Our leaders are attempting to start a nuclear war, after twenty years of disastrous wars that have enriched armaments manufacturers while murdering millions of innocents.
Working people haven't had a raise since 1971.
We spend twice as much on health care as any other nation, but only Peru, Brazil, and several nations in Eastern Europe had worse results from covid. All of Africa cared for covid cases better than we did.
This is what Schneier calls a "movie-plot threat". Instead of imagining a complicated narrative that connects a poor credit score with episodes of control fraud, improve internal controls so that individual contributors don't have the ability to steal from customers. This would be safer, and more considerate of your colleagues.
Given the success of Turkish drones against older Russian weaponry during the recent conflict in Artsakh, maybe the Turks could be convinced to test the drones against more modern versions? Although your point is correct, that the time to have arranged this has passed.
USA unsupervised services created Daesh, and supplied most of its weapons. This was done to destabilize Assad, and of course to enrich the weapons manufacturers. The idea that Assad and Daesh were ever allies is bizarre.
And what happens if project A pins projects B and C, which in turn pin DIFFERENT versions of project D? Is there any language or environment out there that can make that work?
Node and npm have always been able to do this. Once upon a time this was accomplished via very hierarchical node_modules directories. This caused some issues, so the directory was flattened, however the multi-version compatibility was always maintained.
In other contexts, the best ways to deal with trade-offs use randomness. Perhaps this sort of stunt would cause less damage if npm just randomly chose which versions to use. To avoid churn, the random choices could be stored in lockfiles. The point would be that not everyone is using the newest version of any particular package.
The "light" you've "shed" might be relevant in some idealized scenario. How does anyone (issuing bank, acquiring bank, Upwork, or contractor) figure out whether "the client was authorized by the cardholder to use the card"? Do they just ask the client? Do they just ask the cardholder? Of course neither of those parties may be trusted at this point. A court could render an opinion, if the case ever got to that point. However, it won't get to that point, because of the actions of the acquiring bank. They have just decided it's the contractor's fault with minimal investigation, and have charged Upwork the maximum. Please note: this what banks usually do, regardless of the lies you might tell your customers.
The only time I've been to Europe was an airport layover, so hopefully you can answer my dumb question: what sort of payment cards are popular in Europe? We periodically see threads on HN in which people who claim to be Europeans chastise Americans for our use of cash and/or checks. I had assumed that was because you thought credit cards were great. That may be wrong, but now I don't want to just assume you think debit cards are great. Maybe there is another sort of payment card?
I find that for instructions in how to do common mechanical tasks, searching on YouTube is effective. There are lots of carpenters, mechanics, electricians, etc. who want to tell us the best way to do something.
Eh, downvotes happen. (Admittedly, I'll be less enthusiastic about sourcing in the near future...) I suspect 'AmericanChopper has learned something ITT, which was the point. He had a particular understanding of this practice, which had been imparted by someone he trusted. Now he knows that understanding was... incomplete, let's say.
ProPublica can bang the drum all they want. In USA, the big media firms are all controlled by very rich people who don't want this sort of story to stay in the mainstream consciousness for more than a couple of days. So, information like this disappears more quickly than the average citizen can understand it.

I'm sure you can think of other issues.
