They took away my strncpy? No problem, I'll use strcpy instead.

It's a state matter; SCOTUS isn't going to take it.

Garbage regulations like IP create these behemoths. If you want freedom, stop regulating monopolies into existence.

Statism creates billionaires.

False. While the ballot measure does not impose an annual wealth tax, it authorizes the legislature to implement one without further voter approval. It also lets the legislature set the rate and the floor.

The wealth tax on Brin would amount to 67%, because it goes by percentage of voting shares or percentage of ownership, whichever is greater. I assume something similar would apply to Page, who also holds Alphabet class B shares. Of course they're going to avoid that.

"Who would have thought that school buses would be turned into the mass surveillance state?,"

As soon as they heard about the cameras? EVERYBODY.

Democracy is for retards.

Government did this. All of this. Government regulated so much that only a rare few can afford to compete.

This is late stage statism. Retard voters are to blame.

Like you.

The original article was written with AI and it shows.

Interestingly, I was in a lab yesterday and met a PhD student whose thesis was largely about using LLMs to fake fingerprints and retinal scans.

The US tends to import heavy sour crude and export light sweet crude. We have the refining capacity for heavy sour, which is more capital and energy intensive, so that works out economically. We have extra heavy refining capacity now because in January Dos Bocas went on line in Mexico, so Mexico can now refine more heavy and export more lucrative refined products. Fortunately for US refiners, we also got a new source of crude (very heavy and sour) when we "liberated" Venezuela.

In general, the heavier and more sour the crude, the harder it is to refine; if the US suddenly had an excess of light sweet and a shortage of heavy sour, US refineries could still handle it.

And not sell any routers because to have a sufficiently American supply chain they'd cost 4-10x as much and be unavailable in quantity (the domestic suppliers for the relevant components are pretty low-volume because they only exist to support the military)

Existing router manufacturers will get exemptions, which will prevent them from challenging the law in court. Would-be newcomers will not get exemptions and thus be out of luck, because they won't have the resources to challenge the law.

And when those quotas aren't met, standards are lowered to magically make more people qualify that otherwise wouldn't.

The FAA didn't even stop there. They made a "biographical questionnaire" which had no objectively correct answers, and then handed out the answers they wanted to the National Black Coalition of Federal Aviation Employees (NBCFAE) to be passed on to black candidates.
