You can definitely talk about it. How else would people know not to talk about it? The behavior that the government penalizes is advocating action against the government.

But people don't talk about it. It's enforced socially. That's my point. You don't talk about Tiananmen Square, you don't gawk at Falun Gong protesters, etc. Even many Chinese expats act like this. It's just something people know not to do because they don't want to be seen as a bad person and lose friends, jobs, and so on.

That happens completely outside the government's influence.

Can you find me the law that says it is illegal to talk about Tiananmen Square in China? I'd love to read it.

What actually happens is that when you talk about it, you lose your job, etc. Rarely does the government step in. Which, and correct me if I'm wrong, sounds like what you're advocating as "free speech".

There’s no point for you to see. I asked a question: whether the original poster could see the political climate in Norway realistically scaling.

Maybe they’ve figured out something we in the US haven’t.

The US has 60x the population of Norway on 25x the land.

Honest question: given what you know about politics in Norway, do you personally believe Norway’s complexity reduction through agreement on common standards can scale to a country the size of the US?

Could 60 Norways mutually agree on common standards?

There is a separate high contrast mode under the accessibility settings.

I’ve yet to travel to a country of 330 million people or more with flawless public healthcare. Perhaps you could point me to one?

That really isn’t the truth though. What should be done?

I disagree. I think it’s important to take the time to develop a personally meaningful life philosophy. Too few do. None of us is facing starvation.

It depends—when I was at one of the really visible companies, it wouldn’t have surprised me if as much as a third of the people I screened had lied on their resume. I’d ask folks to write functions to count the number of times the letter ‘a’ appears in a string, stuff like that. Did not need to compile or run.

I had a person break down and confess, and we spent the rest of the interview talking about how their codecademy lessons were going.

Your phone can just use its camera(s) to figure out where it is inside a car.

Yeah, price controls? AFAIK most affluent countries have some form of price controls in place.

The unhappiest people I know are the golddiggers. They cannot escape the feeling that they’re being taken advantage of. That the pie is so big anyways, and they deserve a little more, you know? And oh look, here comes somebody offering just a little more. What kind of sucker wouldn’t want to get paid what they’re really worth?

They’re unhappy because they let other people control their sense of self-worth.

Having that option makes folks anxious about using their mouse when it’s not plugged in.

It is obvious. People will leave wireless mice plugged in all the time out of superstition or worry. Apple’s way elegantly eliminates that possibility. Anybody who wants to plug in their wireless mouse may purchase another.
