Well, it depends. Did he really commit a crime and is the government action just? If yes to both questions, then law and due process should be followed.
But it certainly doesn't fell like it and the government trying to bring an ancient and unrelated law to the table is a bad sign.
You didn't even bother to remove the AI artifacts in "your" text?
No surprise at all. It's his usual M.O. Create a crisis, go back with nothing accomplished, claim victory for ending the crisis.
the FBI "developed a series of commands to send to compromised routers" to collect evidence, reset settings, and prevent hackers from breaking back in.
Wait! What?!?
Paper ballots... #2 pencil... Humans counting. There, all fixed.
Yeah, because no election in history, with paper ballots counted by people, has ever gone wrong.

You just missed the part that says e-voting is aimed at people who can't physically access the polling places.
First of all, as others have already pointed, the premises of the opinion are very flawed. Spotify is profitable and the big earners are the labels.
Second of all, I'm all for artists owning their own music and receiving better payment for that. And although I'm a heavy Spotify user, I really don't care if it explodes tomorrow.
But, what I would definitely NOT want is fragmentation, just like we had with TV and movie industry. I don't want every other label launching it's own platform and creating silos so I end having to pay even more to them if I want to listen any music. Same goes for the individual artists: I don't want to have to use a different app or website to search and listen each one of them.
What I would gladly accept? Some kind of platform/aggregator where I can find artists, listen their music and pay directly to them. They can be free to choose their pricing and the way they charge. A small fee for every play? A larger sum for indefinite use? Maybe a price for a whole album? They can even offer some musics free as a sample.
I think something like that can be fair for artists and fans.
Oooh! I'll take the bet:
No UNDISPUTABLE AND DEFINITIVE PROOF of intelligent alien life will emerge in the next 12 months.
How much you're willing to bet?
It doesn't really matter if it's paid for by the state, corporate tax, or income tax, in the ed it all amounts to the same thing. What matters is that it's a collective arrangement, not something any individual company is on the hook for.
That is exactly the point I wanted to get. Try and convince US companies and people to adopt a system like that without them screaming "BUT COMMUNISM!" in terror!
I wonder where does the money for the insurance and retraining comes. Hmmm...
I too had adhesive capsulitis in both shoulders, one right after the other. One of them took more than 2 years to stop hurting, and the healing is so slow that I really can't say when it occurred. I just vaguely remember putting some clothes one day and suddenly noticing "hey! my shoulder doesn't hurt anymore."
An idea would be to lawmakers passing laws (yeah, I know!) requiring big tech to pay for all of the energy generation and (most of the) infrastructure, effectively making energy free for all residential consumers in the US.
It would of course need some thought, adjustments and compromises, but I think it's doable.
Well, I clicked the link and, to no one's surprise, the 8 million figure you provided is simply a lie.
The only mention of that number is when the article talks about "encounters".
Since January 2021, when Joe Biden came to office, there have been more than 10 million encounters - about 8 million came over the southwest land border with Mexico.
And what is an "encounter"?
A migrant encounter is a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) term for any interaction between immigration officials and noncitizens who are either apprehended while crossing the border illegally (Border Patrol) or determined to be inadmissible at a port of entry (Office of Field Operations). These encounters, which include both apprehensions and expulsions, are recorded as events rather than unique individuals.
I get what you're saying. I guess a good analogy would be atomic energy.
It's incredibly useful, not only for electricity generation, but also fields like medicine which greatly benefited from it. Unless someone decides to destroy humanity with it.
I think AI has immense potential. But if it comes at the cost of completely eroding human society, what's the point?
I have been saying this for some time, now. The fake news/scams epidemic is only punctually about deceiving people. But the broader goal is to actually make people don't believe in anything anymore. So, only "the leader" can be "trusted".
