Not exactly equal but if inequalities are too large everyone (poor and rich) live worse and shorter lives (ask Romanov dynasty).

Yes, copyright is there to protect peoples work. I am not sure what your point is.
Not exactly. Copyright is written to promote creating new ideas and introducing them into public domain. It achieves it by issuing temporary monopoly for authors creations.

This is the same bunch that can't be arsed to set up a unified coast guard. But they are all OVER climate pledges.
These are the same foresightful leaders *astonished* that one developed country might invade another in the 21st century. Shocking!
Please, let me know how trucks, tanks, ships, and planes are going to work without petrofuels, without invoking a magical tech advance that hasn't happened yet.
I'll wait.
The answer is simple: money. We can get rid of petrofuels immediately. The only problems are: it will cost A LOT and/or will be inconvenient A LOT.
It's almost like you could include a hidden cost of polluting into the cost of petrofuels.
Why is this problem limited only to the USA? In the Europe you can buy ice-cream in McDonald's without any problems.
Poland's trains carry a lot of ammunition/tanks/military stuff for Ukraine. So the list begins with: Putin.
Yeah, go ahead and hate on me and Apple all you want, but the fact remains that Apple leads and everyone else follows.
Remind me how many foldable phones Apple has in offer?
Neither are Georgia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, China, Mongolia, or North Korea. And these aren't NATO members.
Since NATO is for European countries those countries won't ever be NATO members. : ^)
Umm... you know USA is in the NATO right? And as far as I remember USA is not in Europe.
Can you explain what you mean by TABF, please? I have never heard of it. I am from Europe.
To do what? Keep the Russians from grabbing Ukrainian wheat fields.
I'll give you few reasons from US perspective (and ignoring moral view):
1. To promote US military equipment. Poland alone will buy US stuff for couple billions. And waiting list for F35 keeps growing.
2. To scare China away from taking Taiwan. Taking Taiwan is bad for US because that's the place where CPUs are born.
3. To stop proliferation of nuclear weapons. Ukraine gave away nuclear ballistic rockets in exchange of security guarantees from UK, USA and Russia (sic!). I don't think Russia would invade Ukraine should this was not the case. Should Ukraine fall every single small and big country will scramble to build nuclear arsenal. That includes friendly (Japan, South Korea), not so friendly (Saudi Arabia) and not friendly at all (Iran) countries.
4. High income countries consume more US products (phones, cars, Netflix, music, games, McDonald's) than low income. Occupied countries have usually low income.
Password: Capital city of France plus the square root of 144.
ChatGPT solves this quite easily:
The capital city of France is Paris. The square root of 144 is 12. Therefore, the answer to your question is Paris plus 12, which can be written as "Paris + 12" or "Paris + 144."
I doubt MS, who owns the code ChatGPT uses, will have much difficulty figuring out any password scheme included in the email with the file.
I (as a human) would solve it as "Paris12" not "Paris + 12".
Parachute is not dangerous to kids. Wrong analogy. I suspect there are more cases where people die in guns accidents than cases when people need to use gun in self defense at home.
This technology attempts to solve a problem that has been long solved.
You buy a gun safe. You place the firearms in it. You lock it. Only you have the key.
You do not let people under the age of majority access the firearms except when you are present.
The only time I violated my "firearm handling procedure" was during the early lockdown days when some of the kooks were rumbling about taking over. So while working in the garage, I kept 1 rifle handy.
It has not been solved. Look at LockPickingLawyer videos about gun safes. They are NOT safe from teenagers. It also takes time to open them. As much as I think USA gun laws are crazy I also see this invention as something useful. Not perfect but close to perfect.
It also has fingerprint scanner. Only ONE of each sensors need to be active to shoot.
