In Trump's original post, he is "calling for" the rate cap, which I interpret differently to "mandating" a rate cap. The Guardian article seems to think that the executive has no authority to compel banks to comply,

I was once in South Africa and needed to look up my prescriptions in the CVS app. I had lost my pills and needed to show a local pharmacist what I needed. CVS geoblocked me. Luckily I had a TailScale exit node running at home, which solved

That doesn't refute the original point, though. Apple Podcasts and Google Podcasts are products that embrace the open podcasting model. Spotify and Youtube Music do not, and these are the products that the original comment is referring

Well, I'll go a step further and say that 3.6mm/yr is not evidence of a crisis.

Back in 2006, our expectations were set when An Inconveient Truth contemplated what would happen if sea levels rose by six meters (in our lifetime). 3.6mm a year seems a bit meh in that context.

Well, the old-timers (such as me) don't really like what Spotify are doing either. A "podcast", in our view, conforms to a de-facto standard, the RSS feed. This is what ensures its openness. You have choices about where to ho

Again, I'm merely saying that spam control is not censorship. Your argument about participating in business relationships might have merit, but it is a different argument.

> You're somehow conflating not actively supporting a cause with censoring someone. No, I'm merely making the argument that spam control tools are not censorship because the user decides. I'm not sure how the paper supplie

> Is it censorship when your email provider removes spam? No, but only in situations where it is user controlled. In other words, tools that empower a user to control what they read is not censorship. In the case of spam, false positives

Alright. We apologise for incorrectly classifying our concerns. I'm sure that this error justifies the continued violation of our rights.

It does, at least according to several courts. This particular aspect of privacy is famously known as "The right to be forgotten." More info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_to_be_forgotten

We've also been presented with the sole intermediaries between the "science" and ourselves. If we dared to question anything, we were asked if we were an expert instead of the experts explaining why we were wrong. It's v

By some coincidence, I was reading some web pages of the TZ database, and your comment reminded me of this: > If your government plans to change its time zone boundaries or daylight saving rules, inform tz@iana.org well in advance, as th

Bitcoin was meant to be fiat money, but one without any central bank. Instead, it is being treated as a financial instrument where you make an "investment" and you can buy almost nothing with it. If you're being sold Bitcoin

Air conditioning is rare in South African homes. They keep cool in the summer by opening their windows and doors, and with swimming pools. South African businesses, however, almost all have air conditioning.
