Worse, IMHO, they quote without correction this phrase "the world's first network-based recovery of a launch vehicle" where it is clear that "network" is a mistranslation.

Let us guess, more fun.

And? What phone doesn't have a unique SIM card? Do you log into your google phone with a unique google account? Apple also has unique IDs for their system. Almost every service has a unique account just for you. Isn't this common practice?

He was caught because Microsoft had like 10 IP addresses recorded for that device's unique ID. Those same IPs were used for the remote desktop connections via ngrok to the same offending systems.

That's how they identified that it was his laptop specifically. It's not like MS specifically had logs of. They collaborated with all parties involved to paint a picture. This isn't exclusively a Microsoft privacy issue.

Copyright exists solely as a privilege the people give to creators to encourage them to create things for the benefit of the people.

Using copyright to prevent the people accessing creations breaks that deal and means the privilege, copyright, should be withdrawn.

While copyright terms are an outrageous 95 years, Piracy is a moral choice.

Walking down the street of any big city makes it very clear that there are many, many people who are on the streets but incapable of looking after themselves there.

We owe it to them to get them somewhere they can be looked after, and to them and ourselves not to make them into committers of crime, being "looked after" in jail.

That is silly. The government pays plenty of people to do work for it. This is no different.

Because having a job gives people more of a stake in society and is good for them and society.

The right are demented about how to improve the world, but the woke are actively hateful of the those who disagree with them.
So when a woke person insults me rather than engaging in reasoned debate, I let them know exactly what they are: hateful, woke and a cunt.

It must be very painful going through life so demented that you waste time assembling shit like this.

You have the comprehension and rhetorical skills of a child.

I wrote: "We should give people UBI, but then we have the right to lock up people who cannot manage their own lives [...]"

You replied "As far as "saving" people from themselves. That's a fantasy. You can't help someone who is mentally ill."

You can help people who cannot help themselves when you put them somewhere they can be helped, like it or not.

That will cost much more than UBI, but it will make our society better and safer for everyone.

I guess they worked this out the same way they decided burnt food kills you, i.e. by trying it on rats ( who have for the most part evolved without cooking their food or sitting in chairs ) and extrapolating to humans ?

I would prefer people to be on UBI and living in houses than living in tents, stealing my stuff, attacking me on the street,, etc etc.

We should give people UBI, but then we have the right to lock up people who cannot manage their own lives and to get them off drugs, the hard way if necessary.
It will often save their lives and more often give them a chance to live a decent. productive, happy life.
And save the rest of us from the consequences of them not being able to manage their lives by themselves.

Are "CmdrTaco" and "Anonymous Coward" taken ?

How hard is it to just create jobs for the sake of jobs ?

I mean manual jobs, but not necessarily hard physical labour - secretarial, light manufacturing, litter collecting, painting, whatever.
It doesn't have to add to the bottom line overall, but just benefit society a bit.

Why can't cities make work like this for people who are not working, and pay them substantially more for doing that work than for doing nothing ?
And give unemployed people back some pride, and sense of participation in normal society.
