The term assault rifle is a useless term and has no meaningful definition anymore.

Many people think the definition is you can bolt a scope to the barrel, or the gun is black, scary, whatever.

It is, and has been for for almost a century, illegal for an average citizen to own a weapon that is capable of firing more than one round per trigger pull. That is the true definition of assault rifle. What people talk about now is banning weapons that resemble assault weapons, but are only capable of firing one round per trigger pull.

33 out of how many people? I think you'll find the percentage is quite small.

Being pardoned for an illegal parading conviction does not make someone more inclined to commit other, non-parading related offenses.

They already do, and they do go after them. (Hello, "largest state sponsor of terrorism"?)

What if it was? Are you assuming facial recognition was the sole evidence used against her? I suspect the German authorities had her fingerprints and other compelling evidence, the Facial Recognition by the journalist merely gave them something to investigate.

Please explain, specifically, how the "poor terrorist" had her privacy "violated"?

Did the terrorist place cameras in her home, or rely on existing footage from security cameras or deploy their own cameras IN PUBLIC SPACES?

Is there some right not to be recognized in public? In Germany? By a private citizen?

Did the journalist have her arrested by journalists, taken to journalist prison, and tried in journalist court? No. The journalist said "I think she's someone you are looking for" and the police, using all the legal means at their disposal investigated, arrested, tried her and secured a conviction.

If the tip was wrong, if the police turned up no connection/evidence, what would be the problem?

Did the journalist go to police first and not publish until confirmed, or did the journalist publish first, then go to the police - the last one is bad, the first I'm OK with.

In case you're too young to remember, this is kinda how we found lots of former Nazis a (actual Nazis, not just folks that didn't vote for Harris in 2024) - survivors would "recognize" their "faces" walking around town and tell the authorities.

It was OK then, and it's OK now, even with a little help from Facial Recognition.

Does either option mitigate or magnify her earlier crimes?

The journalist gave a tip to the police, the police followed up, and secured a (presumably) evidence-based conviction.

What exactly is the problem?

If you tie the hands of law enforcement, and you take issue with private citizens employing effective tools privately, you are making it much easier for criminals to escape justice.

Please tell us where the 40,000 dead Iranian protesters fit into this Trump-caused catastrophe...

Please, run the numbers for us - how could Musk "single-handedly" solve world hunger?

I once heard a kid at a sandwich shop say "Elon Musk could give everyone on the planet $1M and it wouldn't even affect him"... I explained to him that's not how math works, if there are 9 billion people on the planet and Musk has $90BN, he could give everyone $10 and be destitute.

But please, I'm all ears - how could Elon Musk end world hunger?

The Cybertruck was delayed for years and the price (initial) was two to two and a half times what was discussed when Tesla started taking reservations.

The Trump Phone was delayed, but AFAIK the price didn't creep up.

Like you, not sure which was worse.

There are Pre-Orders, then there are Actual Orders, then there are the number of Orders that were leaked by the third-party (Leaked Orders)

Pre-orders > Actual Orders > Leaked Orders

There is no reason to assume that every Actual Order was leaked by the third-party. - it might be, but the report doesn't support that conclusion.

Oh, hello, you must be new here - welcome to slashdot!

Anything that remotely involves Trump, Bezos, Gates, Amazon, Microsoft, or Windows will be blamed on Trump, Bezos, Gates, Amazon, Microsoft, or Windows, no matter who actually is to blame/caused the issue.

When I was a kid, we called that a Phone Book, now it's "Exposing Customer Data"? OK, whatever.

Over 60% of VMs on Azure run a version of Linux, not Windows - but you knew that, right?

Tell me about that service guarantee when the power goes out - how does the electric company make it up to you?

The issue is the community buys its electricity from one company that in turn buys its electricity from another company - it that 'other company' that is reducing available electricity, and the first company is working to find a new source of electricity, which is apparently a paperwork issue, nothing more.
