I feel sorry for her, as it's not a black and white case of inappropriate behavior.

Remember Hezbollah is not hamas. Lebanon is a different country.

Yes, but look at bud light. Boycotts can be hugely damaging. If people start boycotting Intel, Dell HP and other suppliers will happily offer amd instead. Similarly, companies with policies of not buying from suppliers with slave labour or supporting genocide may decide Intel falls in that category now. They do it as a PR exercise but ultimately it's consumer sentiment that drives it.

Intel will need to decide if the sweetener is worth the risk. From war interrupting supply. From boycotts. From brand damage.

Or they are worried that Intel will pull out due to risk of consumer boycott and want to push the deal through.

You can, or could, in Venezuela and Iran. Europe trades in oil all the time, but the petrodollar reigns supreme for international trade with oil producing nations. That's not in question. The point is how much that will impact on international trade relations, now and in the future.

As currencies diversify, as power needs diversify and as stability and increased trade between all nations increases, the majority of trade may still remain in dollars, but that provides less power for America than historically. Oil is less important and the traded currency is also less important. This also improves with improved digital process of payments and faster shipping routes. It's assumed that is part of the reason Russia values the arctic, for shipping routes.

There may be limited appetite for more ruoee trades now, but a trial balloon is always the first step and there may be more on an ad hoc basis. India may start to trade with Iran or Russia in increasing volume but wish to have rupee trade. A large customer like that may find that one supplier plays ball.

If the euro doesn't really threaten US as a reserve currency, a BRICS one certainly won't. As economies diversify and become more intersectional, as has happened since ww2, the currency fluctuations are less, with increased trade. Then currency used matters less and risk is lower for both sides when non us currency is used. So, I think dollar as a currency reserve will naturally reduce over time but it's not disappearing any time soon.

I still miss the fingerprint reader on the back of the Nexus 5x. And CyanogenMod added the ability to swipe it to see notification shade which was great.

The position is just a natural place to place your finger when holding a phone so the unlock was more automatic rather than a deliberate action being required.

I thought paying staff properly was the cool hipster thing to do? Not wage theft and fines.

Personally, I boycott. It's much easier to boycott companies with terrible overpriced products.

Oh no.that’s disappointing.

The problem with blocking a community is if you block the one that eventually takes off, you miss out. I am just accepting it for now and assume it will sort itself out.

Another option would be to upvote one and downvote the other, to help speed the process up.

Lost two out of three and the headline is a positive? I know politics is about setting expectations to frame a loss as a win, but that’s a bit rich!

Spy thrillers were much common in the 80s and 90s, whereby there was intrigue and plot more than action. Perhaps it’s the end of the Cold War and the rise of mission impossible as the de facto spy movie.
