After a bit of research, I'm forced by facts (NS records can be cached for an undetermined time) to see what you're saying. Thank you for teaching me.
The workings are, of course, a bit more complicated than what either of us have said (here's a taste), but there is a situation as you describe, where separating the registrar from the name servers, and the name servers from the domain, could save the domain from going down.
If a registrar goes out of business, ICANN transfers the domain(s) to another registrar.
If a name server business fails, you change name servers through your registrar.
You can't really fix registrar services in your name server, nor name server problems through your registrar. (Unless, of course, your registrar is also your name server.)
It's a decent testable hypothesis. If there were a center. Which seems obvious in the familiar mechanical way of say a firecracker. It certainly has a center with debris going every direction from that point.
However (to use a problematic oversimplification): what if the universe has a similarity to the surface of a balloon being blown up, where is the center?
Wherever you put your finger, the whole rest of the surface of the balloon is expanding away from that point. One center point is earth. Every other place in the universe also appears to be a center.
When looking at the evidence, data from telescopes and such, describing the expansion of the universe is closer to the balloon surface theory than the firecracker theory. Even though the firecracker theory is easier to comprehend.
A registration system where only registered parts are allowed, so no clean room (software engineering) third-party manufacturing? Every single part has to be registered with the original device manufacturer? This seems like a detour around right to repair.
The way the market works: You charge a competitive price that allows you to cover your costs and make a profit. If your product provides enough value to the buyer, they’ll pay for it.
In 2022, for the first 5 years, SSDs are looking more reliable. With more of a constant failure rate (1%/yr), than the increasing failure rate of HDDs after 5 years.
(Caveat: not just bit rot, but general failure data.)
Small enough to fit on a CD, which isn't everyone's definition of "small." There are, of course, much smaller Linux distros, less than a tenth the size; particularly if CLI is adequate.
In addition to traditional answers (Plato, Solipsism, Descartes, ...) this question is also the next-to-last step of coming of age: the realization that other people have minds, feelings, reasons, memories, and existences as complex, varied, and real as your own.
Though, rather excitingly, this does not reduce the questions.
Why is this shopping cart meme so prevalent ... I’ve seen like five unique memes ... three completely unique memes ... Why is this particular meme everywhere ...
Yeah, kinda makes ya wonder just what "meme" means. ;-)
They don’t have a water district because it’s literally too expensive to build and not because some taxes Boogeyman.
This is nonsense. It's precisely because of a belief in a "taxes Boogeyman."
Necessities "too expensive to build" for individuals are what taxes are for: water, sewer, roads, fire departments, etc. Individuals buying into 5-house developments without water are finding out the consequences of their philosophy -- and don't like it. And rather than recognize the predictable outcome of their belief, they demand necessities from nearby people more responsible than themselves.
In addition to the Texas stand on Medicaid expansion, from the article:
Texas is "ground zero" for the Medicaid unwinding, Alker said. The state leads the U.S. in disenrollments, with around 1.7 million this year, according to KFF.
The arguments are pretty spot on (with plenty of exceptions, e.g. efforts to privatize healthcare in each country; but we're generalizing here), not so much the conclusion:
not sure why you’re talking about expanding the very thing we’re politically unable to sustain as if it’s a way to sidestep the problem.
