    I had the feeling you omitted it on purpose. I am also shocked there are people here who never tried linux. MS is part of the enemy. Not as evil as google, but still evil. And they have backdoors for the CIA to access your computer

    Ancient, very robust, command line app store for linux. Worth noting that there are guis that sit on top of it.

    Oh absolutely. Google is just a "wow I was not aware it was possible to stoop that low" company. It is basically like apt-get but for windows. And there is a GUI version too. https://community.chocolatey.org/packages/chocolateygui

    Most recent thing I know of is that youtube is now putting ads on all videos. Previously marking a video as non monetized meant "no ads" Now it means "ads that you don't get paid for" Additionally they will insert them where their algorithm thinks they should go. So creators need to go through...

    My bad there. I mixed up company names. MS is one of the companies that actually pays dividends so their stocks are real investment and not a scam. Google indeed pays 0 though microsoft dividend history https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/Investor/dividends-and-stock-history.aspx google dividend...

    I can see the argument, but in a ponzi scheme old investors are paid by new investors. which is how vast majority of stocks works. So I guess it is a hybrid between the two... And technically there do exist some rare stocks that are a true investment. But you gotta read the fine print.

    No, what you are describing is an "anti dilution clause". most companies do not have those. Even if they do use anti dilution clause, there are different methods to do so. There are two methods here. The less common one is "full ratchet" which ONLY protects preferred stock and does NOT protect...

    It is. But then they realized they could legally scam people instead. IIRC there were some law changes too that made it easier to defraud people with non voting non dividend "stocks" According to this 2002 article from forbes forbes.com/2002/04/03/0403dividends.html?sh=657440035dc1 With many...

    Stock market is literally a ponzi scheme. Tesla stock (like vast majority of stock) is NON VOTING. this means you are not buying part ownership of the company. You are only buying part of the income... on paper... But... it has no guaranteed buyback value, and has never ever paid a single cent...

    thinking about it... We today have: A. concrete roads B. asphalt roads C. dirt roads I bet the romans had cheaper roads that were used for less important areas. It is just those cheap roads did not survive 2000 years into the present.

    Tanks routinely crack roads. And roman roads should handle it better. Modern road: > Gravel and Glue (asphalt) > Compacted earth (heavy equipment) Roman road > Big solid rock slabs > Gravel > compacted earth (by hand) We also have the tech to build much better roads the romans since we have...

    There are videos of roman roads being used by cars today. and they do last longer. Although they are also showing some sign of wear from the heavy cars driving across them. I think this is less of "roman engineering" and more of "roman budgets" Our stuff is built to be cheap for mass...

    I also watched him when he was doing pop culture and stopped when he went political Although it was a different video than roe v wade. Don't remember which one anymore. Maybe rittenhouse? maybe something else.

    Yes... actually, looking further. "A study found that tictoc is a significant driver of antisemitism" is Anthony Goldbloom interpretation of a survey. His actual source is a survey by generation labs. The survey asked thirteen hundred americans for their political views, and which platforms...

    A "study" "found" they are a "meaningful driver of". That does not mean "they are pushing" It means "they are not censoring what we tell them to censor".
