  • Canada specifically won’t issue .ca without proof of residence in the country, or something close to that.

    I think .io is unfortunately administered by a group outside of the country it’s related to. Which means they have less control at the moment (something something British colonialism or something)

    But yeah imo country code tlds should be limited to businesses / people who reside within the specific country.

    We have soo many other tld options that are better choices.




  • Sure for newcomers to a project like the Linux kernel they have to learn C , because that is what the project is currently written in, but trying to transition the Linux kernel to rust forces people who already are contributing to go and learn rust to be able to continue what they were already doing. And sure you can argue that it’s being done so not everything has to go over at once, but there is a level of rust knowledge required at the interface between the two languages, and that burden is as far as I’ve seen being forced on those long term contributors.

    It’s not the same thing.

    It’s not odd at all that people are willing to take the vaccines. Hundreds of doctors and scientists have been involved in the process of determining how viruses work, how the body fights them how we can use that to improve the bodies response and then how to safely package that for delivery to every person in the country.

    There is no blind faith here except for that of doubters, just literal thousands of hours of dedication and science.

    Go lookup CANDU reactors, we have designs already that can’t steam explode themselves and instead will fail safe. Also just to be clear nuclear reactors don’t perform a nuclear explosion if they fail, the Chernobyl explosion was a steam explosion that threw nuclear material into the air.
