I guess my question is if US tech companies don't comply with the Indian government and gets shut down, wouldn't an identical company who will comply with the Indian government just take its place?
The censorship is taking place either way right? Why not take the money?
Yes, and this is exactly why companies decide to stay in business in said regions and focus on what they do best - continue to offer products and services (or "maximize shareholder value" if you're cynical).
Don't know if it'll make Colleges more affordable, but it'll definitely deter lenders from giving out loans to applicants that aren't as academically inclined or going into majors that have a low earnings potential.
The idea of banks having a risk free loans never really made sense to me...
Right now a college can offer useless easy degrees and charge anything they want, because 18 year olds have easy access to huge sums of money (government backed loans) and also tend to make poor financial sessions.
> Ending the process of the federal government giving subsidies to private banks to give out federally insured loans. Instead loans will be administered directly by the Department of Education.[23]
MA tried to change to ranked choice voting but people didn't vote for it. I'm guessing most at the ballot were confused about what it was and just default voted no.
But how do you actually find content that you like?
Sometimes I have to go though 4-5 different shows/movies on various streaming networks before I find something worth watching and even then, the shows usually get really bad by season 2-3. I can't imagine how wasteful it would be to have to buy all these bad shows instead of just streaming them.
But how do you actually find content that you like?
Recommendations from friends. Reviews by trusted critics. The same ways we've always found other things we like really.

I have a significant disc collection of movies and TV shows I enjoy. I have almost nothing I haven't rewatched at least once and enjoyed again and/or lent to friends or family at some point for them to enjoy as well. I don't really know how that happened but I can tell you that almost none of those discs were bought as new releases other than big names that I was already fairly sure I'd enjoy or sequels/spin-offs of things I'd previously enjoyed.
> BlockFi had to agree to stop doing all that illegal stuff
Have they though?
From Blockfi:
"As part of the resolution, existing U.S. BlockFi Interest Account (BIA) clients will maintain their accounts and receive interest as they always have, but cannot add new assets to their accounts as of today, February 14, 2022. Further, U.S. persons will not be able to open new BIAs. Following completion of the SEC registration process for BlockFi Yield, BIAs of U.S. clients will be exchanged for BlockFi Yield, unless a client instructs BlockFi otherwise. BIAs of BlockFi clients outside of the U.S. are not subject to today’s resolution."
Sounds like existing accounts can continue to function and accrue interest but no addition new users or assets can be deposited until they get SEC approval.
My cynical view is that it's more profitable to treat life threatening issues than trying to keep you healthy which would only result in less profits for hospitals. The whole incentive structure of health care leads to very bad outcomes.
