I think you may have missed my point.

.gov is not the same as .gov.us (in this example, .gov is not the tld, .us is) Tlds like .io belong to countries, there is no going back to .gov or .com because countries outside of the US never just used .gov or .com.

To add a bit of context:

https://www.parliament.uk/ https://www.parliament.lk/

How do you reconcile both of these websites having .gov? You can't, you either need second level domains (.gov.uk,.gov.ik) or you would need one of them to change their name (parliamentsrilanka.gov)

.gov needs to be differentiated, and you need all of these country TLDs for that.

You could create your own DNS server with its own routes and registrars.

If you got enough people to use your DNS network you could create your own registrars and your own rules.

Users would need to switch to your DNS, but otherwise there isn't anything about how the Internet works that requires you to use the big dog DNS

Who gets .gov? The US?

Other countries never used just .gov or just .com.

Vote manipulation definitely has a benefit, comments and posts are still voted, and public sentiment is still swayed by votes.

Yes, honestly the fact that 'youtube music' is literally just a different frontend for YouTube drives me nuts, it goes both ways, the YouTube app for TV doesn't have proper features either, it's unclear if you are getting the music or video version and the most egregious of them all imo, on the TV app, you can't freaking browse for a different song while music is playing, you have to stop the song to go to the search bar.

Cli doesn't make much sense to me either when the *arr suite has a well documented rest API already.

They don't convey the same information.

Infinity isn't really an amount of something.

With docker it's quite easy (assuming you are familiar with docker)

But docker / containerization is a skill that becomes really really helpful to learn if you are interested in this type of thing.

That's possible though, if there are some really bad drivers screwing the average.

Edit: it's probably even true in this case, it just depends on how you define 'good'. For example if you define it by getting tickets, only 36% of drivers are issued tickets. The average number of tickets issued is > 0 but the majority of drivers aren't issued tickets, the average is skewed, because most drivers are at 0.

Yes, general investing is not zero sum, however many methods of advanced trading are. Options trading, which is prominent and easy to access on Robinhood, is much closer to gambling (and is treated that way by many users) and is zero sum.

Most active trading strategies require successfully arbitraging, or extracting inefficiencies out of the market, and you can't do either of those things without someone else losing money.

Passive investment is investing in the companies that underlay the market, active trading is extracting value out of the market itself.
