I'm not sure United States v. Verdugo-Urquidez aapplies like you think it does. If that were teh case, any foreign corporation without a physical/substantial presence do not have to comply with US law even if tehy offer services in the US, or foreign banks comply with US reporting laws on US citizens.
United States v. Verdugo-Urquidez was about a search and seizure of a non-US citizen in a foreign country. Teh question is does offering services in the US via teh web and charging for tehm establish enough of a presence to be afforded Constitutional protection?
Corporations with no physical presence here to NOT have to comply with US law, moron. Of course, the US government has a bit more reach than most, so not complying could mean facing lockouts from the global financial systems. You think I give a rat's ass that my website isn't compliant with EU privacy laws even though an EU citizen can reach it?

On average, movie studios take about 55% to 60% of domestic ticket revenue, while theaters keep the remaining 40% to 45%. The bigger the movie is anticipated to be, or for the big franchise-films, the studio can demand up to 80% of the ticket sale. For Indie-style films, they may have to settle for 30%.
So, I guess my question is answered.. No, you idiots do not know what the split is. You'd all prefer to be conspiracy-theory assholes.

That is absolute and utter bullshit. It MIGHT be the case if DeepSeek had offices and/or facilities in the US. It does NOT. Merely offering services in the US doesn't get you anything. You clearly haven't got a clue what the fuck you are talking about.
United States v. Verdugo-Urquidez establishes that foreign citizens and corporations outside the sovereign territory of the United States do not possess rights under major provisions of the U.S. Constitution. Constitutional rights typically require a physical/substantial presence within the United States or its sovereign sphere.
Why can't you spell "the"? You fucked it up every single time.

1st Amendment grounds? What the fuck are you smoking? DeepSeek is a Chinese company. It doesn't get ANY of the protections of the US Constitution, you clown. It's a foreign entity.

You're retarded. The bar is already beyond what anybody without billions of dollars at their disposal could hope to accomplish. Do you have any idea how much processing power is required to train a 1T parameter model or make it available for customers?

They are just one acquisition away from turning evil, without regulation you have no guarantees what so ever.
And regulation solves that? Weird.. The Banking industry is heavily regulated.. You remember 2008?
In fact you don't even know that these services do behind closed doors since they do not have to even disclose it.
Now I know you're a fucktard. DuckDuckGo goes through all the trouble of having an independent auditor go through their system and you can't be bothered to type "DuckDuckGo audit" in Google (or DuckDuckGo)
Fact is, you just want to bitch. You're throwing out shit that has NOT happened (acquisition) as some sort of justification for your opinion. Hell of a lot easier to simply say "I'm a retard who thinks government works in my interest & is honest about what they do. I'll make up scenarios that have not happened so I can claim the AUDITED services are just as bad."
How about "Fuck off?" There's no reasoning with you idiots. If you're gonna use fantasy as a justification.... We cannot speak. I live in the word of "facts".

What a crock of shit. There have been several plans (Yucca Mountain for one) and every goddamn time some tree-hugging fuckers manage to derail it.
The real shame is there's a fuckton of energy left in that waste.. Much of it could be consumed to make power with the right kind of reactor.. but no....
No.. the fact that it hasn't been dealt with isn't the government's fault, mostly. It's the retards that would rather block every plan to permanently store it somewhere "safe" and so we're left with this shit sitting out in the open for 40-50 years..
The leftists in this country are so fucking hypocritical.. I'm watching it play out in real time with solar power. Every fucking plan to build panel arrays in my area is opposed by screaming lefties who don't want that shit anywhere near them. They don't even want to SEE it. Listened to these cunts demand renewables for decades and now they oppose solar farms, windmills (bird-kills), new hydro dams (the fish!), solar concentrators (near Vegas), and even plans to build geothermal plants out near the Salton Sea (some fucking desert tortoise or something). The last one would also produce enormous volumes of Lithium.. and the liberals oppose it.. I don't know how CA ever managed to get their battery storage online.. I'm sure the liberals were freaking out about that too..
