That railway picture proves nothing. I told you that the Christmas Islands are typically not hot during the migration. I pasted actual scientific journal articles that showed crustaceans have a nervous system and do avoid pain. You know, actual experiments. I am not a vegan. I eat crab. However I am not going to compromise scientific logic to claim crabs donâ(TM)t feel pain. They avoid pain, and remember how/where it occurred. Numerous experiments have proven that. I donâ(TM)t think any animal should be made to suffer, even though I am not a vegetarian. I recognize they most likely do suffer, and thus we should treat them humanely.

I agree that nations are a necessary inconvenience at this time since some people's cultures are whack (some examples: people from India need improvements in food hygiene -- a healthy fear of bacteria is needed, muslims need anger management and education to respect women's choices, blacks need to control their emotions and be more considerate of others, whites need to stop being racist, asians need to stop being hive-minded and come up with their own inventions etc.) , but eventually we need to be fully globalist. Nations should not be necessary. I'll go further, and say logically there is only one correct culture and we should all be that. We, humanity, needs to be moving towards single secular world government. Tribalism is forever unstable. We need a world government by the year 2150 or the planet, and by that time its space colonies too, are doomed.

I'm sure that will give their US based employees a lot of comfort, sitting in their jail cells.

What the heck kind of unscientific baloney is that? Crabs, like all crustaceans, have a nervous system. They have pain receptors, they have opiod receptors, and exhibit avoidance learning.

How many actual science articles you need on this? Where are your references/actual studies? The rail behavior you described, if true could be explained many ways. And btw I checked the typical temperature during migration, it's typically between 76 to 82F .. so not that hot.

If history is any indication, the AI will eventually evolve into crabs anyway.

Because they have a significant legal presence in the US, which most certainly is subject to US law, including, if necessary, criminal prosecution of employees who refuse to honor the subpoena?

Tucows has a significant legal presence in the US.

From their own web site:

"Can non-Canadian-based court documents be submitted?

"Yes. Tucows will accept court documents from Canada, Denmark, Germany, and the U.S.A. "

So the only one to be pounding sand is . . . you.

What would happen if the crabs merged with the AI?

Geary would probably just get sued again if he automatically acquiesced. :-)

Can Kim Kardashian pass a bar? :-)

Baloney. AI and robotics will create more jobs, by far.

A $5 trillion dollar company wants subsidies? Raise capital and build some power plants. If you want subsidies that has to come at the price of either you paying more tax, or the government getting some shares.

Ironically, the ads will probably be for TV shows like "911" ... :-)

On a related note... Way, *way* back when I was still in college I opened the door to a knock and found a guy holding a U.S. Marshal badge asking for me. My mind raced thinking, "What the hell have I done?" He was there to do a background check for a friend's security clearance. Whew!

Waymo has the honk part down: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

(well sort of).
