I think it is well-past-time for people who go 'round genociding, in the armed-forces of other countries, to simply be AUTOMATICALLY removed from citizenship:
they can go get citizenship in the country they were committing crimes for.
Political-discretion obviously GROWS the Epstein-class.
We need high-integrity-systems that ACTUALLY & RELIABLY WORK, not more enforced-feudalism bullshit.

utterly-bullshit snowflakes…
Grow a pair!!
EVERYBODY KNOWS THE DIFFERENCE!
Idiocy.
The last point in the article is the real key:
using it as a base from-which to smash all of Earth that is contradicting the right-wingers who’ve got that base…
Bingo.
But the Epstein-crowd doesn’t get arrested…
Ah: he isn’t as white as the Epstein-crowd, that must be why he got arrested…
( seriously: they murdered girls, burying corpses out back, of wherever that place’s “back” was,
& he had others do it, in order to prove themselves to him??
& THAT gets protected-from-prosecution by our world’s ruling-class+systems??
it looks like Ghislaine murdered someone for him, for “her husband”…
the 2-facedness of the Rule of “Law” is kinda spectacularly-blatent, nowadays…
I think MLK Jr told us about “there comes a point when not-acting is complicity” or something like that, & … it’s absolutely-true. )

Absolutely-excellent analogizing, Hoomin: communicating the essence when many just left the wall of incomprehension!
Thanks for helping lots of people.
& let the graverollers do their thing.

might be what you’re looking-for…
VoterFrog, here, & Sims, give much better views than most articles on it, tbh, & that book also helps.
& if you want to get into Time…
Carlo Rovelli has some yt vids, including a lecture ( for us humans, not for the physicists ) on Royal Institution’s channel, & his book “The Order of Time” might be of interest to you…

His point that you can’t measure time, but you can measure change… seems valid.
& if “space” is actually a kind of process…
good luck, eh?

But nobody’s suing the schools for their textbooks-with-needless-“updates” extortion-rings?
OPEN TEXTBOOKS EXIST, & school-systems ought be legally-obliged to either use those, XOR justify coercing students into economic-abuse for sake of fancier ones.
etc.
This SHOULD be cutting both-ways: lawsuits going up AND lawsuits going down.
Since it’s only axe-chopping-down, then … obviously, then the people doing the “representing” are NOT representing the citizens in their ridings, but rather the established-special-interest-groups who’re profiting from the extortion students are currently subject-to.
Fundamentally, beyond all copyright-law, platform-exclusivity, etc, fundamentally, IF G-D put immense LivingPotential in a life, THEN it’s our obligation to be honoring that LivingPotential.
NOT to be snuffing it unless money is concentrated to a particular class, or pseudoperson, or cartel, or institution:
It isn’t that “information wants to be free”, rather, it is that LEARNING ought be free, for upright, proper, honest learning ( not evil/abuse/similar ).
The Scandinavian system whereby nobody can buy their way into higher-education: it’s merit-ONLY, & the public-education-system cannot be bypassed by money/status, THAT is more right, but I’ve no idea how they do learning-materials/textbooks.
Further, it ought be that learning & certification are decoupled: one ought be able to get learning at any institution, or even on one’s own, & then get certification independently of that-school’s-institution.
“Conflict-of-interest is the root of corruption” is a good rule for understanding why learning & certification need to be segregated, to break the cartel-system from education.
( that does, of course, require standardization of required-learning-for-specific-certifications, & many might balk at that, but if driver’s-licenses & pilot’s-licenses can be standardized, then I’m willing to bet that degrees can be standardized, in many subjects, too. )

ttbomk, emojis are legal function-names in both Swift & Julia…
The Swift example was damned incomprehensible, & … well, it was Apple stuff, so making it look idiotic might have been some kind of cultural-exclusivity intention…
The Julia stuff, though, means that you can use Greek symbols, etc, for functions, & get things looking more like what they should…
Also, I think emojis are actually better than my all-text style, for communicating intonation/emotion ( I’m old: learned last century ), & maybe us old geezers ought to adapt a bit, to such things…
That does NOT mean that cartoon “code” is good-enough, whether it’s cartoonish in plaintext or in emojis, though…
I’m just trying to keep the cultural-prejudice & the code-quality being distinct-categories of judgement, you know?
( & cultural-prejudice is an actual thing, though it’s usually called “religious wars”, isn’t it, in geekdom? )

TheRegister had an article, a year or 2 ago, about using AI in the opposite way: instead of creating the code, someone was using it to discover security-problems in it, & they said it was really useful for that, & most of its identified things, including some codebase which was sending private information off to some internet-server, which really are problems.
I wonder if using LLM’s as editors, instead of writers, would be better-use for the things?

EXCELLENT Article!
Now interested in Notifox, that person’s pet-project, too…
