My only problem is the KYC. I'm happy people are making money with ads. The KYC stuff is contrary to the privacy narrative. Fix that and I'm sold as a user, publisher and ad buyer.

Additionally, when you're talking about something novel, users usually play games through tropes. Violating their expectations is almost a crime. It has to be done carefully.

It fits with the theme of declining globalization and increasing protectionism. Still it seems strange for an allegedly free and open capitalist nation to turn away capital. I suppose the political alternative would be questioning why the r

There are countries which prohibit foreign ownership of real estate. However capital controls typically prevent money from leaving, rather than entering. It will be interesting to see how this trend plays out.

I wasn't sure what the poster was referring to there. Hard to understand it in good faith. The examples given are good examples of things which can and have been measured and tested empirically.

They generally prefer the older rooster, non-broiler, heirloom varieties for soup here. You can easily find these in any village, but if you buy them downtown you'll pay about 3x. If you like the countryside it is worth the trip. You c

Given that some of his products are state subsidized, it seems a bit reckless on his part to upset partisans. On the other hand, he's made it this far in life without my advice. Either way, it is popcorn worthy Internet drama.
