Or then he still believes putting tariffs on another country means that country has to pay you money.

Should I be surprised that the party of anti-intellectualism isn't well represented among intellectuals?

Have you stopped creating CSAM?

Maybe we would if you hadn't kept those climate change reports secret for so long.

Yes, we build infrastructure to last, why tear down something that works to replace it with something that doesn't?

You won't need a cart because you can't afford enough to need one.

In the long run, being proactive is always cheaper than being reactive, but it's a constant on the books. (Also, is money that can't be given to the wealthy through tax cuts)

Would the government admit that even if it was?

Not this sketch, but this group is also the reason why bringing eels on board hovercraft is prohibited.

The purpose of a library is not to be the repository of all human knowledge, it is to provide the material its users want/need. A university library will have a different catalogue than a small town local library. If the library doesn't have enough copies of something that is popular, they will likely try to get more copies of that. Conversely if some book is stocked in large amounts but never borrowed, they will consider reducing the number they have.

My intent is not to defend this kind of action, I'm curious about your opinion on this. When you read a book, changes happen in your brain, concepts get linked together, new wires are formed. The book is thus "stored" in your brain. Is this a violation of the owner's IP? The contents of the book are not stored in any retrievable way, I can ask you to reproduce the book, you may get it close, but not perfect, the AI would be the same. Is a one-way hash of a book a violation of the owner's IP?

Where did I say it was a 1:1 ratio? If speculative value can be used to secure real money that then can be used to secure more speculative value, etc. It doesn't seem that imaginary anymore.

Yup, that's the kicker. Being profitable is not enough, even increasing the revenue each quarter isn't enough, it has to increase by this arbitrarily set number or we will liquidate the company.

It's not imaginary if it can be used as collateral for a loan.

I'm not disputing that, I'm disputing the "from the inside out" part.

If you make a post, and someone can read it and come to the conclusion they should not vote for the Democratic party, you are working for the Fascists whether you intend to or not.

That's not how EM radiation works, even if it wasn't abandoned since 1989.

Exactly! BOTH SIDES! Vote third party, let the Fascists take over completely!

What would Microsoft gain from that? You wouldn't even need to buy a new Windows license as long as you disconnect the old device from the license.

Enforcing the licence agreement on number of devices the license is valid for?

Google has detected a login from a device we don't recognize.

Every part in your computer has a manufacturer serial number or code embedded in them, the combination of which make a globally unique fingerprint for your device. A device ID you can't turn off, if you will.

# of transactions banks process has gone up significantly, yet the wages of the employees have not. Isn't that how you defined "evil automation"? The benefits of the automation bypasses the workers it replaced completely.
