Of course if those aren't securities, then the entire site is illegal as it's operating as a securities exchange. That's their legal argument for why they aren't gambling sites, and shouldn't be regulated by state gaming commissions. So expect the full might of all those prediction market sites to be lining up against that argument and for finding him guilty.
I have no use for social media content enhancing crap from Meta. I just want to be able to pay for Instagram with no recommendations and with a chronological feed.
They had serious opposition because they can't feed their people and they were going to have to start giving real concessions and maybe even some semblance of democracy.
Yeah, their slaughtering of possibly tens of thousands of protesters was clearly a sign of upcoming concessions.
Dictators lose when they make concessions. They stay in power when they double down. That's the hard lesson of a hundred years or so of dipshits becoming big boss by military coup or revolution. Those who put absolutely every penny into propaganda and oppression tend to hang on to power the longest.
And given what the IRGC and the regime have done to the Iranian people and how much they're loved in the rest of the world, staying in power is literally a life-or-death matter for them. The day the regime falls, we'll see all the Ayatollahs and minions hanging from trees.
We will see how much Iran has beaten down their people and if any resistance still remains with the internet now slowly being restored.
We likely won't.
They made it very clear that they are monitoring and restricting Internet access, and the fact that even during an active war they went on to sentence and hang protesters makes it abundantly clear what will happen to anyone sharing information with the world that they'd rather not see on the world news.
Also, most cell towers do have generators and/or battery backups,
I've never seen generators on cell towers, and the batteries last a few hours. They're meant to cover the occasional western world power outage, not a major one.
Oh no... they are in danger.
AT&T added that transitioning from copper will save an estimated 300 million kilowatt-hours annually
Yepp, one of the reasons being that POTS will work even during power outages, as long as the central switches are powered. Your VoIP will be down if your house has no power. It probably is more efficient, but that "saving" is also simply shifting some of the power usage to consumers.
Scalping isn't, and shouldn't be, illegal. You own the ticket, you should be able to do what you want with it, including reselling it.
And no, getting rid of scalpers wouldn't make ticket prices higher. Scalpers exist because the concert ticket prices are lower than what the market will actually bear. If a theater full of people are willing to pay 1K for a concert and they sell the ticket for 500, a scalper can make a profit via arbitrage. The only actual way to get rid of scalpers is to raise the prices to the sky (like 2-5x current prices) and slowly bring down prices over time until they're all sold. But my guess is you probably wouldn't like that any better, as the end price would likely be higher than the current scalpers price.
The market is a wet dream of manufacturers, of course. Already knowing that for all the forseable future however much you can produce will be sold at very good prices - amazing.
Until the house of cards comes down. Most of the stuff ordered is, as someone put well into a meme, money that doesn't yet exist buying chips that don't yet exist for data centers that have not yet been built.
That is highly speculative.
Github was probably being used because someone in government considers it COTS software from a reliable American corporation. Those people who used to insist on using IIS instead of Apache are still around!
They were playing nice until someone started bombing them.
In which alternate reality?
Iran is not "a", but "the" supporter and financier behind Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis and a bunch of other militias and trouble sources in the region. So no, they were absolutely not playing nice, even if you ignore all the atrocities inside Iran.
I could make the same claim about Trump's regime, too.
Yes, but Trump's will go in 3 years by itself. The IRGC regime will not.
The big tech CEOs lined up to kiss Donald Trumpâ(TM)s ass and donate to his various grifts. Now heâ(TM)s started an unwinnable war and itâ(TM)s biting them on the ass. I hope Iran starts extracting millions of dollars a day from American tech companies and using the money to pay bad actors to hack other American companies. It will teach American business leaders a good lesson.
To get accepted into Harvard (as an undergrad) a person usually needs a cumulative GPA above 4.0, a very high SAT school, participation in multiple extracurricular activities, fluency in multiple languages, excellent writing skills, and it helps to excel at playing an instrument. Shouldn't it be expected that all of these people are capable of getting high grades? It seems like the problem here is Harvard's faculty forgetting that the school only accepts the best of the best. I would think that something is terribly wrong if most Harvard students were not earning A grades in all of their classes.
The longer the title, the less important the job.
