It's fine to imagine what your lunch looks like, even if that makes you feel that your dietary privacy has been violated.

20 wolves and 10 sheep elect 3 representatives ...

The fact that someone is willing to pay them that much suggests that your valuation of their labor is not universally shared.

No, they are not.

Exactly. Many countries have switched to an opt-out system for organ donation for this reason.

Most people aren't in the habit of wasting their time making choices about things they don't care about.

So your suggestion is to be a hermit?

What is the point of communication if not to change what others think?

I prefer smaller portions. If you want more, you can always buy two.

> The features of successful systems

The tragedy of the commons is what happens in the unsuccessful systems.

Fun fact: the guy who reported it (Andres Freund) works for Microsoft.

Another fun fact: Moscow is in the same time zone as the Middle East.

What if someone thinks they can personally fix the loading time of a multi-billion dollar game, while having no access to its source code?

> I find myself on the fence with proposals like these. They have good intentions but they do not solve an issue at its core.

It's clearly a joke à la RFC 3514.

> USB 2.0 slow

Many phones indeed only support USB 2.0. For example the base iPhone 17. The Pro does support USB 3.2, however.

> I guess everybody has given up on the idea of saving their photos and videos over USB?

Correct.

> we are seeing time and time again that ICE/DHS agents are finding the wrong people

There is a difference between what you are seeing and what is actually happening.

99.9% of the time they are finding the right people, but "illegal alien was deported" is as interesting a news story as "water is wet".

> Laws do, actually, work, for the most part.

"No-one charged in 9 out of 10 crimes" https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-44884113

Approximately nobody uses US coins outside the US. Even in countries where the dollar is widely accepted, trying to use coins will get you weird looks at best.

Or deport them.

> Unauthorized immigrants live in 6.3 million households

> Almost 70% of these households are considered “mixed status,” meaning that they also contain lawful immigrants or U.S.-born residents.

That works out to 1.9 million households with only illegal immigrants.

The people who define the rules in France are called "French", not "American".

Your best example of a "historically efficient way to solve political problems" is a 4 year civil war that killed more than half a million people and, after all that, still left African Americans as second-class citizens for a century after?

I wonder what an inefficient way would look like.

And cat. Some people are triggered by useless use of cat.

Excuse me, the law actually states that growing wheat on your own land solely for your own personal consumption is interstate commerce.

There is no loophole. Defendants in the 5th circuit can appeal to the Supreme Court.

That is one of the main roles of the Supreme Court: resolving circuit splits.

Ali Khamenei: "The situation between America and Iran is this: When you chant 'Death to America!' it is not just a slogan – it is a policy.

There's a difference between choosing to wear a seatbelt and being chained to the seat by the car manufacturer, who then refuses to release you "for your own safety".

> You are getting a stylised view of a topic from an entity who lacks the deep understanding

Isn't this how every child learns?

Unless his father happens to be king of Macedonia, of course.

You mean this part?

> as far as heat goes, well, one could either pay a little extra in electric for that — or they could have the Amish deliver their scrap wood from their sawmills to burn in a wood stove, very cheaply.

Habeas corpus comes from English common law, not Roman law. It was never used in German law.

Latin terms are still used in German legal writing. Just not this one.

> $45M per year

Well, in a hundred years they should be able to afford a couple of new subway stations.

Only if they are EU citizens.

Better stay away from Paris, then.

Your comment makes no sense. The DoH providers can still log requests and sell them.

DoH protects against intermediaries spying on your requests and potentially forging responses. Exactly the same as HTTPS.

Sending anything in clear text over the internet in 2025 is criminally negligent.
