Fintech is a real thing, but briefly it's basically a Silicon Valley startup trying to do financial services.

Note that the Silicon Valley strategy of "move fast and break things" has serious drawbacks when dealing with people's money and health, and that's why we ended up with Theranos, Synapse, Wirecard, and FTX, and that's ignoring the actual scam companies, and not even touching on the code bugs which are plentiful in fintech (not just security bugs, also payment bugs).

People responsible were fined and fired, in addition to a corporate fine.

I don't think banks will want to try this one again, but as always you should only have limited trust in banks (that is, trust them as much as you trust FDIC and the law).

There was quite a bit, but the sales was targeted at the extreme Republican holdouts. They REALLY don't care about California votes.

If he's seriously pointing a fully loaded gun at other people, he needs a gun safety class, not a reelection.

"No. That is a rare skillset."

It's less rare now than ever before, and becoming less rare thanks to howtos and cheap equipment.

As we have seen, the 2a nuts mostly don't do shit. The only time he's allegedly been attacked is one of the most obvious false flag operations of all time. I wish I were shocked to see so many on this site fall for it, but I already knew there were loads of idiots here.

This EXACTLY. They are getting NOTHING. In fact they are losing everything, and owning themselves HARDER than "the libs." And they're asking for it to happen more.

Apparently the bill just passed, so it looks like they are getting it.

You never worked in a shop, I take it.

Not given how bad you are at explaining it, no.

Science is the study of, if you are religious, HOW God hung it up there. In no way does that fundamentally conflict with the idea of religion.. However, it can easily conflict with some religions when they are stupid enough to try to describe science even though that's not what they are for.

If you are a maggot, yes, except you only read scientific journals to find out what to be mad about because you don't understand it.

I bought a $300 laptop almost two years ago, it still does all the things I want it to do, and quickly too. It's got a 2C4T AMD and I was able to upgrade the RAM to 8GB with a perfectly matching used module from eBay for $15. (IME they have to match exactly for modern integrated video to work reliably.) It's no game console, but video encode and decode work well.

None of those things you listed are open to the general public, so there is no reason not to use a self signed certificate.

Too bad you haven't read any studies about the impact of DEI on scientific output, despite your opinion that you know or care about science.

DEI is the center position for the pendulum. The extremes are whites only and no whites. Certain racist shitlords have convinced the median dumbshit that DEI is an extreme.
