You are biting off your nose to spite your face.
Capitalism works and this is NOT capitalism.

It is totally true that China steals IP. But most of that is done by the companies in China that American hire to manufacture their products. The solution is to laugh in the face of American companies that decide to manufacture things in China, collect their tears and drink deeply. They want to save money this year to lose in next year. Do not yell at the car thieves, yell at the people that willingly gave them their car keys.

Make it in Ireland, Spain or South Korea if you can't find someone to make it in the US.

It is very cheap to find low priority low severity bugs. That is, if you want to find a way to change someone's smart thermostat to display Farenheit when all the numbers are actually Celsius, yeah you can do that for cheap.

If you want to find a critical severity, critical priority bug that lets you empty people's bank accounts and then over-writes the movie "The Fast and the Furious" on the bank's current database forcing them to revert to the last backup not connected to the system, well that is another story.

Who gets to decide what's worthless?

Statistics do....

We track what jobs earn what...how many people get accepted in to what jobs on graduation....so, we only offer student loans to degrees that give the student the absolute highest chance of getting a good paying job, one what will allow them to pay off the loans in a reasonable manner.

The AI bug finder is not particularly helpful to most criminals. It is a relatively expensive way to find lots of small bugs.

But if a nation state decides to invest a few 100 million dollars, it can find enough of these things to plan a cyber assault around them.

That is the real fear from AI bug finding.

You know the ones they advertised in old paper comics?
They sold for $1.00 (1970's money) and were drawn with red circles on the 'lenses'.

(Note they were really just pin hole cardboard with a feather over the hole, creating the illusion of lines on whatever you looked at.)

From what I understand of the guy I'm not a fan and likely would like to see him nailed.

However, in this case...I don't think the govt has a case against him.

If they never got into the phone, how do they know there was evidence on there? How could they proved he wiped evidence if they had no clue what might be on there?

It also sounds like at the time, he wasn't under arrest? He had asked for a lawyer and had been refused?

He's not under any compulsion to give a password is he? They had the phone, nothing forced the authorities to trust anything he said....they could have tried forensics like they'd do if they had a safe and tried a safecracker to get in if the suspect didn't want to give the combination.

I just don't see the case they have....or if they do it has implications far wider for common citizens and their privacy.

You think only people that make millions pay back student loans?

No, please be serious.

BUT...we do have an incredible number of students that can NOT pay off their loans...hence all this call to have the US Tax payers pay their loans for them ie. loan forgiveness.

We need to quit giving out student loans and scholarships to people seeking worthless degrees....where these kids get into significant debt for fields that lead to jobs that do not pay enough for them to get that loan paid off....basically they become indentured servants for much of their adult life in a manner of speaking.

Let's met out student loans only to those pursuing degrees that are in fields that at least give them a fighting chance to earn enough money upon graduation and actually secure good jobs.

If you want to study underwater basket weaving, then find, do it on your own dollar, but no loaning of money to take worthless classes that do not need to meaningful jobs that earn $$ enough to pay the loans off AND lead to a happy level of livelihood and lifestyle.

You think influencers don't make money? Why do you imagine people keep doing it?

Sure I do....just like some people become multi-million dollar NBA basketball players, or earn millions doing Only Fans.

I believe that % of people after that goal that attain it are incredibly small.

Again, not massive enough success to risk hundreds of thousands of dollars in student loan debt they'll likely never pay off...

I said molested not rape. There were two women that complained about inappropriate actions. One of them claimed rape, the other said that neither were raped.

Later on the one that claimed rape admitted she had lied about the rape. No one ever denied that drunk people at a college part were strippers were hired did stupid shit.

The quite truth is that reality is a lot more complicated than simple stories.

I absolutely hate it when some asshole simplifies a complex situation to make their side look like the good guys. When you do that, it turns you into the bad guy because you are lying as much as your opponent.

The jobs they get are things like:

Social Worker
Guidance Counselor
Lobbyists
HR in companies that were sued for sexist behavior.

There are more than 20 times positions as graduates.
However, those jobs are mostly relatively poor paying.

From a financial position, I would advise people to go to some mechanics trade school instead. Elevator repair and airplane maintainer are great jobs you can get without a college degree and pay more.

I would definitely watch MrBeast attempting to teach college students how to do his job.

Especially if they decided to make it a 'unscripted' show where they picked a bunch of idiots and advised them to act even stupider than they were.

There was a period of time where we had unexamined DNA evidence - when we knew to collect it but either did not trust it or it was too expensive to do a full analysis of it.

Later on it got cheaper and we understood it enough to trust it more (it is not 100% trustworthy - not how we use it).

They found that 95% of the guilty cases where we had unexamined DNA evidence were in fact guilty. 5% of the time, a person that could not have provided that DNA was convicted.

Which works out to one in 20 convicted people being innocent.

As for the idea that a third found innocent being guilty - we do not find people innocent, we find them "not guilty". And that is pretty rare - prosecutors have a good idea of whether they can win the case and do not waste their time if they cannot. More than 90% of people that go to trial for a serious crime are convicted of something - if not all things.

I find that to be a much better estimate of around 1 in 20 convicts being innocent and a similar amount of those fond not guilty to be guilty. To me, those odds are reasonable effective. I am not outraged at how bad our legal system is, I find it acceptable.

That said:
1) We can always make it better - the bond system for example is vile and evil, keeping innocent poor people in jail without trial, while at the same time letting wealthy criminals get out of jail and commit more crimes.

2) Given the knowledge that about 5% of convicts are innocent, the death penalty is totally misused. If we can't fix it, it should be abolished. I am not against it in theory, but our current use is vile. Prosecutors tend to use it based on the victim and the horror of the crime - without even considering they might have the wrong guy. Kill a black male prostitute, you get jail. Kill a cop or a pretty blond girl, you get the death penalty. They even use it on felony murder cases where your partner killed someone but you did not.

In particular, I would never allow the death penalty to be used when evidence is 'missing',
