Correct, it is a long-solved problem with no new difference other than public outrage at abuses.

It is terrible that a private corporation seeks to profit in this manner, but that's an entirely different issue. All sorts of entities generate security footage for private reasons, with that footage obtainable using a judge's order. Nothing to see here.

As a layman, that makes perfect sense. As a lawyer the story might be different. We all know that it's not entrapment as long as the police get a camera crew to entrap for them. A popular TV show was based on exploitation of that.

If someone burglarizes your house, is your neighbor's security camera footage unusable because it was gathered before a warrant? Isn't a private security camera's intention to capture someone doing something bad, just like Flock?

"Thus it is government surveillance prior to a warrant."
But it's not any more than your home security cameras are "government surveillance prior to a warrant". It's the overwhelming degree to which these cameras are deployed that is offensive, similar to how Ring doorbell cameras used to inform police was offensive. Everyone hates this, but your assumption that the law supports your point of view is naive. Of course Flock exists to exploit the public through law enforcement. But that's not new or interesting.

False, this is what anti-democratic people say. Create an environment where people's votes matter and people will vote. Republicans can't have that though. Putin has elections too, Putin elections are what Republicans want going forward. You approve when you vote or not.

But that was not your claim. You claimed "a majority of people", not a majority of a subset of people.

"And the distortion is not really in the electoral college itself. It is in the states that choose to allocate electors in a winner take all manner. It's a state base flaw not a constitutional flaw."

False. The electoral college is a "constitutional flaw" created to enable exactly this corruption. Without the electoral college, an undemocratic process of selecting electors would not exist, electors would not exist.

You are really bad a partisan lying.

Now there's some first class Super Intelligence there, almost SuperKendall level in fact.

Good thing the country is being shown it was their fault for not holding Biden accountable, right? Serves us right, suggesting Biden didn't control gas prices. And what "blind eye" was turned when whose "bitch" was in office? What actions did the country miss? We certainly know what the actions are now, did Biden do anything like the Iran war? Or the absurd tariffs?

Not to defend computer science coursework, but the real world sucks too. Modern applications are an abomination, those "leetcode skills" are focused on gluing together a mile high stack of shit. AI can do that too.

But yeah, disillusionment with coding started before AI, for me it started with object-oriented programming. Code reuse makes sure everyone's work sucks with time.
