Just to be clear, this is not a new way of thinking. Companies have been just letting people die horribly and calling it the cost of business for a long time. We just have new tools so they can do it faster and more publicly now

FrozenVent posted:Nah, because underwriters syndicate risks in such a way that they don’t have extreme exposure to any one claim. Correct, but when every single policy is turning into a payout in pretty short order they have a bit of a problem. Insurance is predicated on most people paying into it not actually cashing out

That may as well be an act of god, we're not covering." Yeah, as people are saying this is already happening. My question is if the people who are making the cost of doing business decisions realize that they are doing this to themselves They have the goose that lays golden eggs, and are squeezing it for all the gold NAO NAO NAO

Proud Christian Mom posted:its just not CEOs of shipping companies or whatever saying "this is cheaper, do it", the security products and services theyre buying are often fundamentally flawed because of cost cutting as well. for example, todays tweet thread about Kaspersky's Password Manager, which is basically useless https://twitter.com/matthew_d_green/status/1412411435842519049?s=20 I laugh at anyone using kaspersky anything. I remember a thing that just mysteriously vanished about a decade ago when they started getting big about the Russian government leaning on them to put in backdoor code, which made me distrust them,and really any Russia based security firm.

Mustang posted:I doubt many of the commanders would go along with it. A majority of officers have hated Trump since the moment he took office. I think the more likely outcome would be small numbers of troops showing up to stuff like the 1/6 insurrection rather than entire units defecting. In my opinion the modern US military is too diverse for something like that to happen. I've also observed that every marine unit has the one dude who explains whats going on to the rest of the unit, and that no, no matter how much you love Trump showing up to an insurrection is a bad idea. Usually from an entirely "breaking the rules is really bad, remember?" Stance that makes me laugh as a civilian

You can't do a whole lot other than call, text, and run your auth tokens, which most people are surprised to find is a subset of what they use their phones for.

Bill should be sent to the house that strips anyone who wants to pull the sovcit poo poo of their rights as a citizen, since thats what they want. Just make sure the bill is very very clear about which rights are those of citizens and which are human rights, since the law shouldn't strip people of human rights

Lmao there is a small problem with following the river that close The border doesn't actually follow the river, its as much as several miles away from it in quite a few places because the river has shifted so much in the hundred years or whatever since the border was last adjusted. My grandmother grew up on a farm that is on this side of the river, but the family lost it because its in Mexico now. We used to go down to the border and look at it when our parents were bored

lightpole posted:It would actually makes sense if the government really wanted a high degree of control. It doesn't have to be mined a la bitcoin, the government just programs it into existence instead of printing it, there would be no difference from physical money. Thats just a dumb name for it though. Thats not how cryptocurrency works. It has to be mined into existence, if it could just be programmed into existence then people WOULD just program it into existence.

lightpole posted:It is as long as people accept it as a medium for exchange. Currency is subjective but economists have a set of standards like fungible, widely accepted, stable, etc for it. Something like bitcoin rates poorly on a lot of these standards which is why I don't see it being widely adopted but there could be niche uses for it. instead of seeing currency as an object, just think of it as a value like mass, and suddenly we are back to just having bank accounts with a number in it that the government says is transferable value. and nothing has to change except getting rid of the physical tokens used to represent that value

Yeah, they have to have enough on hand so that if everyone suddenly decides they need to pull all their cash out, they have enough to keep handing out money til a new truck from the fed shows up. history shows that when banks have to tell customers that they don't actually have cash to fill their account, bad things happen in a cascading effect, so they took steps to avoid that

Cugel the Clever posted:It would be great if we got as proper, non-exploitative public banking system in the US, but the predatory payday lenders and even the sightly more legit banks have way too much influence for such to ever get through. I dream of a national ID system that proactively enrolls and issues IDs to all residents, with the IDs linked to basic bank accounts so no one has to ever touch cash again. Would completely undercut a whole swathe of businesses that are based exclusively on out-and-out exploration of their "customers". physical cash is good because you maybe don't want the government to be able to track all your transactions.
