If you don't wear a seatbelt, you can be ticketed. Not only is enforcement practical, but it has a measurable impact on behavior. If you use a VPN to visit a porn site to bypass age verification, you haven't broken the law as it a

We saw the EU's commitment to Article 42(7) when France invoked it in response to the Bataclan attacks. To say it was underwhelming would be an understatement.

What part of that has the US not honored? Did we (1) fail to respect their borders? (2) Threaten to use force, invade them or use those nukes against them? (3) Wage an economic war against them? (4) Fail to seek UN Security Council action i

It has been honored by the US and UK. The only obligations it imposes, besides not attacking Ukraine, is to seek UN Security Council action should Ukraine be nuked. I don't know why people keep trotting it out like it's a comprehe

Simply turning off ADP for UK users seems like it wouldn't satisfy the UK who likely wants the keys to people's data who live outside the UK as well. So Apple either has to fight this in court, compromise security worldwide, disab

Only ~13% of the world's phosphate is mined in Morocco today, so it's a rather different situation. And of course, phosphate reserves are only a small portion (0.02%) of the world's estimated phosphate resources.

So as right as one could reasonably expect in 2019 and 2020, but overly pessimistic in 2022? Admittedly, one would have had to been blind not to see the 2020 recession coming. Whether it would have been a full blown depression absent stimul
