Sure, but the issue here is that the default mysql "utf8" encoding is not actually utf8. You can write as many validation layers as you want, but if they are assuming that utf8 actually means utf8, they won't help, and mysql

Just for clarification, do you mean the actual flag waving nazis from ww2, or the "nazis" that exist today?

My point was that commercial air travel has been around since before 1990.

What about before 1990? Also, did you take a lot of flights as a baby that you remember?

Fair enough; thanks for elaborating. I just can't help but think that pfizer did this on purpose - not making redacted versions of their data, knowing it would take the FDA forever to do that if it ever got FOIA'd.

Of course people are going to cherry-pick things that suit their narrative from this massive amount of information. But that's the game. If there are questionable things in this data, then it's up to our public health officials to

For sure. I know if I had an opportunity to create and sell a product that would be all but required for everyone across the world, I'd hurry my ass up to create it.

Also, are people unaware that pfizer had to pay a $2.3b settlement in 2009 for fraud? It was the largest health care fraud settlement ever at the time. https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/justice-department-announces-

Well I for one am glad that FOIA requests don't depend on whether you like the people filing them. I find it absolutely ridiculous that asking for this data is seen as a bad thing. Why are pharmaceutical companies suddenly beyond quest

I highly recommend the new south park post covid special for anyone who still doesn’t understand what an NFT is or who just thinks the whole thing is kind of silly.

When I read things like this, I can't help but think of how no one went to jail after the 2008 financial crisis. $700k from a group of private companies? WHO CARES? Congress just said insider trading is ok when they do it, can we may

What do you mean "vivaldi business"? It's a free, publicly available web browser, isn't it?

A common response to your contingency plan is “oh great, another californian is going to come here and vote for politicians who will turn our state into california.”

Any popular movement to address corruption would immediately be decreed a "dangerous conspiracy theory" and demonized by the mainstream media. Any politician would be excluded from mainstream debates. And even if they could get in

And yours is a naive take. Money wins elections in America, and regular people who would benefit from such regulations do not have enough compared to the industries fighting against it.

But isn’t it the government that ultimately prevented the proposed regulations? Why am I supposed to ignore that?

I'm in favor of this, but I think it's a complete non-starter politically. It would largely affect the elderly, and the elderly love to vote.

It isn't about anyone dying, it's about crime stats that show that brown citizens commit a disproportionate amount of crime. If no one is incentivized to report crimes, then problem solved! No more racist crime stats. No need to a
