They'll ban you for expressing forbidden opinions. Opinions that are extremely fucking common outside of Reddit.

I was auto suspended because I quoted a 30 year old statement supporting the rights of gays and lesbians that made reference to "LGB communities". I was accused of Trans erasure or some other stupid bullshit.

I hope the stock price falls low enough for Elon Musk to buy it for a song.

I know it is subpar, so I plan accordingly.

It is not obvious to me why a water system needs to be on the net. I understand having remote controls of various valves and pumps and so forth, but can't all of that be on a private local network?

This is a horrible idea. This will just take money away from having decent public airports and reduce the incentive to provide them. We don't need more ways for the rich to separate themselves from everyone else.

No, that is not how it works. Different jurisdictions have different copyright laws, and you have to file and win the suit for infringement separately in each jurisdiction. What the international treaties such as the Berne Convention do is give you automatic copyright in the other signatory countries. So, you publish a book in the US, you not only automatically have a US copyright on it, you also have a copyright on it in most other countries. But if you want to sue a publisher in, say, Germany, you still have to file a separate suit there.

As I recall in discovery it turned out that SCO had actually hired an expert to compare its code to Linux and he had reported that he was unable to find any overlap. The SCO claims to own Linux code were in bad faith.

I'm not criticizing the proposal. It is obviously good for the public welfare. I'm just curious as to whether the cost will be large enough that the companies will resist, small companies perhaps go out of business, prices to consumers go up significantly, generally speaking, what the consequences may be.

Anyone know how much this will cost the companies?

By your thinking, airlines ought to be allowed to operate using experimental aircraft and stock aircraft that are not properly maintained. It's one thing for an inventor to be reckless and kill himself. It's another when you take paying customers.

There was little opportunity to prevent Stockton Rush from operating an unsafe vessel outside of a totalitarian environment we wouldn't want. However, when you start offering rides to paying customers, things change. That should and can be regulated. It is hard to hide. Furthermore, Rush fired staff who pointed out the problems. A better whistleblower system might have made their voices heard.

You don't need government approval for each trip in your car. That's a major difference between what China is requiring for drones and US driving laws.

Four hours is about halfway from NJ to Barcelona. I'm not sure I see the point in turning around.
