There's more to it than that. MCP adds the concept of the API endpoints describing themselves (giving agents context), standardizes how auth works, and so on. This could all be done by packaging existing standards, but MCP in many ways is packaging and organizing existing standards, minus the previous stateful-first design.

I do think a lot of the standard would have been easier if they'd been stateless first, and allowed for GET requests, but it evolved from a starting point that has since evolved.

Assuming things start getting weird about 18 months from now, poetry and uv have very similar semantics, so 18 months of comically faster workflows sounds nice.

By this argument, since Tesla regularly updates the software, no one can discuss the weaknesses in their self driving software.

Don’t disagree about finishing the task, but personally I don’t find more performant languages any less productive for the sort of programming I tend to do.

Lots of very smart people have worked very hard on Python tools written in Python, yet the rust rewrites of those tools are so much faster. Sometimes it really is the programming language.

Maybe a fine approach for the individual, but then the black market, and its general disregard for the law or the well being of others, comes along with them.

It doesn’t sound like you’re familiar with the case and why it’s being brought against Purdue Pharma. There is a whole lot more to this than “the drug” and “the person”.

You may be surprised to discover that services will filter traffic by location.

But Microsoft has misused their market power plenty of times, such as when they bundled Microsoft Teams with their enterprise contract at zero cost, destroying Slack's market value overnight.

In the aggregate, yes, but in the specific, no. Companies nowadays want to see which advertising channels and specific ads, over a given period of time, are performing, so as to decide how to better invest their ad spend

> China is neutral.

Neutrality in the face of gross violations of international law amounts to tacit support. And yes, I understand that you have addressed this point in your comment, but whataboutism gets us nowhere. If a country is violating human rights, they should be held accountable.

> Taiwan and China are recognized by the United States by international treaty as one country.

A treaty not worth the paper it's written on. It's clear that the United States would defend Taiwan militarily were it to come to that, so mentioning as a reason to punish China that China continues to provoke Taiwan militarily is very relevant.

> The reason for this is the US sees China's economic rise as a threat to its global position.

Ahh yes, of course, this war being entirely the US' fault.

Since the location of where the mud is gathered is considered a secret, I imagine it's more about giving people a different reason as to why he's there.

Disagree. First, it wouldn’t be $10 split evenly amongst a billion people, some people would end up losing significantly more than others. Second, we can’t speak to the real world consequences of massive fraud in this particular case yet, but in the case of the Bernie Madoff fraud, multiple people are known to have killed themselves as a result of their loss, so we can only assume similar outcomes here.
