> Apple preview is not sufficient in itself and needs additional evidence to support the reliability of it.

The situation is not meaningfully different than with a wet signature on paper.

It doesn’t matter if you sign the contract with a pen or using the preview tool, in the Netherlands you are equally bound by both. If you dispute the authenticity of the signature, the situation will not be any different between the two.

And bro, work on your attitude.

If you as an individual fall for a craigslist scam, your money is gone.

>The RCBC bank branch in Manila to which the hackers tried to transfer $951m was in Jupiter Street. There are hundreds of banks in Manila that the hackers could have used, but they chose this one - and the decision cost them hundreds of millions of dollars.

>"The transactions… were held up at the Fed because the address used in one of the orders included the word 'Jupiter', which is also the name of a sanctioned Iranian shipping vessel," says Carolyn Maloney.

>Just the mention of the word "Jupiter" was enough to set alarm bells ringing in the Fed's automated computer systems. The payments were reviewed, and most were stopped. But not all. Five transactions, worth $101m, crossed this hurdle.

According to the FBI, BEC fraudsters took $1.8 billion in 2020 by stealing wire transfers from businesses into their own accounts https://www.ic3.gov/Media/PDF/AnnualReport/2020_IC3Report.pd...

Not to mention the billions lost to BEC schemes.

> I imagine this kind of thing is normal (?) in households of very rich people, even when they aren't sex traffickers.

This is normal in the service industry, rich people have service staff.

You will have a bad time if you sign a contract using apple preview and then try to argue that you’re not bound by that contract.

Except the really obvious detail that most normal countries won’t extradite their citizens? Israel loosened up their laws on this a bit after the Sheinbein affair, but extraditing resident-citizens remains a rather unlikely prospect.

> prison guards, rec specialists, medical providers? Some of the best people you'll ever meet

Some of them, yeah. There’s always a few people who came to work in prisons to make the world a better place. Most of them? It’s just a job they could get, not a particularly cozy one at that.

Arendt shocked the world by writing about the banality of evil, the nazis weren’t monsters. Instead, they were just boring bureaucrats. Most of them were perfectly nice, ordinary people just following orders.

The prison guards obviously aren’t nazis, but even the nazis seemed like perfectly normal people until you paid very careful attention.

Even in Scandinavia, maybe 20% of the prison staff weren’t downright awful people. The rest? Bullying prisoners was their daily entertainment, nothing but cruelty.

This was not my impression at all while cross-shopping the S-class, A8 and 7er. They’re all on fairly equal footing, I went with the 7 because it was put together significantly better than the Audi and had better tech than the S-class.

Now the brand new S-class might have shifted that balance a bit by adding rear wheel steering, but I’m not too sure about the touch screen monstrosity.

Looks like they’re self regulated by the International Association of Antarctica Tour Operators http://www.iaato.org/

Some governments might place further restrictions on what their citizens can do on Antarctica.

Both of these companies offer regular flights to Antarctica, not on A340s because there’s no point and there aren’t many clients crazy enough to insist on flying in with their VIP-configuration A340s.

The driver has buttons for everything, the touchscreen is mostly for the passenger. There are no buttons added and removed between the touchscreen and not-touchscreen version.

This is a shit metric, deliberately designed to mislead. The real metric that matters is years of life lost (YLL).

Sorry.

However, I bet someone like Gülen would get red carpet immigration treatment even if the CIA wasn’t involved. I don’t necessarily doubt CIA involvement, I just doubt that his immigration treatment is indicative of anything.
