<p>I'm sorry but you are not interacting with the rational suppositions of posters in various threads here. No one is arguing for a war except you. People are explaining to you the strategic reality and you are espousing rhetoric that I honestly can't decipher.<p>1. Denmark cannot win militarily<p>2. You are suggesting Denmark would not capitulate and indeed enter into a state of war<p>What do you think happens in this situation?</p>

<p>This is absurd in the extreme. In actual war there is absolutely no possibility of success for Denmark, even with the help of allies. Failure to capitulate results in nothing but death and destruction with no hope of strategic gain to begin with. What you are likely experiencing is a modern belief that screaming and shouting will bring popular diplomatic pressure to bear on the opponent, thus arresting their actions.<p>There was similar tough talk in 1940 and Denmark lasted 6 hours. Without capitulation the country would have been razed. But surrender saw it able to keep some level of control and thus extricate the Jewish population in relative safety which would not otherwise have been possible.</p>

<p>They sent a clarifying email today<p>> Our email yesterday was imprecise relative to our actual new Terms. To be specific:<p>> You must be at least 18 years old to use the Service (Zed’s AI-enabled software-as-a-service offering, including features like account creation/sign in, Zed Free and Zed Pro, and collaboration). See <a href="https://zed.dev/terms#21-eligibility" rel="nofollow">https://zed.dev/terms#21-eligibility</a>. We set the threshold at 18 due to children's data privacy obligations under COPPA, equivalent international frameworks, and an increasing number of state and regional laws that extend protections to anyone under 18. Those regulations require parental consent verification, age-gated data handling, and separate retention policies for minors. Building and maintaining that infrastructure is a real cost for a small team, and getting it wrong carries regulatory risk. Setting the line at 18 lets us maintain a single privacy framework for all account holders without carve-outs.<p>> Zed's Software (open source code editing software) is governed by our open source licenses. In cases where the open source license can govern, it will over the Terms. See <a href="https://zed.dev/terms#24-restrictions" rel="nofollow">https://zed.dev/terms#24-restrictions</a>.</p>

<p>A simple single page indicative UK tax calculator with some novel metrics and calculations. Accepts other forms of income to give a more complete overview. Rationale: I disliked most of the existing ones and they are full of adverts and such. Should handle the complexities around income bands and child benefit tax traps. Also handles Scottish tax bands and shows Cost To Employer incorporating employment taxes.<p>nextjs/react/tailwind/chadcn - hosted on vercel</p>

<p>I researched that before and I think it's considered generally safe. Toxicity required huge doses.<p>Though the instructions recommend ventilating the room a little after letting it settle, and I don't use it every night. Also I like to cover pillows before spraying.<p>It's very similar to the WHO recommended stuff used before and during flights - <a href="https://www.inchem.org/documents/ehc/ehc/ehc243.pdf" rel="nofollow">https://www.inchem.org/documents/ehc/ehc/ehc243.pdf</a></p>

<p>For rooms with closed windows this stuff has in my experience a 100% success rate. (they always manage to get in somehow). Spray the room an hour before bedtime and it eradicates them.

<p><i>However, I think the UK government is just trying to protect people (children in particular) from what it considers harmful content.</i><p>I can't come close to agreeing. The same minister pushing this, who is by his own admission semi literate and can't understand very basic concepts, has basically no understanding of technology (or indeed expertise in any area), has made no secret of the fact this is about censoring online speech he personally does not like[1]. He is a paid up yes man deep in the pockets of companies selling low effort AI solutions to governments for the purposes of enforcing speech[2] who wants, all said and done, to shut down twitter/X because people express opinions there he doesn't like. This has almost literally nothing to do with the old fashioned pearl clutching "think of the children". So much so he's going around holding anyone with reasonable opposition to this bill for child sexual assault, future, past and present[3]. This is obvious overcompensatory zeal. And it is week one.<p>What he has not done is engage earnestly with legitimate concerns about privacy and the bill. And he never will.<p>[1] <a href="https://www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/article/labour-peter-kyle-reading-age-c9hwtdknz" rel="nofollow">https://www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/article/labour-peter-ky...</a> | <a href="https://archive.is/Snw7y" rel="nofollow">https://archive.is/Snw7y</a><p>[2] <a href="https://news.starknakedbrief.co.uk/p/we-need-to-talk-about-starmers-science" rel="nofollow">https://news.starknakedbrief.co.uk/p/we-need-to-talk-about-s...</a><p>[3] <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cgery3eeqzxo" rel="nofollow">https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cgery3eeqzxo</a></p>
