Most successful assassin in modern history, maybe all of history?

He killed Abe for his UC ties, and a short few years later, no more Japanese UC.

Has any other politically motivated assassination so directly, and spectacularly, achieved it’s aims?

Well, yeah.

Europe is continent sized piece of land. Russian tanks rolling into Moldova is a bit different than Poland, or Germany.

Different politically, militarily, and strategically.

Even then, I can’t see Putin biting off any more at this particular moment. Time will tell if Trump significantly eases sanctions to a degree that would enable him to speedily recapitialize.

Of course, I didn’t believe he’d actually try and take Kiev, so I’m not going to sit here and cosplay as a Kreminologist.

That’s unfortunate. Mulch is my preferred Android browser.

That is beyond an incredibly generous interpretation of their comment. In fact, that would have been a reasonable comment to make. But again, that wasn’t what they said.

Google is only useful for local shopping results, and even that is barely true anymore. I can’t recall the last time they returned a relevant result for any other type of search query.

The first half of the page is AI/ads, and the rest is SEO optimized trash.

Using udm=14 just means the result page has more room for SEO garbage.

A long history of military dictatorships, followed by the many flavors of Peronism, is actually how Argentina managed to downgrade themselves from developed economy, to a developing one. Which is also what created the conditions that swept the current government to power.

I’m not saying the current administration is helping the situation, just that their economic policies have continued a long standing tradition of gross economic mismanagement.

No. Just no.

Money isn’t the issue, at least not a real limiting issue. Any major European leader crying about it, should go suck on a tailpipe.

The real limiting factors are existing European stockpiles, and limited industrial capacity for things like high volume munition and artillery shell production.

Did you mean to send that reply to me?

I ask because I’m not quite sure what specific suggestions you’re looking for.

But in general, I would suggest not exposing port forwarding.

What services are running behind NGINX? What router/firewall are you using?

They are frequently targeted because they offer enterprise grade configurations at consumer prices.

Which means, there’s a lot that can be misconfigured, and a lot of short staffed and under budgeted IT departments that deploy them, which means they are a good payoff when exploited.

That’s the bad part, and the good part.

You really cannot beat their price point to value for professional grade networking equipment. Just take the time to understand what you’re doing when doing your configurations, and keep them updated.

Absolutely. Especially software that has to interface with specific hardware, which often times can have issues working properly with Windows VMs.

I can just dedicate some old hardware for baremetal Win10, but not everyone has that luxury.

That’s why humans have brains, for situational awareness.

And it’s less about not breaking for an animal, as it is about not wildly swerving.

Also, you should probably revise your thinking on this before you visit any states that have large animals like Moose on the roads. Because if you plow into one with a car, it can easily kill you when it crushes you after impact.

Yes, Monero fills a niche, and it’s the closest crypto asset to resemble a currency.

However, your previous post talked about replacing finance with Bitcoin. Even if we pretend you were talking about Monero, that just means you have a one world currency, and no one at the helm who can guide monetary policy for any one country.

You shouldn’t need a degree in finance or economics to understand how disastrous that would be, especially for smaller and poorer countries.

So, Bitcoin and the rest of crypto are all commodities, not currencies. They are commodities with a high environmental cost, and a floor of zero because they have no tangible assets to speak of.

Monero can fill a niche, and I’m actually happy about that because I like Monero and the principles behind the project. Unless of course you believe that includes delusions of grandeur and replacing all world currency and financial systems, with the magic of the “just the right crypto”.

What the fuck dude.

Why are you posting paintings that depict my O face?

This is like Victorian revenge porn.

This has to be a joke right? Satire?

I mean, it’s one thing to be a long on Bitcoin, or even just see it’s value as a niche commodity.

But suggesting Bitcoin mining is an energy efficient way to heat buildings, is capable of replacing global finance, or that it creates more tangible benefits than artisanal glass blowers…?

You know what I can do with a artisanal piece of glass? Hold it, use it, own it.

You know what I can do with Bitcoin? Speculate that if I hold on to it long enough, I can convert it to actual currency that can actually be used as a currency.

Unlike BTC, which is just a speculative commodity, with no tangible assets to provide an actual floor.

The floor on crypto is zero. If I buy a bunch of gold right now, even if the price crashes, I still have a bunch of gold.

I can see it now. This great AI mediator will reach the consensus that Eric Schmidt is correct. We shouldn’t worry about meeting our climate goals, we should cook the planet faster to accelerate AI development.

Eventually of course, the AI will save us.

Now some of you might think that’s a terrible idea, from bad actors, that simply suits their own greed.

Don’t worry. The new Google AI wouldn’t leave us without a backup plan.

That backup plan? If plan A fails, simply reduce human population by 35%.

Concerned about who will get picked for population reduction? Don’t worry, the AI has it covered…

Bitcoin was never meant to be legal tender, and it still isn’t.

The fact that it’s now a regulated commodity is pretty antithetical to its original purpose, but still, it doesn’t make it legal tender.

But setting all that aside, you’re right, monetary controls are pretty important tools of a nation state… And your alternative is what? A digital gold standard based on Bitcoin…?

That idea is so idiotic, that I can’t even start to write out the problems with it, because I wouldn’t stop.

You realize that this is a civil lawsuit right?

The only punitive action that can be taken, is monetary damages.

Unless you think that private entities, such as Alcon, should be allowed to privately prosecute criminal cases, with criminal penalties such as jail time…?

I’m not admitting to any crime. There are other ways to come into possession of blacklisted IMEI devices, and other ways for them to become blacklisted that don’t involve either of those scenarios.

Why don’t you go pull up all those FCC fines leveied on carriers for activating blacklisted phones.
