Yeah, really. What's the point of a "one-way ticket" for your cash?

Hey all you Libertarian Crypto-Boomer Squawks! What would your objections be, if the FTC or Treasury made a consumer protection rule, that all public ATM BTC financial machines must be bidirectional? In other words, public BTC "buy only" automations -- let's call them Madoff Machines -- are considered a public nuisance and would be illegal; they would need to be modified to allow redemption as well. And of course, transactions in both directions must happen in accordance with whatever regulations also apply, just as happens now with cash. (Private-use P.O.C. models built by hobbyists with Legos would be exempt.)

OK, go ahead and squawk away -- telling me how this basic priniciple of fairness violates your right to whatever and how it will lead to tyranny.

Oh wait, the nature of BTC doesn't support this symmetrical convenience? Oh well, not my problem. Maybe you can go pull a fast one in El Salvador instead.

Yep, it's time for *customer sentiment* to weigh in on mergers like this, and perhaps++ affect the valuation.

WIth that thought in mind -- how about using the (relatively) new *Mozilla VPN* as an alternative, now that they're shaking out the bugs?

If neither spoofed-Bob nor Pornhub are "behind" the GFW, why should it respond at all, instead of just doing the normal annoying firewall-thing of simply dropping the packets?

And if spoofed-Bob IS behind GFW - ie, an "internal user" - then the vendor/provider has good incentive to fix the middle-boxen ASAP.

Where does Blockchain fit into this? How can someone announce a modern initiative without some tie-in to Crypto, like new IKEA-coins?

Because these are results from tests made by the Pfizer vendor regarding their product. They don't claim to be sampling the entire marketplace; maybe CDC or WHO or FDA (etc) can step upto the plate for that comparison.

And along those lines, I'm only speaking for myself - not for you too. That would be much more work, needing more discussion and possibly not reaching any conclusion-convergence.

...because this new stuff is better in so many ways?

But all bets are off when it comes to SWISS-German. I've met a number of CH-natives that prefer switching to English for correspondance rather than deal with the comlexities of their base language Deutsch. The "word part" is only the first part of the reading story, just wait until you get to the grammar.

Under what circumstances would you (gripers) then recommend to produce and release open source software, such that you would get some payback if a comparable windfall occurred partly based on your work?

"Open source, but with strings attached?"
What does Richard Stallman think about this?

I bought an Epson XP-830 after reading it was a "best buy" in Consumer Reports.
Maybe they should include this ink refill topic in their ratings?
That said, I have no complaints and the operating costs seem reasonable.

Maybe the Yucca-killers don't like the idea of "waste" which must be isolated for many thousands of years. I don't like it either. Now, there's a lot of hand-waving missivls thrown about - like "don't worry about it" and "you're misinformed" - but at least some people have been talking about using Yucca for reprocessing this so-called waste, instead the throw-away cultural perspective.

I thought it was the other way around. Fox News replaces Fux News pornography, then suddenly all the new-Republican non-trophy wives can look up to Sarah Sanders for inspiration how to be servile.

But in earlier days, "Deep Throat" was the ANTIDOTE to "Deep State".

There's a big difference between "not adequate" and "useless".

Eg, "sunshine is useless because you can't get a suntan at night" is effectively what you just said.

So one preventative defense mechanism now is - have lots and lots of encrypted conversations, including many deceptive nonsense discussions, such that future decryptors still face the challenge of determining which ones were real in the first place.

Sometimes the test is simply whether you can simply stick to the topic and discuss accordingly, even if you have cause and preference to "go meta" and show that (to you), said topic is less relevant.
