If you're making $75k then $600 isn't make or break.

Whoohoo Viva Ponzi baby!

Edit: But also very little is being said here.

Actually the policy he's proposing in the article is okay. It's targeting people with high incomes.

Headline misleading, it's just spin. He means it should have a phase out for well-off people. Which is a good idea if you're the government and just sending people checks.

Could have just as easily titled it "Josh Hawley wants to give away money to all Americans earning under $75k, calls Biden voters 'wealthy'."

Indeed, what is the opposite of "Whoop whoop?"

Regardless of the content of your comment, I respect bringing back eth and thorn.

The major credit cards are essentially infrastructure, and really should not have the right to refuse to serve a lawful business.

Do you have any info or links about that?

One benefit to payment processing for crypto is that there's little in the way of material limitations on processing payments. The blockchain for a given coin already exists, your job as a processor is primarily to convert those on-chain transactions into and out of other currencies. Only requiring intervention at the point of entering or exiting dollars to and from the system changes a lot of the dynamics.

I truly don't understand how Visa/MasterCard/etc can be pressured. They are basically infrastructure.

What's someone going to do, stop using credit cards if they don't stop a store that person doesn't even patronize from selling morally hazardous goods?

I don't get how these campaigns are even effective.

I would not recommend relying on Tailscale. They have been soliciting a lot of venture capital lately and are probably going to go for an IPO sooner or later. I would not put a lot of trust in that company. The investors are going to want their money.

 

Hey folks. I was wanting to get a new set of keycaps for my work computer's keyboard, but I'm having a little trouble finding a set that seems like a good fit. I'm fishing for suggestions here.

I'm looking for a set with XDA profile and a darker color scheme (the base is black). Most XDA profile caps I've seen on AliExpress seem to be on the lighter side, and most darker caps aren't XDA profile.

And ideas?
