This is why free market systems work better than socialised systems. When you remove the socialism from a system and decentralised it as much as possible, you create a solution that benefits the many rather than one which benefits those who can I fluence the centralised control (or the controllers themselves).
This is why libertarians and a caps say government gets in the way of everything good: progress, happiness, innovation, and everything else.
While he was alive sure. Now... Ehhhh.... Tbh it depends on the metric at play but Android as an OS has them beat almost 4x over. Granted no one company has iPhone beat for total share, but from an OS android is more prolific than the phone's OS.
Good plan, but never underestimate the power of stupidity when the mind is ruled by fear. These judges are afraid, often because said cases have them committing serious crimes, so doing all they can to stop all actions by the administration, just to save their own skin.
One of the judge's going down is good, but there will always be someone else who thinks "I'm smarter than he was. I can get away with that."
The minute any negative right (free speech, free assembly, trade, privacy etc) is used to prohibit or infringe the rights of someone else, it is at that point a crime is committed. At that point, the person violating the rights of another is treating people as things rather than people.
Eg: if you speak out against some form of injustice, or say something politically incorrect like "pick a gender, you only get two", that's free speech.
If you say a person or group need to be attacked, deprived, or threaten them in some other way, you are no longer exercising free speech. You are committing an act of incitement, and usually it's incitement to violence.
I follow the rule of reciprocity. If someone does good to you, do good to them in kind, ideally more than you received in the first place. If someone ignores you, ignore them. If someone does ill by you, that makes them fair game to suffer an equal level of nemesis.
If none existed in the US, why did I know of at least one existing in Chicago back before Trump took office? I think Glenn greenwald reported it? It would not surprise me if there was at least one in every major city.
Good summary. The reality is that as much as we want the files put live, the risks that exist are not trivial. To my eye, all this saber rattling in Europe over Ukraine is a way to try to pressure the admin, effectively saying "if you release these, we start WWIII". We need to be patient for the coming end, and trust that the white hats are actually in control
The article points out that Russia doesn't need to drop a bomb on the UK. They just need to blow some up at high altitude to trigger an EMP. Such an attack would make Britain basically a medieval nation once more, as it would effectively fry the power grid and most of the systems (transportation, the Thames barrier, banking systems, etc).
There is a lot of stuff British people need electricity for, and the grid here, like in America, isn't robust enough to survive a pulse attack like that. And when it goes down, everything goes with it, effectively. Kier would be a fool to even let a single member of the army step foot in Ukraine for a war based purpose.
