That's true. I certainly wouldn't say my post should be translated directly into legislation, but I think the basic idea is solid. We need to do something to eliminate the quick trading, increase shareholder liability to discourage risky behavior, and try to eliminate weird games where stocks are just used as casino chips.

If there was a way to enforce it I would also like to see the elimination of any automated buying/selling.

That's like someone in the 90s saying that they need to keep using NT servers because Linux as a server lacks certain NT features. When open source is on the heels of the proprietary options, it's not long before monetization requires much more than the software itself. While cloud platforms are glued together with all sorts of proprietary software, what they're really selling is scalable hardware. Most of the software is the same open source stuff you can run anywhere.

You might be paying for LLMs now, but in this race to the bottom the software itself will soon have little to no value. But it will always cost to run it, and that's what will really be monetized. LLMs just provide a new revenue stream for cloud computing. That might explain why Apple is in no rush to have a homegrown solution. With iCloud they decided that it was preferable to pay Oracle to run it.

Or for free, Tor browser.

Fortunately, the US has no enemies and nobody would ever think to use this for anything bad. Right?

No idea. But here I am just baiting.

Well, "getting worthless degrees" is indeed stupid. But there are degrees that are really not "worthless". Yes, I understand that you would not be able to get one of those...

Indeed. It is really, really hard to imagine anything more stupid and disconnected from reality. The Chinese are probably still incredulous at this extreme level of stupid. I mean, there is not even a remotely credible effort to keep them out.

You believe that? Cool, the propaganda is working! Incidentally, they can just ask for age-verification for any site for "reasons".

And, come on assholes! Waste some more precious mod-points on me! I dare you!

And how anybody can be so abysmally stupid as to mod this down will forever remain a mystery to me. I hope you fuckup at least got paid for that.

I mean, whenever you think people cannot get more stupid, you read something like that.

At least for anybody that resides in the EU or is an EU citizen.

Simple: By cheating! You just define that the Caesium vibrations are totally accurate and then you measure against that.

No honor among thieves. And these enterprises are just thieves that found out how to evade the law.

Does treason require intent? If so, it is probably only treason on MS side. They _will_ have known this is not secure and does not work to ensure security. If you can do stupid-treason, then yes, treason all around for everybody that made or supported this decision.
