I can't even participate in these discussions.
I remember you being an authoritarian idiot during CV19. You shouldn't be participating in any discussions in your condition.
They don't even understand the fundamentals like RNA transcription or even larger concepts like herd immunity
Assholes always think they are the smartest person in the room and nobody knows what they know.
and yet they think they have a leg to stand on.
You have no credibility. Why should anyone care what you think?
The sheer amount of education you'd have to give them is insane.
Pure hubris.
But it's cute how they try to be scientific about it and then trip over the whole impiricism part.
The most venomous of idiots get big mad every time someone points out that scientists need to be skeptical and always lean on data, no matter how uncomfortable the implications. Is that why you decided to participate when you "can't even" ?
“If Dr. Walensky had said most vaccinated people do not carry virus, we would not be having this discussion,” John Moore, a virologist at Weill Cornell Medicine in New York, told the outlet.
Nobody is playing syntax games. She said it, she's a scientist, and the CDC retracted it a day later since it's such a ridiculous statement. Oh, and you still sound angry and it's impacting your ability to communicate with any clarity. Amusing.
Proton is $7 a month and offers so much more, but seems to have fairly slow adoption. Considering the market penetration of the Thunderbird email client, I don't see that they're offering anything that will get them more than a tiny sliver of the market.
I run a few companies, more than 950 people are working with me, I have a few system administrator, it is a serious matter. Eventually there are people in any company that have access and control that really allows them to do damage that is massive enough that the very survival of a company is in question. This immediately has an effect on all of the clients, all of the people working for the company, partners, families, infrastructure contractors, quite a few things really. This type of behavior really compromises what people think about IT professionals everywhere.
This is true. And this is why there are penalties. Some here believe it is the physical injury aspect only, when in fact the computer crime can have an impact on thousands, and their families, and their cities, and their customers.
The point still remains: computer crime sentencing is out of whack. This guy got sentenced - not necessarily will serve - ten years for a computer crime. No one was physically injured, though they claim a lot of damage, covered below. Miriam Yarimi caused three deaths - almost an entire family no longer with us - and she got considerably less. So are computer crimes way more harmful than killing someone?
So maybe a stern lecture would be sufficient enough?
As for crimes in which someone kills another, there is a whole laundry list. Which one is the one you are referring to?
A non-complete list has:
Involuntary Manslaughter
Manslaughter
Negligent homicide
Depraved indifference murder
Second Degree murder
First degree murder.
And an array of punishments as well. Everything from a few years to life to the death penalty. This is by design, because accidentally killing someone is different than torturing someone, then killing them and documenting your process. Sometimes accidentally killing someone won't even get a trial.
Provocative FP, but I think you're mostly wrong and lacking in the kind of insight that will lead towards any solution. Most obviously, the Democrats are not going to solve anything. I think we are actually in a situation where too much change has become a key problem, so controlling and even limiting the changes are crucial. I sort of hate to say it, but I think the Amish may have it right when they consider newfangled ideas carefully before adopting them. (The Amish religious stuff mostly seems bogus, however...)
As regards the monopoly problem, I think the best solution approach might be a progressive tax on profits where higher degrees of monopolization result in higher taxes on the associated profits. The "natural" path to higher retained earnings would then be for the monopolist to divide itself into honest competitors. Three metrics (plus your ideas) could be used to detect the monopoly: (1) Limited customer choice and too few meaningful options, (2) Inability of wannabe competitors to enter the monopoly niche, and (3) Lack of alternative employment options for people working in the niche. But "We can't get there from here." Certainly there are no politicians who are trying to lead in such a direction.
Returning to this story I think the actual key is in the deltas. Yes, Amazon does need engineers, but profit maximization calls for keeping ONLY the engineers who can produce the highest rates of profit increase. All less productive engineers are just slowing things down. The delusion that Amazon is now suffering from is an idea that AI (and related IT) can be used to replicate the work of the delta-maximizers all over the place.
The reality is different and I expect to be amused by the implosion--even though I will also probably suffer from some of the collateral damage.
Germany used to be like that too until not too long ago. Nowadays this kind of reckless driving can result in it being considered a murder by the judge - and murder automatically means a life sentence with at least 15 years before parole becomes possible. Not always, unfortunately, but it happens and I hope it will happen more and more in the future.
I'm drifting off topic here, but I'm curious. In the US, there is a marked disparity in sentences depending on sex and "race". Does any such problem exist in Germany? (here women get the least, and African origin males get the most)
