Why does a second request need to replay the response? It seems to solve a ton of issues to just send back "request key already used" regardless of whether the request is the same or whether the previous request succeeded or failed. Is there a common situation where the replay is needed? I think of idempotency being important to deal with caching and the like, not something you should build your client around.

The full quote is "don't cite the deep lore to me, I was there when it was written". The intention is to imply that he was there when the thread was created.

well the full full quote is from C.S Lewis' Narnia, where Aslan says:

Do not cite the deep magic to me, Witch. I was there when it was written.

You need one to sign up lately I believe. Which is really all it takes if your identity is required for the captcha and gets associated with your account forevermore.

Tell that to the websites that make you complete a captcha on every login.

Rust is a significantly more mature language. Adoption of zig has to be done on the assumption that the language will significantly improve as your project evolves, and if those improvements don't agree with your project's goals you're in something of a lurch. Rust is basically finished and adopting it has to be done on the assumption it won't change very much. I don't know what their initial logic for adopting zig was, but I think porting to a more mature language was inevitable, unless by some miracle zig happened to rapidly mature in exactly the direction they wanted,

Has any of this stuff hurt their valuation? Then who says it isn't working?

what immense power?

You don't think Google having control over the most used email, most used browser, most used search engine, most used video website, and most used phone OS gives them immense power?

And what do you think they could do with those things?

Lawful is presumably defined in the usual, common sense, ie we can do whatever the f we want until a court physically forces us not to.

And since the court has no way to physically force anything - that's the executive branch's function, (it's right there in the name) - lawful has no meaning whatsoever if it's the executive branch that wants to break the law.

And the Pentagon has historically gotten away with damn near everything even in the judicial branch by appealing to national security.

Did we read the same article?

I assume that answers your question.

So once it's out of the experimental stage it won't be an intrusive hack anymore?

Ridicule doesn't work. It hasn't worked at all. In fact it did the opposite. The constant attention on trump since the beginning was what lead to his rise. Certain elements in the masses saw themselves in the ridicule directed at trump, and identified with him as a result. That's why despite being a total failure policy wise he was voted in a second time. You need to focus on the failures of his policy. Take them seriously. Demand they be explained to you, as citizens of a republic. When they harm you, express outrage. That is what hurts trump.

You are not wrong but also not right.

The CIA is toppling oppressive regimes this way for decades. You create friction, the oppressor pushes back, and the people gather behind the oppressed.

Ridicule and constantly calling out idiots for what they are does work. You create friction by it. Trump made sure the factory worker gets fired, people were pushing back by donating for him, and they will vote against him in the midterms.

Abuse of power directed at the citizens is something most people will not forget or forgive in a free society, no matter what political beliefs they have, unless they are facists.

The stuff Petti did, filming ICE agents, being in their face, openly calling them out, created friction. They killed him because of that friction. The whole state pushed back in return.

Creating friction is what makes Republicans losing seats in the Congress and allows the regain of power from Trump, who is mostly ruling by executive order.

As a citizen, it’s not your job to focus on the failures of his job and show them to the public. It’s what you voted representatives for and the job of journalists. You demand their inactivity to be explained by them over the phone, over mail, respectfully showing up at their office. All day, every day, the only time they should be at peace is when they eat, sleep or be on the toilet.

You create friction for them. It’s not the fault of the people that he got voted again, it’s that most of the Senate and Congress rather try to protect their own interests and power than openly confronting the President, creating friction, every day, all day, until the President pushes back. Which in return will have the people gather behind the suppressed, jailed, or murdered representatives.

You have a different method of creating friction in mind, but don’t do the job of the people you pay handsomely to represent you or that of the press. Your energy is better spent creating friction for them until they act. Then you support them when they take the heat they are supposed to take if they fight for your rights instead of just cashing in from their position of embarrassing passiveness.
