Wasn’t mBridge meant to satisfy that?

I don’t know. The article quotes the Russian ambassador saying it needs to integrate with the banks and whatever systems are in place currently for each country, but that doesn’t necessarily mean SWIFT as well. But even if it’s a direct competitor, the possibility of future SWIFT integration has to be considered. I’d be surprised if they blanket never wanted it to happen.

The article doesn’t make it clear if they’re talking about something for people or just institutions.

You say that, but they have to get it right first go, and it’s also the question of how it’ll interact with SWIFT.

Sure, so swap it out with something that costs more than 3K.

• What if you want to buy a A100, it’s a graphics card for doing maths on your computer, it costs 5000 euro. Maybe I’m using it for my AI boyfriend and I think it’s embarrassing and don’t want anyone to know, or I’m making political cartoons with 3D software and need a lot of VRAM.
• Maybe I’m buying very many hijabs. Maybe I’m buying solar panels and don’t want to randomly selected to be bothered by the cannabis inspector or I bought a new projector explicitly to give to someone else, but I don’t want to be bothered by the telly license inspector – who at least in Ireland is allowed to invade your privacy and inspect your home looking for projectors. It’s not illegal to own a projector and not pay the license, it’s only illegal to connect and use a projector without paying the license. If you buy it as a gift for someone who already has some sort of screen and is paying the license, you haven’t done anything wrong and don’t deserve the scrutiny.
• Maybe I bought a statue and I don’t want the government to know who I idolise.
• Maybe I bought furniture and I don’t want the government to know in case the person who made the furniture turns out to be the wrong ethnicity or religion or political affiliation in the future.
• Maybe I bought a auto or bike to mod for use on my own property and don’t want the government to notify all the relevant patent holders “just in case”.

It stops you from spending your money anonymously. Why is it the state’s business if you want to buy a hijab? Fine, they’re illegal to wear outside, but if it’s legal to wear inside I should be allowed to own one without scrutiny. But I also don’t trust the regime that outlawed them in the first place to let me do that.

A complete excision of all overlap with USA culture.

Why did you name your instance .world?! 😭

Okay so you created a meme where you made someone say a popular opinion you disagree with. Then you made someone rebuttal with “You aren’t human” and the subject replying with “You got me”. What is the joke exactly? How should that be interpreted? Because I interpret it as “People who disagree with me aren’t humans”. Do you not see how that is both unfunny and offensive?

Democracy is when you can decide what your country does right? Like while the government is currently in power and stuff?

Israel was never a victim of fascism.

Why and how?

This is what Radcliffe wrote. The article links to an article which links the text instead of including it directly. You might also not agree with their privacy statement.

Transgender women are women. Any statement to the contrary erases the identity and dignity of transgender people and goes against all advice given by professional health care associations who have far more expertise on this subject matter than either Jo or I. According to The Trevor Project, 78% of transgender and nonbinary youth reported being the subject of discrimination due to their gender identity. It’s clear that we need to do more to support transgender and nonbinary people, not invalidate their identities, and not cause further harm.

To all the people who now feel that their experience of the books has been tarnished or diminished, I am deeply sorry for the pain these comments have caused you. I really hope that you don’t entirely lose what was valuable in these stories to you. If these books taught you that love is the strongest force in the universe, capable of overcoming anything; if they taught you that strength is found in diversity, and that dogmatic ideas of pureness lead to the oppression of vulnerable groups; if you believe that a particular character is trans, nonbinary, or gender fluid, or that they are gay or bisexual; if you found anything in these stories that resonated with you and helped you at any time in your life — then that is between you and the book that you read, and it is sacred. And in my opinion nobody can touch that. It means to you what it means to you and I hope that these comments will not taint that too much.

Love always, Dan

Perhaps there’s a benefit to letting Israel lie so the lies can be documented.

They signed a treaty so are beholdent to the terms of the treaty.

They filmed it on earth

Wonderful! We’re about to have CIA propaganda start advocating for veganism!

Sweet.

What does it take for you to label a Hitler a Hitler? You watch someone kill thousands of children based on racism and decide they’re not a Hitler?

Western celebrities don’t go a single month without media appearances?
Edit: I read it wrong. It says “months” plural, and I guess the headline belongs to a different article.
