Forbes 30 under 30 strikes again.

They won't make digital ID mandatory yet; the point is to make it as inconvenient as possible not to have a digital ID. It's likely you won't be able to do your taxes online without signing up for it. Then you won't be able to receive certain government services. Businesses will be able to use it, starting with banks.[1] It's just about making it more and more inconvenient until you're forced to use it because some service you can't do without requires it.

The Netherlands has some respect for digital privacy. In Australia, it won't be hard for the Americans to access this data. The point of data privacy isn't just about not giving up information. If a particular agency needs a piece of data, you don't want every other government agency to have access to it. A digital ID makes it convenient to aggregate everything.

Australia has tried this many times. They even satirized it in the TV Show "Utopia" (Episode "Mission Creeps")

AWS r7iz claim to be good and sped it up close to Mac M1 performance.

Did he say that? I can't find the original.

The Guardian article cites an article that cites an article that never contains the word "coup".

That's the definition of a "rubber stamp". They technically have the ability to reject, but they rarely do.

Ownership:

NYT - billionaire Sulzberger family

WaPo - Jeff Bezos

LA Times - billionaire Patrick Soon-Shiong

Disney/Comcast/Paramount represent the consolidation of an industry that used to be hundreds of independent newsrooms into a dozen or so corporations. The murdoch family's New Corp is regularly analyzed as a political force on par with individual elected leaders, if not more so.

Entertainment: Apple/Amazon/Comcast/Disney/Sony/WarnerBrosDiscovery/Paramount

The problem is that the industry has consolidated into a number of players you can count on one hand.

What is the ongoing cost of the price of ink?

The real story is India forcing its censorship regime on Canada by threatening employees in India.

Facebook should leave India or be forced by Canada and Europe not to cooperate with Indian demands.

Otherwise, the EU is letting India censor its own citizens.

So India couldn't extradite him. There are many people North Korea would like to punish but can't extradite.

You seem to be implying that if India couldn't extradite him, they should kill him.

The comparison to 'morals clauses' is apt: it was used mostly to force Christian, anti-Communist, and later pro-China stances on actors lest they harm the 'reputation' of the studio.

It's not a good thing.

Where is this—the record of the old ones?

Mandatory reminder that this narrative of "individual impact" was created and pushed by oil companies to shift blame from them to consumers.

That sounds like totalitarianism.

Are there fair elections in Bangladesh? Why does this not hurt their election chances? Why would a people tolerate this of their government?

Did he reshape the art world or the art trade? Artists or art traders?

It's quite likely that the purpose of this story is to push a narrative for anti-encryption advocates. Cf. US and UK pushes against encryption.

The British government has been oppressing the people of the British isles long before and after the empire...

Can you cite a source?

Yeah, that's just aging, fortunately.

MN, so "remaining 47"

> While free speech and access to information is almost always a good thing, people raised with western values should not overlook that the east does things a little differently

"'The East' does not respect freedom of thought" is a sentiment one would be castigated for expressing in the West.

Accidental humor:

> Observers on both sides say that limitations on the clauses will compel employers to get more creative about how they retain talent, using everything from compensation to career advancement to keep workers engaged.

Hmmm...we wouldn't want that now, would we?

Yes, but that can store terabytes to petabytes of cached data.

Please share the details of the MySQL ones!

I said "postgres" because I didn't want to say "SQL" and include crazy systems with SQL query interfaces.

Can you flag posts for feature releases where the feature isn't actually released?

It seems like every day that there's a glowing announcement, and then "Give us your email and we'll tell you when X is ready!"

> something other than the feature's merit would be pushing for its inclusion

What do you mean?

That's an interesting idea, but is it true?

Is this true? Consider:

> Elliptic researchers received offers from more than 90 China-based companies to supply fentanyl precursors, 90% of which accepted cryptocurrency payments.

But if they bought it, would the fentanyl precursors arrive?

But is it true? What evidence is there?

This is a plausible explanation but is it true?

But what is the relationship between archive.is and the user who installed the extension?
