The best case scenario is that a US company buys Element Pro. Then the EU can institute fines, fines, fines. EU barely creates, it stands at the finish line and extracts money from the winner.

I'm still impressed that the Teams web client can't edit a message with an emoji in it without messing up the keyboard controls and often corrupting the message and losing data. It's had this bug for years. It's literally a messaging app where you can't reliably send messages.

I never thought of the AI box experiment as an entirely theoretical thought exercise, but since we seem to have put LLMs on the internet as soon as we were the least bit capable, there never was a meaningful "box" in the first place.

Unlikely, every problematic photo can't become AI generated just because it exposes a CSAM enthusiast. Carney and his parties action speak for themselves, no one whose not into CSAM would try to legislate its collection.

I don't believe teams has e2ee at all?
In any case you typically don't need or want that in a work environment. Encryption between client and server is enough, as the org controls the server and wants to be able to view/monitor communications between its employees.

Any company that was using something else before teams came along also complains bitterly about teams - it's different and in many ways inferior.

I know several places that switched from slack to teams, they all universally hate teams.

It still has perfect clicks every time.

Censorship is a problem when you are not free to express an idea.

The form of the idea can be limited without it being censorship: for example, you can't protest with a bullhorn in the middle of the night.

Free speech doesn't mean everyone has to listen to you, it means the people who want to listen to you are able to. Youtube demonetizing a video is not censorship. Removing videos because they don't like the ideas in the videos is the worst kind of censorship, because they are trying to control you.

Yeah, the anti-hacking law is over-broad but makes "knowingly accesses" an important aspect:

If you didn't knowingly hack the computer, apparently it's not illegal (unless it's fraud or causes other damage or something).

It's not hard to make a computer that is unbeatable in Starcraft, because the computer can click perfectly every time. According to your link:

So yeah, that kind of clicking (and maybe perfect information, or maybe not) gives the computer a massive advantage, it doesn't even need a neural network to win.

Trump can't blackmail Carney, without Trump admitting his known (which is stupid) guilt, and Carney knows that. Either Trump outs everyone, or, everyone is effectively protected. Carney could easily clear an assumption of guilt, which I stated in the previous post, by strengthening cybersecurity and privacy to 11, including a revamping how children's data is handled. Why would an innocent person give themselves more access to children and children's data? Why would anyone want that? I would make it illegal to collect children's data, even accidentally, with substantial fines for the company, and jail time for the executives.

I don't think his hands are as tied as he thinks they are, and let's assume I'm talking out my ass, and have no grasp on economics. I honestly think we'll just disagree on that point too much.

The first point is still accurate, he's in very incriminating photos, and I think we need a full investigation on that. Association does not equate to guilt, but, some associations are extremely problematic. He weakened, or is trying to weaken cybersecurity standards, and privacy standards, which is precisely the wrong move if he wants to clear his name. He should be cranking the security and privacy dial to 11, well, fighting for greater transparency, and auditing of the government, and government staff. Even if we assume he's innocent, which I don't, he hasn't done anything to back up a claim of innocence. Canada should fight for and have the best, as in the absolute best, protections for data, and security on the planet. We should have the strongest possible laws protecting the collection of any data from a child, for any reason. He is trying to, or has, weakened that protection. The government talking about keeping kids safe, and knowing what your kids are up to, really falls flat, when Carney is or is going to make the problem significantly worse.

He claims to, and let's assume that's true. The best way to fight the idiot bully, make him bleed and back off. If Canada cuts all exports, how long could the US really survive? I don't know, but weeks, maybe a month? At some point Trump would have to back down, or there would be serious fallout. You can try to talk to a bully for a while, but at some point you need to hit back, and Carney refuses to do that.

False.

If he played the game better, he would be the bully in the room, not the sissy clothed pride coward. What he should have done was shut off exports to the US, kill them all unless the tariffs drop, and then watching the US burn and Trump backtrack. Canada is smaller than the US, sure, but, the US needs Canada, we have a remarkable bargaining chip, and he won't use it effectively.
