SCOTUS gets into it in their opinions on Chartrie, you should check it out. They wrestle with the balance there of 4th amendment protections and mass surveillance. It's evolving and generally courts are moving to not allowing mass sur

It would be trivial though to do the same thing for sports. Create the market, contracts on either side.... How is Kalshi paid today? They take a cut of each transaction, just like the bookmaker does. Neither cares who wins or loses Turn

SCOTUS has (sort of) done this in the recent Chatrie case. https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25pdf/25-112_0am4.pdf It's obviously different in that Chatrie was about google location data, and there actual

But, this decision didn't take those powers from Congress. It took those powers from federal agencies. Congress empowers the agencies, yes. But, Congress also deferred any technical decisioning to the agencies. Those agencies are f

Today it is. While not the existential threat to the US that communism/China are or perceived to be, Japan was very much a threat to the US in the 80s/90s. All kinds of concerns not just about the car market but manufacturing in

I understand and generally agree with your sentiment but people are safer. Violent crime is down substantially since 2001 and even more since 1990s. https://www.statista.com/statistics/191219/reported-violent-...

Off the top of my head.... -How was the labor sourced for those services? -Child Labor, illegal immigrant labor? -What are the working conditions for the labor?, is it sweatshop -what inputs go into the goods/services? -what do they do

You can look at it like this... They jury was concerned about the speech by the think tank. They don't want anyone else to have to suffer through it. The plaintiff though didn't have actual monetary damages from it, but you and

So, I think you are correct. The jury messed up, wasn't explained to properly, etc. There are thresholds on how much punitive damages can be awarded and they are some multiple of the other damages...this one is more than that. The re

They can be fired but if so the school is still on the hook for paying out the rest of their contract....so, maybe easy to do but painful financially. Football coach but the same principles apply: https://www.texastribune.org&#x2

And it's not like it hasnt been known for a long time how dangerous silica can be. I worked in a chemical manufacturing plant as an engineering intern in the 80s, at a plant that made marine coatings. One of the products contained si

I am only half serious about that....should have pointed that out. Interesting links though. Correct that not everyone with income is required to file, though they should. I did not know the income level was that high though, would have g

I am curious what you think could happen. I did a lot of looking after all the allegations and all the lawsuits. It is remarkably secure today, all the lawsuis that have been filed, etc. and nothing was found. Where do you think the vulne

There is a lot of things wrong with this but I have said that in order to get your tax refund you have to show proof you registered to vote. I'd like to say proof that you voted but that may be a step too far... Agree, it should be eas

One of the interesting by products of all of this is that elections are getting less secure instead of more secure. After all these allegations came out and if you dug into how elections are run, they are pretty secure - not perfect of cou

I have the same issue and just now found it was because of Private Relay. I did not connect the fact that I had no issues accessing archive.is when I had a VPN on - which disables Private Relay. Since they got a location, not my location

Ohhhh, now that is interesting. I think I'd say you don't have an expectation of privacy when you park your car on a public street, people can look into the windows and if they are tinted then using a device to "see" th

It has been a bit but I believe you can log in to Music and Messages with a separate appleid. I believe you have to login to the app store though with the ID assigned to the machine. I am not 100% sure that is still the case though. So, I

Not the poster you asked. But, a lesson we continue to ignore is that there are other options to tame inflation besides raising interest rates. The problem is the option isn’t politically expedient so Congress just raises its hands in mock

The issue is under what authority does the government have to put such a ban in place. There isn't one today. The article discusses some attempts to work around that issue, all of which are problematic. The article does not mention i

Yes, it is an ad. The only distinction is the boosted "ad" starts life as an organic post instead of a created ad. Yes, Apple modified the status quo...they didn't enforce this for Meta until recently - Twitter, TikTok et al

Some updated figures through 2021 Solar = 2.8% Wind = 9.2% Total renewables = 20.1%, that includes hydro which may not be as renewable as we thought. Just had this discussion but relative to why not re-invest in nuclear so we looked up the
