Magical thinking! You may as well recommend the government prints more money and give it to everybody...

In FY2025, the U.S. federal deficit was $1.78 trillion, with total revenue at $5.23 trillion, so clearly it's a majority of revenue.

It won't need to be cancelled, it won't charge $200 to unwilling customers, don't spread false rumors. They'll even pause whatever plan we already are on and paid for.

I don't get these negative comments for them giving free credits. Either it's "Not many people fit these criteria" or "A ploy for more customers". It can't be both, and I believe it's neither. It's a nice gesture, in line with Github Copilot and JetBrains. Disclosure: I have free Copilot and just applied for 20x Pro.

Yes. It lives in a standard 2D grid, but it starts on a single line.

The part you are quoting is being removed. The policy used to state "If you contribute un-reviewed LLM generated...", now simply states "If you use an LLM to make any kind of contribution then you will immediately be banned without recourse."

Did you read the policy? "If you use an LLM to make any kind of contribution..."

The devil in the details. Pix allows you to give your account nb, but also email or phone to locate. Vendors can produce a QR code which embeds the destinator as well as the amount to be paid. Pix feels quicker than IBAN to IBAN. Very importantly, Pix is available even without a bank account. Opening a bank account is quite challenging and expensive for non-residents, among others.

You are missing the point. He (hopefully) won't trust the callerID to be the bank, but he will trust a "random" callerID to not be his bank/important.

Europeans smoke more than Americans

Hosts can cancel, but they are subject to their cancelation penalties (according to the level they've chosen for guests) plus there is an automatic "review" added stating that "This host cancelled a booking X days in advance". Unless X is very big, I run away from those listings.

Of course. The number of professors in academia remains more or less constant. So each university professor should have, over the course of all their career, a single student that will end up in academia. All the other students have to quit at some point.

That is such an over-simplistic criteria! Proof by the absurd: pass your code through an obfuscator / simplifier and the output won't be affected.

> it feels like you could have said the same towards people buying pricy concert tickets when there's royalty free music abundantly available.

The analogy holds. Most people don't pay concert tickets for the music itself. It's the experience, the crowd, the physical presence of the artists, etc.

I think OP's point is that people aren't (directly) paying for Pornhub, although I realize some people are paying some site that make porn, but the amounts remain smaller than what people pay directly on OF.
