Well, you Klansucking Sisterhumping America Hating ReCUNTlicans already packed the court to try to destroy our Constitutional rights. So I reject your claim that speaking out on matters of public importance as an equal citizen is "corporate sabotage," you neonazi inbred bitchtrash.

With the right hype, and a high enough price tag on the machine, the coffee snobs will be all over this.

Oh for sure! Running any of the jailbreaks for iPhones has mostly meant installing a huge heap of packages from Gwd Only Knows Where

Useful for having a run-time environment to study an application from you do plan to use on an uncompromised device, perhaps for reusing older hardware for some other non security critical use case, but no frigging way would I consider using a jailbroken phone as my actual phone, with real contacts and access to real data and accounts I care about on it.

This is a case where regulation KILLED.

Basically this a was thing that was essentially marketed to wealthy tourists. It WAS done under a regulatory environment, and so those people had far more trust in it than they should have. I bet had they been forced to drag the thing out to international waters and do some sketchy bitcoin transaction to pay or whatever they would not have found takers!

Regulation of this kind of stuff simply does not work. What regulator has any experience inspecting a deep sea sub? - None.. What engineer could draft what appropriate safety standards are for something like this? - None at least not without completely stifling innovation.

Yes we know from the post incident analysis corners were cut compromised materials were used and engineers and officers on the project should have know better, but that is negligence and it is why we have torts.

Modern rail roading is a good example, we have a lot of regulation. Mostly it works, but there are still the occasional accidents. Pretty much every rule in the book has one or more corpses behind it, it isn't like someone say down and just wrote out the FRA's inspection schedule, we learned the hard way the inspection frequencies required to catch certain problems before they turn into dead bodies -> then -> we said ok everybody is going to do that.

Honestly the DOT (US or CANs) should have exactly one regulation covering something like this, something akin a product safety label that says, "the safety of traveling aboard a device of this class is not well understood, proceed at your peril"

I am fan of owning your own device so I generally consider a positive thing when this stuff happens, provide the exploit path requires physical device access that inst possible to do superstitiously, IE tether then thing and put it in DFU mode, with the full restart that implies, vs pairing some bluetooth thing or something and exploiting the running OS.

Yeah I get it it means it isnt secure to travel with it - fair argument.

This though is almost cruel to release. Most of the affected devices are old enough Apple will probably just move up their end of support plans for them. Probably harms more people trying to save a buck and hang on to old kit, than helps people who might like to play with it without the lock down..

The problem here is the assumption there is any technical reason at all. That's not how the Trump administration works.

Small difference: drugs are known to be harmful, and illegal. The harm of social media to developing children has only recently been documented

If it is known that social media harms kids, then doesn't the state share some of the blame? Why is there no law?
If it is not known (or only recently came to light), can you really blame the social media companies? You could blame them for trying to block relevant legislation, but not for harm done in the past.
If the harmful effects were known to the companies and they kept it quiet, then you'd have a case, morally speaking. Bit like the tobacco firms.

So how about closing that particular loophole, and make them pay capital gains on the profits that they do realize? For instance, by taxing such loans with no "normal" repayment schedule as dividend. We've had similar issues, with business owners borrowing money from their company with no intention of ever repaying it, thus avoiding dividend tax. A new law caps these "non market conformant" loans at 100k.

A cash grab like this is pretty sickening. Even in the rather socialist leaning country I live in, this would probably not stand, local courts and the ECHR might well consider similar taxes to amount to appropriation, and illegal.

While all of this is true, if "they" means Trump then it's even worse. Trump doesn't even know what facts and reality are. To Trump, a fact is what he says and anything that disagrees is "fake news". Trump's entire life was spent continually lying, he's never spent a moment understanding reality and has no concept of how science even works. To Trump, there is no such thing as "real data", only your claim against mine and the only use for your claim is to be the enemy.

"Incidentally, this little problem is also why they cannot do anything right. Doing things right requires seeing reality. They are not capable of doing that and neither are most of their supporters."
Completely correct, although their supporters might be recoverable. To do that, we need to get serious about winning a war against lying and propaganda, something we've been losing now longer than the Trump shitshow.

We should be so lucky that the fascists view it as team sport. To them the two teams are goon squad and cockroaches. And it's not weird at all when you understand that's precisely what Putin's propaganda targets. It is not by accident, it is by design.

It's sad when wanting a functioning democracy and good government means you're a leftist. I appreciate conservative viewpoints offered in good faith, that's how democracy works, but that now makes me a libtard. It least this thread has more ex-MAGA than doubled down MAGA in it. It's remarkable when even SuperKendall has run for the hills yet geekmux is still raging. If there's anything fatal, it's being identified as dumber than SuperKendall.

"No evidence, you claim? The entire fucking country of India, would like to have a word with LA county regarding how to count votes effectively. Lear anything yet about evidence, or do I need to say the words “California healthcare audit” again?"

Thanks for yet another example of claiming without evidence. No evidence here, just two claims.

"Tell you what. Let’s put 100 liberals against 100 conservatives in political debate. There’s only one rule. When any participant is caught lying or dismissing blatant fact, the moderator gets to punch them in the face."

I like how you're responding to right wingers as though they are left wingers while suggesting violence is the answer and that you would be immediately punched in the face. In this post alone, you would already have been knocked out.

"Should I schedule a quick media event with former President Dementia..."
His schedule is constantly full, as are his diapers.

"Are Republicans innocent? Not hardly. "
There are no Republicans any more, there are only traitors to the country that call themselves Republicans. We have only one functioning party and it doesn't know what to do.

"When liberal Democrats can start actively debating conservatives on issues that actually affect the majority, THEN they can make claims about integrity and election fraud."
There are no conservatives to debate, conservatives were run out of your party. And there is no THEN, Democrats are on the side of majority and they are right about "integrity and election fraud". You're just too busy getting punched in the face.

"Heres a simple fact. Raising the voting age in America, would only affect one political party. But it would benefit an entire Nation."
Here's another punch in the face. It would neither ONLY affect one political party NOR benefit the entire nation, it is most definitely NOT a simple fact.

"Now go ahead and tell me why America should lower the voting age. Because that’s almost assuredly the Democrat play, since America isn’t dumb enough to elect an Open Border Czar again so lying libtards can try and win elections, and there isn’t quite enough homeless votes for Democrats to buy."
Another punch in the face. And how pathetic that you confuse homeless and immigrant. You can't even keep your propaganda straight.

"And by the way, it’s not Republicans being against climate change. It’s being against corrupt Democrats grifting taxpayers for that problem, ..."
So many punches in the face. Thanks for showing everyone how a MAGA simply cannot comment with constant lying.

I'm also not opposed to the idea. Not because of a supposed concentration of wealth. Musk does not have a trillion dollars, taken from elsewhere, sitting in a giant warehouse somewhere; it's all stock in a massively overvalued company that he built. His riches do not make us poorer. And I don't envy him his wealth, he's welcome to it.

What I do have an issue with, is the concentration of power this represents. Wealth, whether in actual dollars, publicly traded stock or private stock, represents an undue amount of influence in politics. If we're doing a tax on large companies, or a wealth cap, this would be the reason I'd agree with it. Not a sense of "fairness".

"OpenAI hasn't had their IPO yet, so couldn't they just find some kind of workaround to avoid this?"
Not necessarily. The tax could be paid in stock, in fact that would not be a bad idea. So that the control of important companies does not remain in the hands of a handful of individuals. Again, the only justification of this would be to prevent a concentration of power.

It's a really good question, with probably some answers. Given that AI promises that companies can thrive using AI with less human labor, it seems directly relevant to Bernie's goal as well.

Owning stock in companies in the free market is socialism? Perhaps /. can pass on your comments.

Good thing we have Elon Musk though.
