It's considered bad faith to sell a domain that you purchased? He didn't even offer it to Lamborghini, just for general sale.

Simply things that correlate to social involvement I suppose. Quacks like a duck and all.
What are you on about? It's financial providers deciding whether you are or aren't risky for them to work with, based on your financial decisions.
Not repaying loans and using credit cards to get cash -> you're probably bad with money -> lenders are unlikely to get their money back from you.

As well as the Estonia eID system works (aside from that time it got hacked[0] and that other time they leaked all the photos[1]) and how well a digital (non-government) system works in Scandinavia… I have to say…
As a Dual British/Swedish Citizen, I really do not trust the UK government. They have proven over and over and over, that at every opportunity presented they will increase their own authority. I don’t believe I have personally witnessed any other advanced economy that so ardently marches towards authoritarianism.
So, no matter if it’s a good idea or not. I can’t in good faith advise the UK having more powers. Unfortunately the UK government themselves can sort of just grant themselves more power. So…

Swedish ID system seems pretty great. Never had any of my family there complain about it, and it just seems to make a lot of life easier.
The issue I see with the UK's plan is it that so far everything the government is talking about is how it will stop illegal working, and that just seems like a reaction to reform's recent rise in polls. That by itself seems like a waste, because people working cash in hand surely won't be bothered by this new requirement.
I think it should go further so it actually becomes useful. Things like having people's benefit status accessible at pharmacies to prevent people simply saying "I don't pay for my prescription" (still blows my mind this is a thing).
What has the UK done to make you think it is becoming one of the most authoritarian advanced economies?

One fun way to get around this is to have enough money to sidestep the bank altogether. The title company does not give a shit about where the money came from. All they will want to see is a screenshot of your current balance so they know you aren't wasting everyone's time.

I can't take credit for coming up with this, but LLMs have basically inverted the common Sci-Fi trope of the super intelligent robot that struggles to communicate with humans. It turns out we've created something that sounds credible and smart and mostly human well before we made something with actual artificial intelligence.
I don't know exactly what to make of that inversion, but it's definitely interesting. Maybe it's just evidence that fooling people into thinking you're smart is much easier than actually being smart, which certainly would fit with a lot of events involving actual humans.
Celebrities, politicians and influencers are a constant reminder that people think others are far more intelligent than they actually are.

Not really related, but leaving Coventry has probably been one of the best decisions I've made in my life. This makes sense though, one of the best things about the city is the good transport links for getting out of it.

Sure is funny that their "very important job" is to fly first class, stay in 3 star hotels, wine and dine and schmooz, have immense influence, and make a million dollars a year doing it.
Sure is convenient while they chafe at the actual laborers for taking too many bathroom breaks.
3 star hotels seems out of place with the rest of the list.
