Natanael

It does temporarily, on the order of hours to days. It's not designed to use the network for long term storage, just message passing

The information is out there, maybe reconsider where you're getting news from? Democrats are asking for healthcare to be protected, and are planning a vote for releasing the Epstein files. Republicans are opposing both.

Republicans are exclusively at fault because they have the speaker position AND a majority of members in both houses and can get back in business whenever. They just don't have all their own members on board yet, so they need enough Democrats to join to reach a majority, and none will do it.

So Republicans are stuck with a majority they can't use, and have to negotiate, and refuses to negotiate.

The Australians got there first

I2P already did that with their DHT network (remember DHT?). I2P Bote uses that for messaging

The most practical solution is something similar to particular features of GDPR - where greater scale / marketshare increase the responsibilities the company has, like increased requirements to support competitors (API compatibility, infrastructure access, etc) and prohibition against anticompetitive behaviors.

It's routing heavy. That's latency sensitive and really needs distributed components when users are distributed. And it gets more complicated when you're using many different local providers

If you looked closer you'd see they're talking about scale, not functionality. Anybody can build the functionality, few others have infrastructure that will keep latency low for users across the planet.

And yes they could use many local providers, except that significantly increase engineering costs

What's race based prejudice if it isn't racism? You can't just displace the original meaning and pretend the original never existed

Obviously it's generally much more harmful in one direction, but acting like people aren't all just people with the exact same biases, and acting as if which group has power over which isn't something that has kept changing throughout the history of humanity, and acting as if all of human experience is homogeneous (that all people with the same labels have identical experience), is all nonsensical extremist horseshoe politics stuff.

When you hear people on your own side defend Apartheid but for opposing reasons, you gotta admit those people have gone too far off the deep end. Racist extreme right people push it because they believe people are inherently different and can't integrate. Delusional extreme left people do it because "people of different status and power can't mix without abuse" and so they abdicate from the responsibility to support coexistence and mutual understanding, and so they end up helping racists push their policies.

No, I'm describing sending armed security that outnumber what the feds try to send.

If the feds think they still can instigate shit when outnumbered, they might end up starting a civil war - but the states wouldn't start it.

There's already other stuff like the health compacts in place between some states. Voting safety compacts might also happen

Yes, that's the order it has to be done in. And once GOP is out and voting is reformed, you can introduce better parties

It's rated xx

(any Fortran nerds around?)

Only the smaller states are at any real risk, and only if they don't cooperate with the larger democratic states to place troops to protect the sites

There's more than enough available to the states if they decide to enforce safety that the feds simply can't do anything
