Private parties can write up any contract they like.

And law enforcement simply investigates vandalism they are not going to pay for it or fix it!

A private party can sometimes be treated as a government actor, but it is rare to fit the narrow definition that prior courts have carved out.

And the 13th Amendment covers private actions, so it is example of a case where Amendments are not purely about state action doctrine.

People have a reasonable expectation of privacy. Piecing together information from the thousand or so cameras that see you everyday is a violation of the 4th Amendment if sold to the police or otherwise is acting on the direction of the police. They need a warrant and Chatrie v. United States is only the beginning of how privacy violating tech companies are going to get slapped down.

Failure to achieve perfect compliance is not actually failure. I think anyone with a few braincells knows that a law is not perfect and will not stop every instance of a behavior.

Some people confuse strength with being a violent fool

Many of the provisions expired in 2025.

We have human grown slop right from the Boomers' mouths

If I was running a town budget I wouldn't want to insure that shit. If any vendor offered to pay for the vandalism and eat the insurance premiums and deductibles, then that is a huge point in favor of that vendor. Disasterous for their business though.

Not even downsized, more like taking a short break from the regularly scheduled fascist dystopia. The fake concern and imagary compliance is very much temporary. Once the American people lose interest and follow a new distraction, they can install 2X more cameras and 10X more AI

Believing in one person, one vote and the concept of individual liberty is playing right into their hands.

You don't have to engage if you really don't believe it is plausible that something catastrophic could happen by hooking all of our infrastructure, law enforcement, surveillance, and military into statistically-driven software stuck in a feedback loop.

Laws are useless in general.

And by the time you get AT & T to fulfill the fiber delivery, Starlink will be providing Internet at Fiber Speeds to the whole planet. Starlink V3 is coming sooner (Within months) than the snails at the terrestrial providers could imagine.

If your code doesn't compile in Rust just wrap it with unsafe { }
Hacking around and doing it the wrong way is much easier than figuring out how to get a complicated data structure through the borrow checker and value** lifetimes.

** I think of Rust values as objects in the general sense.

for once I am really rooting for the extinguish part of Microsoft's Embrace Extend Extinguish MO..

The language and the tech are fine but the proponents are mostly insufferable.

"review the recent changes, looking for: gaps, flaws, inconsistency, or overtuning."

"oh shit! update the tests and docs too."
