But why are countries the best division? Why not continents, or unions of countries (e.g. EU or USA), or sub-country divisions like states, or even smaller regions? Countries don't have the highest possible impact on all people, that w

For those uninitiated, this is a quote from Dragonball Z: Abridged. It's a fan dub of DBZ until the Cell saga, with incredible amounts of work put into each aspect of the production. It's a true gem of the internet of the 2010s, a

This seems to be presuming that there is some clear delineation between acting and not acting, but going through some daily occurrences it's difficult for me to find an objective line, mostly because there are choices one could make th

Sure, but here we have a concrete example of a regulatory committee making a rule that apparently doesn't do what you fear. So it seems like it's certainly possible for regulatory committees not to do what you described? I get you

That's the state of the system right now, but it doesn't have to stay this way. It doesn't look like there's much hope for it given the current political direction, but it's possible that the system will improve ove

I don't think I understand any of your objections. When was Windows ever immutable in the sense of current immutable Linux distros? I wasn't able to find any reference to this ever being the case. What do package managers and maki

But you don't just have one type of drivers license for 300M people, do you? As far as I'm aware each state has their own. So it's not 300M vs. 80M, but 80M vs. 50x 6M people (incredibly simplified and wrong numbers, but you

Not everyone uses the same keyboard you do. With a German layout it's much easier for me to type double quotes. That's not to say everyone should use them, but reality is more nuanced than you make it seem.

How would you "handle the async" at a different layer? If you were to call sync crypto methods, they'd block the event loop no matter where you call them - unless you call them from a Worker, at which point they're async

Sure, you can manually do that. But my point is that pip doesn't do this automatically, and that is what makes so many Python projects essentially unusable without investing massive amounts of time into debugging. Good defaults and goo

The big difference is that npm will automatically (since 2017) save a version range to the project metadata, and will automatically create this metadata file if it doesn't exist. Same for other package managers in the Node world. I jus

Low performance is an example of just cause. The employer simply has to prove that this was the case, and that they gave the employee notice, a chance to improve, and a reasonable standard to reach.
