Businesses are mostly concerned with the short term.

Is it legal for a service to be called private when it is programmatically shared with law enforcement?

Wow. Thank you for a well reasoned response. I do consider war and loss of life on a different level of seriousness versus lack of reporting. Perhaps this is a contributing factor to why some countries lack a free press.

These are some of the communities I was and still am subscribed to: World News, World [email protected], [email protected], Global [email protected], News, United States | News & Politics@midwest. I am trying my best to avoid giving reddit any personal traffic.

Because I’m tied up installing a new operating system, with lots of major headaches. I’m just taking a break from it.

Gonna need a new piece of software which blocks unwanted microphone surveillance.

It’s interesting to think of the desire to avoid Universal Basic Income in the context of Trump’s recent outburst about communism. Raimando was a democrat, not a republican. There are times when the parties sound too much the same.

Could be a motive to disallow the sale of cannabis seeds.

How many words do you require? I wrote, “There’s no climate change.” The Trump admin is well known for considering climate change a hoax. However, this story is what I had in mind when I wrote that sentence, I’m pretty sure it was a Lemmy.world link from the same day, although I do get text-based news elsewhere.

I also wrote, “Renewable energy plants are too expensive!” Note the exclamation point"!". I often use it instead of a smiley or a sarcasm mark. Sarcasm doesn’t really apply to a truthful observation, such as “I wish it was sarcasm,” and I’m often in a state of indecision in such cases. But perhaps my posting history would explain better? I’m not sure what 35 square miles of photovoltaics would cost, I seem to recall “billions” of dollars being mentioned. What is the cost of some natural gas turbines in comparison?

Do you suppose if and when Democrats take back power from Republicans, these natural-gas turbines can be legally shut down and renewable-energy plants mandated? Will they be allowed to continue operations instead? Do you suppose that the powers that be will just extract every last barrel of crude they can extract and turn it into CO2?

There’s no climate change. Renewable energy plants are too expensive!

Seems kinda like a pecking order. Target the young ones. And by prohibiting kids, you can ID everyone.

Gonna need a basic income so that freed-up worker can focus.

Look at the good side, Theil is proving religion is by and for humans, some of which consider themselves better than other humans.

My limited understanding of the history was that during the patent medicine era, medicines had proprietary formulas and varying compositions. For example, many formulas had cannabis extract, others contained opium. The initial regulations therefore were done for medical purposes of drug purity. Edited to add, it wouldn’t surprise me if the overuse of opium in the patent medicine era led directly to judging the medical usefulness of these drugs, although it’s just a guess.

While it’s just a guess, pharmaceutical lobbying is likely why. None of that happened before the FDA was created sometime in the early 1900s.

Right now we’re in the political stages of considering the regulating of internet access to minors, the addictiveness of social media is not regulated.

And if a pharmaceutical or drug has addictive properties with no medical uses, the government outlaws it by scheduling it as having abuse potential. Seems like a big double standard.

Find your spines, and let the US citizenry know where you stand.

Building codes should probably include Faraday-cage type shielding.

In the case of trash collection, the fine has been put in place by the trash-collection corporations. How that specifically may analogize to household-chore robots: I’m not sure. There are possibilities, but picking one among many and saying it will certainly be that one seems likely to be like gambling. Perhaps the robotic company requires you to sign an end-user agreement with lots of fine-print legalese.

I’m making what is called an analogy.

What reason would the governments have …?

The motive is money, but I didn’t say anything about governments, that was your interpretation, and I’ll admit it is a possibility. These robots are said to be AI, and I’d be very surprised if they don’t also have wireless communications of some kind, but to whom and whether those communications can be hacked are all unknowns.
