Entrepreneurial ones, I guess. They hear about a magic bottomless phone line and see an arbitrage opportunity.

If it's magically free, is it also magically permanent?
An audio-based SSH client, maybe. It could be used for good or evil, but at this point any open SSH connection is regularly targeted anyway. It'd be really neat to be able to do whatever computer task over an old landline or one of the remaining payphones.
I thought that was what's being implied.
Let's be real, both sides do. One just does it in English.
More like "someone small said something mean about China, now China wants to fuck shit up". This doesn't hurt China much, and isn't even legally binding by the sound of it. They just take 0 shit from anyone they regard as a 2-bit player.
Another example: They've pretty much fed their friends in Myanmar to pro-democracy rebels over some local organised crime thing on the border.
Knowing China, a phone call involving someone from the US as well as Zelensky would probably go a long way. I doubt Xi is particularly invested in Chinese companies helping Russia, but he would take issue with Ukraine not going through him about it.
So then I guess C is salamander. Also lays eggs and lives by a pool, but doesn't do anything extra, and is a necessary step before most of the other modern languages.
COBOL is a coelacanth. To everyone's surprise, they're still out there. We thought they were an old, very extinct example of a non-terrestrial lobe-finned fish, but they actually hung on in some odd environments. They cause massive indigestion to anyone that has to consume them.
If Node is a mosquito, Javascript itself is another hymenopteran: the yellow jacket wasp. Just as hated, and with a tendency to injure handlers, but widely successful and defended as filling an actual useful role in nature. They build delicate, arguably pretty nests.
Roaches don't spread nearly as much disease as 'squiters, and IIRC are actually important in some ecosystems.
Yep, that will fix the underlying weakness! /s
This and things like banning short sells are bad news on two fronts, in that they both reveal a problem and will be ineffective at solving it.
I wonder if this is actually an effective motivator for most people. It's just way too easy to look away.
I've definitely never been guilty of this. /s
Good, although I'd like to register my protest that this guy is relevant once again.
