Yes. Until pretty recently Java didn't contain unlimited strength encryption algorithms by default because of this/not getting around to updating

I'm not gonna dig deeper, but it seems like the actual policy change was as late as 2011 based on the comment, but they didn't get around to changing it for another few years.

Did you call dibs?

How can you say "flawed due to its reliance on people" with a straight face? We are people. Anything we create will "rely on people" in some way. Even if we make some machine to rule us, if it messes up, well, "it's flawed because it was made by people."

Unless you mean something different, which could very well be the case. Maybe you mean that democracy relies as people as a group while autocracy relies on an individual person or something?

This is an extremely nuanced topic with thousands of mitigating factors affecting it in the real world and subjective definitions about what "power" means. "Doomed to fail?" What sort of a loaded question is this? Isn't every civilization "doomed" to fail given the ultimately finite nature of life? If a democracy does fall to an autocratic uprising or another autocratic civilization, was it "doomed" to be so?

This question is just way way way way way too broad and to expect any sort of narrow or succinct answer. I don't believe we can really say any form of government is more "powerful" than others or that any are "doomed" to fail (or we can be reductive and say they all are).

Lol, I never noticed that before. Yes, it is exactly 16:10. I wouldn't mind using it again for a work setting, but I think I'd like exactly 16:9 for anything gaming related.

At work I used to have a WUXGA, 1920×1200. I liked it because it just gave extra space. Typically on a desk you're cramped on vertical space, not horizontal.

Prior to that I had a 1080p with two 1600×900 monitors flanking it lol.

A buddy of mine loves sweet tea and was upset he couldn't get it up in Ohio anywhere. However he did like that they served warm unsweet tea so he could get the sugar to dissolve lmao.
