It sounds good on the surface.

My biggest issue with this :

1. are they going to make cryptography illegal? If not then they are not going to get anywhere. Will they make FOSS illegal? Device ownership? Math?

2. Who is going to do the surveillance? The Yankees? Russians? Chinese? It is a free economy so basically a gigantic security hole.

If someone actually knows the answers please help me understand how these issues are resolved.

When you use a cup, we use a deciliter-cup. I agree that cooking gives intuition on units. But who will buy a deciliter cup if no recipe uses deciliters?

At this point it seems hard to ban the internet. But especially impossible for the backwards Taliban that have lived in caves for the last 40 years.

I doubt that they know that they just started a whack-a-mole

How would you convert to e.g nautical miles?

How do you do weight measurements? I noticed a lot of Americans use grams

I actually loled

I live on the edge

Mine, but I didn’t cut my toenails, so today’s its 1/26th foot longer that the normal foot.

If Americans don’t stop the foot thing soon I will bring back the havoc and destruction of using local measure!!

No I will not define it. I will just tell you I ran 2/3 mile and that I am prussian, now you have to look it up, convert it to meters, convert that back to your mile and then you know what I am talking about.

Btw this mile is way easier to remember because a mile is 24000 feet.

Monopolies are very expensive for the society.

I am not very skilled in economics but i feel like software scales really well, so the supply costs should be more flat. And maybe even negative. Meaning that the producer surplus will actually be a lot larger than the heuristic example here. Meaning that Gates has robbed us even more.

Is that how Americans make screenshot?

It auto-saves every now and again. Just exit.

Why not call it decentralization? Because that sounds like an actual good thing.

When the “generate AI response” button come that’s when shitposts hit the fan for sure.

Linux can only do 1080p resolution haha

Flabbergasted even
