You mean this?

I already explained. The state says, do this job or you go to jail. So you do the job. Are you following me thus far? Next, your coworker does an 80 hour week. The state says, that's cool bro, but all we can give you is a high-five. So you decide it's not worth the effort and do the minimum 40 hours. Still following?

Now imagine (I know this is very hard for you, so bear with me).. Imagine everyone does 40 hours, nobody goes above the minimum requirement, nobody tries to improve the process. The society stagnates.

That's it. I know there's like 3 steps, which is way higher than you can count normally, but you made it here. So congrats.

What's sad is how little money that is.

Which 2 statement are contradictory? Can you quote them?

You clearly never talked to anyone who lived under socialism. You are assigned a job. You work that job for exactly 8 hours. You reach your production quota. Doing more or working longer hours gets you nothing. Doing less gets you sent to jail.

The standard is a preponderance of evidence. That does not mean they can win with no evidence. I think what you're referring to is the missing evidence rule, where the court assumes the evidence is against the side hiding the evidence. That only applies when the evidence is under their control.

I'm the example I gave, the defendant doesn't have access to training data. You can't apply the rule against them when it's a third party that holds the evidence.

Looking at you post history, it's not surprising you don't care about rights.

Oh really and you thing e-verify is useful?

Old Orchard Beach Police Chief Elise Chard said the department used E-Verify to hire Officer Jon Luke Evans.

“As part of the hiring process, the Town reviewed multiple forms of identification, including photo identification, and submitted Evans’ I-9 form to the Department of Homeland Security’s E-Verify Program. The Department of Homeland Security then verified that Evans was authorized to work in the U.S. The form was submitted and approved by DHS on May 12, 2025. Evans would not have been permitted to begin work as a reserve officer until and unless Homeland Security verified his status,” Chard said in a statement on Monday.

"... The Old Orchard Beach Police Department’s reckless reliance on E-Verify to justify arming an illegal alien, Jon Luke Evans violates federal law, and does not absolve them of their failure to conduct basic background checks to verify legal status,” -Tricia McLaughlin, Assistant Secretary of Homeland Security

Hmm, Facebook and Google get to violate copyright on a massive scale. but you little folk have to pay through the nose.

As it should be /s

Once streaming became as expensive as cable I was not surprised that piracy became thing again.

Lies.

Here's an entire database of aftermarket catalytic converter you can buy in California: https://ww2.arb.ca.gov/afterma...

Just charge them 100% tax on profits on replacement parts. Or even 200% if you really want to discourage it.

Actually there's a lot of mosquito species (~3500). The infertility method can only target one species at a time. So rather than eradicating all mosquitoes, it's more like eradicating the top 5 or so species that carries disease and likes to bite humans.

The food chain will barely notice the difference.

Not at all. It really doesn't take much to buy off a few lawmakers. If the law can convince even 5% of pirates to start paying, it'll be worth the cost.

Whether a few lawmakers can actually get this bill through is an entirely separate question though.

No it's dumb and won't work. Future lawsuits will probably end up like this:

SAG-AFTRA lawyer: This video game voiceover uses a generative voice model. It was trained using performances by our members.

Video game company: No, we used a model made by XYZ. They say they only use legal sources.

SAG-AFTRA lawyer: I can prove they're using SAG-AFTRA performances. I just need to subpoena XYZ. Judge?

Judge: Granted.

SAG-AFTRA lawyer: Hey XYZ, I have a subpoena. Give me all of the data you used for training your model.

XYZ (in China): No.

SAG-AFTRA lawyer: Hey Chinese court, I need you to help me enforce this subpoena.

Chinese judge: Hey XYZ, they want your training data.

XYZ: It trade secret.

Chinese judge (to SAG-AFTRA lawyer): It's a trade secret. Sorry.

SAG-AFTRA lawyer: Don't you have laws on training data? They can't train using people's voices without permission.

Chinese judge: True, but only if the public can use the model to generate content. Internal use is exempted.

SAG-AFTRA lawyer: What kind of weird limitation is that?

Chinese judge: We really only care if the model is promulgating anti-Party propaganda.

SAG-AFTRA lawyer: God damn it.

Doesn't work because you can't prove that someone was going to hire a human in the first place. And for something that could be done from just about anywhere, you have no way of enforcing those laws.

Capitalism is one way to promote efficiency in production, however it's not the only reason to have efficiency. You actually have a greater need for efficiency under socialism because there are fewer people willing to put in the long hours at work. If the total number of working hours is lower, you need a much higher per-hour productivity to make up the difference (or accept that your society will fall behind).

Also the argument that we should be empathetic about them losing their jobs makes zero sense under socialism. The state will simply assign them new jobs.
