You're assuming the telecom operator of the SIM farm doesn't know his customers. That'll change very quickly after the first few have to cover the fines themselves. After that that…

The solution is accessible law, not better anti-fraud tooling. Introduce a spam / fraud button, using it requires your pin and costs $10, but obliges your telecom provider to recor…

IMO you highly underestimate the amount of processing and storage video surveillance requires. There is just no good way to determine if you took that pen or made the newly illegal…

To me the major distinctions are near full functionality even if I'm offline and the app hasn't been used in a long time and offline-first design with all major assets being availa…

Right, of course it's those who had the most time to accumulate wealth in the wealthier nations and professions who are most opposed to one of the most expensive subscriptions in h…

> Doing it on demand still utilizes their cached version, so it saves a trip to the origin, but doesn’t require doubling the cache size. They can still cache the results if the sam…

You can never just use existing resources as long as those end up in places they're no longer accessible to the market anymore. Cash just about never sits just around as long as wh…

Interesting, never heard anyone calling some place a Tier 1.5 city. Is this a recent development as "almost official" as the Tiers itself, something obvious I just never picked up …

$5 is probably too much, tho. I'd be looking more at the $.2 to $1 range. Maybe a 3 to 4 tier inbox. Known and trusted user being able to contact you without paying, a high value i…

Isn't Shanghai a Tier 1 city? IMO it's not very representative of the whole country. It's also not like China is an overachieving outlier, but western nations actively having been …

Exactly, this was the whole point of Trump calling climate change a hoax to benefit China, but somehow this got twisted by the media into not denying climate change being an anti-T…

> it only applies if it is intended to and corruptly accepted as an influence on official decision-making. The majority opinion argues that this is one of the primary differences b…

> They literally weakened the legislation. IMO that's not the case, because if a legislation looses its intended focus, it gains a lot of arbitrariness in return. The more interpre…

Not really, because that's the core issue had hand, but I might not have made my intention with the argument sufficiently clear. The question the court looked at: Did Congress inte…

I never was contacted during the trial and only read about it almost 2 years later in the news. Also, he's a man of strong faith, not that he knows he'll win in the end, but more l…

Guess what, he wasn't South African or in the Oval Office, either.

The Catholic Church was funding a lot of research for a long time. E.g the Elon Musk of his time, Galileo, was famously sponsored by it and when asked to contrast his theories agai…

Or at least never been on the receiving end of an oppressive regieme. Look at e.g. Germany. Plenty of ex-SED members are happy the relive the past.

Dont mistake malice for incompetence. Friendly reminder he EXPLICITLY ran on protecting debt-limits in the German constitution, got elected on those promises and then changed cours…

I'm honestly surprised this issue in general didn't cause nearly every company to immediately ban all AI. Why do these companies put so much effort into fighting right to repair to…

I'd be very interested in more info, but am going to doubt this for now. Usually just the intra-day deformations of the terrain between the towers through hydrological activity sho…

As another EU citizen I'm strongly against it. There is a reason one of the 5Ds of the Potsdam Conference was "Decentralization". This is just way too close to the nationalist-wing…

It also applied to other things existing at that time, like warships, canister shot in cannons or machine guns.
