How do you like it next to htop?
Isn't the old bit about organized crime how they always have a second set of books? After all they do want to be able to track their finances.
Or at this point, the one whose tracking is easiest and safest to avoid or circumvent.
Also mind that soon these new cars will be used cars with the same bullshit.
Yeah. No one ever gave me AdSense dollars for nearly busting my fucking head.
I'd like credit scores systems to be fully public and developed by the government. It would be far better than the three private systems Americans deal with now.
I don't feel guilty. It's fair to be suspicious of someone who covers their face without context like cold weather or a medical mask (could be sick or concerned about getting sick). The trick or test is to ask yourself "Do I/would I become equally concerned if this person was in a different racial category?" If the answer is "No", de-escalate yourself. If the answer is "No", look for the other markers that are actually setting off alarms for you. It's not just covering the face. As others have pointed out there can be a variety of harmless reasons why people might do that. But look for how a person carries themself: where they keep their hands how they move their eyes. Or maybe you are just paranoid about hoodies in general, in which case you should try to develop a more holistic way of sizing people up.
They'll tolerate arguments over precise economic policies that amount to discussing how many angels could dance on the head of a pin, but hold far tighter to what amount to cultural arguments. "USA bad" means "Russia good" because Russia is against USA so if Russia does bad then it's good actually or else no it didn't happen.
I'm sure grit + wealth is far better than either alone. It's really probably grit + wealth + connections + luck.
