They know it has. Think of this like when a porn studio uploads their own films to a torrent site, and then goes after people who download them.

Except, in this case, everyone involved are terrible human beings. So... while I will never cheer for Sony Music, I will happily root against all the AI/tech companies they go after for scraping their catalogues.

Short sighted for who? Executive compensation is tied to stock performance via options. If their actions boost the stock price in the short term, what do they care about the companies performance at a future date after they've cashed out?

We're currently in the extraction phase of our neoliberal economic system's lifecycle and it's only downhill from here.

Learn what? This was the intended outcome: layoffs without severance or unemployment.*

*Unemployment benefits aren't totally off the table due to the companies changing of job requirements, but that's going to depend on local laws and individual employee circumstances.

Anyone who's name is an anagram for The Reptile invalidates your entire premise...

Additionally, he's also probably had at least one of his former boytoy lover's killed and he's just generally an awful human being who's entire goal is immiserate everyone he doesn't intend on sharing his doomsday bunker with.

It was a better UI and user experience then Android by the time it launched....but by the time it launched the smartphone market had already exploded and the app developer marketplace had already matured into a profitable sector. There was no incentive to attract enough developers to build out a similar ecosystem on the late to the party Windows Phone

No, it's a way to say that Mint has become bloated and not a great experience.

I just switched to Fedora from Mint, and was impressed.

I recently switched my main Linux laptop to Fedora and I have to say, it's probably the most stable and clean distro I've ever used.

Even if you believe that, and trust the people running these scanning stations, synthetic images generated from biometric hashes are still a thing, such as with Masquerade.

You're looking at it wrong. This is a scheme to collect mass amounts of biometric data. What's the end goal? No idea, but I doubt it'll be to the benefit of mankind.

No, I'm a free speech absolutist when it comes to private citizens. Be they communists, Nazis, Democrats, trolls, assholes or furries, the government should have no role in regulating their speech outside of reasonable exceptions i.e. yelling fire in a crowded theater, threats of physical violence, etc.

My moral conviction on relative free speech absolutism ends at the articles of incorporation, or other nakedly profit driven speech e.g. market manipulation.

So if the trolls and ban evaders are acting on behalf of a company, or for profit driven interests, their speech should be regulated. If they're just assholes or trolls, that's a problem for the website and mod teams.

This isn't a problem that can be solved with a technical solution that isn't itself extremely dystopian in nature.

This is a problem that requires legislation and criminal liability, or genuine punitive civil liability that pierces the corporate legal shields.

Don't hold your breath for a serious solution to present itself.

Maneuverability is much less of a factor now as BVR engagements and stealth have taken over.

But, yeah, in general a pilot that isn't subject to physical constraints can absolutely out maneuver a human by a wide margin.

The future generation will resemble a Protoss Carrier sans the blimp appearance. Human controllers in 5th and 6th gen airframes who direct multiple AI wingman, or AI swarms.
