Wow, thanks for this. That is very helpful context. And thanks for your original post too, or I'd never have asked.

Basically, they aren't hurting yet.

Exactly. You could reduce their wealth by a factor of 1000, and they would still have more than 90% of people. They will never be genuinely hurt by losses. Not like 99% of people would be.

The chart shouldn't make anyone happy. The true horror of it should be realized; in reality it's an accounting of how much they're "spending" money to make money. They will continue to make more. The scales here are unfathomable to most people.

It's borderline misinformation to not include their total wealth for context.

it is detectable [...] server side, if you download the script [vs] pipe it into a shell

I presume you mean if you download the script in a browser, vs using curl to retrieve it, where presumably you are piping it to a shell. Because yeah, the user agent is going to reveal which tool downloaded it, of course. You can use curl to simply retrieve the file without executing it though.

Or are you suggesting that curl makes something different in its request to the server for the file, depending on whether it is saving the file to disk vs streaming it to a pipe?

The P stands for plunder.

While I agree with the sentiment, if the face-value goal of this note becomes true, this has the same vibe as "Sell it to who, Ben? Fucking Aquaman?"

Please report back on the weird look you get. 😂

How else do you write them?

In a single (but not smooth) stroke, like how one would write a (mirrored) h, but where you would end the h normally, you connect it back to the bottom of the stem instead.

I learned cursive

That's even weirder that you'd do ol for d then. I'd expect you to do a single stroke o, starting at the right hand side, but upon completing the o, continue straight up to make the stem of the d.

IMO a hallmark of messy writing should be the shortcuts taken to reduce the amount of lifts of the stylus for efficiency's sake. You need to improve the efficiency of your sloppiness, to make things worse so it gets better 😂

It would be easier just to set the rules and let everything play out. It's a shame he wasn't smart enough to think of that one.
