  • America went through huge population shifts, and changes of economy the last two generations which was much greater than the original Industrial Revolution in the 1700s.

    It sort of broke the neighborhoods being sociable places, destroyed grassroot movements, and prevented new parties from developing.

    Politics that is new, these are created in the communities and transition from the local to regional so to national.

    New parties cannot be developed on the internet.

  • Not only are there different character sets that seem like it’s Unicode, but the set in MySQL can change based on the session, the client, the server, the db , the table and the column. All six of them can have different encodings.

    Just make sure all are using the same 4 byte Unicode. Different collation is ok when backing up because only important when comparing strings.

  • There is a long list of things those payment services will not do, and reliance on any of them makes a federated service a polite fiction, forcing each set of server admins to enforce and ban many things on the possibility it could shut them down .

    It can only work with untraceable crypto, and even then we are back to the illegal market strategy, and why those markets are in the dark web, with most of them doing exit scams

  • I never really was able to get into the honorverse much; but the march upcountry series, by the same two authors who wrote some of the honorverse, I liked a lot.

    Upcountry was some of the best military science fiction I ever read. And here, for some reason, they struck the right balance for me, cancelling out both their negative ( for me) traits .

    It starts with a total loser of a prince and over time he finds his stride to be more of an Alexander the Great character.

    The battles range from medieval weapons to space battles with real time communication constraints, in the four books

  • And how can I get some of that money too, should be the chief concern of congress and policy makers .

    At this point I can be my most crazy self with these sentences and I probably would not be too off the mark, or at least decently inaccurate

  • “State sponsored” “china”…

    No proof offered, seems like a badly run company got hacked by a bored teenager and this is the spin to not have finances audited and to cover up bribes to use said company in the first place.

    Pardon: I’ve become cynical in my old age, here and there
