It doesn’t keep the voters in the dark about anything. It further cements the fact that nobody with any power to do so is willing to actually hold Trump accountable for the many crimes he has committed. It has been 4 fucking years since he has been president and 8 fucking years since this specific crime was committed. They should have sentenced him immediately after conviction like any normal convicted criminal. I guarantee if he gets elected he won’t get sentenced, so why postpone sentencing?

Isn’t this always the case, though? What about EVs changes what cars are sent to developing countries?

If the world is buying more cars and therefore more cars are being sent to developing countries, how does the new car being an EV change what cars or how many cars are sent? Before EVs many people still bought new cars every 3 to 5 years, and the old cars got sold to someone. It doesn’t matter who bought them, since the gas was still being burned. Now, the same thing is true but the new car might be an EV, and the old car might also be an EV (I’ve traded in 2 full EVs already for new cars).

Show me where that implosion is. Just because Tesla is the biggest and is slowing down doesn’t mean the entire market is slowing down.

Yes, but there is no technical justification for Spotify to not have real-time, remote access to a database, even if the database is constantly changing. We have had the technology to do that for 25 years. If Spotify is not properly handling the contracts to legally stream content, then some of the fault lays with them. Spotify is basically claiming their defense is ignorance. They can’t be held liable because they didn’t know what they could and couldn’t stream. How is that a legal justification for breaking the law? And Kobalt’s reasons for not letting Spotify know is also dumb.

What are they doing in that apartment complex? If they are selling drugs or trafficking people, that’s already against the law and doesn’t need a new bill. If they are trying some complex plan to overthrow the county and make it a Venezuelan enclave, then well, maybe something needs to be done other than enforcing existing laws. Otherwise, it’s just a bunch of people from the same community living together.

Cases like this are frustrating. Spotify should NOT be able to stream any artist they want without paying them. But the judge said that’s OK because the victims waited too long to complain. The judge also said it’s totally OK that Spotify doesn’t have a list of what is legal for them to stream, simply because the list is constantly changing. This isn’t a paper list typed out by some secretary. This is a computer database that can be checked a thousand times a second.

There’s also the fact that who was the actual copyright holder was questionable and changed hands during the whole thing, so nobody knew who they should be contracting with.

Yeah, you’re right, what was I thinking? Your second-hand knowledge is totally more accurate than my firsthand knowledge. I definitely didn’t have technical conversations with him about propellant margins due to boil-off during coast. I absolutely wasn’t there when he agilely and correctly answered a barrage of technical questions from a 3-star General.

I’m not saying he is all-knowing and all-powerful. I don’t doubt he is so arrogant that he would ramble on about something he doesn’t understand… especially magnetism, since I never understood that shit even after years of physics classes during college. But just because he is an idiot about the deep physics behind how electric cars run doesn’t mean he is stupid about all things.

I’ve been in meetings with him when he was still active at SpaceX and before he truly dove off the deep end. I had direct conversations with him telling him his engineers were wrong about something. He was quite intelligent and knew his shit. He was arrogant and a dick, but it was obvious he knew a LOT about the rockets he was building. He wasn’t doing the engineering, but he definitely understood the work going on.

Now, though, the dude is a fucking lunatic. I don’t know if he just started taking too many drugs or if the billions of dollars made something break in his mind or what, but he was not like this back then.

The point of the sanctions wasn’t to end Huawei or slow them down in the market. It was to prevent access to specific technologies for the Chinese government. All companies in China are owned by the government, so all data gathered by companies (either from customers or from suppliers) goes directly to the government.

Also, profitability is a weird metric when a company is financially backed by a government.

I did. The trip was a blast. The restaurants are great, and the area is beautiful.

This should not be public record. I hate that when I register in CA my info gets sent to every spamming piece of shit political group.

As an extremely avid wine drinker (and beer and cocktails), I’m good with this. That shit is too expensive. I just got back from tasting in Burgundy, and the range of prices is wild. One bottle from a specific vineyard costs literally $40,000, but a bottle from grapes 15 feet away costs $250. A bottle from a different producer from the exact same vineyard as the $250 bottle might charge $1000.

Can I tell the difference between a $50 bottle and a $250 bottle? Usually. But is it WORTH the difference? Usually not (but sometimes it is). There’s no chance I could tell enough of a difference between a $250 bottle and a $1000 bottle to make it worth it, regardless of me being unable to afford the more expensive one. I was actually afraid I was going to spoil myself from cheaper wine with this trip to Burgundy, but I ended up finding I’m happy with the wines I can afford and have easy access to.

Anyway, I’d be happy for the price of wine to come down.

I hope enough companies realize the inherent danger to their IP this feature brings. Or that the government realizes the inherent danger to CUI data and forces there to be an admin level lock of the feature so normal users can’t just turn it on.

I and many others can’t just switch to Linux because we are required to use company laptops/desktops that are admin locked.

You do know that many millions of people are given laptops/desktops for work that have locks that prevent new OS’s from being installed, right?

Yep, the scenario of killing someone was actually in the official write-up of the judgement. It wasn’t an absolute yes, but it did say the courts would have to determine it on a case by case basis.

It’s about hurting the people you want to be hurt: sluts, illegals (but only from countries you don’t like), black people, liberals, gays, etc. There is so much hatred and fear and animosity built up over years of listening to Fox News and Rush Limbaugh, and he is the person voicing all their pent up emotions. He makes it OK to be the assholes they have not felt comfortable being before.

It’s not necessarily that he is their ideal person (though for some people a giant blowhard asshole is), it’s that he furthers their agenda. He packs the courts, lowers taxes, punishes the correct people, fights communism.

I get the appeal of Trump. I don’t like it and can’t fathom being the kind of person who would vote for him, but I understand why people vote for him.

I don’t get Kennedy at all. Is it purely Q people still thinking he is the next savior or some shit?

and throwing his Bible in the trash

Welp, that seals it. The guy deserved it.

We all know it was Dick Cheney out there hunting with him.

You want a citation for the house being burned not being justice? Do you think the house deserved it?
