The TCPA was supposed to stop all spam calls. But we just decided to never enforce it.

Performative politics at work.

How are people so chill about police killing anyone? These people are literally paid by the community, to protect the community. Anyone dying at their hands is an insane level of failure, we shouldn't need hundreds of examples when every single instance should be an outlier in the data.

More like another reason for cops to mow down protesters. True Citizens would never protest something so obviously beneficial to everyone /s

Valid and recently used email address, with lots of related accounts in the email body.

Wait what does THAT mean? They got a huge inflow of money, and since they couldn't spend it all, they... bought bonds? And the value of those bonds dropped to nearly nothing?

Because that's worse than losing money, that's incompetently giving it away.

Ideally, the same ones that supported the Right to Repair for farmers, against John Deere

AI killed the language wars. Now you can use whatever you want for whatever you want, wherever you want.

Which means you can have fun trying new languages with every new project :)

It wasn't enormous enough in fines, since they're still in business and capable of doing it again, and again surviving such fines.

The greater meaning of... holding a position over a period of time that seems unreasonable against a far superior force? Exactly like the GP described for Hussein? It certainly sounds like we're celebrating the same things, unless I misunderstood your point...

This assumes all other information remains exactly the same as it is currently. That is not how the real world works, however. As time goes on, and it becomes more obvious that the company is floundering, the "long shot" will no longer be such a long shot, and will not have as high of a return.

idk, if "prediction markets" remain a real thing, there should probably be some requirement for previous experience in options-adjacent markets to ensure people actually understand the economics of time-valued positions.

That's not unique to their culture. Remember The Alamo? That was 190 years ago and we still celebrate our defeat.

That's only realistic if nobody ever looks at what the code changes were.

I've always found that defending laws that don't benefit people to be a stange attitude on a place called "hacker news".

Creative people should be able to create. Trademark/copyright laws, protecting assets for the great-grandchildren of who actually created the art, has never been a positive. The only people who benefit, are themselves not creative (or else they would create, instead of defending "rights" and "image").

I honestly thought there wasn't even an offline installer anymore, and office.com was the only way to open documents in office these days.

> Maybe in the future, programs and custom made hardware might be the same :)

One step closer to the matrix. Send the white rabbit over, I've got your floppies ready to go. No ai, and developed without an active internet connection, so you can listen to music safe in the knowledge that your music isn't listening to you.

And when the judges get around to the case in 300 years after all the other ai court cases, we'll be beyond caring about the consequences.

It's a legal issue, and the legal part has always been bullshit regardless of which specific label happens to apply.

They can't sue everyone, comrade. AI tools will hopefully trigger a rewrite of what copyright means, it's always been silly that it prevents derivitive works.

Luckily(?) Office is browser based now.

The proposed rename breaks the HOMES (Huron, Ontario, Michigan, Eerie, Superior) acronym all of us in Michigan learned, and is thus doomed to failure. Because SHAME is a much worse acronym.

Just because you are not the target audience, does not mean the company has no income.

> No, it wasn’t a Nazi salute

Talk all you want, but video is available for you to make up your own mind. Imo, it was very obviously a Nazi salute coupled with an angry face reminiscent of Hitler, and then repeated to make sure it was seen.

But is any of that comment inaccurate or incomplete?

We (the usa) can choose to leave at any time. Crying about the effects of your own actions while choosing not to fix it is madness. Don't push your madness on the rest of us

I don't mind tobasco, but I'd rather see a Frank's Red Hot

Accounts can be rate limited? Woah

It's so bad, it seems fake. He gets a little fine or something, along with a large backchannel payment, all to keep attention off of something else...

But that's crazy talk

Or, at the very, very least, use incognito mode on a computer you don't otherwise touch, such as at a library.

And you'd better be fucking thankful you were allowed even that much, you filthy pleb.

I think the line is obvious... If you can't unplug it, you're not self-hosting.
