It's pretty bad in Canada - you get really convincing scammers pretending to be our taxation agency pushing you to pay back taxes in iTunes Giftcards.

This is an obvious scam, but for people who aren't up on this and fearful of "the man" I expect these kinds of scams work for every 1 in 100k people at best and are still probably lucrative enough for them to keep going.

The answer for the OP problem and the Canadian problem are the same: the government never calls you, Microsoft never calls you, no tech company will ever call you.

Yup - I LOVE temporary containers. I feel so cripple when developing outside of Firefox now.

But then you're forced to use React...and as soon as you need to do anything outside of what it provides it all falls apart which happens pretty quickly in my experience with it.

This is awsome for web development too! You can have two tabs open to test out sending messages to eachother, you can have an admin and regular session open simultaneously. So usefull!

Firefox Dev Edition with Multi-Account containers is my GOTO web frontend dev browser.

Just take a look at what is happening in Virginia right now - police and veterans are siding with the militias in opposition to the incoming gun laws. I have a hard time believing that the men and women of the military would side with the government when the orders are to kill your neighbours.

Maybe in a failed state like California or New York, but that's not the entirety of America.

The only reason being a refugee works is because places like America exist where everyone wants to go. You know, the place where everyone has guns...

Name an actual communist/socialist regime that didn't confiscate weapons first. China, NorKo, Venezuela, Soviet Union - hell, even the Nazi's confiscated weapons from the Jews "legally" before loading them into the trains.

Gun confiscation is the canary in the communist coal mine.

How are we going to do that? That same way the rice farmers in Vietnam kicked the ass of the most powerful military in the world.

That's why the communists take the guns first.

The lesson I learned from Hong Kong is you will never take the 2nd Amendment from me. Just come and try and take them. Take a cursory glance at what is going on in VA right now to know what is in store for you if you do.

I've never heard of the TypeState Pattern, thanks for the link and it even got me interested in getting to know more about Rust. Thanks a bunch!

> If a right is something that makes society better if people have it.

That's not what a right is. Saying that access to Wikipedia is a right implies the ability to coerce somebody to give it to you if you lack it. At best it's a privilege.

Somebody that knows zilch about Rust with a question: I like to write CLI tools with Go, the built-in libs and the simpleness of the language make it really easy for writing good tools quickly. What advantages does Rust have over Go that one would use it for this purpose?

As terrible as this is, access to Wikipedia is hardly a "right".

* created to avoid.

YouTube has become the thing that it was originally created for. Thanks Google.

VS Code does a lot more than "edit text" even out of the box with no extensions.

Personally, I think the best thing to come out of Fortnite is the revenue stream making it feasible for Epic to create its own game store and compete with Valve/Steam.

Steam had been pretty stagnant for years until EGS came along and started poaching exclusives (opinions of this tactic aside) and got them to finally improve their platform.

Some YouTubers do ad reads during their videos from sponsors.

I completely forgot about Sandbox - fantastic idea!

Has anyone actually tried this? I'm curious but if I don't like it and uninstall it I'm afraid of weird glitchy behaviors and a broken shell and I really don't feel like reinstalling Windows right now.

Irrelevant, hasn't passed.

I don't care why they didn't pass. They didn't pass so they are irrelevant to my question.

Name one.

USPS is only more "efficient" in certain areas of mail because the other players are legally prohibited from using the infrastructure: UPS and FedEx are not allowed to deliver non-urgent letters and may not use U.S. Mail boxes at residential and commercial destinations.

The USPS also has the benefit of being able to lose $7 billion per year and not go out of business, and I'd hardly say that is "efficiency".

How is any player supposed to compete against something like that?

The constitution ONLY enumerates the power to the federal government to establish post offices and post roads. Period. Thomas Jefferson didn't even want a postal clause in the constitution to begin with because he thought it would be a massive waste of money. Spoiler: he was right.

If Bernie Sanders wants to make such a vast proposal he should do it the legal way and propose a constitutional amendment. Of course, he knows that will never happen so he'll just unconstitutionally let congress force it through if he wants.

Of course, it's all talk now because he's not the president.

If people want government high speed internet so bad they should be lobbying their STATE government because that is where the power in the constitution lies.

Name one substantial bill if he has so many.

You'd think someone that has been in the senate for 30 years would have SOME kind of accomplishment...?

No. The Supreme Court has ruled that the postal clause applies narrowly only to the post office.

The Supreme Court has ruled that the postal clause is applies only to the post office.
