People used to laugh at me when I said America, as a leader and superpower, died when Trump won the first time. We have just been going forward due to inertia, but the bill will come due soon I fear

You underestimate conservatives

What do you think they think when they see an AOL email

That actually explains this stupidity doesn’t it …

So not any amount then. My point stands

Absolutely my point

It’s not a statement out of ignorance and it’s not a lie. Most people don’t try to move huge money around so I’ll illustrate what I had to go through - I had a huge sum of money I had in an online investing company. I had a very time critical situation I needed the money for, so I cashed out my investments - the company only cashed out via check sent via registered mail (maybe they did transfers for smaller amounts, but for the sum I had it was check only). It took almost two weeks for me to get that check. When I deposited that check with my bank, the bank had a mandatory 5-7 business day wait to clear (once again, smaller checks they deposit immediately and then do the clearing process - BIG checks they don’t do that, so I had to wait another week). Once cleared, I had to move the money to another bank, and guess what - I couldn’t take that much cash out, daily transfers are capped at like $1500 or whatever they were, so I had to get a check from the bank. The other bank made me wait another 5-7 business day as well, because the check was just too damn big.

4 weeks it took me to move huge money around, and of course I missed the time critical thing I really needed the money for.

I’m just a random person, not a business, no business accounts, etc. The system just isn’t designed for small folk to move big money

I have a dirty suspicion that the “where’s the ROI?” talking point is actually a calculated and collaborated strategy by big wall street banks to panic retail investors to sell so they can gobble up shares at a discount - trump is going to be pumping (at minimum) hundreds of BILLIONS into these companies in the near future.

Call me a conspiracy guy, but I’ve seen this playbook many many times

I disagree - before Bitcoin there was no venmo, cashapp, etc. It took weeks to move big money around. I’m not saying shit like NFT’s ever made sense, and meme coins are fucking stupid - unfortunately the crypto world has been taken over by scammers - but don’t shit on the technology

Honestly none of this means anything at the moment. This might be some sort of calculated trickery from China to give Nvidia the finger, or Biden the finger, or a finger to Trump’s AI infrastructure announcement a few days ago, or some other motive.

Maybe this “selloff” is masterminded by the big wall street players (who work hand-in-hand with investor friendly media) to panic retail investors so they can snatch up shares at a discount.

What I do know is that “AI” is a very fast moving tech and shit that was true a few months ago might not be true tomorrow - no one has a crystal ball so we all just gotta wait and see.

And that mathematician won’t see the profits for that faster algorithm and you will never hear their name - shits been happening in tech for decades

Yeah exactly, they will bend over backwards to support trump because they see him as an alley of Zionism

Listen to what you’re saying man - Spinless coward is gonna spineless coward, and he showed us he is a spinless coward - can’t trust a person with no integrity.

Typical Divide and conquer - Stop demonizing people who work for a living - it’s no different than demonizing every single American because of US foreign policy. Blame those at the top making their greedy decisions and the puppet masters behind them.

I find most of the defaults are fine and get the job done, but I also understand the tinkerer types who like working on a super custom setup that’s theirs.

I still use old big iron unix boxes from the 90’s, but most of the time I Install the GNU versions of stuff like ls, sed, cat etc because they are so much more feature rich (and just about any modern software/script assumes GNU versions of those tools anyway)

One would think the CEO class would want to pay the snitch, but they know they can just say “the snitch was taken care of very generously”, never actually give the snitch a dime - the general public will not follow up and will be convinced the snitch was payed good

So it seems we found the snitch

The snitch probably will never see a dime from the reward, you need to provide info on very specific ways to be able to collect. What a dumb fuck. I hope we get to find out who the snitch was, I have my theories…

I wish I could be on the jury for this one (if he’s caught and not unalived by cops)

Yeah, I woulda thought this guy is a scammer and too would have moved on
