Not a new idea but its a good one. Its basically garbage collection but for laws. Another term for it is "sunset clauses" where a law must have reasonable conditions for expiring instead of being on the books for the rest of time.

What is that library name? Sounds helpful.

Is there a table of implemented RFCs? Something similar to http://caniuse.com where we can see what HTML/JS/CSS standards and features are implemented? If it exists, I can't seem to find it. Closest thing seems to be "experimental features" page but its not quite detailed enough.

Sounds like you are describing markdown.

You could ask the submitter to show a quick video recording of the new feature being used. Or if its a bugfix, show the failure scenario and then the fixed non-buggy scenario. If they can't be bothered to show a basic before/after demo of whatever they are working on, then you probably don't want to work with them and accept their code changes anyway.

Are we sure this is correct? The table shows ESP32-C5 supports CANFD but I cant find any info on CAN-FD peripheral, drivers, etc.

First time I heard of Atlas OS. How is it different from Windows LTSC?

Because they actively volunteer to do so.

Can you provide some books or links if so that I can read up on these misconceptions?

Can you expand on your first trick? What is the problem being solved and what is a practical use case? I'm not sure I follow.

There is always going to be some negative externality to anything humans do. No free lunch in any endeavor. You can find new uses for waste products or reprocess it to something less harmful.

The "water crisis" in California is an entirely political problem.

> Have you seen how hard it is to pass a contentious law these days?

So what? Not the SC's problem.

> Most people can agree about its merits but it's naive to act as if special interests haven't manufactured the contention and captured the regulatory and legislative processes.

So if special interests have captured the regulatory body, how is letting them keep (or gain) their unelected power any better?

> We don't have the luxury of proceduralism any more.

I can use the same argument about any topic we disagree about. Do you not see the problem with this line of thinking?
