The argument against protectionism is that it hinders growth of all parties involved.

Very sad news. Stay strong, Matt.

If you don't have physical assets in Europe which can be seized then whether or not traveling Europeans decide to use your service is irrelevant. GDPR is not going to force you to take down your service in the US or India. It's kind of like a Saudi visiting California and requesting that local gay people be stoned as per the law of their land - not going to happen.

For those who say it's OK to be a president for life because he's a competent person: he's 64 years old. Brain deteriorates rapidly with age. The most reasonable person today can suddenly start rounding up Chinese who post memes on WeChat a year from now simply because of a normal biological process. That's where you need a system in place that strips them off power very quickly. History has had plenty Mad Kings.

Smart until Alzheimer's kicks in and he stars rounding up citizens who post memes on WeChat.

China is a hyper-capitalist country; referring to it as a centrally planned economy is intellectually dishonest.

Practical guide to developers - build your product in the US then expand to Indo-Pacific. Don't bother with rolling out to Europe. AI is the future of business & healthcare, which, due to inherent need for data, is incompatible with anti-data sharing laws such as GDPR. Population is rapidly aging in Europe (47.1 year old average in Germany, 42.9 in EU), so might as well set your business up for the long term by pivoting to the region where growth will take place (and where general population is more acceptive of emerging technologies that rely on easy access to data).

How long will it take for people to actually move in?

Consumers have a choice of not using the service. It's possible to survive without using Facebook.

"Drain the swamp" means different things to different people.

Is there any evidence that there's corruption in US congress?

A more practical approach would be to have an aptitude test for general voting (higher score means heavier weight for the vote). Additional requirements could be added to gate voter eligibility such as having paid more federal taxes than consumed via welfare in a given year.

All of these would, however, be unconstitutional, including the original proposal in the thread.

Me?

> The U.S., for example, demands that statutory prohibitions on products to protect human health should only be allowed to be passed if it has been scientifically proven that these products really are harmful.

Sounds like a reasonable argument.

Hats off to brave Elizabeth Parrish who put her life at risk to push humanity forward. People were dismissing her as a lunatic at the time of treatment administration. Now independently verified results speak for themselves.

"software tourists" - from now on I will be using this term

Can you elaborate on programmers and their offshore consulting companies? Asking for a friend.

- Illegal

What kind of shows?

It will increase tax revenue.

What are some smart dating strategies for a straight white male new grad in the Bay Area with 6 digits of disposable income? Dating market seems extremely competitive here.

About time the greedy corporations pay their fair share. #FeelTheBern

The difference is absence of evidence of illegal activity in the case of corporations.

These papers have nothing to do with Google or Apple.
