The Supreme Court would veto it as unconstitutional even if passed. https://www.npr.org/sections/money/2019/12/17/787476334/is-a-wealth-tax-constitutional

This is a Kendall Roy move.

Warrants are required for U.S. Mail. Likewise, the government should not have warrantless access to all electronic communication. It's an outrageous position.

The Xbox 360 remake is awesome. Sadly, it is not available for purchase or backwards compatibility, as the publisher dissolved.

Anyway, I recommend this trailer: https://youtu.be/6pDy-CSFsPs

I really don't even think the votes table would need to itself be federated; it could just be on the user's instance. Upvote/downvote would be a call, but it should really only require the post or comment ID and voter instance. If an instance spams votes, those upvotes/downvotes could be deleted and the instance defederated

There might be possible technical solutions to this using hashing. Hashing is like encryption in that the original cannot be extracted, but the hashed result is unique.

For example, a solution would be to have a VOTES table with an indexed column that is a hash of a combination of the user ID, post ID, (and perhaps another "salt", not sure). When a vote is made, the VOTES table is checked that the record (vote) does not already exist, gets an insert, and then a COUNTER is triggered for the actual vote count. (COUNTER is a db command that simply updates a counter). The hash would prevent multiple votes from the same user (as the salted hash is unique), and it would also prevent identifying who the user is from the table.

I returned a Gameboy Micro. I really want one now and I could have just kept mine from back then

I'm surprised by the pushback (although I haven't read the books and thus did not have any preconceived notions). I loved season 1 and have watched it multiple times. I love shows that builds a world, and this one does so epically. I also am intrigued by the immense time scales involved. I also thought the pacing of the mysteries introduced was very good (I've been a bit disappointed in Silo for that reason). Anyway, I can't wait for season 2!

Since Toyota is way ahead with hybrids but behind with EVs, this would be a way to tell the public, "wait, don't buy a competitor's EV, because we'll have something 100x better in a year or so."

I hope I'm just being cynical, because solid state batteries do sound awesome. I wonder was the weight difference would be

I could always add 'Reddit' to a Google search and get information from real people. With the rise of bot sites/articles, this was my way of getting answers online.

Lemmy is great for learning new or interesting things, and I'm glad it's here. I just am not sure how to get answers from real people anymore
