Why would they want to harm Iraq? Iraq is mostly Shia who identity with Iran. Their only real military force is Iranian backed Shia militias which led to some interesting things like US bombing Iraqi military installations. More interesting is the media never covered all the American A10s strafing Iraq government installations in Iraq.

International law only applies when you ratify a treaty so it becomes domestic law. Thats how treaties work, they actually laws of the country hence the term ratification into domestic law. Why US doesn't violate international law on land mines and cluster bombs. US never signed that treaty.

US at war? We are past the 60 days for a military operation. From US law perspective, it’s illegal. From the constitutional perspective only congress can declare war which they haven’t.

Countries that haven't signed do violate it. Israel prevents ships free transit to the Gaza strip. US does naval blockades and blows up boats.

HIPAA only covers entities that are legally required to follow it. Covered entities and business associates. It doesn’t apply to anyone else.

Using bitcoin to pay extortions or ransoms is very common. What ransomware doesn't use bitcoin?

Which isn't unique. Bunch of countries haven't ratified it and aren't legally bound by it but do follow it in spirit. US, Turkey, UAE, Israel etc.

Because they got to participate in the early investment in the for profit entity.

Thats more expensive that my top tier tmobile plan which is $120 for 3 lines.

There are three main sources of green house gases. Top one which is power is declining. Transportation is still growing and the last one is agriculture which is stable. There is progress if you look at the details.

No. Its because has chancery court which is a court based on equity not a court based on common law.

Is it manufacturing? Tesla and Mercedes have factories in china including partnerships with chinese manufactures. Or is it the design of the car? Chinese companies shelled huge sums of money to hire the best car designers from Europe.

Don't let your competition hire away your top talent.

And these self driving companies aren't wealthy and powerful? Why treat them differently?

Is it? Laura Bush ran a stop sign and killed her friend. No charges. Caitlyn Jenner hit a car and pushed it into on coming traffic killed someone. No charges. I can keep going and going.

Are these companies going toss a $500b+ infrastructure investment away in next 6 years? Whats the average lifespan of a AI compute node?

Depends on the prompt. Do a video prompt and one 30 second video will use as much electricity as running your microwave on high for 15 minutes.

What about golf courses which use up 476 Billion of water every year? Way more than data centers. People complain about Nestle using water in californa for bottled water but it doesn't compare to what single golf course uses in a year.

Increasing prices doesn't effect demand right? $10+ per pack cigarettes in California hasn't had any affect on smoking rates.

For the money spent(over $80b), they could have launched a phone or a car. Now their pivot is to smart glasses which require a phone so once again they are beholden to phone manufacturers.

Or home address, phone number, etc

There's also Prodigy which schools push on kids to practice math has the same thing including pay to win mechanics.

All modern appliances and HVACs are using inverter drive motors for efficiency. Brushless DC motors are more efficient though.

Our houses should be DC. So wasteful to have all these bricks to change to AC to DC.

Its weird that there strict laws that limit pilot hours to under 40 hours a week but no laws that restrict number of hours ATC works.

Need expensive printers and you need CAD software that can correctly move the teeth. Also not all it can be done by software, sometimes you need to blank out certain teeth that dentist will make the call.

Depends how you define dangerous. If we look injury rates and not deaths, meat processing/packing is the most dangerous.

Not even the most dangerous job in the US. Forest workers, commercial fishermen, pilots etc are more dangerous. If we're talking about gun violence, your corner market cashier is more likely to get shot, Has anyone thanked a 7 eleven worker for their sacrifice thas you can get a slurpee at 2am?

If I have a free app that hits location services on the device and I sell this data, how does Apple and Google make money from me?
