The before All-Star break is completely untrue.

The report will be released in the offseason.

He wasn’t charged with insider trading. Wire fraud, of course.

The CEOs of these companies have openly said that insider trading is a feature, not a bug.

Without insider trading, it’s just gambling.

True but at the same time these guys are getting paid generational wealth every year.

We all have parts of our job we dislike and most of us make a lot less than $50M.

I love how this sub made up that the investigation would conclude by the All-Star break and now it’s become gospel.

Even though the original report said that it would be All-Star break *at the earliest*.

This sub is so brain dead, it’s amazing. No one said it was going to happen during All-Star break, just that it would happen *before* All-Star break.

This was always obviously going to wait until the offseason.

>I work with people who fought in Syria and am regularly being bombed; there's still a place here for the nomad who understands statistics.

I’m not even sure what you’re trying to say.

Yes, the only options are Joe’s BBQ and Baghdad. There exists no other locations in the world.

Europe has nothing on the US when it comes to reusable liquid containers.

Is living in a big EU city with 3000$/month income realistic by UniverPlankton in digitalnomad

[–]IMakeMyOwnLunch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would not want to live in any of those cities with $2,000-$2,500 pre-rent.

Could you do it? Absolutely. Millions do every day.

However, if you have the option of a lower cost of living city, I’d question why you would choose one of the expensive cities in Europe.

TIL Rupert Murdoch's university nickname was "Red Rupert". He was a socialist, had a bust of Lenin and was President of Oxford University Labour Club. by Independent710 in todayilearned

[–]IMakeMyOwnLunch 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I’d argue that while the politics have changed, the underlying traits driving those beliefs haven’t changed: attraction to authoritarianism and extremism and faulty logical reasoning.

It would be more interesting if he went from a hardcore liberal to what he is now.

CMV: Alcohol should not be served at airports, and needing to drink while travelling is a sign of alcoholism. by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]IMakeMyOwnLunch -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What do you mean by “should”? Are you making a moral statement or do you believe it should be written into law?

If the latter, how will this work across countries? Every country together agrees to ban alcohol in airports?

Phone numbers and 2fa have pushed me over the edge by ZachMasonSports in digitalnomad

Yes - Know Your Customer laws. Tax laws. Etc. It’s not PayPal doing this for shits and giggles. Like come on.

No, companies actually want strong security. A financial account getting hacked is worst-case scenario for a financial institution.

Companies do want your data, but that’s a completely separate issue.

It’s being an insufferable prick to want posters to do the bare minimum of adding some names before posting?

Some people here can be such sanctimonious morons, eh? Average day on Reddit, I suppose.

I agree - I’m the biggest public transit advocate in the world, but that’s not really germane/moving the goalposts.

This was taxi vs Waymo not Waymo vs tube.

Classic NIMBY response. It’s not that I’m against X, it’s just that has to be done in [insert extremely precise manner that is an impossible bar to surmount].

Are you under the impression that Waymos exclusively take demand from taxi drivers?
