I wasn't talking about changing the (interpretation of the) law, but from your reply I would argue that you're the one who has a massive misunderstanding regarding the law, fwiw.

I'll definitely check this out, I have a microservice that I have rewritten in rocket, warp and axum that I'll port for comparison. Rocket was nice but has stalled, I read the author has health problems to focus on, so my go-to fr

The account seems to be up and running when I click the link. If anything this shows how badly people want to find anything to criticize Musk for. Accounts get flagged, give it half a day at least.

That could be some very bad PR in two years. Imagine "X got lost and died two days after his apple(tm) subscription expired".

> Yes, true investigative reporting is rare (and expensive), but good work is still being done. Still, it's weird to have to read about this at poker.org first instead of any "respected" news source.

Thanks for the link. It seems to me though, that it's no easier to explain having the illusion of experience than to explain actual experience (and vice versa). I've heard Joshua Bach talk in similar terms and I frankly do not get
