You don't know shit about Arizona, you've never been to that state, and on top of it all, you're a raging fucking moron. So fuck off.

So she seems to have pretended to be a progressive long enough
If she did that, she wouldn't have gotten elected there at all. In Arizona, pragmatism will generally beat partisanism.
Hmm... Not really. The one city I've spent by far the most of my life living in (I think about half) is Chandler Arizona, so let's just say I'm quite familiar with it. There already is no shortage of tech jobs there if you want them, in fact the city began growing exponentially specifically because people out of state began moving there in droves. Many semiconductor plants, datacenters...you name it. By landmass, it is pretty big, and more than half of it was farm land, now almost all of it is developed. At the same time, it's also not like silicon valley cities where you're either tech or you can't afford to live there but somehow you manage to scrape by. Probably for the best that it stays that way. Look what happened to silicon valley during the pandemic. And it could happen again any time tech takes a dump after a major bubble. Like say, an AI bubble.
Diverse economies make for robust economies. For another example, see Detroit. If I was still there, I'd probably say no thanks. There are many places that could likely benefit from such a datacenter, but I don't believe Chandler is one of them.

Remember, when iPhone came out there was no App Store.
That was a separate business that came later, competition was prohibited, and by prohibiting competition rents were extracted.
This is called "illegal tying" in the law.

If you want to challenge the surveillance state that Australia is making, Reddit is one of the worst possible choices for champion. Reddit is a toxic soup of echo chambers, hyper-partisan political thinking, and pornography. The court is going to eat them alive.
It's good to a point, but what you don't want is Balkanization. Switzerland already has four official languages, so I see why they in particular might be acutely aware of it. There's a similar situation brewing in Mexico City as a lot of foreigners are moving in, with few of them even speaking Spanish, which is pissing off a lot of the locals.
Mexico city also has a related (but not the same) concept progressives are likely familiar with is gentrification, which is somehow bad despite balkanization being awesome because diversity.
"The chances of someone being born with excellent skills is equal everywhere"
This is a nice rhetorical assertion, and one I'd like to agree with, but it's (unfortunately, for both the skilled and those in less advanced areas) provably false.
Skill directly correlates to IQ at a population level. The IQ of European-native peoples, Chinese, Japanese, and Jewish peoples is in the 100-105 range average. Africa, India, and the Middle East (to a lesser degree)? Not true at all. A full SD or more different. You've got a huge problem with inbreeding throughout India and the Middle East, for instance. This means that your average person is not going to have the same chance of being "born with excellent skills".
Of course, this is also not without discounting things like upbringing and environment, and it undoubtedly has some play in the matter.
As for this policy, it has absolutely nothing to do with letting the best and brightest immigrate. It's clearly reactionary due to unfettered refugees and other unskilled immigrants who can't speak the language, don't want to speak the language, and bring obscene levels of crime to what would otherwise be an idyllic socialist utopia.
In what ways do you find it superior?
For me, Grok has been pretty consistent at making some pretty wild code recommendations and not following specifications.
It's not like Gemini, which will get stuck implementing things and then get into a histrionic panic loop, but it's not nearly as good as gpt5.1 in implementing correct, complete code per specification.
It's over.
>":Roll Eyes: Would they kick their own babies out once they hit ten million?"
Their population is in DECLINE, like almost all Western nations. There is ZERO chance of that happening. They will very likely allow immigration, but with hard caps and based on their own criteria, not just anyone that wants in or crosses their borders without permission. Those criteria will likely be based on things like knowing the language, having valuable/compatible skills/education, already having family there, understanding and likelihood to assimilating to general Swiss values, etc.
>"What this really comes down to, like all immigration debates, is racism. They don't like the color of the skin or the religion of the immigrants."
And you couldn't be more WRONG.
Most people don't give a damn about the "color of the skin." What they care about is *CULTURE* which is a set of beliefs and the way people act. That is NOT "RACISM".
And not liking someone else's religion that wants to push alien values that are incompatible with most of the native citizens is, guess what, ALSO NOT "RACISM".
So do us all a favor and stop using the word "racism", it is so unbelievably overused and abused now, it means almost nothing.
... is that it consumes standardized, structured text, has a consistent UI, etc.

Well, actually, yeah, if he's not a citizen.

>"Until recently the only way to access the cameras from mobile was through the cloud service, you could access the device over https directly but then it wouldnt let you view video if you were doing so on a mobile device."
No, you could also use a VPN and access it directly as well. Granted, MOST people that want to use the app (and it is certainly not required) will not have a problem with using a cloud login in the app just for notifications and to stream the video. That is very "normal" for most any platform. But the video and settings are still coming directly from your own physical box. Unifi's cloud is just directing and connecting you to your box own box. And that communication is all encrypted.
>"Their IPv6 support is also very poor, and there are a lot of networks using CGNAT for legacy service so inbound legacy traffic is not possible."
They have made lots of improvements in IPV6 in 2025. If you haven't seen their stuff in a year, you would be pretty amazed at how quickly things have advanced.
>"There is no option to configure IPv6 through the web interface"
Yes there is. But I can't speak on the details, since I don't use it. But I see the settings.
>"There's also no built in dynamic dns support which is needed if the ISP keeps changing your prefix."
Yes there is. I am using it now. That has been available in the web user interface for years, I think. When last did you last use/look at Unifi's gateway???
