That's simply not true. Politicians have always known how to convince young men to go to war and die for them. Nothing is more selfless. So politicians could also convince people to change their lifestyles for the worse to prevent catastrophe.

Can't you have performance tests, executed by agent?
This is real risk. Someone could really have a serious health problem.

> Most people who exercise regularly enjoy it.

And because the most people don't exercise, it's easy to conclude, that the most people don't enjoy it. One can even conclude reverse, that only people who enjoy exercising, are doing it.

Don't antropomorfize countries. Countries can't have friends. There are only common interests. Or opposite.

How will you know that you should change mask?
Most logs are probably never read, but nevertheless should be written (fast) for unexpected situations when you will later need them. And logging have to be fast, and have minimal performance overhead.

Process Hacker allows you to execute program as user of any specified process, ex: create cmd.exe as IIS APPPOOL\app. Very useful for debugging access issues. I didn't find any other method to do this.

> Isn't an inherent flaw in this that it encourages people to have as many children as possible?

> most of the corruption is open, people are just too busy with their own shit to worry about it

And this is reason, why Basic Income won't come easily. They (government, corporations) don't want people to have too much free time, to worry about theirs wrong-doing.
