That’s called a subpeona, Mr. Trump.

Also, the opposite is true. Israel is a big threat to Iran. Would Iran have been justified in bombing Israel first?

I think prisons have to be reformed in almost every country, including my own (Canada). Prison should fill one or both of these roles:

1. Isolate criminals from society,
2. Limit freedom as a deterrent for crime. Generally agree that imprisoned people should have the opportunity to rehabilitate.

My point that i want to make is that the punishment should not exceed simply limiting freedom. Prison should protect prisoners from violence. Prison should allow prisoners to live fulfilling lives while there in prison. Prison rape should not be a fact of life in prison. Prison should not dehumanise prisoners. Prison should guard all rights of prisoners (apart from freedom of movement). Prisoners can’t be forced to do work or even follow a routine. Etc.

Unfortanutely, it seems things are so fucked up that not many have time to seriously fight for prisoner’s rights (including me).

I assume the Saudi plant will be staffed with grossly underpaid labourers.

Except that he has no executive power over those people.

What do you dislike about the AI act?

Interesting idea to run a low-bandwidth link. It would keep us connected, but posts from disconnected instances would arrive late, depending on how much the traffic (posts between disconnected instances) exceeds available bandwidth.

It’s interesting to explore this more. We could, for example, prioritize specific types of posts, users, or instances to make those faster.

There is a Bloomberg opinion piece (https://archive.ph/JKT85) that stated argues that China is so-called trade wars proof. TLDR: almost no day-to-day goods are imported from the US. The imports from the US are mainly things like cars, phones, etc. That is, tariffs will have a very small effect on the lower and middle classes in China. Compare this to the situation in the US: China is the main source for cheap items at Walmart, Amazon, etc. Tariffs can absolutely devestate the lower classes in the US.

So, it seems that China can easily win the attrition war against the US.

I hate myself for laughing at that

Thats the thing. Rounding up people from the street will not catch any criminals (legally speaking), by definition: if they committed a crime, and a judge deemed them guilty, they would be in jail or they would be fugitives. In either case, they are not unknowns, and authorities must’ve already knew about them. Getting people randomly off the street, you cannot, legally speaking, be catching criminals.
