I saw a statistic that roughly 10% of the US workforce is in some form of "customer-facing service" role and I just have to wonder how many of those jobs are nearly gone, or already gone. Even if it's a 5% reduction, or 3% o

The blog author is confusing SSE the protocol itself, with how the application is typically implemented. SSE is great and can trivially be implemented in a way that allows history, catch-up, and resuming. The "Pub/Sub" ment

It is absolutely material to this story though? These people will likely serve their jail or prison sentence and then be forcibly returned to China where they will immediately undergo their re-education.

Well we know what happened to North Korea after China "won". And it's pretty fucking god-awful for 10s of millions of people for 80+ years. USA dropping nukes probably would have been the better outcome for humanity.

And maybe that's really the humanitarian failure. That USA didn't nuke China in 1950 or 1951. Would have solved a lot of problems for generations of people.

How can a VA health ID card be considered a valid ID? Maybe a supplemental ID, but I can't imagine it would be allowed as a primary ID for TSA screening.
