I tend to agree, but I have had a few times in my life I have. Obvious drunk driver, guy beating up his girlfriend, and two brothers shooting at each other in the trailer park.

You already messed up talking to the officer in the first place.

Unless you called the cops don’t talk to them. There is literally nothing you can say without possibly incriminating yourself.

Life or death? Talk to save someone otherwise seriously shut up.

First, that is not your child. It is a fucking elephant.

Second, I don’t care if the elephant says it has a high tolerance. You don’t shoot up anything with this much smack.

Third, labeling this poor junkie elephant as an aspie is just cruel and unusual.

You will accept AI has “feelings” or the Tech Bros will get mad that you are dehumanizing their dehumanizing machine.

Oh, I like that because it puts a ever increasing burden to use it or lose it. Once it is no longer profitable it goes back to public domain.

I find patents of dubious value to say the least. It is definitely the worst part of IP.

If there is any chance of reform it would have to still appeal to all parties. We definitely need to think about solutions that have not been proposed before.

As much as I would like to advocate for abolishment of IP, I recognize it is an unrealistic demand.

After all, IP didn’t magically appear. It took hundreds of years of court cases and laws passed to get to the arguably ridiculous point we are now.

Personally, I think that if small business capitalism actually existed then it would run contrary to that.

There would be no need for copyright or patents. These systems create artificial scarcity which hinders society as a whole to benefit a minority.

I feel like our existing system of laissez-faire capitalism fully embraces the rent seeking found in intellectual property.

Copyrights and patents generate enormous amounts of wealth from rent seeking. This wealth has been used to continue to entrench these draconian concepts into our legal and governmental systems.

Even worse they have been used to stop the spread of information and monopolize development thus slowing down technological advancement. So many people have died so these clowns can make a buck.

One could argue that artificial scarcity is a farce, but unless you have more money than the people who benefit from IP, your voice will not be heard on a policy level.

Wow, so there is clear motive for her illegal action.

"A few hours after Niggenaber drove the tractor through the crowd on Nov. 18, the X account under her name said “ban it!!!” responding to a post asking whether Islam should be banned.

“F—k off trash! Go back to the hole you came from. No country wants you. This is our country. You follow our rules or get the f—k out! Trash,” reads a Nov. 2 post on Niggenaber’s account, responding to a video of a Muslim woman in the U.K.

Another user posted a photo in May of a car sticker depicting a vehicle driving people over accompanied with the text “All Lives Splatter” and “nobody cares about your protest. Keep your ass off the road.” While it’s unclear which protest the photo is referencing, Niggenaber’s account responded with: “Discusting (sic) people … What is this world coming to?”"

Since she believes in immigration law so much perhaps a good dose of attempted murder and assault charges should be shown to her in a court of law.

Sue them out of existence. They are not going to stop.

This did not make it better.

You bring up a lot of good points.

Apparently there are some rights that exist beyond death. Currently HIPAA protection after death for medical privacy only extends fifty years.

So it does appear the argument is pretty moot.

Here is an interesting read on the matter.

Just a weird topic especially with all this neo-nazism happening in the US government.

I am not saying it isn’t newsworthy at all of course. It is just the timing is suspect.

Why are we even talking about Hitler’s DNA? Out of all the news why this. We are seriously weird.

Pretty sure fascist already broke off the UK. While I will agree the US is ahead, it is everywhere already.

This is a worldwide problem unfortunately.

Corporations can and do fight for their users. Proton is not one of these companies. I think that says all we need to know about their commitments to their users. You are welcome to continue leading people to a business that have shown that they are not willing to do what is right because profit is their primary motivation.

Proton claimed there was no way to appeal, but Swiss law is not bound by Interpol. I think what it really amounts to is they are not going to protect their users. This is why you don’t pay for let alone use a corporation’s services unless you willing to give up your privacy.

Proton is not your friend, they have and will continue to betray their users. Do not trust them or any corporation that is not willing to fight for their users.

No, stop… buying all our tickets. Seriously, we are tired of creating shell companies to buy all our own tickets and then competing with other scalpers.

Sure they are going to stop something they profit from and partake in.

I was wondering what they planned on doing with these increasingly fast processors. Apparently, it will be used to spy on you while providing training data to their AI. Why the hell this is acceptable I don’t know. It reminds me of those bad actors who use to mine Bitcoin covertly on other people’s computers with compromised software or web pages.

The level of brain damage is real. When he speaks the intelligence literally drops in the room.
