   This is literally the whole discussion under this article. How can we act like it's a violation of something if it's not binding in the first place. How can we complain about western countries violating our privacy defined by some

   I believe in this case it's indeed useless as a set of rules. If we'd call it as it seems to be, a "suggestion", we could say it has some purpose.

   Members agree on it yet no one upholds it to the full standard. North korea is a member of the UN, so is China. If we say this is what applying these standards looks like, then this declaration is useless.

   I agree, human rights are arbitrary rules built to resemble some kind of framework for policy making in west or west-like societies. But the issue here is the selective enforcement of these rules. It's similar to geneva convention. You

   Imagine you maintain this system and somebody named X Æ A-XII Musk will try to register. Jokes aside. I know a person named exactly like me just with a small diacritic difference. I realize they use secondary identifiers but this is identit

   Remember "Don't be evil?" what the hell happened at Google? They appear more and more like supervillain company yet they used to be somewhat fair.

   Personally I think if you need a builder, you did something wrong in the first place. If you have a struct with so many defaultable values, you should break it into smaller pieces. Reasonable struct should not need more than 5 properties, u

    I feel like relational databases improved much since MongoDB came around. Since then there were tons of small projects but none handled the atomicity and solidness as good as SQL databases.

    I still don't understand why publishers hold onto such old titles. It's not like the contributors want to get rich from the source code.

    I hope somebody will pay their tab. The job market for toddlers is bad right now. It's like they are supposed to be reliant on their parents.

    1) You're burden for many life decisions. You're burden if you decide to smoke, if you decide to eat junk food and you're burden if you don't excercise. Still government should not have power to decide this. 2) So does n

    Well I'm against government forcing this either. It should be venues responsibility. You can always leave a venue that is smoker friendly.

    I'm all for vaccines but all against mandates. Vaccine is for your own safety and won't affect spread rate (that much). There are many procedures you can do to your body that can benefit you or others yet we don't act like it

    Just don't buy Apple, John Deere or similar products. There are better alternatives and you're getting yourself into a trap where seemingly only government can help you, just because you wanted to buy more prestigious goods.

    Internet was made for people but without google it would be unusable for most. People don't care about technology or freedom they want free (of charge) email and dumb-proof websites. Also getting politics into this is the exact opposit
