I froze my credit with the 3 big credit agencies in the US years ago when someone attempted to open multiple Dell and other company accounts in my name. Easy enough to unfreeze for a temporary period of time when I need it.

Showing ID to vote wouldn't be controversial in the US if states made it easy to obtain a valid ID for the purpose. But states routinely use it as a backdoor mechanism to prevent people from voting.

Not every side deserves to be covered for each story. This is the problem with major media today, they give equal opportunity to people that have no idea what they are talking about. It's like one side says 2+2=4, the other 2+2=5, and

No I want to block both. I don't want to give devs the option of creating a function doSomething(String) that happens to accept MyType. If I need to call trim then I'll do StringUtils.trim(MyType.toString());

foo(UUID, UUID); foo(AccountId, UserId); I'd much rather deal with the 2nd version than the first. It's self-documenting and prevents errors like calling "foo(userId, accountId)" letting the compiler test for those cas

I disagree with term limits. I'd prefer to see the number of representatives vastly increased (no increase since 1929) and gerrymandering removed. I do agree they should not trade on the market. I think you misunderstand the risk that

Sorry but the risk:reward narrative is tiring. Many of these CEOs walk away with millions whether they succeed or fail, there's little to no risk for them. In fact, even they fail in cases they end finding another well paying executive
