Slight correction: The US benefits from TOR being private to _everyone but the US_
It's slightly more involved than this, but not extraordinarily so.

For example seemingly innocuous implementations like loading fonts directly off Google Fonts without consent (i.e. providing Google with information about visitors' browsing habits) would technically be on the wrong side of the GDPR, but I think it's very unlikely that anyone would complain about it, legally speaking.
The predominant shapes were particles and fibers, with polypropylene being the most common polymer.

No doubt these are almost entirely due to synthetic fibres in clothing and other textiles, which have been around for more than half a century now:

Note that natural fibres aren't great either if you inhale enough of them:

The amount of pseudoscience and illogicity around microplastics is staggering. Consider those advocating for banning traditional blown-film plastic bags and replacing them with ones which are woven or non-woven fibre... the majority of which will also be made from plastic, but will emit loose fibres far more easily. Go after the textile industry if you really want to reduce microplastics, as that's where the majority of them come from. Of course this is assuming there is any clear evidence of harm, which is far from conclusive.

Might have something to do with how that particular website is using Cloudflare.
My understanding is that Brazil's government uses CloudFlare because its sites kept falling to DDOS attacks it couldn't block. If that's accurate, blocking CloudFlare would open the government to DDOS attacks again.

Maybe I should change the example for gram to "gm" (or "GM"), because I actually see that in Canadian supermarkets - on the price label on shelves, not on the product label.

I blame our debt-based system for fueling globalization at a rapid speed and for shifting the focus too much towards low-costs and mass production.

When consumers are in debt and deprived of surplus income, they are forced to ignore their ethical concerns and go for the cheapest of the cheap, which is usually bad for the environment.

Had we had a more decentralized system, with less severe inequality, I tend to think that we would be using a far more heterogeneous set of materials in manufacturing. There would be less focus on minimizing costs, leaving more room for ethics and thus we wouldn't end up with massive global problems like this.

It's weird how plastic in its current form has been around and sold in such massive qualities for such a long time. It makes it look as though there is absolutely no room for innovation. But history tells us there is always room for innovation. Capitalism has been good at finding creative paths (plural). The tech monoculture we have today seems unnatural. Likely propped up by our debt-based monetary system which allows infinite compounding of wealth which leads to unsurmountable artificial centralization. It manufactures inequality, homogeneity and groupthink.

Capitalism should be a hydra, but the monetary system has turned it into a one-headed dragon with a single mighty but aging head.
> you can’t call your company “organic candies” and sell chemical candies

Of course you can. You can't put "organic" on the packaging. But it's perfectly legal for Organic Candies, LLC to sell artifical candies or battleships for that matter.

The "hot" take around OpenAI's name is a joke gone stale. We don't expect royalty at Burger King. Nobody gets upset Adobe won't sell you mud bricks. And Apple has never sold a fruit. Sometimes companies change their names when their trade changes, e.g. 3M. But there is no obligation to, particularly if the brand is well known.

Here's an insider's insight: Colleges hate these rankings too, including the shit eating grin they have to plaster on their face when they go out in public and say things like "We're one of the top 10 small public non-land grant research institutions in the upper middle pacific northwest region!"

But too many families have been convinced that rankings like this are useful so now the institutions have little choice but to become complicit in the ridiculous system or have their enrollment decimated and be unable to pay its bills.

What

Let me echo back what I understand to be your argument: “If there were accelerating returns to capital moving the equilibrium of labor/capital-intensiveness mix, then there would be no demand to further reduce the cost of labor”

My argument is: regardless of where that equilibrium is at any given point in time, it will almost never be 0% labor-intensive, and anyone engaged in labor-intensive production would always have a preference for even lower-cost labor.

So the answer to the question of, “why do businesses want immigration despite a more capital-intensive mix of production” is “because cheaper labor is better regardless of how much labor you need.”
I do that on several of my hobby nodes. I block entire ASN's for all the major platforms. Real people can still reach them just fine. To your point I do less of that on my self hosted mail servers and instead use a regex methodology called S25R created by a mail admin in Japan a long time ago and it works great.
As someone that knows next to nothing about it, I was curious and googled how to adhere to the GDPR, and read through the top recommended article. Here's some choice quotes:

"Complying with the GDPR is a huge undertaking"

"GDPR compliance (occupies) a huge amount of IT time and resources"

"Moving your organization into GDPR compliance is a process you ideally started long ago"

The article links to some ICO GDPR data processing checklist, which is a list of 18 different processes you need to have put in place.

"The GDPR is made up of 99 articles that provide a detailed description of the regulation". <- 99 different articles to understand and adhere to ...

"[I]t is impossible to provide an exact prescription that will guarantee your organization is in compliance"

"One of the most onerous obligations of the GDPR is to provide “Data Subjects” – the people whose data you are processing – with access to the data that you hold about them (Article 15)",

"They can also request rectification or completion of data if it is inaccurate or incomplete, and they can request that you delete their personal data"

"This is onerous because Data Subjects can make requests in writing or verbally, and you need to be able to comply with the requests “without undue delay"

^-- All that seems to go against your assertion that you just have to "not track them", if you have to build out a system for everyone to access all data you hold about them, rectify it, delete it, verbally or in writing, without delay.

I'm not even half way through the article and I'm skipping over tons of what it's saying needs to be done, with all the security measures that need to put in place, whether or not encrypted data is needed, breach notification, and so on.

It seems like a heck of a lot more than just "not track people", or a trivial amount of work.
Yes, it's a win-win situation.
Whats the alternative though? Just completely open the trade barriers as if those countries are not invading neighbouring, strategically important countries or committing human rights violations or engaging in war crimes or etc. etc.?

I mean, the US weapons companies could probably profit (massively?) from the removal of sanctions, but then the US essentially becomes complicit in those activities.

Sanctions allow for passive involvement; making the message clear without breaking sovereign borders.

> how wildly ineffective they are most of the time

I'm not sure it's possible to judge the effectiveness since we can't see both scenarios at once in order to compare. I have the gut feel that, considering what I wrote above, there's a fair level of visceral effectiveness in the reduction of growth of quality of life in those places. There's also the effectiveness of the population of "country applying the sanctions" knowing their government are on the "right" side of a right vs wrong fight - that's a kind of soft benefit, but there's a slight warm-fuzzy that the patriots get that's internally politically useful, and therefore effective in a certain way.

Making something difficult to acquire certainly doesn't stop the things from being acquired, but it staunches the flow, and that most definitely has an effect (and, separately, can flush out those facilitating sanctions evasion).

As an aside, and maybe on your side of the argument, is the sanctions on Russian oil/gas, and how we're still not entirely sure who blew up that pipeline because there seem to be valid arguments for it being done by either side (the US or Russia).

Lastly and more to your point than mine, sanctions on (Nvidia/)China for the export of GPU's over a certain 'power' seem laughably based on fear-of-fading-into-economic-obscurity; the late realisation of having lost a fight they organised and then didn't show up for.

> The UK, for instance, has the opposite problem, where becoming a doctor is much easier

According to a friend who qualified in the UK and now practices in the US the _process_ of becoming a doctor is much harder in the UK: medical schools in the UK test students holistically (i.e. big exams which test all the topics) whereas American students are tested one module at a time (so lots of cramming).

I agree that gaining acceptance is probably harder though (ish: the UK government subsidises the provision of medical teaching so places are also capped in the UK for financial and capacity reasons).
Yeah this is the standard response the right wingers and the pro-corporate Dems love to give. Just really low effort as usual.

Let me propose an alternative and just try to consider it: How about we let those countries develop and if they can have a sustainable system then great, more competition is good for humanity or if it does not shake out then they will collapse or be forced to pivot and then we will know for sure.

What isn't cool is deliberately trying to cut their legs out because we want to remain unchallenged (Venezuela, Iran, Russia, China) or quietly control their government preventing any chance of democracy (This year Pakistan, a few years back Venezuela etc.)
Even 6000 MHz isn't necessarily "cheap low speed" RAM though, it's still a 400 MHz OC on Zen 5/14th Gen. ~$44 gets you 2x8 GB 4800 but it's ~$63 to start with 2x8 GB 6000.

Simplifying it to one vendor for the sake of conversations: for boards that explicitly target 9800X OCing users it's a bit silly to see 4 slots all the time but for the majority of boards that target the whole lineup it's not nearly as silly. Same for the 9900/9950X class where a lot of the users might be intentionally looking for larger amounts of slow RAM for heavier applications, not necessarily the absolute best bandwidth or latency the processor can manage.

Hitting Escape in normal mode takes you out of editing the cell and into "notebook manipulation mode" instead. This is so counter to the way Vim normally works - Esc should leave you in normal mode no matter where you started - that I found it almost unusable until I realised I could just remap that binding. I made it Shift-Esc and am very happy with it now.
I know Hezbollah operates their own telecoms, but I don't think it necessarily follows that this is exclusively military. This article (from an Israeli analyst) examines their communications infrastructure in more depth and points out that thanks to their political maneuvering they have de facto control of all telecommunications in Lebanon. I find it easy to imagine that at least some of the erstwhile pager users worked in an administrative or logistical capacity.

It's about reducing costs for the producers and supermarkets, ignoring externalities. That is, tons of plastic that doesn't get recycled and goes to the landfill. Now the issue seems worse as another important externality are adverse effects to human health.

I can't believe costs of switching to glass or ceramic are that high. I've bought tons of inexpensive dairy and desserts that came packaged using those materials. But since most customers don't care, they tend to use plastic.
I agree, but I think what it actually comes down to is this -

Android Studio (before Jetpack Compose) split the difference and offered easily editable/readable XML with textual autocomplete AND a visual editor. I much preferred that after having spent years working in Xcode's Interface Builder.

xibs and storyboards were also XML but IB would insert attributes that had no visual impact, move lines of XML around simply upon opening the file, or randomly change x/y values of the viewport upon opening the file, or update float values to use 15 decimal places instead of 2, and so on. Apple's insistence on making the visual editor have priority over text led to a worse developer experience as teams grew.

My point wasn't that cultural factors are more important in explaining disdain. It was simply that economic issues can't explain the disdain in its entirety. The first response was that I was saying economics played no factor, then it was that I was saying that economics were more important.

I'm not sure what you're arguing about anymore. It changes with every response. You seem to be bent on arguing with me and I'm not sure why.

The way you're portraying yourself reads as if you have an emotional reaction to unions that goes beyond merely the economic yourself. If you don't think that's the case, then you might want to consider changing the way you write. It's working against the argument you're trying to make.
