At no point did they imply that Michigan currently requires voter ID. Arainach gave you an example of disparity in ease of voting.

As a separate point, they preemptively mention that a similar disparity exists re/ getting an ID, which is what you're trying to add as a requirement. It's a straightforward argument.

So where do you get "that Michigan makes it difficult to get an ID for voter suppression purposes"?

It would be interesting to see how that number changes if we excluded governments overthrown by the US.

I've been trying to understand the logic of this comment for the last five minutes, but genuinely the only explanation I can come up with is that it's satire.

Just wanted to say that these questions would indeed be great to have answered, or at least discussed. It's weird how cultish some people get.

I'm confused - the last sentence of your quote seems to explicitly state that mRNA vaccines are not gene therapies.

I also don't understand your larger objection. Your quote seems to say that the only difference compared to a regular vaccine is that the antigens are produced inside the patient's body, but the vaccination mechanism is literally the exact same. So why would you object to calling it a vaccine?

I'd just like to note: this article has 107 comments, of which you've posted 29, all in support of Bolsonaro and using the same rhetorical tactics as Trump supporters keep using.

Let's assume I'm talking about the same market as the person I responded to.

> And unlike a lot of things, media doesn't expire. I still regularly find albums, movies, and books from decades ago I enjoy today.

Media doesn't expire, but with increasing distance to the cultural context it was created in, enjoying any work in all its nuances becomes harder. Take for example Arrested Development - one of the funniest TV shows of this century, but unless you bring sufficient knowledge on the Bush Jr. administration, you'll miss the funniest layers of many jokes and stories.

And it gets all the more interesting to look back at how the Zeitgeist changed over time, as tropes evolve and tastes keep changing.

Project Hail Mary! I loved it, will definitely be a yearly rewatch for me.

Yeah, seems that way - at least the editor space has a lot more competition than GPUs, so we don't have to put up with it.

In the end, I'd love to see Jetbrains pull themselves together and return to their former glory. But I don't know if I'll ever give them another chance since their pricing structure heavily punishes unsubscribing. Since the bugs pushed me over that ledge, it'd seem that they should offer lower prices, not higher ones!

I couldn't agree more with your comment, especially the first paragraph. It feels like there's always someone ready to play the devil's advocate for corporations, so subsequent discussions happen mostly under unrealistic assumptions which happen to align with the companies' goals.

Oh, I've never really tried that one. It probably goes much further than the DB integrations in Webstorm etc., right? Do you have any favorite features that could be interesting to look at?

> But, they still have a solid IDE

Which one exactly? I used to love Webstorm and Rider, but there were so many workflow-breaking bugs in each new release of Webstorm that I switched to VS Code. I still use Rider, but I've stopped my All Products subscription, because new releases usually decreased the amount of well-working features (and new features often didn't work at all).

Around 2022 I'd have agreed 100%, but these days not so much.
