I believe you just described MCP

And Australia! And I am from both.

I imagine you are right

Correct. The border search exception is essentially a run around the fourth amendment and is a contentious subject in case law.

I was with you for a bit. But I disagree on a few points:

• I don’t think she was dragged down as much by Biden’s reluctance to drop out so much as her failure to differentiate herself from him. You could make an argument that Biden’s late exit and the lack of a primary worked against her. She also became known early on in his administration for being difficult to work with, but this might not have weighed heavily on the minds of a disengaged electorate.
• The “woke left” is basically ad hominem at this point. It’s a sort of shibboleth that right leaning voters understand but most left wingers and centrists tune out because it has been overused, sort of like “socialist” and “communist” before that. To be sure, there are irritating and unrealistic social justice warriors, but they are actually a minority and overrepresented in media.
• Gaza is a genocide. Don’t take it from me, take it from the ICC, the UN, various scholars, and many dispassionate third party observers. Not sure what you mean here, but in my opinion, genocide is not something to compromise on for the greater good. Kamala would have been better on this issue than Donald Trump, but this is a huge miscalculation by the people advising her.
• Denunciation of the far right is consistently a problem for Democratic leadership, with a few exceptions.

Democrats do need to realise that elections but particularly presidential elections are a gut check. People vote for the president that leads boldly and fearlessly. Someone who has conviction and doesn’t seem to deliver messaging that has been pre-planned. When Trump was shown to be inaccurate during the campaign, people liked him more because he appeared to be speaking extemporaneously.

I think it was Buckminster Fuller? And Bertrand Russell? Who made similar predictions. What about the last hundred years had indicated to Mr. Gates that the number of hours worked will change?

There are plenty of trustafarians doing this in California, I assure you.

They get bored and travel and also go visit the doctor when they need to but many come back to this bucolic lifestyle.

That’s so well put. I’m thinking of finishing my electrical engineering degree just so I can get out of the increasingly strange web app industry

Well they are in the category of bad MLK statues but yeah I agree oral sex is not very similar to a stern expression

This statue of King was also thought to be an improper depiction.

“We don’t even see his feet. He is embedded in the rock like something not yet fully born, suited and stern, rising from its roughly chiseled surface. His face is uncompromising, determined, his eyes fixed in the distance, not far from where Jefferson stands across the water. But kitsch here strains at the limits of resemblance: Is this the Dr. King of the “I Have a Dream” speech? Or the writer of the 1964 Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech?”

-Edward Rothstein

Agreed.

Being obtuse for a moment, let me just say: build it right!

That means minimalism! No architecture astronauts! No unnecessary abstraction! No premature optimisation!

Lean on opinionated frameworks so as to focus on coding the business rules!

And for the love of all that is holy, have your developers sit next to the people that will be using the software!

All of this will inherently reduce runaway algorithmic complexity, prevent the sort of artisanal work that causes leakiness, and speed up your code.
