Keep this up and you’re never gonna have a line of best-selling books telling hippies that drugs are great (because secret ancient shamans from whatever culture you’re appropriating that day showed you the real truth!)


Despite a coiner getting hosed, this is actually a bad ruling. You’re only suffering a SIM swap attack if your phone company has completely failed in their own basic security (and/or has people working with the scammers on staff). Phone companies should face massive penalties when this happens, not be able to foist off the problem to a contractually-required arbitration.

fortunately, sam has worked out a settlement with the gangsters to avoid getting shivved. he must merely place one grain of rice on the first square of the chessboard, two grains of rice on the second, etc etc. doesn't sound like much, anyway

'SIM swap' theft victim can't sue phone company, B.C. court rules: Scammer stole $60K worth of bitcoin after impersonating Freedom Mobile client, lawsuit claimed

the "reluctantly" is unfortunate and judge doesnt seem to have gotten into the ridiculousness of him trying to shake down the phone company for real dollars to replace his lost buttcoin. just that he agreed to the arbitration clause of the phone company's TOS and should try to resolve via that process. but regardless, always funny to see one of these guys get owned

I'm being honest with you, a car company should be liable for any theft if they give a thief your keys; similarly, mobile carriers need to be on the hook for sim swapping if we are to have any hope of forcing them to take this horseshit more seriously.

yes but making laws and regulations and all that hard stuff requires a working government, so we all get to enjoy forced arbitration clauses, "high frequency trading", crypto ETFs, and myriads of other bullshit

involving a chessboard allows sam to leverage his unmatched strategical brilliance

to wit: sum(1..64) is only 2080 total grains of rice

note that the suit was stayed because there's an arbitration clause requiring the aggrieved party to go to private arbitration first. also, it's canada sooooooooo yeah.

(not that the us is any better, the federal arbitration act will end up precluding that kind of claim from being pursued in american courts as well.)

No, this is false. Barack Obama directly called The Rock’s personal cell phone in order to tell him that Osama Bin Laden had just been domed, and he also asked him to vaguepost about it.

Time Is Running Out in the Hunt for Rare Bitcoin
A small band of collectors is finding and collecting rare fragments of bitcoin worth many times the face value. But their window of opportunity is closing.
...
The very rarest can sell for tens of millions of times their face value; in April, a single sat, normally worth $0.0006, sold for $2.1 million.
