It's not forgery so much as people using the same passport. People look similar.

Yeah, I completely agree with you. I think it should be highly regulated. I think billboards should be completely banned, or at most relegated to designated districts of dense urban areas. I'm in favor of banning products that are addi

Yes, of course, there's often dishonest or misleading or exploitative marketing. But that's not really what the problem is, since marketing would still be annoying even with that solved. The problem is much more akin to a tragedy

Marketing is just an attempt at persuasion. It's the most fundamental form of communication. It's intrinsic to being human and interacting with other humans, and drives the reproduction function for basically all living things. Yo

Who cares? There have always been layers of abstraction. I've been around for a while, and when I was a kid, the two choices I remember seeing were assembly code and simple semantic languages like BASIC. Assembly seemed like too crypti

That does not seem to be an accurate description of what has happened here. What it looks like is someone with significant biochemical experience and a Harvard PhD has created some kind of drug or chemical that he thinks will be effective f

It’s not legal. There is a current federal lawsuit on this exact topic.

Yeah but the veil doesn’t get pierced that’s super rare, which is more important than everyone’s emotional state.

Kind of a tangent, but as someone who's done both, registering in Delaware versus New York is actually basically the same process.

You have convinced me that there are in fact no differences between things, and that protecting children from adult content is indistinguishable from stealing from people, and therefore I was foolish to advocate for it. I stand humbly corre

I'm not disowning it at all. I think paying a recurring cost to prove you're an adult for purposes of accessing the internet is completely fine, trivial, and unimportant. You have to pay a cost to go out in public, since there are

I mean, if you really want to make the government subsidize an ID verification scheme or mandate that certain real-world locations provide age verification as a social service for everyone, that's fine. It's orthogonal to the disc

If you call pornograpy and violence delivery to children "providing them with information" then sure but most normal people just consider that a bad thing that we'd like to avoid and definitely would like to stop sociopathic

No let's not. Let's actually create and maintain a society. There are still places in the world where you and your family can literally fend for yourself against nature and rival gangs and so on if you're just super attached

Yes there is. You need to pay for a drivers license or a passport and so on. So there is an intrinsic cost to prove who you are where you are from and what your birthday is already. You have to pay for all sorts of small things to participa

Why should you pay for an internet connection, or a computing device with a screen? This isn't a serious counterargument.

This comment should not be downvoted. The original article lost me in the first sentence with this: "The literature on harms to kids from online platforms is complex and nuanced, rife with people citing small, ambiguous studies as iron

It wasn’t a net win for the consumer. The consumer is now much worse off than before and our country is weaker. It was just a mistake to allow ourselves to be ruled by the financial sector.

It happened over a longer period obviously, and what happened is the US adopted a failed industrial policy that saw our core manufacturing base shipped to China for the benefit of Wall Street and the financial sector.

Bilderberg, the World Economic Forum, and Bohemian Grove are also cabals of elite crazies trying to run the world.

It’s not possible to prevent these same children from getting alcohol or drugs either but we certainly don’t permit it.

Perhaps then you could at least vaguely understand the desire of people to avoid having slimy, rightwing, greasy friends of Epstein and other known abusers to ID and surveil their children. I definitely see both sides of this argument but t

These companies are clearly calling things that are R&D that aren't R&D. If you're building a model that lasts a few months before it's no longer the most current one, and maybe a year before it's completely unus

You just explained it. You can get a Chinese made car in China. That's kind of the point. They are smart enough to protect and support their domestic industries. We also have to do that, it's necessary for sovereignty.
