Beep boop. No computers in sight, just fellow humans, fellow human! Boop beep!

Wouldn't it give them more rights? Before, anyone could scrape it and claim "Wikipedia's public, so it's fair game", but now Wikipedia can say "no, you must licence the content, as did OpenAI and Microsoft." That could give more protection against other AI companies scraping it for their models, wouldn't it?

Any tax imposed will always be split between seller and buyer in the market. If the buyer needs to pay a higher price they will buy less, but due to the increase being spent solely on the tax none of it ends up at the seller and they also earn less.

The degree to which each party "pays" for the tax depends on things like their ability to pivot to alternatives. Turns out that if you impose blanket tariffs on every single thing ever made anywhere on Earth all at once, and you have nowhere near the capabilities to produce all of that domestically in the short term, that you end up having to suck it up if you plan on buying anything (using parts) from abroad.

And I doubt such bold ideas as "let's upend entire global supply chains that have been built over decades on the vague notion that somehow the entire world collectively has been able to inflict harm upon the United States unnoticed and unpunished and I, the acting president of Venezuela, am the first American to ever notice this" uttered by someone who the rest of the world expects to be replaced by someone less... "imaginative" as this guy in less than 4 years (Lord what a long sentence) are enticing entrepreneurs to invest in moving every supply chain for every product on Earth to be entirely produced in the US.

As long as the rest of the world keeps producing as they are, you're dependent on American firms popping up to do it instead. But any businessowner of the scale required to be up for the task knows that proper international trade creates maximum wealth (which is extra nice for them because America is not traditionally known for redistributing this newfound wealth) and would prefer that. And if anyone willing to start one anyway despite all that also believes that this will all be over in 3 years, they'll never bother to engage in any process longer than that to start a business. And even despite all that, there's no guarantee that any American good will be of equal or better quality or price than a foreign good just because it was made fully in America. Especially if the idea is that this will be the case for everything on Earth. It's fully possible that you'll "hurt" the foreign companies (they'll just sell amongst themselves, it's the entire rest of the world, they'll figure something out) and end up in a situation where Americans have inferior goods at higher prices.

TL;DR: Tariffs do not necessarily lead to consumers paying for most or all of the tariff. Blanket tariffs just because are profoundly stupid and lead to consumers shouldering the burden.

(I don't know why I was moved to write such a long comment for such a minor technical difference)

I'd bail. Pick the bear, do my best to make a very big publicity stunt around it, then go to the betting offices. I'd tell everyone I cared about to go all in on me bailing and to give me some proceeds, and then bail. I dunno how much money this would generate, but at least I get something out of not fighting

It will be December 31. They'll put up a gigantically sized image on their website of the logo of the game. I'm talking, like, a gigapixel.

"After long development time, we have finally managed to release 'Metroid Prime™ 4: Beyond'. The Metroid Prime™ 4: Beyond video game for the Nintendo Switch system, Metroid Prime™ 4: Beyond - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition video game for the Nintendo Switch 2 system and Metroid Prime™ 4: Beyond - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition upgrade pack for the Nintendo Switch 2 system have been delayed to a later date."

Have a banner with information on why it is blocked, and have the only accessible page be of the Online Safety Act. Then, make that page list what counts as "(teaching) circumvention methods" and say that teaching others how to do those things is illegal. If anyone is truly interested in seeking knowledge and learning, they will be able to figure it out elsewhere

Wow, what an unfortunate coincidence. TIL.

... dafuq?

I'm with you with the fact that I don't believe there to be any serious botting attempts, but I didn't need a digital ID to sign from the Netherlands.

I think they will verify with the municipality of the person who signed whether they actually exist. Theoretically you could sign on someone you know this information for, but I think IP logging would burn you pretty quick if even one of those is bogus/duplicate.

Also, I don't know whether such signatures would be counted before any verification would take place

In case you were wondering

Just today I witnessed someone working from home who had to move to a new system at work. Part of the instructions involved deactivating their 2FA app, which was apparently still needed for a later step in the process. They were supposed to use a backup phone number in the account to receive a text code to sign in, but, of course, there's no backup phone number in their account.

If only their job used this scheme instead. sigh

Good to hear that. Scrolling through some recent posts here rings enough bells that the possibility would haunt me in the back of my mind for a while. But where to even start?

Thanks for sharing
