Using source to mess with a service is a lot easier than using it to actually build something.

Or trade for premium currency, apparently.

Ok I'll bite. I had almost half a grand sunk into Warframe and then had my account locked. When I finally got a response from them about it, it was in the form of an incredibly rude email accusing me of stealing their premium currency. They will unlock my account for $275.

I have never stolen a premium currency. Or even a sub-prime currency. I generally earn currencies, in fact.

So yeah, Warframe stole my money and then accused me of theft.

I remember an old DOS game (Leisure Suit Larry?) had an age verification system that was just boomer trivia.

I didn't expect Art Bell to have Redd Foxx on or anything, but I think it's telling that that crowd never really went off on the jews.

This could have been a massively useful tool for rescue services.

Privacy isn't a concern for me when I'd willingly and openly share information, and I'd certainly be doing that if I could fucking trust the police.
Policing is getting way too complicated and nuanced to just keep going with the armed goon approach.

"Does anyone at our modern and fast moving company want to work on old software for an old platform for the old company we used to be?"

"No?"

Why else would you be doing that?

If Amazon were entering contracts with sellers requiring them to raise the price on Walmart (instead of lowering them on Amazon), then you'd have a situation like Apple was doing with ebook sellers and worthy of FTC investigation. But as long as sellers are free to raise prices on the rival site OR lower the price on Amazon to match, there's no problem.

Were you arguing against Amazon falling afoul of antitrust laws? This seems like it would run afoul of antitrust laws.

I hope you see how, by wrapping a science/health issue in the "states rights" flag, they've walked you around to supporting foolishness.

There really isn't even an operable definition of "porn" for situations like this.

because a successful assault on settled science is a career-making achievement.

This is the part conspiracy theorists never grasp. There isn't any benefit to scientists for promoting a massive global conspiracy, but the benefits from puncturing such a conspiracy would be enormous.
Every adjunct professor in the world is waiting for an opportunity like this.

The underlying problem is that we're asked to reinvent tiny wheels all day long, solving trivial problems that have been solved before by people more interested in the specific problem.

We shouldn't be asking why people are copying bad code, we should be asking why they need to.

You know that, thanks to the magic of history, we can cast our gaze back and see if people were actually wise or foolish, right?
