What are you talking about?

It's a simple question. Did ASML need a working EUV machine in order to build an EUV machine?

The answer is obviously no. I don't really get why you are arguing this.

I'm sorry what? Where in the world is this a rule? You stop behind the white line, but up at it

You misread OP's comment. They're saying people stop a car length or more behind the white line rather than putting the nose of their car on the white line, and could they not do that.

Which is why you never answer "yes" to anything a prosecutor asks you. It's always a trap. In this case, asking if this is your account and not asking if you sent those messages is the trap.

Hard disagree.

There are mistakes that can happen - getting a phone number wrong, knocking on the wrong street number, stuff like that, sure.

But all of those mistakes need to be found and fixed DURING the investigation. This is the duty of the police officiers.

Not finding any evidence and STILL going to trial - that's on the prosecution. But I doubt that there would have been a conviction if police had not omitted things or outright lied in court. I doubt any courd would hand down a guilty verdict if all the police involved said that they found no evidence of anything.

Gender is real as long as you mean it as equivalent of biological sex.

It' always good when you're arguing the brain doesn't exist. But even if we ignore that, I bet you can't even give a foolproof definition of "biological sex".

The problem is the simplified thinking that an EUV machine is just an iteration of a DUV machine and not knowing the leap in technology between the two.

Either way you don't need a working EUV machine in order to make an EUV machine.

What "wall mart security room"?

The "DEF CON" itself is taking place at the Las Vegas Convention Center. Apparently it has a spy camera system that puts your average British Telescreen-enabled city to shame.

The "ban" on glasses is just dumb grandstanding by corporate sleaze that poses as "hackers" at the "DEF CON".

It used to be different, but that was so many years ago that even the memories of it are now vague.

An elegant retreat, if there ever was one, LOL.

Klarna sounds like a crypto scam.

Had a look at the criminal complaint just to find out where the perpetrators had gone wrong.

Sending anonymous tweets and E-mails, they purchased pre-paid debit cards to send packages to their home, various harassment techniques such as ordering a pizza "pay on delivery" at 4:30 AM, and so on and so on... how on Earth did the NPD ever figure this out?

Turns out the perpetrators flew from California to Boston area (Natick) to put a GPS on the Steiners' car, which they couldn't do because it was kept in a locked garage, so they rented vehicles to surveil the Steiners, their license plates were noted and given to Natick Police Department (NPD), and the rental agency was contacted.

Once the eBay operatives were identified, they tried various misdirects and obfustication techniques, but NPD a) verified their statements, and so figured out they were lying, and b) contacted eBay directly, which had a security team respond in good faith, and the whole plan unravelled.

One, single mistake is all that stood between a long campaign of harassment and getting found out. One good local police department who took the trouble to look deeply into the problem and figure out the truth despite a torrent of misdirection and obfustication.

I wonder how many more campaigns of harassment are ongoing, led by people who know how to conduct vehicle-based surveillance, or encouraged by ineffective or lazy policing.

If data that you own is not personal property, then what is it?

This is like saying the words on a page are not personal property, but the paper is. No court would agree to that.

Personal property is anything you own or have possesion of, including intangibles such as stock or copyrights, that is not attached to land or fixed to real estate. Data on a phone falls within that definition. The phone is a physical item you own. It's your personal property. The data within the phone is also personal property, though intangible.

Which part is "untrue", the important, decision-making part of MAGA being white? Or that their most distinctive demographic traits are being white and "christian"?

LOL, buddy, you're not even trying. There are like 2-3% token non-whites in this admin, and these are as corrupt as the white MAGAts, Kashyap being, of course, the most iconic example of this lot. And they create constant tension among the unwashed MAGAts, who don't like rich Indians any more than they like "uppity Negroes".

Why, yes. Certainly the penniless proletariat doesn't buy too many media outfits. Or perhaps you have a counterexample that establishes a pattern flash?

Because I sure can show a pattern of capitalists purchasing media to influence politics in "capitalist democracies" and I sure can demonstrate this is a major failure mode of the "capitalist democracy" in principle :)))

So, they don't buy it and my "assumption" - actually an observation - stands. This mode of failure is unique to capitalism :)

No, not the same thing at all. But you're too dumb to understand the concept of subversion of democracy by capitalist "democracy", as the LLM expounded for your benefit, which you failed to cash on. :)))

Whenever you open your mouth logic leaves the room. Case in point: I've not used "billionaire" even once, yet you, the functionally illiterate moron, keep mentioning this word in relation to my comment. Why?

Because, like every other moron you like your strawmen. They are so easy to build and defeat that you naturally run away from a real argument into a fight with your own demons. So dumb, you can't see the topic or stay on it. Sad, tommy, low IQ. Strawmen are a logical fallacy, not logical reasoning :)

Note in passing that the "serious" Gemini expansion of my original point also doesn't mention "billionaires". Why? Because, tony, the LLM is smarter than you and unlike you he can stay on topic. Unlike you ;)

If it's on your phone, it's personal property. If you don't think it is, kindly explain who owns it.

Yes. You do.
