100% on the mark. My nephew is a teacher and he says that there is very little that they can do about the misuse of these AI(Asinine Idiocy) software. The kids are too stupid or lazy to rewrite anything in their own words so it is obvious what they didn't write. The problem is that the schools have gone the way of the liberal and since they can't flunk everyone, they give the students second, third, and even four chances to redo "their work".

"63 million kilowatt hours per day" -- oh boy. This suggests that the reactor can distribute those kWh energy parcels across the day as required. Surprise: it can't do that.

Also, 63/24 is 2.625, so one of these numbers is inaccurate.

Except that's not what happened when Netflix did it. They cracked down on password sharing and gained subscribers. Thing is, the people who are going to pirate are probably already pirating, and those who aren't pirating aren't going to suddenly try to figure out how to pirate when a subscription for a few bucks a month solves the problem.

Most people are just going to roll over and take it, because they've gotta have their boob tube.

Did he even actually try to "steal" the car, or is that just the police's spin on a homeless man looking for a place to sleep and refusing to leave the vehicle? Because my level of surprise at the latter would be "0%".

... they're Rogue Road Scholars?

So as those right to repair bills gain traction will we see and end to this? Publishing open source specs are a key component to a right to repair.

The main precedents in emulation legality are Sony v. Connectix and Sony v. Bleem, where Sony lost both cases, but drove the defendant out of business via the lawsuit. Make of that what you will.

I don't leave my kids alone with family members or anyone else. Ok now what? Why does she need privacy in her communications with random people on the net?

Spoken like a true non-parent.

Ask yourself one simple question; who would you trust more to not be fooled by a grown-ass pedophile? The child, or the pedophile?

Stop enabling pedophiles to hide in kids encrypted communications that they don't really justify, because we should have a legal definition of child. The child who demands 100% privacy, can go fucking pay for 100% of that privilege. Until then, shut the fuck up and eat your peas, since I'm paying for every service you demand "privacy" on.

Or perhaps it is none of the governmentâ(TM)s business.

If I use 10 trillion watts-hours of electricity, and I report it, it's likely my company will be regulated out of existence.

It doesn't matter that I'm pulling it from solar and wind. The number alone will be used as a talking point to commence a witch hunt.

There's no good reason for the government to need any special information about crypto mining electricity use. You wanna track all companies? Fine. You wanna start painting targets to choose winners and losers? Fuck off.
