There is a very clear different from the consumer's point of view between paying a 20% delivery fee with no tip (and realistically having most drivers still expect an in-person tip) and a 5% delivery fee with a tip amount of your choos

The vast majority of the government are full-time employees without any express political allegiance aside from whatever they happen to personally believe. I doubt they are "deeply ideologically aligned with...domestic terrorism"

I'm not sure the answer to "centuries-old existential war between a bunch of Jews and a bunch of Muslims" is throwing Christianity into the mix.

"People who disagree with me about a railway company merger cannot possibly be reasonable, and instead must be mustache-twirling villains" is certainly an interesting take. Good luck with that.

WALLOFTEXT notwithstanding, doing bad things for good reasons is not in and of itself any better than doing bad things for bad reasons.

The idea that you should verify your legal identity to load a website is reprehensible and not something that should be treated seriously. It should be ridiculed like the authoritarian nonsense it is.

The UK is an increasingly authoritarian nightmare. The US should start a refugee program for UK citizens who understand what freedom actually means and want to live in a free country again.

And barely that. If one of these is to be taken at face value, you don't need to disclose fees and false advertising is not illegal?

A train leaving Seattle isn't loaded entirely with cars going to Philadelphia. Some are going to Miami, some are going to Texas, some at going to Chicago. There might even be cars in Chicago that get picked up by that train on its wa

Disputed does not mean disproven. There are reasonable people who think this merge would be good, and reasonable people who think it would be bad, and perhaps we can discuss pros and cons without acting like asses?

All this will do is put UK-based VPN businesses, if that's not already an oxymoron, out of business. The UK can't tell a company in Cyprus or Switzerland to do anything unless they're ready to tell the SAS to put their boots

A lot of countries in the Middle East throw gay people off the roofs of buildings as punishment, let's assume for the sake of argument that anything we do that moves us closer to the Middle East is the wrong thing to do.

Porn sites don't have any interest in keeping this law either. Nobody with a functioning brain thinks you should have to upload your government ID to a website to browse content, no matter what that content is.

Nobody has ever objected to blocking access to those sites. Most people think the justice system in any developed country is much too lax on people that operate those sites and create its content. This is a red herring for authoritarian t

If you wanted to do this for some reason you'd just do it across the board and say it was for age verification. The reason nobody does it is because people are (rightfully) not okay with this nonsense.

The consequences for lying about revenue as a public company are many orders of magnitude worse than lying about compliance with some private contract or TOS.

It's because of the insane taxes and government-owned monopoly on sales. But you'll still find apologists in this thread saying with a straight face that "it's actually reasonably priced" which is objectively false.

Air-gapped probably adds a zero or two to the highest tier Enterprise price. You wouldn't buy an Enterprise license for a personal project, why would you buy an Enterprise++ license (which is essentially what AG is)?

No you don't understand, this person writes quality code in an intellectually honest way because they use machines in a very specific way, just enough but not too much. Everyone else is just slinging shitcode. Good luck finding someone
