Ah, I see. Thank you. TIL!

I assume this will come from liability insurance, in which case the company’s premiums will go way up.

What would that mean for Skydance?

I got that, but the explanation of the distinction in meaning leaves much to be desired.

What?

Which makes it all the more crazy that ICE feels that it needs additional unaccountability beyond what already covers cops for so much.

If information wants to be free, and if buying not equaling owning means that piracy isn’t theft, then art doesn’t belong to artists anyway. Additionally, it’s facile to be too black-and-white about crime; criminals are still humans and being shit in one aspect of their lives doesn’t necessitate that we act as if they were shit in EVERY aspect of their lives. Even criminals still bleed when pricked and laugh when tickled, etc. If we reject the possibility of redemption/rehabilitation, then we might as well execute all criminals. Now, that’s not to say that we should simply forgive every criminal. But rehabilitation only works when it focuses on reminding the criminal of how they can still be useful to society.

Motherfucker the Arabs invented algebra.

It seems to me that ICE would be far better off conducting its business in such a way as to not be worried about being publicly identifiable. Regular police officers are able to do their duties without masks and with the requirement to display their badges, and I dare ICE to claim that regular police don’t do work as dangerous as ICE.

Obviously undercover work is the exception, but when the entirety of ICE goes around masked, they’d be fools not to expect an overcorrection.

Searching by completion status should be helpful! Thanks!

I’m starting to think that maybe Elon DIDN’T turn off Ukraine’s access the other day and merely said he did, in the same way the Russians say “the Ukrainians didn’t blow up that depot; a soldier was smoking and accidentally started a fire”.

What’s your recommended alternative?

Ironic, given that DARPA originally envisaged the Internet specifically as a decentralized comms network which would be resilient against these kinds of strikes. But I suppose it’s different in a dictatorship which needs central control.
