I don't think the scythe really represents farming in the modern era though.
Ah, I misunderstood. I conflated "Americans" (lawmakers) and "Americans" (everyone else).
The laws specified by the EU allow for future technological developments and the advancement of the standard without having to re-write the laws. The law itself includes a mandatory technical review, and allows for new standards to be integrated, and outdated standards to be dropped.
The EU commision did not decide on USB-C in a vacuum. It looked on already existing stanards and talked to many large electronics manufacturers in order to come to a proposal for USB-C as a universal standard. You are right to point out the role that both Intel and Apple played (Along HP, Microsoft and the USB-IF) in the development of the standard, but you're missing the forest for the trees, since it was the EU making it a *universal * standard within it's boarders that means we all use the same standard.
The reason we should thank the EU is because of this rule. While I cannot guarantee this rule is responsible, the fact that it's mandated means it's significantly more economically viable to use the same connector across all regions (including America), and so this rule is the primary factor in the standardization of charging cables.
I genuinely thought that this was a meme about stereotypes around how different countries name products for a second.
I wish we could take cars of the road that way...
I think this is not helpful, since both are "mixing colour". I think a more apt analogy would be "shining multiple lights" vs "stacking colour filters".
To be clear, the accusation is that the mod team is Zionist, and that they consistently moderate all anti-Zionist content.
It's a Zionist bar not just because there's a few Zionists, but because the bar owner keeps kicking out the people who cause a ruckus with the Zionists.
- They had a vote, and the people said strongly that they did not want to see this.
- Platforming Facism is the best way to spread Facism, and deplatforming Facism is the best way to fight it. Supporting their freedom to speak is in effect the same as supporting the ideology.
The government already knows all our ages, right? They issue our IDs after all. Have the government provide a "yes, this person is over 18" service. There are ways of providing signed files/tokens which don't contain personal information.
If the government wants to write a law, then I think it's reasonable they're also responsible to help with a solution.
I think modern labour might be too diverse to cover properly with only a few symbols. We're no longer uniting two labour forces, material conditions have changed. I think that instead of focusing on types of labour, we might instead focus on what the movement can bring.
We could put basic human rights on a theoretical new flag. A drop represents access to water, bread represents access to food, and a roof over both.
If you want a new flag, picking something that unites is all (our needs) might be a good way to go.
