You can buy the "potatoes" with Nightwave credits (which you earn doing in game tasks for those not familiar with Warframe). No need to spend any premium currency.

Isn't that what influencers do all day? Brag about the number of followers and then insist you give them products or services they promise to talk about?

The federal government could launch a social media platform for all citizens of the US to use. Being a part of the government and a public utility it would be subject to first amendment requirements.

Of course, that would mean a tax supported government program.

Your move, republicans.

So now China can just say we are purposely provoking them after one of their APTs adjusts the tool to trick the US into allowing actions that provoke them. Or they can just go low tech and overreact to everything.

If you need a computer to tell you if you're annoying someone, you've got a bigger problem to solve.

Rent a room somewhere and contract someone to stick a sign on it. Good luck getting any human being to man it. Nothing pays well enough to be the person Putin has arrested when the home office still tells Russia to f*ck right off.

When corporations are making demands of governments instead of the other way around it gets easier to see how much of an oligarchy we've become.

... shut it down if it becomes the slightest bit successful. Can't have people outside the party getting influential.

Fraud isn't condoned by the first amendment.

Seriously. The company known for hiring highly educated people to work on its algorithm are going to pull an "I didn't know" like they're a 5 year old?

This is the same company that hasn't done anything (meaningful) about the child port on Kik. Does this mean Imgur is the next peadohaven or is it already one and they figure it aligns with their other properties?

Good luck finding anyone willing to staff it. Hell, I'll bet they could go in with all the other "giants" and get a shared (empty) space.

The only problem is that most Credit Unions I've spoken with only allow accounts for personal use, not business. A little ebay selling on the side probably wouldn't pose a problem, but if you're running enough money through there to live on, they might close the account or cancel your membership outright.

Well they no longer have the PayPal option. They can piss into the wind until they get dropped from eBay or find a solution to their problem they can live with.

Turns out banks don't typically restrict their customers to a single account. If you're worried about eBay having access to your account, open a new one, set eBay to use that, and move out any money they put in there. Keep only the minimum necessary to keep the account open.

If Qualcomm follows their usual plan, these things will be junk in 2-3 years with no resale value and no upgrade path.
