There's a problem there, though. The propaganda was basically various versions of "The government (when run by Democrats) is bad, don't trust the government."

If they put up a notice saying, "This domain was seized, here's the real facts!" the target of the propaganda isn't going to buy it for a hot minute.

If they put up replacement content that doesn't mention the government seizure, tha target of the propaganda is already primed to shout, "Fake news!" at anything that disputes their existing worldview.

It's best to just let those domains return like a 504 Internal Server Error and die a quiet death.

A "Library of Congress" for published web content maybe. Some sort of standard that allows / requires websites that publish content on oublic-facing sites to also share a permanent copy with an archive, without having the archive have to scrape it.

Sort of like how book publishers send a copy to the LoC.

Technically,

The president and vice president are chosen by the electoral college in separate votes.

Though, for some time, it's always been the winning candidate's selected running mate... there is no requirement there. The electors could pick Mittens the back flipping poodle for VP if they wanted.

Usually people that are either lying about being Democrats, or people very much stuck on a single issue and have decided that "The establishment" is wrong (yet, still, identifying as a Democrat).

Remember too that the President doesn't write the laws, and pretty much every solution for a single payer healthcare solution involves legislation.

Blaming or crediting a President for something that only Congress can do is a long American tradition, and an exceptionally stupid one we need to get over.

I find the AI summaries of reviews Amazon does on product pages to be fairly inoffensive and generally a decent use of AI.

But it's also clearly marked as auto-generated.

I see. It seems like you may be one of the people that try to coerce relational models into nosql stores like Dynamo.

Or course it's possible. They even trick you into thinking it's a good pattern by naming things "tables".

But if you're using Dynamo to its fullest an ORM is not going to be able to replicate that into a relational store without some fundamental changes.

I am literally in the middle of swapping DynamoDB for a RDBMS.

The idea that you can abstract away such fundamentally different data stores is silly. While I hate doing it now, reworking the code to use relational models properly makes for a better product later.

Thomas Jefferson never added airplane safety regulations to the Constitution ergo, it's completely unregulated. Also, Justice Alito would like to cite a man with tapestries tied to his arms as he jumped off a cliff in the 9th century saying of course it's safe.

They'll still vote for him. The (R) outweighs anything a Democrat could do.
