It's not a perfect system by far and I'm not arguing that.
But we've already seen how removing all privatization from an economy leads to worse outcomes because we have less options, less innovation, and more monopolies.
In my opinion we need to find a balance between the two systems that works best for everyone. Arguing for either extreme doesn't make sense (in my opinion). I would rather see if we can come up with some other solutions that are better than the current system.

Then if they go this route, they better make sure that they clearly define what they mean by a "Recommendation Algorithm" or an "interests-based algorithm" because the opinions of individuals won't hold up in court.
If it's not defined an attorney could easily argue that Lemmy's "Scaled" algorithm is a "recommendation algorithm" and you would hope that the judge understood enough about programming to know where to draw the line.

Definitely not a movie night, you don't get much of a chance to really know the other person from that, and if either one of you decides that the other is crazy it makes it a little harder to dip out.
Ideally something simple that's good for getting to know the other person while being able to leave at any time. Coffee, shaved ice, frozen yogurt, etc. Then a walk through a park or along a beach, or just sit down/people watch, and discuss your interests to see if either of you are interested in a second date.
What economic concept are you proposing that's better than the current systems in place?
At least government regulations can help keep capitalism in check, but taking that too far leads to monopolies and dictatorships.
The sad thing is, his case is not unique. Way too many people are convicted for crimes in the same way where some "cell mate" has heard the other person confess to crimes, and then the "informant" gets rewarded.
We seriously need to change how things are done especially in cases where the only evidence is from incentivized informant testimony.
If the Missouri governor won't pardon him, shouldn't Biden be able to pardon him? Hopefully enough noise is made that he takes notice.
Unfortunately we've all seen this play out before where someone who can prove they are innocent is still executed.
Here's a good documentary on what's going on:

From the looks of it, the best chance you have to escape is before they get you to the river. So if you ever find yourself in a situation where you're travelling for a job in one of these countries, be aware of the signs, and escape before it's too late.
So, if you get picked up from the airport and you're supposed to go to a hotel only 10 min away, but that turns into a drive for a few hours, do whatever you can to get out. Anywhere is better than the destination at the end of that drive.

Yep, I definitely misunderstood that. Thanks for pointing that out.
