<p>With Netflix you pay for licenses and ongoing costs like bandwidth and maintenance.<p>A better analogy here is having to pay Microsoft for unlocking Windows NT/Server's ability to use more CPUs. Paid-for OS is already capable of it but this ability is "paywalled" due to greed.</p>

<p>> Taiwan, Japan, Poland, Canada, Spain, Australia, many others (...) have a great political and economic relationship with the US, and are currently at 0% risk of attack or invasion<p>I'm sorry, are you from the past? You literally listed Canada which Trump threatened with invasion.<p>The U.S. has no stable economic relationship with any country under the current administration and won't regain the trust for years or decades to come.<p>There's just these two quite different non-economic relations - not relationships - Israel and Russian Federation. The latter may even be Trump's hallucination but I'm giving him a benefit of the doubt. He finds common language with warmongering dictators.</p>

<p>Yeah. This service was presenting charts likely probed from inside GCP. I was on a call with a Google rep, someone pointed out that "AWS is also down" and I foolishly said something about "possible BGP attack" out of spite, before checking AWS availability myself. Shame on me.</p>

<p>> NoScript is indeed very effective at blocking tracking, but it also breaks a lot of websites.<p>Sure, images may no be present without JS lazy-loading them. Accidentaly, NoScript also fixes a lot of websites. Publishers are often paywalling posts via JS and initial HTML is served with full articles.</p>

<p>> The lack of cartels are perhaps a reflection of the lack of the international supply chains etc.<p>No. Most of Europe (apart from Scandinavian states, Belarus and Russian Federation, I believe) has access to legal LSD prodrugs. Not analogs but a LSD-25 molecule with attached [it changes] something group which is detached after ingestion, making the ingested substance "the real thing". These do not pass the LSD/DMT Ehrlich test[0]. AFAIK citizens of at least a few US states can as well fully legally obtain such compounds from up north.<p>So no - lack of LSD cartels is not a result of the lack of international supply chains. As GP stated - it's because these substances have a very low addiction potential.<p>[0] <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ehrlich%27s_reagent" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ehrlich%27s_reagent</a></p>

<p>Also, the quality of service is top notch. Not just the procedure execution but in private dental clinics (in Gdańsk) you lay down on a bed and there's a sizeable OLED screen at the ceiling with slow-mo clips sporting waterfalls, beaches, mountains and other "nice views" you'd expect from a deep house music clip. The background music is elevator-like though.</p>
