It’s way more profitable to audit corporations than fight Eastern European crackers and Asian “distributors”

Beat those drums, hawks.

Also can’t report on how dreadfully ineffective the strikes are, because that would look bad for those who called them in.

When everything is high viz with flashing lights and alerts, nothing is high-viz.

NK is a bad enough place to visit without worrying about everything. It’s the ultimate in mismanagement.

Management says it must happen, so it happens, or we tell them it’s happened. When someone gets hurt because it actually didn’t happen, there’s a cover up.

MS pulled access to the azure environment of a (Russian owned) bank in NL and despite NL court orders asking for the data to be made accessible, it took diplomacy and a US court order to get access. This was not during trump admin.

We’ve been saying “this would never happen” and trump admin has slowly been shifting the Overton window.

Yep one of the big drivers is flexibility in capex vs opex. They’ll shape the contract whichever way you want but on prem is straight to capex. I think. I’m not an accountant.

I think in Canada they’ve been trying to reach people to remind them the church doesn’t forbid vaccination, but they’re not exactly recommending it, because freedumb. And also general distrust of the government. That community doesn’t have a lot of education and they speak Plattdeutsch so it can be hard to reach them.

It’s hard to downsize, and it may not always be affordable. In my part of the world, because of a few reasons between markets and mortgages, a 350m2 house is worth 80-90% as much as a 175m2 house. If the house has been in the family for 30 years that makes it worse because the house isn’t “updated”, so it’s possible to halve the living space and end up with a tax bill for your trouble.

Right? They figured that out a decade or so later.

The US was in possession of the data but likely wanted the scientists to provide context in the same way they wanted the experience of the nazi rocket scientists. But lifetime immunity and a cover up is a horrible way to deal with the problem.

The US government made several deals with some inhuman characters after the war. Yes, the science was (potentially) valuable, because there is no way that a moral human would perform the experiments, but granting immunity may have been too much. It’s past time that these people are recognized for what they are.

In fairness to the French, there is actually very little data to support the benefits of flossing.

As with a surprising amount of dental care and practice. Lots of money to be made doing it and hey, it’s low-risk, right?

150 year half-life in aquatic environments.

Also, just because it’s not officially used doesn’t mean it’s not unofficially used; I’m sure there were some barrels that went missing here and there.

India continues to manufacture it and China only stopped in 2007.

[…]it’s not about the Canadians or Americans. This is about one guy. That will not stop them from coming,”

It’s about 70 million people, and the additional 80 million who were silent.

That’s the car I was thinking of specifically. Wasn’t a good time overall for Mercedes though, to be fair.

Less inequality and better education are really the only solution.

People reach for extremism when they feel let down by the existing system.

They’ve been building them in USA for a long time. Things may have changed, but when they first started building overseas instead of Europe, the reports were that you could totally tell. Creaks, groans, and rattles. Personally, with my tiny sample sizes, this holds true.

The average buyer doesn’t really care as long as their leased Mercedes makes them look like they are successful.
