That leaves two key issues: getting paid, and discovery.
Getting paid (at a minimum, enough to cover hosting bandwidth and art supplies, but I like to dream some artists earn at least a tiny bit from their work) works now but is VERY fragile. Just a couple of vendors offer mostly-not-censored payment services (eg: Patreon) and if they stopped due to pressure from credit card networks, governments, or billionaires it would be difficult to replace them.
As for discovery, we need to build platforms that aren't the major social networks that can help audiences find new comics. This is a fairly easy problem to solve.
There is nothing wrong with using the partition solution -- it might be a good solution to your problem. But it certainly isn't a case of "rejecting technological simplicity" if someone chooses to use DELETE instead.
But if you genuinely cannot see a difference between the current Trump administration in the Democratic party -- if you argue that they are completely identical, with all differences "just for show" -- then I cannot believe you are making your statements in good faith.
That should serve as a simple existence proof that the futures market CAN and does sometimes "lie".
Congress can perform investigations, but without the President's signature they cannot take actions that have the force of law. Impeachment cannot remove any official from office without 2/3 support in the Senate. Congress CAN refuse to fund some activities, but the administration has been ignoring existing legal restrictions on spending.
So no, Congress won't take any meaningful action to reign things in for at least two years, regardless of who wins the election unless we also overthrow the government in some way.
You seem to be implying that because of this, Rust has no definition of its type system (other than whatever happens to be implemented in the current compiler). I would disagree.
As evidence, I would like to point out that not a single person argued that this flaw was not a bug, but was in fact the officially defined behavior. Clearly, the community has a shared understanding of what Rust's type system "ought" to do.
Actually, it does. If the party you are registered with thinks are a voter who might not make it to the polls, and this is a close/important election, then there is a good chance you will receive numerous calls and/or visits reminding you to go out and vote. However, if you show up on the list of people who have voted by mail OR if you appear on the registry of people who have already voted in person, then they will stop reaching out to offer rides and reminders.
Originally, everyone in town knew most everyone else and could see them physically walking into the polling place. So long before electronic records were kept, the question of who voted was public information.
Even today, I run my local polling station and I know and recognize a significant portion of the voters in my precinct.
The fact that the list of who votes is made public protects against several kinds of abuses. It goes a long way to protect against "dead people voting" and other kinds of ballot box stuffing if the list of voters is public so anyone can review it and potentially catch such abuses.
My son wants to enter the software profession. He isn't just immitating his father, he really considered different careers and really likes this one. He is capable -- had nearly a year of experience working at a tiny company building a high performance database in C before they had to shrink; not quite enough experience to qualify for "experienced" jobs. He is even comfortable with using AI to build code.
But he simply cannot find work. No one is hiring entry level software developers (especially not those who are better at designing code than at networking colleagues). It appears that he will be driven out of the field because of the disruption AI is bringing, and I morn for that.
Please name one other organ that arises from two separate progenitor cell types. If this is common, I have never heard of it.
Recently, my wife was going to be out of the country about a week-and-a-half. Her prescription for a medicine to manage arthritis would run out at the very beginning of that time. But insurance company policies refused to allow her to fill it even a little bit early. As a result, her only option was to go without the medicine for several days.
Policies should be set by organizations whose primary goal is to provide effective health solutions, not organizations whose primary goal is to minimize costs in order to make a profit.
I wasn't (until reading this thread) aware of the deletion policy, so I certainly couldn't have discovered where the configurable setting is and adjusted it.
Yes, it is American exceptionalism (and quite foolish) to make the claim that "This could never happen in the US".
No, the American government is NOT more authoritative than the UK in the way they handle freedom of websites. The grandparent comment is correct: the US government does not (currently) order ISPs to block specific websites.
Yes, those in the US should protest the current government (many of us already are doing so).
That was why the government decided to ban mail, and since that didn't cover all cases, they also banned people handing things to each other.
At least, I think that is how I remember it going in an alternate world where physical laws mimiced electronic laws.
Languages that correct the problem have two separate types (eg: Foo & Option<Foo>) meaning "definitely a Foo" and "a Foo but it might have no data". Java just has Foo, meaning "a Foo but it might have no data" but no way to represent "definitely a Foo".
Thank you for sharing; I'm so glad for you that it worked out.
That would have a bunch of advantages such as sounding familiar to leaders whose heyday was in the 1970s, of not making us feel bad about the state of the world, and occasionally giving financial kickbacks to government leaders.
Or... if you don't like this approach, maybe making changes in political leadership is the single most important thing to do.
If, indeed, the park was rented out for a private affair and the person managing that affair asked that someone be removed from the property, then like any case of trespass, it is within the purview of the police to remove that person.
It doesn't make the US look good, but I don't think it reflects poorly on the behavior of the Belgian police.
