And voting is legislated by individual states, that would theoretically implement their own standards though this may be intervened upon by the federal government). Heck, even standardized testing for students is done at a state level. The SATs/ACTs are privately administered. What example of a nationwide standardized test for literacy do you have?

The problem (like with voter ID laws in the US) is that it's a very slippery slope to voter suppression, and in the US we have a very creative history when it comes to voter suppression. You'd have poll workers who would present incredibly hard passages to read to voters based on a personal judgement call (read: black voters).

I (not OP) agree that dumb people voting is a problem but the alternative is to have arbitrary suppression of votes, which IMO is worse.

I think this partially explains the phenomenon of external candidates at Google entering Google at the college-hire tier when they may have been repeatedly promoted at their prior employer. Of course the comp is usually more so it's not a big deal...

We (mostly) make enough money to do pretty well, might as well use it to enable ourselves to enjoy _something_ in life. For a while it was improv for me, now it's more powerlifting, but literally anything you can enjoy that's not work.

To clarify, I think it's good that this is a practice.

```x := potentiallyBuggyFunction ? genericErrorHandler("log message here", http.StatusNotFound,...)```

Where the `?` is kind of like a null coalescing operator, it might help?

Actually though this is a fucking big brother atrocity of a policy that people will inevitably circumvent and the government will pick and choose when to enforce.

For all the weird shit I put up with in my family, at least money doesn't really come up as an issue in that sense.

Clearly you haven't seen those crappy limited data ISP contracts floating around. It's an issue for some people.

A weird side story: I had a situation where an app on my Roku TV would crash if it failed to serve an add from a blocked domain (there were several but they mostly pointed to google ad domains). I actually _had_ to allow ads from the domains they called.

Never mind that they're underpaying... or that we lost half a million people in the labor force...

With that said, the product looks cool. Best of luck!

So many STLs are fucking unreadable. Golang's is the only one where I've actually enjoyed it a bit.

And that's why I won't be using it, why give it intelligence so it can work me out of a job?

Clearly China has no interest in maintaining Hong Kong as a livable place, so we might as well help out the people who recognize they're tumbling towards an authoritarian hellhole.
