It's not that they are meaningfully different. It's just acknowledging if you really want currying, you can say 'why not just use a single parameter of tuple type'.

Then there's an implication of 'sure, but that doesn't actually help much if it's not standar' and then it's not addressed further.

Someone else in the comments mentioned that scala does this with _ as the placeholder.

For schools and hospitals, why specify COTS? Do you want SOTS for schools and HOTS for hospitals just like we have MOTS?

Figure out where you can't buy pictures to narrow it down, if you want a more exact match, pay for pictures from that area from non US providers.

If the solution is parental control software, that also puts onus on operating systems to present the means for such software to work properly. This does not mean the OS should censor, it might mean the OS offers a censorship interface.

At least we seem to agree the solution lies with better tools for parents.

So the solution is effective parental controls. Government mandated age verification isn't parental control, and is unlikely to be very effective.

That means making it possible for parents to actively block bad websites, and making that hard to circumvent.

Internet filters exist. I think we should legislate them, making it mandatory for children, or a similar solution.

Nonono. Nothing mandatory. It's a parents choice. The thing to do is help parents enforce their choices. Not forcing choices onto parents.

I think intentionally and willingly doing something whilst informed of the consequence doesn't count as human error. At least not in this context.

Though it would make more sense, since these humans are likely largely erroneous.

I agree. It’s actually systemic error.

Tens of thousands of no-knock raids every year in the us is crazy stuff. In the early 80s the number was ~1500/year. More than an order of magnitude increase in no knock raids while violent crime has fallen.

There's likely natural experiments in cases where police was misinformed either way about the danger of the suspects being arrested.

Age limits might be an alternative. Say at 65 or 70.

That's at an age where wizened legislators can move into advisory roles, instead of needing to find a next career.
