Yeah absolutely, tear that company to a million pieces, but it would practically be a shorter list of common search engines that it can't be used on. Between Google, Brave, and Bing most other search engines are just built upon those three.
Yes, you're correct, but technically, the FAA regulated Boeing. But the FAA was desperate for qualified workers, and all of their hires worked for Boeing.
Yes, Exhibit A is that Vladimir Putin's opponents have been defamed and shamed into dropping out or being arrested every single election for over a decade, usually involving a sex tape that vaguely resembles them or allegations of substance abuse.
Exhibit B is that in the USA older people with exposure to Cable News like Sinclair Broadcast Group and Fox News are far more conservative and more evangelized than their younger counterparts who mainly use the internet but radicalizing in the opposite direction, and yet another stark contrast to the new generation of voters who have been exposed to YouTube and TikTok algorithmic pipelines to extreme ideologies. I believe Germany itself has experienced this firsthand with recent election upsets and hard right youth activists.
It is highly effective, you are not immune to propoganda. If you want to read more about the mechanisms of how or why it works, start with the works of Siegmund Freud on suggestion and work your way to more modern theories.
If you choose not to campaign and your opponent does, what do you think will happen? If your opponent convinces everybody that you're going to raise taxes and increase the deficit, that you're corrupt and racist, and people don't even know your name from anything else then how many votes do you think you'll get?
Well they simply have gaps in regulation around elections. They tried to reform campaign finances with HR 1 For The People Act but it was never called for vote in the senate due to Senate Speaker Mitch "The Legislative Reaper" McConnell who was notorious for refusing to call things to vote.
One of the parties simply does not want to fix democracy.
The money gets spent on billboards, flags, yard signs, pamphlets, door to door outreach, renting out venues to campaign, etc.
The "currencies" are all ingame. Because PoE has no actual currency like gold pieces or anything, players trade in consumable items like Chaos Orbs and Chromatic Orbs that augment items with random outcomes. The introduction of a market ingame helps facilitate trades that players were previously using external websites and forums to make.
Even the NPC shops trade for identification scrolls and have "recipes" where you put in ID scrolls to get teleportation scrolls and you can keep trading upwards.
Why can't we talk about improperly formatted kernel level drivers? MS is notorious for "oops" accidentally rolling drivers back 8 or more years, and now it's become a problem.
And correct me if I'm wrong but the CS update came before the windows update which caused the problems.
EDIT: I am a bit off the mark
On 19 July at 04:09 UTC, CrowdStrike distributed a driver update for its Falcon software for Windows PCs and servers. An update to a configuration file that was responsible for screening named pipes, Channel File 291, caused a logic error with the Windows sensor client, causing affected machines to enter the blue screen of death with the stop code PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA, indicating an error caused by a page fault.
TBH regardless of windows security, this was clearly the fault of a lack of compatibility. Whether CrowdStrike was made in a way that caused the problem or if the Windows update wasn't properly screened or tested for this kind of failure, I'm sure we'll be hearing a lot about very soon, but the jury is out on which one is at fault.
They're doing their best. Since the people tracking the death toll have been bombed into the dirt and the majority of residences in the gaza strip have been completely demolished, the actual toll of this conflict is a lot more than the commonly cited 30,000+. In Gaza, 2 Million Palestinians lived in high density, and the Israeli military pushed them into camps near Rafah which they've also started striking.
If the conflict suddenly ends, though, so will Netanyahu's power grab, so he's dragging it out.
