There are ways to verify addresses exist and while an unknown address is possible, it should be extra work for the user to enter such an address such that it isn’t the browser autofilling to blame.

These databases are used for calculating taxes since someone on one side of the street can have a different tax rate than their neighbor on the other side of the street.

That still wouldn’t account for it. The code to collect this is tiny and the data isn’t stored locally. The whole point is for them to suck it up into their massive dataset.

This is literally the correct way to proceed in any inbound communication. Doesn’t matter who it is, the more authority they claim the faster to hang up.

They will try and trigger your lizard brain and make you feel like you must act now.

They got you because you’re not familiar with the Apple ecosystem nor their support system. That’s all sus as hell.

You also failed at basic opsec because you allowed them to control the flow of communication.

Was there actual suspicious activity? Did an actual Apple representative ever contact you because it sounds like the whole thing was a phish but you make it sound like they just got the case number and timing when the more likely scenario is that the email was also them.

Looks like there are accounts that can earn 3.5%. It’s an hour or two of work. Average occupancy rate is close to three years. A $2000 deposit would cover an inspection after a year.

Fallback could be on the renter if there is reason to withhold and on the owner if there is no need to withhold.

The escrow company gets to invest the deposit. They can use a portion of those funds to determine who receives the payout.

They can’t even effectively prevent cheaters so I’m always suspicious what the real intent of these rootkits.

I always think of the stockholders because often I am him.

My frugal lifetime is to pirate the content and used the saved subscription price to purchase additional stock each month.

Play both sides and always come out on top, or something.

Except humans aren’t just any apes, humans are great apes.

Given the topic, this distinction is highly relevant.

XP was fine after sp2 but to claim it was good is to give it too much credit.

Adds a whole new angle for arguing in favor of the /fuckcars movement.

This is the way. This gig worker industry is in need of disruption. It’s ultimately a matchmaking service. There is no other broker than can charge 100% markup.

Professional job placement company, realtors, etc do more for a much smaller percentage.

This only works because accordion is close according, not because they sound alike which is what everyone is attempting in these comments.

This is similar to the phenomena that allows jumbled words to be read, it’s about context clues not puns.

It’s never the nameless developer’s credibility that is being harmed.

No surprise. American companies are chasing fantasies of general intelligence rather than optimizing for today’s reality.

Through the blood offering, their capitalist spirit will be released into the ether for The Gods to redistribute to us, their worthy followers.

We will honor these sacrifices by engraving their names in the bricks we will use to build the temple to The Gods has has been foretold in these gold tablets I found that only I can see and read.

The tablets say if we fail to follow these edicts we will be doomed to live in an ever warming planet on fewer resources as punishment. The seas will rise. The cities will burn. The rivers will flood.

I think we’ve been doing this capitalism thing all wrong. All these issues are because we forgot to do the sacrifices.

We should be taking the top .1% of capitalist and using them to perform routine blood sacrifice rituals to appease the capitalist gods.

We then use their capital to fund a festival that last until then funds run out.

Their purity of capitalism will surely appease the gods and end all these climate change issues we’ve been experience.

Why would immigrants be trusted source?

People have personal biases, good and bad. People have confirmation bias. It sounds like the immigrants biases have confirmed your biases.

Even if I were to ignore all of that, your experience is an anecdotal data point for me so my opinion that no government should be trust remains.

Given that I’m not attempting to replicate or advocate for any specific form of government this seems prudent.

For anyone still reading and is really bored, my personal belief is that the only path forward is an society that is governed by immutable mathematical agreements.

It’s hard to describe what I have in mind in a comment as there are many interacting pieces that together create a system that requires no government, no leaders, no fake money and no ambiguity.

Not at all.

Someone told you not to trust either. Presumable not the same person, presumable American government told you not to trust China but that begs then question who told you not to trust the American government.

Further the meme implies one should trust the Chinese government presumably because an untrustworthy source told you not to which is a mentally stunted view.

Not being trapped under the direct influence of the Chinese government, there are clearly many of reasons not to trust that government either.

There is no reason to trust any government. A basic understanding of history should make it clear that this is true of any government that has ever existed.

Being educated is a sufficient cause to distrust all governments.
