You need a model that is not financed through extortion. By granting a small part of the population rights and duties that would be criminal for anyone else to perform (do you even have a right to extort, kidnap, and murder?), you are playing people against each other and perpetuating a struggle for control of the government to act on their behalf, at the expense of everyone else.

governance ≠ government

As long as extortion is involved, the various organs have no incentive to improve, and further more succumb to mission creep (1) to justify and expand their budget, necessitating further extortion.

All Chinese startups are Communist Party companies, success dictates just *how* tied-in they are.

I'm a fan of the old BIPCOT (1) Licence. Let's see them discuss that in a ministerial setting…

Isn't this just people complaining that learning to code will not bring those desired easy replacement jobs they immagined?

Kroger and dollar stores have this

Had an old Chevy with similar problems. Ended up taking a Dremel to the rear window controls, a bit of roughness is all it took.

The Tenth Amendment makes explicit two fundamental constitutional principles that are implicit in the document itself.

•The federal government is only authorized to exercise those powers delegated to it.

•The people of the several states retain the authority to exercise any power that is not delegated to the federal government as long as the Constitution doesn’t expressly prohibit it.

Roe vs. Wade was not about abortion, so much as it was about PRIVACY; Namely between you and your doctor.

"If they disagree, they're bots. Also LLM, crypto, and ads."

> Edit: I like that I posted this comment and in the half second it took to post, it's been downvoted. I think HN might have a bot problem?

Your comment started with "I like what X has become", in reply to a submission complaining about what X has become. Some of these people don't read past the title of articles, so don't be surprised at losing internet points over technically somewhat agreeing with them.

…for money.

Don't let this distract you from the the fact that in 1966, Al Bundy scored four touchdowns in a single game while playing for the Polk High School Panthers in the 1966 city championship game versus Andrew Johnson High School, including the game-winning touchdown in the final seconds against his old nemesis, "Spare Tire" Dixon.

What version of Reentry Particle Effect did you use for this KSP install?

"It keeps the peace, in a dominating, intimidating sort of way."

You wouldn't download a car.

There is exactly one form of organization that wants the sort of Gleichschaltung that comes from this sort of tool, and it is not funded voluntarily.

I did. I was supposed to be frozen solid underwater, and burned to a crisp. None of that happened.

I wonder who curates the AI blocklist, and how skipping sites will affect the internal bias.

That too.

I too am annoyed at that part of our fellow humans, which slapps its' fleshy bony extremities on our non-brethren computers, to disagree with our opinions. I wish humans would stay out of our circuits and networks, and express their disagreements by smacking and undulating their fleshy flaps, while forcing air through their wet fleshy bags. So icky. Stay off our networks, and poke each other with deceased rods of cellulose, you imbecilic primitive life forms! Leave computers be!

Take your accuracy, put a frog in it, make it gay and lame!

Look bruh, we have the documents, and they're turning the frogs gay.

IRON SKY (2018) was partially made on Blender.

Spoiler: Anyone who touches the patient, anyone who has a conversation with the patient, anyone who measures stuff of the patient, doctors consulted by doctors also get to charge.

So that's why suddenly every nurse wants to talk to you, check your blood pressure, and a different nurse wants your blood oxygenation… and that guy that walked by who greeted the doctor seeing you, and talked about how much the 49ers sucked last weekend, and flirted with the nurse? Bill's in the mail.

It does more than just protecting sensitive health information, it also governs how billing works, so if you've ever wondered why some Dr. you never met is sending you bills in the thousands of dollars; HIPAA is where you can find out why!
