They won't make digital ID mandatory yet; the point is to make it as inconvenient as possible not to have a digital ID. It's likely you won't be able to do your taxes online without signing up for it. Then you won't be able to receive certain government services. Businesses will be able to use it, starting with banks.[1] It's just about making it more and more inconvenient until you're forced to use it because some service you can't do without requires it.

The Netherlands has some respect for digital privacy. In Australia, it won't be hard for the Americans to access this data. The point of data privacy isn't just about not giving up information. If a particular agency needs a piece of data, you don't want every other government agency to have access to it. A digital ID makes it convenient to aggregate everything.

Australia has tried this many times. They even satirized it in the TV Show "Utopia" (Episode "Mission Creeps")

Did he say that? I can't find the original.

The Guardian article cites an article that cites an article that never contains the word "coup".

Ownership:

NYT - billionaire Sulzberger family

WaPo - Jeff Bezos

LA Times - billionaire Patrick Soon-Shiong

Disney/Comcast/Paramount represent the consolidation of an industry that used to be hundreds of independent newsrooms into a dozen or so corporations. The murdoch family's New Corp is regularly analyzed as a political force on par with individual elected leaders, if not more so.

Entertainment: Apple/Amazon/Comcast/Disney/Sony/WarnerBrosDiscovery/Paramount

The problem is that the industry has consolidated into a number of players you can count on one hand.

While free speech and access to information is almost always a good thing, people raised with western values should not overlook that the east does things a little differently

"'The East' does not respect freedom of thought" is a sentiment one would be castigated for expressing in the West.

Accidental humor:

Observers on both sides say that limitations on the clauses will compel employers to get more creative about how they retain talent, using everything from compensation to career advancement to keep workers engaged.

Hmmm...we wouldn't want that now, would we?

Please share the details of the MySQL ones!

I said "postgres" because I didn't want to say "SQL" and include crazy systems with SQL query interfaces.

Can you flag posts for feature releases where the feature isn't actually released?

It seems like every day that there's a glowing announcement, and then "Give us your email and we'll tell you when X is ready!"

Why I Left Rust 3 years ago

something other than the feature's merit would be pushing for its inclusion

What do you mean?
