<p>I do like the concept that developers need to submit to yearly flogging to keep the app in the app store. Otherwise there'll be millions of orphaned apps and thousands with duplicate functionality.<p>By mandating a yearly punishment the number of apps will fall through attrition and your app stands a bigger chance to get noticed.</p>

<p>Well, you started this chain by making a comment stating that there is no ethics without god. That comment was both factually wrong (I’m sure you can find plenty of faithless people doing amazing things), and insular in that it claims virtue is unreachable to those without faith.<p>Maybe you should take this criticism as an opportunity to research examples of people that don’t share your faith, but whose positions you respect. I’m sure you can find some.</p>

<p>Just after your quote:<p>> EdF responded that it "assumes full responsibility for the technical and financial aspects of dismantling its nuclear plants," and noted that it was currently decommissioning nine reactors, so had a good basis of experience. It also pointed out that its funds set aside for decommissioning were audited by the Ministry of the Environment, Energy and the Sea the previous month.<p>And, a little bit earlier, the article author's assesment:<p>> There are well-developed plans for dismantling these (which have been shut down since 1990 or before) and work is progressing.<p>Please don't cherry-pick articles.</p>

<p>That is the kind of discussion where people end up saying "Oh okay, but we can FIRE ZE MISSILES".<p>AWS will never willingly stop serving the EU, and oil corps will (unfortunately) never willingly stop selling oil. The US govt could force it, but that would be the end of US-EU relations, and probably cause a breakdown of internal us politics.<p>The US is pushing its hand as much as it can right now.</p>

<p>> but there is a lot of bureaucracy and the bureaucracy is iron law.<p>Yeah, an organized and powerful administration is the basis of rule-of-law system. The opposite isn't entrepreneurship, it's a state of widespread corruption where laws are toothless.<p>It doesn't benefit upstarts who want a fair environment to start a business, it benefits megacorps with their own militia of lawyers to bend the rules, and pockets deep enough to lobby for the removal of rules that can't be bent.</p>

<p>> One thing that is common about middle democracies is that prioritize a bureaucratic elite structure over an entrepreneurship culture<p>No, that's just the 2010s propaganda fed to you by people who assert that not letting them do whatever they want is "bureaucratic". These very same people are completely fine lobbying legislature for more moat when they benefit from it.<p>The difference between "middle democracies" or whatever that means and the US is just that politics aren't corrupted enough yet that they can buy whatever they want.</p>

<p>> Same problems that regular rings have, yet people still wear them.<p>In some jobs/hobbies, it is highly recommended to wear soft metal rings, and add a structural weakness to the ring in order to limit finger injuries, in case you forget to remove it.<p>Doesn't mean everyone must do it, but as with this post, it's a good point of view to get before making a choice: not everyone rides horses, but the same injuries can happen in everyday life.</p>
