The real solution is better client software. Doing these checks on the client-side is free, that's where they should live.

It would be stupid to put these checks in the contract, they would be very expensive and only help people using unsuitable client software.

>Again NASA would disagree.

Yeah, because NASA has been utterly fucked by the congress. Because of politics it's better for NASA to spend 5x the money on 1 reliable spacecraft than to build 5 slightly less reliable spacecraft out of which only 1 fails.

Even if the economics of it don't make sense, NASA can't afford to be seen failing because because politicians will not want to fund them.

I guess my point is that NASA is an exceptionally badly managed entity, not something you'd want to aspire to. (Of course the people working at NASA are not the ones to blame for this.)

>Money matters a lot. Should this mess endure, people will forever be saying a little bit of gas would have been worth it.

That gas would probably add up to more money than has been lost here.

>And we've people with six figure arguments as to why such a check makes sense.

The gas fees of such a check would probably be higher than the losses averted, especially in the long run. And any "losses" are essentially distributed among all ETH holders anyway.

Well, there's about $3B worth of WETH issued and only about $1.1M worth of those have been lost due to mistakes like the OPs.

I think that people are so unlikely to fuck this up that such a check would be rather pointless.

I don't think so. The terminology is quite standardised, but just like "gui, compilers, loop, trees, objects, etc." you're not going to know them unless you're familiar with the subject.

>therefore being unusable to certain portions of the population (old non-technical people, those who lost their phone, those who use an OS other than Android or iOS, dead battery and no charging cable, etc.)

FWIW uber has had a web app for years now, and before that there were a plenty of unofficial clients. I remember calling Ubers from my laptop in 2016.

Important detail to note is that the IMF does not profit from dictators running away with their money.

> Rich Russians get their passports by investing in countries

You have no idea what you are talking about. I am not talking about Cyprus here.

Here's an article describing a small slice of it https://www.vice.com/en/article/akwe34/romania-has-allegedly...

> you might dislike the way its possible to acquire passport

I don't, I firmly believe that this is a good thing.

>Your claim like its s massive problem on the grand scale of things in Europe is propaganda.

I don't claim that it is a problem at all. I'm just saying that you were being ridiculous when you said

> Its time for Americans do the European and developed world thing and use IDs with proper identification methods

Europe is far from having this figured out.

It's not an outrageous claim. The huge scale of passport fraud in Romania and Hungary is widely known, literally to the point where half the rich Russians living in central London hold fraudulently acquired Romanian passports.

Of course it's not only Eastern Europe, of course Greece and Italy have struggled with this too.

The Moldovans are getting EU passports, usually Romanian or Hungarian. They certainly aren't looking for Moldovan passports.

I don't think this is a problem at all, the whole concept of borders and citizenships is poisonous.

> European and developed world thing and use IDs with proper identification methods

You obviously have no idea what you are talking about. Perhaps "Europe" to you only refers to some rich Scandinavian countries?

In Eastern Europe ID cards are frequently issued solely on the basis of witness statements, fraud is very common.

There are probably hundreds of thousands of "fraudulently" issued European passports in circulation. If you go walk near embassies in Chisinau, you'll be approached a plenty of people offering to help you procure one.

Even the UK has struggled with this https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-58876645

>And why would you live under someone else's identity? Isn't it identity theft?

Because you don't have your own, there are a plenty of Europeans who have never even had a birth certificate (or lost theirs).

Because yours comes with the wrong nationality, a semipermanent black mark that prevents you from seeking normal employment.

Porcine heart valves are largely accepted by Islamic scholars in situations where there are no alternatives available.

This is kind of like referring to Joe Biden as a Delaware lawyer.

Andrey is famous for operating unicc, not infraud.

Even Telegram founder Pavel Durov chimed in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25726879

It is actually the right of petition enumerated in the first amendment which gives AA the right to sue.

Opensubtitles is definitely for-profit. They sell lots of ad space, including ads injected into the subs themselves.

> Sure, and it may be strange to those living in the West, but outside the West, "trad-wife" is rather popular with women.

While I'm not sure that I agree with you in general, you are absolutely right about this. My Russian (girl)friends won't stop going on about how sorry they feel for the poor career oriented western women wasting their lives at the office working for someone else, when they could instead be working on their family.

It's not like these girls are lazy either, many of them work full time to look beautiful. A fair bargain for many husbands.

But I guess westerners are likely to view this either as abusive or transactional, not a healthy relationship. They'd be wrong though.

Why not? During an invasion the Russian troops would need to be able to move around Ukraine somehow.

It's unlikely that the Walgreens would have a better photo printer than a SC-P700 or SC-P900, they might be able to do larger format prints though.

>Documents? Reach for the lasers.

Maybe not if you want to print documents with security features :P

Blogspam for https://www.stltoday.com/news/local/govt-and-politics/missou...

The article does nothing to substantiate that claim. We already know that the feds essentially told the state to fuck off.

At this point it really is unlikely that the reporter will be charged.

> Instead, you have to repeat the whole process and get a new QR code from the carrier

Utter nonsense. There's no technical requirement to get a new QR code, this is up to the carrier.

Why are there so many people spreading straight up lies in this thread?

Serious question: Who has the time to research all that stuff before buying a 5 euro eSIM? Why bother?

Airalo is legit, whether or not they're "serious" really doesn't matter.

Do you have a source for this?

You would lose that dollar. eSIMs have been available on iOS for ages and have nothing to do with "Apple Payments".

People deleting their accounts, or trying to sell their usernames and messing up the transfer.

Meh, it's their site. It's just weird that they don't seem to have any controls around this.

Well, I tracked the previous UIDs and saw a lot of names that weren't squatted getting released and shortly after ending up with Instagram employees.

E: Oh yeah, there was also the whole "trademarking" thing that was used to steal generic names from active accounts using obviously invalid trademarks. https://www.vice.com/en/article/zma3w4/scammers-fake-tradema...

Just my personal observation. I earned around half a million dollars by running an "autoclaimer" that would automatically register Instagram names as they'd become available. I'd regularly see Instagram employees grabbing names from my portfolio for themselves.

>The car was valued at an amount equivalent to nearly $43,000 today.

>The automobile was near-totaled, a jumble of hubcaps, spark plugs and gaskets that racked up a repair bill adding up to $2,200 in today’s value

Weird, no?
