I know there are less of them every year, but these last few have been really pushing it.

I'll bet Leonard Cohen would also like a word or two.

Ah, rap: Music for people who can't sing.

i wouldn't bother. I got an air purifer a few years ago, biggest waste of money. I played with it for a bit, but then I lost interest.

Nowadays, all it does is sit in the corner, gathering dust.

>The Kremlin would just get the installers to give them the direct access

What, you mean something like...

> these cameras contain a hardcoded list of Russian phone numbers, which can be used to open a backdoor

> every potential upstart is now spooked that they can be sued out existence

Why are you saying that like it's a bad thing?

Uh-huh. And, apart from the fancy language, the difference between that and Life Without Parole is.....?

"The U.S. is currently housing by far the world's largest and most permanent population of prisoners who are guaranteed to die behind bars. The next closest country was Kenya, with only about 3,700 prisoners serving life without parole as of 2016. At the Louisiana State Penitentiary, for instance, more than 3,000 of the 5,100 prisoners are serving life with a chance of parole, and most of the remaining 2,100 are serving sentences so long that they cannot be completed in a typical lifetime. About 150 inmates have died there in the time period between the years of 2000 and 2005. The United States holds 40% of the world's prisoners with life sentences, more than in any other country"

Yes, there is absolutely no reason for a (checks notes) freight delivery company to know their customer's name, home address, email and phone number.

> Second rule: To obey humans
> And the third: To do what humans tell it

That's...the same thing.

The third rule is to protect its own existence, and each law is superceded by the previous one.

He doesn't seem to be aware of that part of it, either.

Oh, dear me, no. That wouldn't work.

They'll grant the visa, let me buy the tickets, book the accommodation, fly all the way over there and then get detained at the border when I refuse to give them my social media passwords, *then* they'll kick me out. Eventually.

Or have you forgotten already: It's the cruelty that is the point?

I'd love to, but I said something mean about your pedo-in-chief (well, several somethings), so you won't let me in now.

> He's going to monetize the role of the office of the president of the United States

That ship has long since sailed. We're way past future tense now.

> what's publicly visible... That would be their persons. You know, unless they're the Invisible Man.

And I'm pretty sure my car counts as one of my effects.

My papers are in the glovebox. You need to give me a valid reason for wanting to see them.

Or they could do the other thing, which is to subtly modify it so that it spits out instructions that have a non-zero chance of killing the person who blindy follows it.


Just like the The Anarchist's Cookbook.

Dead soldiers from the losing side of huge battles buried in shallow graves near the battlefield! Say it isn't so, Ethel!
