DepYou could attempt the non-selfish kind and just donate it all to an independent health/rescue org like Red Cross/Red Crescent.

You could also go the kinda-selfish route like Alfred Nobel, known in his time as the merchant of death. Make an elaborate award&grant giving scheme for exceptional contributions to society in a variety of fields; boosting said contributions for many years. Would only recommend this route if you've got more than enough coin to spare, as the overhead of ensuring ethical operation is significant.

If you've got a house, you could transfer ownership to a trust/foundation/housing coop, to make it available for living at below market price.

I'd donate to various free software & open hardware projects important to societal improvement; like Mozilla, certain fediverse projects, PostmarketOS, Fairphone, etc. Also anarchist orgs.

Very engaging read

Nooooo

Climbing vines like that have a tendency to tear into cracks in whatever they're climbing, increasing water ingress. They also tear off the protective layering on brick/concrete walls.

Looks hella dope though🌳

Well, there's REISUB https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key

I see, makes some sense

Shouldn't it at least be (potential yearly wage*50 + potential pension) adjusted for inflation?

My shitty napkin calculations puts that at about 750k, which still isn't a lot, but a helluva lot more than he actually got.

$7.5 * 40h * 45weeks * 50years = lost wages = 675k Wages * 0.1 = pension = 67.5k

Uuuuh. There are only a couple lagrange points, unlike the massive amount of normal satellite paths available in LEO and HEO.

We absolutely should not allow any single actor (apart from the UN, maybe) to lay claim to the precious lagrange real estate

Hello, fellow SN enjoyer! That's where I first heard it as well

They were revealed to brag to ad sellers about having access to tons of sensitive information about its customers, by spying on e.g. ambient conversations through smartphones and smart TVs, right?

Or was it them who requested customers install an xfinity root certificate on their phone, without telling it would enable xfinity to man-in-the-middle all their internet activity?

Funny, it's almost like fucking around with peoples' privacy and security inevitably leads to finding out

Wooo friend was that a good read!

To others who may be intimidated by the number of pages; regain composure, as only 17 of those pages belong to this specific story

...it's gone. Was it short enough to recite in a comment?

Great article! Kudos to the white hat hackers who pulled off the repair, and the company that hired them. We should be able to fix our own stuff, always!

I'm not a native English speaker, so there may be some nuance I miss out on. But as far as I can tell, the implication of what you wrote was

• "Cuba is isolated because it wants to be"
• "Doctors are fleeing Cuba in large numbers"
• "Conditions are bad in Cuba"
• "The US gets alot of doctors from abroad"

I have good knowledge on point 1, limited knowledge on points 2&4, and somewhat decent info about point 2. I'm not disputing points 2,3&4.

It's very misleading to say that "Cuba is keeping itself isolated". Each year the UN votes to end the embargo/isolation imposed on Cuba by the US, with the vast majority of countries voting in favour of ending the blockade each time.

In the latest vote, in November, only Israel and USA voted against ending the blockade. Ukraine abstained. 187 member states voted in favour of ending the blockade

Make no mistake, the US is what has kept Cuba unjustly isolated for the past decades. Source: https://news.un.org/en/story/2023/11/1143112

The US sees anything that could shake their narrative of the world as a threat, even when that 'threat' is unfounded, and they massively abuse their economic and military power around the globe to keep others in line.

Neat stuff!

These are the people who kill us

Indeed, what good is all that public health spending when health corporations and orgs are determined to maximize profit, and no authority is willing to curtail their efforts

Hey Jeff, it's a good idea to scrub the timestamp parameter (?t=160) from any video links like that to avoid the video starting at the end, like here :)
