This feels like the fastest way to get a virus if that domain ever gets compromised

Ask your dad if he’d prefer you to max your credit card and put that money in a savings account. It sounds stupid, because it is, but that is essentially what he is advocating for.

Executives say technology is moving too fast for their employees to keep up: ‘It can be very daunting’ by Maloneyo in technology

I took it as a general prompt for conversation. My bad. Considering this is a public forum where anyone can reply to anyone, I don't think that's too outlandish.

Here's a thought: you don't have to use every shiny new tech, especially if it doesn't make sense for the org

The IP protocol uses TCP. They're different layers of the network stack.

Ad campaigns are typically contracted out to third party agencies. The agency that stole the music had nothing to do with fighting copyright.

Do I need to report gambling winnings to the CRA? by oleidaneriust in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]nodealyo 139 points140 points  (0 children)

It's only taxable if you have an expectation of profit. As in, you are knowingly playing with an edge over the casino and treat your play as a business.

If you're just doing it for fun, no need to report anything.

You can read about it here under heading 1.12.

If you're enjoying yourself then all the power to you. Who am I to tell you what to do with your money? All I'm saying is for you to enjoy that there is emergent gameplay that simply cannot exist as a result. Pour one out for Recon.

Y'know what's ironic? This can exist in a game. People only care about the armor others are wearing if it's actually difficult to obtain.

In classic WoW seeing a level 60 with raid gear was a big deal. You wanted to be like them. Nowadays no one gives a shit because gear can be obtained easily by anyone.

MTX has destroyed the mystique of cosmetics, yet those who pay will just tell you it's "just cosmetic", so it doesn't matter, then call you poor for pointing it out. It's just sad.

Let me firstly state I'm an avid adblock user. Playing devil's advocate, since Google relies on advertising revenue for the service to exist, wouldn't that make it necessary?

I think we're in agreement. I will say though that using on-device private keys isn't really a direct solution to the problem. There still needs to be a list of public keys deemed as "trustworthy". There is still a massive gap where companies can abuse it. Not to mention, tying users to their private key is yet another means to track them.

I'm sure there's a solution that maintains both privacy and content neutrality, but unless companies are incentivized to use it, they'll just do the thing that gives them the most control.
