the car somewhere for when I forget my wallet. I also ALWAYS have cards from 2 separate banks, especially when on holidays to avoid the sort of problem the NAB had, I have NAB cards, but also CBA and WESTPAC in australia so was unaffected (except the checkout at the supermarket took me 30 seconds longer as I had to hunt in my wallet for a second card after the NAB one was declined).

given many of the large botnets are available for "rent" I would say rent is still the right term.

If you don't even know what an ERP solution is then why the fuck even comment!
