Yeah that's is an attack on Netlify and not on him. It's them that should have protections against this. I argue that the customer can't even effectively defend against this themselves if they're using Netlify, which is turn means a court would likely get them off the hook for anything that can easily be classified as a DDOS attack.

Gotta swap the two rightmost ones, then you can do a diagram of X axis being brows and Y axis being mustache...

Not quite that easy either, from my understanding they're not paid like doctors in other developed countries, i.e. it's not a top paying job. And they see this as a threat to "solving" that issue. Now we could argue that doctors maybe are overpaid in many cases, and if they're "really" underpaid then opening up more slots for education won't actually lead to any more applicants, thus the shortage will continue until salaries increase.

So I still think that the doctor strike is iffy.

I agree the glee some have around China supposedly failing is misguided at best and just spurred on by propaganda.

That said the last decades of explosive economic growth in China is because they adopted more Western economic policy, albeit with more far reaching government control. Calling the economic system of China "communist" is misleading, sure it's the communist party that rules and set the system up. But it shares much more with a modern capitalistic system than the economic systems we've seen in other communist states.

As for political system it feels very ominous to read a text that very clearly hints that democracy is not any better than authoritarian systems. I also strongly feel that is a bit of a reverse from how it normally goes.

Democracy is the ideal state, the good in theory but with flaws in practise. Just as marxist / socialist systems are wonderful in theory but in practice has had problems.

I reject the notion that anything existing today is optimal. And I very much believe that the optimal path is somewhere in-between China and US policy for a lot of things. And to the left of China for some.

Finally, excusing human rights abuses by proclaiming "they do it too!" is just distasteful.

The lower part does lend credence to those proclaiming this to be one of the deepest of V-cuts...

A jean vest with integrated t-shirt arms is the perfect stealth garment, button up the vest and no one will know, unbutton and it's party time!

Proxmox is VMWare light in a good way.

Altman and short stints regarding being CEO or not, name a more iconic couple.

Some just eat a lot. I do sometimes, not frozen pizza but other stuff, but then I also regularly skip both breakfast and lunch or dinner without really thinking about it so on the whole I don't think I eat more than others. I'm around 60 KG. The one that makes people look is when I pack away 30 pieces of sushi while they ordered 10 pieces and are somehow satisfied. That or how I can kill a full bag of potato chips (300 g) in one sitting, a cool 1500 kcal of crispy goodness.

Not fully decriminalized no, you're right, but it has come a long way. And the step from illegal to decriminalized is much larger than decriminalized to legalized. The latter is also a way to boost the tax revenue and strangle gang income, with a slight risk of giving them legitimate revenue instead of illegal.
