Where in that document [1] [2] does it mention every online account must be linked to a phone number.

Because it mentions that an account must be linked to an email address or phone number.

Which would be the standard for almost every online service.

I'm not sure we understood the same thing there, given you said "no idea".

My point is that it's very understandable that the government doesn't just trust that you'll pay your departure tax at some future later point, once you've been able to sell your business, in say like 5 years from now, or maybe 7 or like never ;)

I'm not trying to argue that everything is rosy. Just trying to see both sides so to speak. In a non-ideal world. Where not everyone is like you, who'd actually pay his taxes as soon as they were able to sell but they just really really want to leave like now.
It seems strange to associate abortion as something only the left cares about. It's been a very big talking point for the right for a long time.

The classic 0, 1, or N. You can have 0 repos (no-code or outsourced or just some unversioned blob of code). You can have 1 repo (a mono-repo). Or you can have N number of repos (individual micro services). Limiting yourself to a number that's higher than 1 but still finite is just asking for pain. (Of course implementation limits can apply but there shouldn't be logical limits)

They seem pretty clear [1] about what social media is:

Social networks, public media sharing networks, discussion forums, consumer review networks.

Yes its an echo chamber, but not by fiat of the mods. It exists as an alternative to the pro-Ukraine echo chamber that is strictly enforced everywhere else on reddit. That the sub ends up skewed pro Russian is just a reflection of it being the only place on reddit where news and takes that aren't 100% Ukraine cheerleading are allowed to be posted.

>Criticisms of Sachs's take are easy to find, and quite devastating. Whether you care to look into the matter is up to you.

If you didn't want a substantive engagement on these points, why did you bother to reply? Just to promote the sanctioned opinion on Ukraine? Don't you think there's enough of that on social media?
Here's another one: pre-Musk Twitter takeover, they had him on to make his point. Musk made an erroneous statistical comparison between Twitter likes and YouTube views to demonstrate that Twitter was shadowbanning his tweets. When in fact 30 seconds of thinking would tell you that Twitter likes and YouTube views are not the same metric and cannot be compared (YouTube views are more like Twitter views, and YouTube likes are Twitter likes). None of these four smart people pointed out this discrepancy.
They haven't got the competence to implement it even if they wanted to.
That site seems to be making the argument that there are non-zero amounts of voter fraud.

They don’t take their license away, they just test more frequently to watch for deterioration of vision, etc.

Also, people under 60 still need to test and qualify for a license. So I’m not sure why you went down this comparison route.
Militarism and ‘strong regimentation of society’ are two that very obviously don’t apply to Trumpian politics. Trump was an isolationist militarily in his first term - an expansionist nationalist military is a sine qua non of fascism.

And Trump’s fetish for deregulation works against the second one.

Bilingual in Japan, also studying Mandarin.

Proficient English is just a “plus-alpha”, as they say.

You don’t need it, but it might open up a few more doors.

Then there’s certain topics, like science/medicine where English to some extent is absolutely necessary to keep up with research. Even then, I find some of these people still struggle with speaking and listening, but reading and writing can be pretty solid.
Blame algorithms that prioritise negative content because people click it more, creating a perception of hellscape when things are going just fine.
Been using Cursor since launch. Really frustrating how they charge per message (500/mo) instead of by token usage. Like, why should a one-line code suggestion cost the same as refactoring an entire class? Plus it's been losing context lately and making rookie mistakes.

Tried Zed AI but couldn't get into it - just doesn't feel as smooth as Cursor used to. GitHub Copilot is even worse. Feels like they're so obsessed with keeping that $10/month price point that they've gutted everything. Context window is tiny and the responses are barebones.

Well none of those, so why don’t you explain which ones since they are so obvious to you.
I used to be a normal person. Then I became a parent. It changed my view on reproductive health entirely. I am not religious or conservative. I simply believe, based on lived experience, that life begins at conception. The tone with which the liberal democrats approach reproductive health, which you are parroting in your comment, is basic, immature, and inhuman. Bringing a new human into this world is a beautiful indescribable experience and the responsibility is shared equally. I no longer believe in ceding my half of that responsibility and my input over the process for the first 9 months solely to the mother. I don’t support a political agenda that believes the choice to terminate a pregnancy is only a woman’s to make, ra ra. Come what may.
Data protection regulation addresses the abuses of reading information from databases.

An analog to address the abuses of controlling how users read information from databases would be anti-trust regulation that unbundles client software from hosted services. "The algorithm" should be under control of the client software, for which there should be a competitive market, based on well-documented APIs for communication between the two. Then everyone can choose what "algorithm" they want, rather than having one singular one pushed on them by the service provider abusing its captive audience.
Just learn CloudFormation. It’s not that hard, and if you really want to write code, you can implement custom resources for all the times the service team let you down.
Not quite. Stablecoins are still more decentralized than classic fiat and AFAIU it's easier to trade stablecoins to/from other coins/tokens.

Practical example, credit/debt card processors almost universally have banned/are banning many adult content sites, but those sites are starting to accept stablecoins.

While stablecoins can be tracked, transactions cannot be universally controlled, especially not by private entities (depends on the exact stablecoin of course).
I hear you on the power of conservative hatred. But it would have been a lot harder with a white man. The only thing they had on Biden was age and seeming creepy with kids.

Look how hard Fox has to struggle when they debate Pete Buttegeig or Sanders. Confident, well spoken, white male policy wonks with plans for the working class are Fox News worst nightmare.
Australia (2022) and New Zealand (2023) flipped definitively too, in their respective post-Covid elections. The discontent looks like a general pattern regardless of whether the pandemic-era incumbent was nominally "left" or "right".

Oh, with the class declaration version? I never considered that, but feels obvious now.
I think you are significantly over-valuing what you are hypothetically missing out on.
Facebook users have the opposite problem, where there's unchecked misinformation and self-inflicted echo chambers. Twitter was taken over by a Trump ally and Harris supporters mostly fled, were banned, or had their content shadow banned; it's a white suprematist echo chamber. Fox news, CNN, and sinclair (which owns most local news), and clear channel are all owned by Trump supporters.

Hitler rose via radio, and Trump rose via social media and billionares.
Calculating at Pencil and Paper Scale
I have three kids. They have access to devices they use primarily for reading and language/music lessons. They don't use social media and would likely pay a decent level of attention if (in addition to us having explained concerns about social media for children) we indicated that there was government advice/ruling around this.
I mean that the `id` function returns by value. It's not interning since that explicitly refers to something allocated, which isn't the case here.
> That would make sense if there was an actual argument for the process being compromised. But there isn’t.

There are pretty strong arguments that many states illegally (according to their own rules) expanded the scope of postal ballots in 2020, added people to the voter rolls without adequate checks that resulted in people getting added who shouldn't have, etc., which could very plausibly have added up to enough to tip the knife-edge election.

> Notice how there’s no cries of election integrity problems for this election? Because the “right” party won.

I don't think anyone seriously disputes that the civil service has a partisan imbalance. If (and it's a big if) the "deep state" were to cheat, it's pretty clear which side they would cheat for. Well before the results came out this time, it was widely reported that the Republicans had filed hundreds of lawsuits questioning various election irregularities and the Democrats... hadn't. So yeah, only one party doubts the integrity of the election (or, if you want to be more cynical, only one party cares whether it's being rigged, since both parties know which way any rigging is going). That's exactly what we'd expect, whether it's being rigged or not?
Heh, that's a prime example of a race condition.

We had so much conflict with the ops team over their choice of Terraform. The three colors of variable thing is just fucking bonkers. Getting tests wrapped around it that actually did what we thought they meant was a giant pain in the ass.

I won't go as far as to say we burned bridges arguing back and forth about it but they were definitely significantly singed.

Config files simply don't work until they do. And if it's your job to stare at them for hours and hours a day then maybe that's okay with you, but if you expect other people to 'just learn' it you're an idiot or an asshole. Or both. Ain't nobody got time for magic incantations.

I also think it should tell you you're on the wrong path when your app is named after a verb and the data it deals with is all declarative.

I am a low information voter. I am far too busy working to support my family to spend my spare time doing psychedelics and reciting the names of my favorite politicians (and other high society pass-times) for fun. The fact that democrats can’t seem to include these low information voters in their narrative, especially since they’ve proven yet again that they are at least willing to show up and vote, is concerning. I hope the normal people can come to the table with a relevant agenda next time. Virtue signaling reproductive health doesn't put food on the table.

I think you're broadly correct, although it's perhaps less applicable to games designed to hook you indefinitely.

I often think about film reviewers, and how the sheer volume of film they've watched means that their experiences are likely further removed from an average person's potential experience, than basically anyone else.

Much like how if you're an average person who doesn't really go to magic shows, the opinion of another random person on a magic show is probably going to be more appropriate for you than that of Penn and Teller, who've seen it all before.
Rather obscure but there there's also Hostile Waters: Antaeus Rising which comes in second only to Battlezone 98 as my favorite in the first person RTS genre. Tom Baker voices the narration, which is a nice little bonus.

Oh, yea I misread that a bit and my "no idea" doesn't really fit there.

I agree with your point that the government generally doesn't trust me to pay at some point in the future. Blocking the ownership transfer for a corporation like I mentioned above would be one way to ensure it though.

But there's no incentive for them to do that.
Banning <16 year olds from social media is for their protection. Banning >60 from social media (and I’d add voting) is for everyone else’s protection.
Is the geographical use of these plasticisers related to the geographical spread of the problems ?

>>> Asia-Pacific is by far the region with the highest sales of plasticizers. According to Ceresana’s forecast, this region of the world, which accounts for almost two-thirds of plasticizer consumption today, will continue to record above-average growth rates in the coming years. Demand for plasticizers is also growing by more than 2% pa in Africa and the Middle East, while it is hardly growing at all in Western Europe

In the womb times two…

Girls are born with all their eggs, and so a pregnant woman who is having a girl is also carrying half her grandchild.

Now, from what I’ve read before about stress, heavy stress like living in a war zone can produce so much cortisol than it affects the unborn child. Given this, I suspect this could also effect a soon to be born girl’s eggs too!

Monorepo and microservices are orthogonal.

You can have as many build targets in a monorepo as you like. You can also have large monoliths in a monorepo.
The ID check is productive at 1) registration - ensure eligibility and 2) at ballot casting - ensure the voter is registered and unique. The match will inherently enumerate voters. Your outside assumptions that a) id requirements disenfranchise voters and b) official collusion is the “only way” are structurally and by evidence unfounded. In your argument they provide only hand-wavy service for an otherwise unsupported conclusion.
> It’s become increasingly normal in recent times to share absolutely everything online

It certainly feels that way when you pull up a social media feed

However, the majority of people I interact with (all ages) don't post frequently or at all.

It's 10% of the users posting 90% of the content, including over-sharing. It only looks normal because they're so dominant in the feed that you don't realize who's missing.

That's not really what's happening - in Korea, there are many young people, male and female, who would be willing to have kids if life is easier. They don't because they can't afford a house, or they don't want their kids to go through the brutal education system they suffered themselves.

Or they are simply overworked and don't have time to raise kids.

So, many "pro-birth" policies are aimed at helping women at work so that they don't have to sacrifice their career. But the government isn't doing much (our current president said people should be "allowed" to work 120 hours per week if they wanted to - and somehow still got elected), and what little policy Korea has is constantly attacked by conservative young men for being "sexist" because it's "feminist propaganda" that victimizes those poor young men.

And every year Korea slides further into population collapse.
I tried TikTok out earlier this year. It was enjoyable but at least once a day when I was using the app heavily I would be served a video that was mildly pro China. Like a clearly western person living there showing off how great it is.

It wasn’t offensive or even off the mark but it felt like I was being served low grade propaganda.
