This is a naive question but I've always wondered, what motivates people who distribute pirated content for free?

I get why someone would consume pirated content but why would someone take the risk of publishing pirated content? Is it the ad traffic that the publishers get?

Huh. Why did they not include communication (Gmail) data?

Yeh. But trust me, it'll be ready to be on market in 3 months.

Make it "punishable by up to 5% of global turnover over last three years" (kinda similar to GDPR) and stand back and see how quickly Google (I'm looking at you too Facebook, and Amazon) will change their shit show. India is at a position of strength wrt Google, Amazon, and Fb to easily force them to play nice. Now if only they realized it.

A little off track rant but the tax and health policies of USA are super freaking unbelievable. Why on Earth can one not be eligible for a HSA when they don't have a HDHP? The healthcare is screwed up. The least you could let people do is use their pre tax monies for the health treatments.

And don't even get me started on FSA and forfeiture. That's MY money. What the hell do you mean the amount is forfitted?

Apologies for my language. The policies are making me go crazy.

I'm really asking out of ignorance here: What's wrong with credit cards other than the fact that they don't bill my account immediately (which might actually be an advantage sometimes?)

Oh yeah. Sorry, confused the title with War Dogs.

Definitely one of my favorites! (Both movies are)

I bank with SoFi. 2.25% APY on a checking (like) account. $1.5M FDIC insured (not that I care/need it). Access to practically ALL ATMs. Beautiful app.

I use Uber Visa Credit Card, which is free, which auto pays itself from my SoFi, with helluva lot benefits: 4x dining, 3x travel.

Why should I use Point?

But then again, unless you're setting up your own VPN infra, I don't trust anyone with my data.

If you've set up your own infra, deets please!

Reminds me of "White Collar" (TV series). It was probably based on this true story. I wonder if they really burned art.
