I've seen a lot of people saying how this will be unenforceable and so isn't something we need to worry about.

Except this could be enforced. Google came out with a proposal a few years ago for a method of validating the a request came from a "trusted" (aka, signed and with secure boot enabled OS), ostensibly to combat bot traffic. They dropped it after push back, but it still provides a blueprint for how this could be enforced.

If web platforms are mandated by law to enforce something like this then the web could be effectively restricted to only approved operating systems. There could still be a dark web, but with the weight of the law behind it, once anything gained momentum access to it could be shut down at the service provider layer.

This shouldn't be dismissed as a threat because it's "unenforceable", because it is.

This is pretty conclusively addressed by the Bell Inequalities and empirically tested. It's absolutely counter-intuitive and feels "wrong" but it is definitely how our universe operates.

The important distinction here (and I get it, analogies are always imperfect) is that the photograph analogy has "hidden variables". That is, each half is fixed at the moment of their separation and you just don't know what's in the envelopes until you open one. That's not how entangled particles work though, and which "half" is which is not determined until the instant of measurement, at which point the state of both are known and fixed.

Only if they aren't using customer provided encryption keys (is using blob/bucket storage) or an equivalent approach to encryption at rest, and make sure they're doing standard TLS for encryption in flight.

It's absolutely possible, and standard for any decent organization, to build their cloud architectures to fully account for the cloud provider potentially accessing your data without authorization. I've personally had such design conversations multiple times.

basedpyright includes some nice features that Microsoft has otherwise gated behind the closed source Pylance. There's also (in development) ty from Astral that I'm pretty excited for (ruff and uv have made writing python so much better for me).

I tried, and failed, to get into audio books for years. Then I listened to Dungeon Crawler Carl narrated by Jeff Hayes and what an absolute delight it was. There's no way I would've gotten even 10 minutes in if it was one of those soulless AI voices instead.

Zero argument on the larger point of Hitler's idolization of America (the worst bits), quite familiar with it already. Hitler also admired Jim Crow laws and wrote about them specifically.

My point is that I've never encountered a reliable source to the specific claim that the Nazi salute took inspiration from the Bellamy salute, rather than being coincidentally similar. The wiki page linked even purports the origin of the Nazi salute to be the "Roman salute", albeit itself based on bad history.

It's a point I'd love to be able to make when having this same argument with folks, but I'm not going to tell people that the Nazi salute was based on the Bellamy salute without a better source than a Wikipedia article that claims otherwise.

Your link does not support your claim

Later, during the 1920s and 1930s, Italian fascists and Nazi Germans adopted a salute which was very similar, which originated with the so-called Roman salute, a gesture falsely attributed to ancient Rome.

Do you know of any other accounts that would support the Bellamy salute as being the inspiration for the Nazi salute, apart from looking similar?
