Seriously, did you even bother to read TFS? Of course not...

"Binance said it was able to replace the funds taken in the record hack by using company money to buy new tokens," reports NBC News:

The remaining 10% consists of tokens that are less liquid, meaning they may take longer to buy, it said in a statement posted on X... Binance said it has set aside around $6.34 billion of company funds internally to cover the losses. The money spent re-buying tokens came from using part of its $1 billion Secure Asset Fund for Users, a bitcoin reserve it holds to protect customers in the event of security breaches, as well as some of its Futures Insurance Fund, and the company's own corporate treasury, it said on X.

if the elections flip Congress to candidates who are willing to tighten the regulatory noose around tech companies' balls, hope it will crash 2000-2001 style.

Uh, and how will pension funds and individual retirees deal with the losses?

The stock market is full of individual and institutional investors, trying to raise funds to pay for workers retirement plans - not faceless "oligarchs" stroking their hairless cats in mountain side lairs plotting the exploitation of the working class...

Bullshit.

one of the major suppliers has long-term agreements with 14 different long-term customers that use up capacity for the next 3 years. Those 14 customers are going to include the big retailers are wholesalers.

What?

"Retailers" and "wholesalers" are "(using) up capacity for the next 3 years? What are you talking about?

You think "Best Buy" is negotiating for RAM with the MFG? No, it's server Mfg lining up RAM for the servers they expect to build to stuff inside AI datacenters.

"Retailers" and "Wholesslers" don't buy raw RAM from manufacturers.

And use QWERTY or QWERTY-like. HJKL cursor navigation doesn't quite work the same on DVORAK or other layouts.

What?

Re-read what you wrote and go off and think about it...

HJKL navigation is not QWERTY-dependent, it works just fine on Dvorak-layout keyboards, although key placement/layout is a bit non-sensical, but "h" Dvorak moves the cursor exactly the same way "h" does on QWERTY.

How do you suppose that "if it existed there would be prosecutions" when it's simply easily observed reality that this DoJ is led by partisan hacks that are doing Trump's bidding rather than blind justice?

Why didn't the prior administration examine/review, redact, and release any of the Epstein documents?

It's well-known that the previous administration wanted to try and prevent Trump from returning to office, so why didn't they do anything with these documents that currently demand Trump release?

Does it seem more likely that they ignored the documents or they examined the documents and found nothing actionable?

It's not unreasonable to hold the latter position. The former may be accurate, but the latter is at least equally likely.

Trump took office on Jan. 20, 2025, this fellows phone was taken and searched on Jan. 24, 2025.

Do you really imagine that in those first few hours of his brand-new administration the Trump administration was focused on this particular Cop City Protester?

The subject was most likely placed on the terror watch list by the previous administration, not the 4 day old Trump administration.

Agree or disagree with his inclusion on the terror watch list, agree or disagree with the reason his phone was searched, the bottom line is that he caused the destruction of his phones contents to prevent the federal agents from seeing what he did or didn't have on the phone, and that is a crime.

He's not charged with violent protesting, arson, doxing officials, etc, he's charged with destroying evidence:

The case, which had its first hearing on Monday, centers on a little-known US federal statute that makes it a crime to destroy property in an effort to prevent it from being seized.

Why should Americans care about what an authoritarian regime does to its own people given we have supported our share of bloodthirsty regimes wrt to the Saudis, Israelis, and the rest of the GCC, or our history in LatAM.

The U.S. is not so much concerned about what Iran does to its own people, although the outright slaughter of tens of thousands of Protesters should upset most people, no, the pretense of the war with Iran involves things like their development of cruise missiles that can hit the capitols of England, France, and Germany, as well as their obvious attempts to develop a nuclear bomb program.

Agree or disagree with the stated goal, but at least be accurate in your description of the motivation.
