I've had far easier experience joining my neighborhood community in a city as many of my neighbors are literally walking around. My last 2 suburban neighborhood communities were on Facebook and the groups were less "lets get coffee" and more "that car that drove by is suspicious". One of my old neighbors in a city occasionally had a TV and cooler set up outside for people to drop by to watch baseball.

It doesn't matter if it's Congress. At the end of the day America's internal governance systems are America's problem. The rest of the world should not care if a certain branch is causing issues, and frankly, is starting to come to that conclusion.

It's unfortunate for us, but we very rarely isolate individual government systems for other nations.

Perhaps I am misreading Op's post, but it sounds like that's what they did? If they signed to purchase it, is that not buying it?

A government structure that changes isn’t inherently bad. The US has gone through multiple iterations just by reinterpreting a document. Other countries tend to be a bit more explicit in this.

The US in 2026 operates fundamentally differently than in 1910, and both are unrecognizable to 1801.

The document was written when there were 13 states, and at best, appetite for a mere handful of others to join. For example, the degree of the weaponization of state-carving in the mid-19th century wasn’t in the cards. A 26 member upper legislature operates substantially different than one comprised of 100 members.

Not sure why you are deliberately misrepresenting the proposal here. You're free to continue working the extra hours. Maybe spend a few fewer hours working and repalce it with practicing basic reading comprehension.

Anyone doing product integrations should recognize it’s a perpetual risk but why stick to the platform that will require US citizenship demands for future models especially when there are other labs with reasonably comparable performance that don’t require this?

Anthropic didn’t have to beg for the government to deem their models a security crisis.

Repeating trite platitudes only makes your argument sound weak and tired.

Blaming her is not the right call on this.

The technology is absolutely amazing for the quality of life it’s given us, especially those with medical conditions, but the failure of technology in these scenarios can lead to hospitalization or death.

The customer care line requesting information about a plan means the patient’s care in a will-be life-threatening scenario was not prioritized.

Deprioritizing patient care when death is a possibility is a grim outcome regardless of where you live.

If you have enough money to hire lawyers or can figure out how to get in contact with a law firm willing to work with you for the exposure, sure.

If you aren’t lucky enough, you’re just screwed.

With plaid they get access to all of your account numbers.

HR just sees a single savings account that I strictly use for direct deposit. They don’t see my actual savings account or my other purpose-specific checking accounts.

I should have been more clear that I feel bad for the users.

I don’t have much empathy for Google.

> They've essentially gotten roped into maintaining a huge chunk of internet infrastructure, for free.

I’ll stop you here. Google offered it for free and, at the time, offered such an high amount of mail storage for free it sounded insane. At the time, my ISP gave me a 25MB or 50MB inbox and that was considered pretty decent, when Google was trying to get people in with 1-2GB.

They absolutely have a right to take ant steps they deem necessary to prevent malicious use of their product, and certainly aren’t obligated to provide it for free, but Google wasn’t forced to provide a free email service, much less one that went so far above and beyond their competition.

1) Apple has had a lot of functionality gated for many years. I’d buy the “they need to refine it” if they had a track record of actually opening things up without the hammer of regulation forcing them to.

2) This is a solved problem. You throw a “this is an experimental API, it’s interface may change”
