Other than it being used for stalkery purposes.

This is the most "correlation vs causation" quote ever. If you were in any kind of position of authority related to nuclear weapons, it would be Jurassic Park levels of hubris.

But the NSA knew about this decades ago. Everything can be used as a microphone if you try hard enough.

I really do feel sorry for the women within 50 miles of every single techbro.

Congratulations, you just reinvented the HSM.

They're within the exclusive economic zone, though.

He's getting a cut, so he's all for it.

Nice.

Or other crappy web application.

Then parents would face the death penalty for letting their poor innocent children access the infinite horrors of social media.

In before someone goes into a rant about how nethack isn't a roguelike, but a roguelite, because it doesn't meet some batshit insane standard that rogue doesn't even meet.

What happens when someone hits the EPO at a multi-gigawatt datacenter?

Look, I'm predisposed to be on the side of the farmers rather than Monsanto, but claiming "deep pockets" is the reason these lawsuits turned out the way they did is absurd. See Bowman v. Monsanto Co., 569 U.S. 278 (2013), and Monsanto Canada Inc v Schmeiser [2004] 1 S.C.R. 902, 2004 SCC 34 for the actual reasons for the lawsuits.

Further, Monsanto has explicitly declared that they will not engage in the behavior that you are saying is it issue here: "We do not exercise our patent rights where trace amounts of our patented seeds or traits are present in a farmer’s fields as a result of inadvertent means." They're certainly capable of going back on their promises, of course, but an innocent farmer would be able to use that statement in their defense... unless this was more than "pollen that came from a neighboring farm."

Monsanto is a shit company that does shit things. Shit on them (rightfully) for that, not the things that are made up or taken out of context.

So the work had already been done.
