I assume there's a financial cost for doing this? I assume gold reserves in others coffers act as collateral so having them at home makes them a lot less useful financially useful?

This has always been an option pre-AI (block MS, block Google, etc). They never done that before why would they do that now?

Do you really think these details drastically change how people should judge his actions vs those of a corporation?

You don't think society has mostly trended towards "everyone but those nearest to us"? You dont think solitude is related to this? Or antisocial behavior and opinions?

How do you know it's low paid? Why not tip 100%? You seem very certain about parent invalid reason as well as your own assumptions. Please enlighten us

What's the difference between this and how its been done till now?

When sourcing you'd typical prepare a same request and email the supliers similarly looking emails and they - if interest on business - would respond and start a back and forth.

If anything now there will be more business. Filtering and triaging was always an issue you'd have to deal with and if the cost of dealing with small order is too high you just stop taking those and filter out large orders

> backlash is good

Because pre-AI, slop didnt exist? At least in the past meaningful criticism involved much more than name calling. I guess criticism slop is a natural progression and matches low effort creative slop. 0 moral higher ground

AI slop accusations are tiring, spammy, and most of the time without any evidence to back it up other than prejudice and bad attitude[0]

Id argue the true source of poor culture is this globalized bland/blended talking points and memes that propagate 24/7/365 over multimedia comunication. Boring "hipster" cafes found in burkina faso and new york is just one manifestation of this.

Example of how easily humans are biased by the bubble they live in and start projecting assumptions everywhere (seemingly against their own interest).

Please provide evidence of relationship of pi/earendil to peter thiel.

I also suggest that if you believe peter thiel relationship with anything is a nuisance then - maybe - try avoiding gut-assigning links of anything in the world to him. you maybe see things in more positive light and it would be fairer to those things.

Peter thiel doesnt own tolkien work. The world is bigger than one mans bias

There's alot of overestimating on the need and value of "services". There's decades of teaching that service economy is the pinacle of advanced economies. Middle management bloat is "advanced service economy". And what is happening is an end of a myth

Imo it is not controversial that intent to destroy evidence is ilegal is most reasonable jurisdictions.

Now, is this what's at stake here? Evidence of what? Surely at some point, clear allegations need to me made for which the content of the phone is evidence for.

There's alot of speculation of what the indicted person was involved in, or motives of the border agents. Or the insinuation that the tooling that allowed the alleged destruction of evidence is (or should be) ilegal or indications of nefarious intent by those who use such tools. This is all BS.

Am I missing something?
