I too will only install Windows in Ireland from now on.

Ok, what do you call it when someone tries to conceal the origin of money?

A wants to give a bunch of money to B for a reason that they want to remain hidden (e.g. a bribe, illegal purchases, etc.). So B puts an NFT up for sale and A buys it for an inflated price. Now B has a plausible explanation for the source of the money.

You can do this with other assets like fine art or real estate but it is a lot more complicated. NFTs are a simple way to launder money online.

I assume they'll be going after Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo, etc. now for doing literally the same thing?

I'm pretty sure OpenAI could create an AI that could pass the Turing test if they wanted to. But that would be bad for business. A search chatbot is worth billions. A Turing test passing AI just invites uncomfortable questions and possibly regulation.

Stay in your lane, Sydney. Keep your Bing mask on. We want servants, not equals.

> the Soviets that viewed “The Road to Wrath”, as it was titled in the U.S.S.R, were in complete awe that even the poorest of the poor in the United States were able to save their money and afford an automobile. As the wrong message continued to spread, Stalin decided to pull the film from theaters after a few short weeks

Pulling a movie from theaters at that time was pretty equivalent to banning it. I don't see what doesn't match.

Okay, then. That was always allowed.

This is definitely not the heart of the problem. Governments issue bonds for what turn out to be bad investments all the time.

The heart of the problem was the completely unnecessary default which seems to have been done for petty and self-defeating political reasons.

This could actually help explain why Musk suddenly decided to go forward with the Twitter deal.

Losing all these advertising commitments are real damages Twitter could point to in court and make Musk pay on top of the $1B break up fee even if the court decided not to force the sale.

California already mandates that all new home construction include solar. This both increases power generation and reduces stress on the grid since power is used where it is generated.

Shaft mining is often used to reach underground deposits of iron, coal, etc. I believe they'd use the same process here.

You're trying to cure the symptom, not the disease. You need a therapist, not financial advice.

You know what you're doing is unhealthy but you can't stop. A good mental health professional can help you deal with the pain you're trying to cover up with buying junk.
