> ...so let's replace it with a system that imposes zero accountability on representatives whatsoever? That's an alternative, but not a solution.
I think the point is that accountability isn't as necessary. A random person will running the show after the next lottery, and whatever bribes and deals you have are probably off the table.
Hasura with graphql code generator is an amazing, type safe, and secure combo. I've never been able to develop a rest API faster, much less with documentation and type safely.
It might not be faster than rails/html, but it's a hell of a lot easier to reuse, understand, secure, and audit.
I use it, it's pretty good if you expect your project to grow pretty large. I wouldn't recommend it for something basic.
It can get hard to get some things working well. Eg expo, which has a 3rd party package, but it's usually pretty far behind on the version of nx it supports.
Personally, I've just started using blitz js for smaller things, no need to split things into packages.
It's not the same thing. The argument would have to be: violent video games lead to more violent video games, which, anecdotally, I would probably say they do.
> and it would all but eliminate any concern about an employee suffering psychological trauma.
I doubt this. If they were all images that this person happened to be into, maybe... But even then, I think it would likely make their addiction to child porn worse, which is it's own psychological problem that is probably worse for society than the trauma suffered by current employees. What happens when they leave that job, and are used to seeing hundreds of cp images a day?
Not to mention, that some of the stuff the scanner would be looking at would probably be horrific, and violent. Looking at that kind of thing all day would probably have similar psychiatric affects on pedophiles and non pedophiles. In the worst case, it might cause some pedophiles to start to like the worse images out of boredom from seeing so much cp.
Overall, I'd say this is would just be a bad avenue to go down.
Anecdotally, I have noticed I can basically eat an entire large pizza and still want more. Once we switched to making our own pizza from dough at trader Joe's, I'm stuffed after about 2 slices. I think the difference is that we don't add a ton of salt and cheese like a pizza place does.
A) that would be clever, and if the bad guys are that clever, they will easily find another way to share their stuff.
B) apple could simply make a policy that your Icloud will trigger a scan / review after x devices are logged into it within a certain amount of time, in order to make sure you aren't using Icloud as a distribution platform for something. This whole scanning locally on device wouldn't be necessary.
It's not a 10$ per year thing anymore though, for any reasonable domain it's at least 2k, because of squatters and bullshit.
Honestly, I don't think I agree with the solution as proposed, but IMO something does need to change, and this avenue could be refined.
EG pay a reasonable fee to have the domains parking status be looked appealed. At the very least, we could probably solve cases where I had ownership, let it lapse and someone re-registered for the purpose of extortion. Even if the fee was the same as the extortion price, at least the squatter makes nothing and has just wasted their time.
--
Another thought on expiration squatting specifically, is that there should be a grace period for the original owner to re register. Like 2 weeks. Enough that a site owner could notice the lapse, and get their site re-registered, without needing to compete with the automated bots.
--
Another avenue could be domain owner reputation. Where you need to have a reasonable reputation to buy a recently expired domain. A bigger company could co sign for you for a fee, but they would be risking their own reputation.

I think there are probably a lot of other, better ideas, and we should all persue them. If only there were the political will power to make it happen. There is probably already to many entrenched stakeholders to ever get real change.
Maybe there should just be a DNS 2.0, the whole system is rethought from the ground up.
Sounds like a potential Blockchain startup idea. I guess I'm about to spend the next week researching, and or writing a white paper.
Around 2010, I separated my shoulder and couldn't move my arm. I went to the er and got checked out.
A few days later the insurance company called and said they didn't want to pay for the visit because "it wasn't an emergency". I very calmly explained that their position was nonsense, and I went to the ER because I COULDN'T MOVE MY ARM. Eventually the insurance agreed the ER was justified.
According to this article, it sounds like this would be a new behavior for insurance companies. But it seems to me like they are just making this behavior official now.
