Comment This is not the way. (Score 4, Interesting) 100

If we want billionaires to pay their fair share, we should start by eliminating some of the tax loopholes that allow them to avoid paying the taxes that less wealthy people have to pay.

These loopholes are many, they favor the ultra wealthy, they absolutely can be eliminated, and doing so is far less problematic than this wealth tax proposal.

The proposal here was not for the government to BUY the stocks, just like anyone else. It was for the government to TAKE the stocks. For free. In return for nothing.

And, regardless, the key difference between capitalism and socialism (in this context) is who owns the means of production: private citizens, or the government? Once the government owns the means of production (whether they bought it or seized it), then that qualifies as socialism.

This slider isn't exactly boolean. It is totally possible for the government to own some of the means of production, without owning all of it. That just means that we have a mix of socialism and capitalism going on.

You should give a 90 day window so you don't become an enabler of crime.

The bug bounty is there to incite you to look for bugs at all. If there isn't a bug bounty program, or you don't think it will pay out, then don't go looking for bugs.

If you find a bug anyway, and want to do the right thing, then you responsibly disclose it (whether you get paid or not). If you don't want to do the right thing, then you just ignore the bug and don't publish it.

If you publish the bug without giving the company 90 days first, then you are harming all the innocent people who are using that product (by telling criminals exactly how to exploit an unfixed bug). That is an evil thing to do. In some places, lawsuits might fly your way because of something like that.

You should still disclose the vulnerability to the company, and tell them they have 90 days before you publish it.

If you just publish it, you are putting all their users at immediate risk of being exploited by criminals who view your publication and immediately weaponize it. That is why you must disclose it to the company first, so they can get a fix out BEFORE you go public with it.

If you are unwilling to do this, then don't publish the finding.

Nobody is buying a vanilla android phone and using it as delivered to not use any Google services. If they want that they are at least reflashing, if not buying a phone with an alternate android on it... Which moto claims they will soon offer. Not holding my breath though

The U.S. Department of Justice can now set up a cutout and try to buy that data as part of a criminal investigation and sting operation.

Instead they will buy that data as part of an investigation in to who's getting abortions. You forgot who's running this country, they're not interested in catching criminals. That's difficult and expensive compared to declaring victory.

Artificial Intelligence will lead to labour shortages, not the replacement of humans, [...] One goal of space exploration is to move polluting industries off Earth, said Bezos, whose Blue Origin aims to compete with trillionaire Elon Musk's SpaceX in rockets.

Space exploration, which is *checks notes* much better done by automated systems less fragile than us meatbags. Space manufacturing, same. So he waves around an irrelevant distraction and we're supposed to suck on it? We're not that fucking stupid, Temu Lex Luther.

It may be that you define their pre-installed apps as not crapware, but that's a judgement call, not a statement of technical fact.

Oh no! You can't remove... *checks* the app for moto actions, and an app for notifications!

What I'm talking about is bundled apps like Faceboot. They can be removed.

You don't even buy a Moto phone unless you want Moto actions, so yeah it's a judgement call, but if you already made the call to buy Moto, then you've already made the other call as well.
