You’ve been playing the Visa/MC game for 20+ years to achieve a perfect score? You might then agree they have an overly large amount of influence in life?

Again, you’re being forced into playing the Visa/MC game.

Sure, but you have to play the Visa/MasterCard game. We allow them to rule the country so much that if you’re not an active customer of theirs you can’t get a roof over your head. I don’t think any other company in the world has that much power.

I mean just credit cards generally. You have to play the MasterCard/Visa game or else lenders won’t rent to you. I’ve been denied many rental properties I could very easily afford because “oh someone else applied and their credit score was over 800”

You don’t want to spend money you don’t have? Congrats, your credit score is trash and now you can’t rent a house (let alone buy).

Sure, a prototype of an idea that would eventually become React was rewritten into JS to create the initial seed of the software that would eventually be called React.

Sure. You play cat and mouse with SNR. Not trivial, but easier than the same with cut cables.

I understand the intended spin. The claim is that it’s implantation is heavy handed and half baked.

You’ll be found on the internet too btw. But far more easily.

The only way to have global uncensored sharing of information is shortwave radio. Always has been, always will be.

Sorry… what does “the percent that are not convinced of the selected filters” mean?
Could you specifically explain what that 71.2% figure is?
Edit: Ah, if you hold your phone rotated the label “Not Convicted” appears. That is… a very odd way of spinning this data.

What is the meaning of the percentage inside the “Detainee Criminal Information” pie chat? I see 71.2% nominally, then 100% whenever filters are applied.

Yep, the show is called “8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown”!

Neat! Reminds me of 8 out of 10 cats does countdown. Only note is it’d be nice if the prior “yellow” square would be auto-injected if you click an operator when there’s no number on the left cell.
And maybe if it had more “big” numbers, the expert mode is still pretty easy.
