I think that's the point, nobody is blaming the individual dev but the org and leadership.

Other than seizing assets in the US, as someone else mentioned, there are methods for international collections.

It's a very different case, but if you go read the website of the CJIB, the Dutch Central Fine Collection Agency, they say that if you are a foreigner who gets a speeding ticket in the Netherlands, and you don't pay expecting to avoid being charged as you don't have any financial presence there, they will just go to Belgium as they own SWIFT, and quite literally just debit your bank account in your country directly without needing the consent of any other party, including you, your bank or your country.

Similarly, remember the Kim Dotcom case, where the guy expected to avoid the RIAA by doing his piracy in a country where it was technically legal, and the FBI still raided his home in a way that was technically massively illegal?

When there is a will, there is a way. On the other hand, the US does not like to bother corps though.

That sounds like buying women with extra steps.

That's the thing, it's Congress being a limp dick that forces the Fed to fight inflation with rate raises that inevitable ends hurting workers.

If the inflation induced by the monopolization of key industries and pure greed would have been addressed by legislative action restoring the free market and clawing back windfall profits through smart taxation, people would be better off and would not be looking to elect a fascist.

The "Fed only has this one tool" situation is a false dilemma. Inflation is not the root problem, the oligarchy is.

Remember that JSON issue? They don't give a shit about any players.

Thank fuck tho, it will keep electric waste down, and I feel we are starting to figure out you don't need to spec your game to the newest graphics card for it to be fun.

Their margins are very high on some items compared to the ingredients, their costs are more dominated by other factors like wages and the costs for the location.

What the hell is a debate supposed to be if not partisan? It's about the parties running is it not?

It's a historic railroad bridge that has not been used for a while, steel construction, and it has been taken apart and put together many times before, sometimes for maintenance. IIRC the current mayor promised the people not to do it again, and then came Bezos, and then they didn't take it apart, they installed the yacht's masts downstream instead.

This is the bridge in question: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Hef

Cali is a hit or miss, the Cali privacy reg has been so watered down compared to the GDPR it feels like the ad industry got it in to prevent future harsher regulations.

How can this GaaS thing be sooo profitable and also such bad press that even mentioning it results in a "sorry we didn't mean that" article?
