It's more like a marathon, sure you're in a race but people don't really care about your position in it unless you're near the front. Completing it on its own gives a feeling of achievement

You should consider adding DNS checks prior to WHOIS. Whois is unreliable and you can be quickly blocked, doing a quick SOA DNS request can help reduce your WHOIS queries when the domain definitely exists (no SOA is not enough to confirm domain is unregistered but existing SOA is enough to confirm a domain is registered)

I don't think a banks email being there indicates they use the service, more likely a customer of theirs uses TeleMessage and as a result the comms between that bank customer and the bank are in the breach

"Wealth inequality, while high, is still roughly where it was in 2007"

This is not whats represented in the source you cited?

In the graph titled "Top 10% and Bottom 50% Wealth Shares in The UK 1900-2020" you can clearly see the wealth owned by the top 10% increased from 54.4% in 2007 to 57% in 2020 and likely even higher now 5 years later.

The voting system (FPTP) in the US results in a two party system which isn't representative of a good democratic system imo. Considering all of the different political divides I don't think two parties sufficiently cover the spectrum of opinions/stances.

To say the British monarchy "owns" Canada and Australia is comical

Nooo don't double leverage, hedge your bet by betting you won't get out of debt :)

The idea is that people will be more interested in saving with a low interest rate with the chance to win more than having the higher interest rate.

In Ireland the state runs this thing called prize bonds which is a similar idea https://www.statesavings.ie/help-support/help-articles/how-d...

I think the Taylor Swift example is more awkward - to have an award named after you and then given to you and never given to anyone else!

At the top of the homepage there's a menu bar with categories, if you scroll all the way to try right of that there's a "new to you" option. Try it out :)

Hong Kong handover is not recent and I don't see how you can claim it has "gone badly for local residents".

I held mainly dollars on the exchange at the time. I see your point regarding the crypto holders on the exchange though.

I think a cap on bet sizes is reasonable but typically platforms outright ban pros. A bookie can only go out of business to pros if they are terrible at setting the odds
