"Illegals" != "Illegal alien"

There's not much recent history of particular consequence facing for this sort of thing in the United States, financially or politically. It's not like we locked up bankers after the housing bubble collapsed or punished people for lying us into Middle Eastern wars.

Isn't it just kind of how we speak about these sort of things? Like, say your partner asked you if you washed the dishes, would you tell them "No, the dishwasher did" or just "Yes"?

"No one forces you..." is an interesting line to go down in the comments of an article that focuses on using messaging apps to deliver exploits to a cellphone. It's pretty malware adjacent. Isn't that sort of thing how Jamal Khashoggi and his friends, family, and coworkers were hacked before his murder/execution?

The breadth of prosecutorial immunity is one of those things that reveals how broken the American system is.

That's not a pay wall, it's a sign-in wall.

And robotic cops to enforce the law!

Yes but it’s a torrent, the target isn’t Sonarr, it’s manual downloads.

Ooo, have you read any articles on that happening? I missed them! Given that this is specifically a comment chain in a discussion about them working with authorities, that they'd work with authorities hardly seems like science fiction.

Why would someone want to live 100 years? 80? 60? 40? 20? Were ultimately just saying we like living and would like to keep living until we decide we don’t want to anymore. The thought that people might like living longer than they get is pretty well supported by every dying person who doesn’t want to die rather than just some speculative fiction.

They could be happy to assist you with a task that they also then flag and forward to authorities, especially if their assistance doesn't break the law but has evidence of you doing so.

Isn't its population also larger than all three combined? It seems like some per capita measurement might be more telling here.

Are you under the impression that lawyers have never included things that later turned out to be false or unprovable in their initial filing of a lawsuit? If lawyers are so infallible, why would one have openly admitted to firing someone for a legal medical treatment they received?

I think that, per the parent who you initially replied to's point, that taking a tabloid's clickbait excerpts from one-side of a lawsuit is a terrible way of understanding the truth of a dispute.

I've no idea what happened. Treating allegations in a lawsuit as undeniable true or "flat out admissions" is a bad idea, though. Doing that would have you believing that Craig Wright is Satoshi Nakamoto, after all, he claimed in a lawsuit he is.

Only according to the lawsuit filed by the fired party.

Did you miss that that's according to the one sided exceprt from a lawsuit an ex-employee filed?

The Pandora's box was already open and essentially no one noticed nor was there immense pushback that resulted in the features being removed. Photo scanning was already happening for both Android and Apple for the purpose of image search.

One is far easier to prove. If the government could continuously monitor our actions "Is this CSA?" they might very well be pushing for that, too.

Blocking backups and consequently reducing data portability doesn't really sound like the best of both worlds.

What countries can do is pretty expansive and unrelated to whether or not they're comparable to other things or good things for countries to do.

Why would you care about democracy? Plenty of countries don't have it. Why should America and Europe hold themselves up to such naive, idealistic standards with Middle Eastern countries around who aren't doing the same?

That's essentially the point you made, while conflating pulling the rug out from under people's feet because they've committed the crime of being brown with never having made the offer in the first place.

The law can change. Which is why it's better if that data was not collected in the first place.

Plenty of companies collecting data are operated by people who want to control what you think, feel, and do both for profit and based on their owners personal beliefs.

Your quote is very different from the situation you describe. Revoking citizenship is different than no pathway to citizenship. A pathway to citizenship is not open doors.

Apple was already doing image recognition on device for photo searchability when they proposed that solution.

Patents function only to limit the actions of what living beings can and cannot do.

Plus, it's seems false to paint this orchard as just an environment humans created where they reproduced. It's a place where the farmer very specifically reproduced them, not just the conditions.

The food that is patented isn't essential to life, though. Essentially all of humanity has lived all of it's lifetimes without this modern varietal of nectarines just fine.

There are certainly tons of cases where modern developments might be actually essentially to life or extend life like with medication, medical devices, temperature control, moves to modern electric technologies versus combustion to reduce pollution, etc. How do we incentivize new medication development, something way more lifesaving than nectarine varietals, without some period of exclusivity? At least there, twenty years from now, the solutions will be more accessible versus never developed.

In general, invention of new things is something humanity's been tackling for quite awhile. Why would this apply specifically to food versus, well, everything?

>Mora later sought to terminate his relationship with Giumarra, and he sold his nectarines to another fruit packer in 2023

The farmer sought termination and violated the contract.

Red eye international flights where the execs sleep?

What Anthropic was pushing for under Biden has very little to do with the values Republicans have been espousing (and failing to live up to) for decades. That's kind of the point op was making. Republicans run on small government but do not deliver it. Democrats do not run on small government. Democrat Presidents campaign on and push for things like the ACA, they don't have fun quips like, “The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the Government, and I'm here to help.”

A clear regulatory framework to operate within allows businesses to operate within it rather than get surprised by the King's whims upending their business on every few Fridays. If you expect regulation will eventually happen, pushing for it to happen on terms you're able to comply with rather than as haphazard surprises is pretty sensible.
