I've got no clue what China is really wanting with the seafood ban

To stir conflict and make Japan out to be the bad guy using misinformation.

From experience with their results in a similar field: no.

When you sell lemonade that rarely has caffeine and make it as caffeinated as coffee you need something that stands out and will always be noticed.

No, adding some stats at the bottom of the sign that are easily missed do not count.

AI ethics people aren't about privacy.

They're running around pretending there is some imminent technological singularity that's going to wipe out humanity and we have to stop it before it happens.

I have no issue with privacy, but AI has very little to do with privacy beyond "don't let the government track you".

Those agencies don't have relevant experience and this will largely be guided by shitty upper level breauricratic types.

They're unemployed for a reason. They're a cult and not actually doing anything worthwhile.

Zoom out slightly.

That's true, but you can eliminate like 90 percent of the risk with appropriate AND VERY BOLD labeling

Yeah, but there's a fine line between someone drinking an energy drink and someone drinking lemonade.

The problem here is that it isn't directly and obviously intuitive that lemonade has tons of caffeine. It should be.

Put it this way. Someone died. The labeling wasn't enough.

You are suggesting people who have a rare air condition to spend their whole life in constant fear every single thing the eater drink having caffeine in it and it'll eventually kill them.

It's just not sustainable and not reasonable, it's so easy to just put a big bold warning label when things have caffeine when you wouldn't expect it.

I read or research absolutely everything I consume at a restaurant

Generally if this is your standard people will die

They have a supply. It's based on their cost to produce.

companies are looking at extracting maximum value for them. You seem to dislike that.

With artificial region locks that shouldn't exist. Open markets are better, and the bigger the market the better it is.

It's the truth and nothing but.

Would you like to point me to the secular and accepting middle east so I can revise my understanding?

Literally just open up a few games in steam DB. It's a smooth gradient of nations with differing prices. It would absolutely not be negligible.

Forcing global prices will mean that the revenue maximizing price for the first world will do down.

Publishers will not just ignore the global markets. They will just be forced to sell their games for actual value instead of "how much you can pay"

Police can't just jump to wild ass conclusions like this. You're asking for police state tactics here.

The alternative is not listing in those regions, not lowering prices for you

The alternative is marginally lower prices for the first world and higher prices for the third world as the prices become global instead of a massive grift which charges you based on how much money you're able to spend.

The president has no business coordinating with social media on any issue.

Yeah they are.

The game is being sold to the third world only exist because the first world is paying as much money as they are.

It's literally a scheme to extract more money out of people. It should be illegal to prevent people from the ability to use things like VPNs to get those cheaper prices opening up the market and ensuring the prices actually match supply and demand.
