Sadly, there wouldn't be any laws broken if the new legislature simply reversed any bills passed under the Biden administration or if when the Trump cabinet pulls a 180 on executive branch policy positions. Kind of speaks to the need for quasi-independent agencies, staffed by subject matter experts and operating beyond the reach political cycle. A pipe dream at this point.

Yeah that's crazy to me. Of course it's sad that we are at this point but to suggest that the article shouldn't be written is just silly. What's the alternative? Just isolate ourselves in our little echo chambers? People aren't as intelligent as we'd like to believe. Moreover, confirmation bias and selective reasoning are strong behavioral forces. There has to be some middle ground between grossly unprofessional profit seeking and state run media.

It didn't help. Nor does the electoral college, gerrymandering, first-past-the-post, unmitigated influence of well funded interest groups, etc. But I think we just need to accept that people are stupid.

It does help them if they think retaliation will pressure the initial levier (the U.S.) to scale back their tariff schedule. It hasn't worked out like that but that's the theory. Also, China isn't as subject to popular pressure as western democracies. Yes, I agree with you, trade wars are wasteful, harmful, and just a bad idea overall.

Anyone have any good readings or discussions on what Google Play policies are being cited here as the major obstacle? Just curious to learn more.

Edit: 20 testers policy? Sounds onerous.

Can't remember the last concert I went to that wasn't a money making venture and wasn't advertised for me to hear about it somehow.

Sure, Vans undoubtedly benefits from exposure. But so do music fans who want to see they favorite bands, and the bands that tour to make money.

Awesome! Yep, definitely been there before too. Sometimes premature optimization gets you into more trouble: trying to set up something minimal when the conventional, more widely used approach "just works".

I will say you build more of an appreciation for how everything works when you have to struggle a bit. Especially networking. I was setting up a static IP the other day and took me more time than I care to admit to figure out it was a 0 instead of a 1 in my gateway. But I took some notes so next time I have to do that hopefully it'll go a bit smoother.
