That doesn't affect the parent (.group) based on the child though.


No, but `group` doesn't affect the parent in Tailwind. You put `group` in the parent to mark it, and then use the `group/...` syntax to apply different properties to the child, depending on the different states of the parent. This doesn't require `:has`.

I don't think Tailwind has a built-in `:has` tool, but I suspect it would be easy to add one as a custom class.


Oh, I misunderstood the GP then, thanks for clarifying!


Tailwind has few :has tools but it’s imho terrible. They keep inflating the system to nonsense.


This.


Atleast in Tailwind that’s what it should do. You hover over card (.group) and some elements inside change.


> Leaving a power vacuum, like dismantling the UN, will just open the door for places like China to step in.

The UN has no power, so dismantling it cannot leave a power vacuum. The US abandoning its overseas policies, that'd leave a power vacuum, because the US has power and projects it. But the UN has no power - it's some UN member states that have power.

Case in point: the general assembly demanded Russia withdraw all military forces from Ukraine. But what are they going to do about Russia ignoring that demand? Nothing, they're powerless.


The UN didn't prevent another world war. If you'd want to include an organization, it'd be the UN security council, but not anything else of the UN. And realistically, it's nukes that prevented WW3. It's not a coincidence that the permanent members of the security council, the veto powers, all have nuclear weapons.


I doubt that the average employee could tell Linux and Windows apart if you applied a Window-style skin to Linux.

But at least in Germany, I've seen Windows being written into agreements between state governments and trade unions representing clerks and employees. Good luck changing those without a negotiation running 3 years.


Lots of people would be disrupted by having to move off MS Office. Not insurmountably so, and MS ironically helps make the case that people can learn new things by often changing their own product interfaces.


If you really want to smooth out the transition, there's also companies which would be happy to help you setup and maintain your office environnement on Linux.


A cool idea could be to build a replica of Windows, but running Linux and market it to municipalities, NGOs and State entities.


> I doubt that the average employee could tell Linux and Windows apart if you applied a Window-style skin to Linux.

It doesnt really matter if the UI is the same or almost the same. We are talking about rolling out an entire new suite of tools to every government worker in a given country.

It would take years to plan the migration, then start deploying it in stages to the less critical services of said government while you work out all the kinks.

While that is happening, you most likely will need to support both systems for a while so that you have a fallback if things go wrong with the new system.

Then you will need to train all these employees properly so that they can potentially troubleshoot some of the issues they encounter and give them enough time to become as productive as they were before the new system rolled out.

And there is that too. I am sure its the case in many countries.

Finally this migration if successful would not bear any fruits to the person who initiates it at best because by the time the roll out is complete this person will have moved on to another position, be elected somewhere else or retired.

But if it goes badly, you can be sure that this will be used by the opposition political parties to attack the governing party and accuse them of bringing the entire country's services to a stand still.


It's definitely no "let's just do it over the weekend" job, but otoh, you don't have to do it all at once, nobody uses every tool. You'd probably need to still roll out by unit or at least in waves (e.g. for the unit that handles building permits, which is much less complex).

I do agree that there's no good incentive. The other reason I've learned is their organizational issues: heavy focus on certifications, much lower salary vs private industry, heavy on the bureaucracy and office politics, and a lot of dead weight. That doesn't get you skilled people with plenty of motivation, and you get the outcome you'd expect.


That's unlikely for sudden and short-lived surges, isn't it? There probably won't be plenty of new rentals popping up in LA because of potentially high demand during the next wildfire.


People can drive from other locations without setting up a rental


How do they handle it when you get your inventory sent back? I.e. you send them 100 pieces of X and after three months you tell them to send them back to you. Do they just take 100 pieces of X out of their general inventory, or do they know which ones were yours? Because otherwise it seems like an obvious scam where you could send in trash and get real items back.


I don’t know but based on the number of people I know who’ve gotten clearly counterfeit or repackaged items from official storefronts on Amazon, I would assume they just take 100 units out of that bin.


Commingling only happens at the frontend. For each item the vendor is tracked. Physically they are in different bins and more likely in different warehouses. So if you buy a product and it turns out fake, Amazon can trace back the vendor for the particular item you received.

It helps with inventory availability with the cost of risk of bad customer experience in case of fraud.


RFID is a possible solution. Tags are now about five cents, and likely to drop further in price with volume. Newer tag designs can be sewn in the seams of garments and shoes.


Commingling is optional to Amazon vendors, all they have to do is track each item with a plain individual sticker / QR tag. They opt not to do it and track using the generic product barcode since it's cheaper and simpler.

So if they can't be bothered to attach a zero cents sticker on the item, a 5cents rfid tag is out of the question.


The commingling thing is crazy overblown. One of those internet memes that just grows legs and the legend can never live up to its original source.

If it’s both fulfilled and sold by Amazon, I have yet to have anyone actually provide an actual first person story that their item came from commingled or forged stock.

Yes, I’m sure it has happened. It’s not a widespread thing. Amazon does not sell Tide detergent sourced from some random third party that sent in stock matching the SKU being sold because it happens to be in a closer warehouse.

Random listings on Amazon? Sure I’ve received fake stuff. That’s the risk of using a third party storefront.

I have also not heard or seen of a well sourced story recently where someone’s esoteric custom product SKU was being sent in by third parties as the same ASIN and comingled with the legit companies listing.

The shady listings seem to be where this all comes from to begin with. Amazon could cull those nearly overnight but chooses not to. This is where the main problem lies. The times you click the legit listing for the FBA/SBA Amazon item, and then there are 12 “options” like multi-packs that are random third parties trying to take advantage of the unaware type of dark pattern.


The same factories you wouldn't trust with the replacement also make the originals. So you wouldn't buy a phone at all?


Because a deep-pocketed company can be sued to recover the cost of my house - Samsung, Google, or Apple, and they take all possible precautions to make sure this isn't needed. Not going to successfully sue "big luck bright shine battery company of shenzhen"


Yeah, while I liked the pixel 4a, I just upgraded to a 7a because of this nonsense (thankfully I did not go with a 6a!) If they come for the 7a next year, I won't choose a pixel again either.

Sure, I could send it in for a battery replacement. and not have a phone for a week or two, and get my phone back or maybe not.


>Sure, I could send it in for a battery replacement. and not have a phone for a week or two, and get my phone back or maybe not.

There's walk-in replacements in select countries:

>Starting July 21, 2025 battery replacement will be available:

>At walk-in repair centers in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Germany, Singapore, Japan, and India.

>[...] Additional battery replacement capability is expected in Japan, France, some other parts of Europe, and Australia soon.


Yes, I'm aware. I checked when they killed the pixel4: there's no shop close to me.

I wouldn't spend half a day to get to an authorized partner and back and have it repaired, it's not worth that much.


Which is why it's better to not have any customers. And not make any money, because dealing with taxes sucks balls, too. Best, really, is not to be alive, because otherwise you'll need to deal with illness, hunger, sadness and stuff.


How many customers do you serve at your business? What are you doing besides trolling?


Can you show some of those problems and their solutions?
