I may have glossed over the technical details, but my point remains valid.

It's worth pointing out that DNS servers are not federated. There is a central master list that all other DNS servers replicate. This authoritative list is a single point of failure, particularly with regard to censorship.

Jokes on them. I didn't even care about the API thing.

I followed the Daystrom Institute community from reddit to startrek.website.

In the context of this discussion about attitudes towards CA, the fact that CA is held to a higher standard than other states is worth talking about.

But it's not clear what they're trying to say.

That sort of self-gratifying nonsense only works if the target is more successful than you.

Using it against a target that is less successful than you would be picking on people who can't defend themselves.

Notably these are all problems in other states too. Most of them just use police to lock them up instead. Not better.

They don't always lock them up. Sometimes they put them on a bus to California.

California's natural beauty is world-renowned and a major tourist draw.

I'm a theoretical theoretical physicist. That's double the theory.

I have a theoretical degree in nuclear physics, and it seems to me that sub-atomic scale events like quantum tunneling suggest that reality is neither fully determined nor fully chaotic, but something in between: probabilistic. Whether we can consciously affect the probabilities of our own actions remains an open question, but we can at least say that causality is not the whole picture.
