Costs rising more than 3% a year. Since it’s California I’d imagine the insurance is going up much faster than 3% of total ownership costs. If small landlords cannot stay in the black because they can’t afford the insurance with capped rent increases they will sell to the entities that can afford to self-insure. Corporations like BlackRock

I don’t use it because Calyx is “good enough” and I make a lot of my decisions about which projects to use based on the community associated with them. Graphene has a toxic as fuck community, Calyx is very carebear.

I thought we weren’t supposed to kink shame. Maybe /u/Raglesnarf is really into degradation and being dominated. Full on ball-busting, perhaps?

No vassals, you are landed gentry. You own your machine now.

Despite being named NYU, it is in fact a private university so yeah, no 1A protection there.

nobody has talked about it for years

March 2024: https://www.9news.com/article/news/investigations/police-use-colorado-dmv-facial-recognition-program/73-0c2d862c-a33c-4598-bc0a-e0d1a8ee287f

There are rumblings here in CO about curtailing law enforcement’s use of this database. I personally would like to have subpoena protection of the database, so at least it has to go before a judge before the cops just rifle through everyone’s pictures.

This is especially concerning given that citizens are recently being required to update their ID to a “Real ID,” which means more people than ever before are giving away the rights to their own face.

lol, no. Real ID is just a set of requirements the federal govt. has implemented to make sure state IDs are held to the same standard as passports re: data integrity and information presented. That’s all. Not mark of the beast, not something nefarious to track you more than your old state-issued DL did in the past. As far as “recently”? Nope, states have had 20 years.

lol, PItbull “won” the air travel top spot last year and you don’t hear shit from him about being tracked.

It’s fun to watch airplanes. Watching them via radio is also fun. The data has been public since the FAA started issuing tail numbers and it’s never really been an issue before.

What’s really fucked up is that these jets currently operate under Part 91, just like grandpa’s Cessna. Quite unregulated when it comes to how long the pilots can fly and the taxes are lower than Part 135 which is where I believe these private jets should operate. IMO a private plane should be owner operated, allowing the individual to determine safety limits. Part 135 regulates quite a bit more, including pilot rest periods and allowed weather conditions. We already regulate these billionaire’s car drivers more stringently than a regular driver, why not the air travel too?

This isn’t a stand alone bill, it’s just an amendment in the FAA re-authorization bill. They have to pass this bill every 5 years to keep air traffic going.

like /u/toiletobserver memed in this thread, “Challenge Accepted”. All the airplanes are still going to have to broadcast ID through ADS-B. They are going to shuffle the N-numbers around but I’m sure we’re going to have the finest geeks on the case deciphering who is who in the air based on where people end up on the ground.

What would be neat is if ScarJo sues and wins, could the Jane Doe voice actor then hit ScarJo with an antitrust lawsuit? I mean, if the poor lady can’t get work because the market for “that voice” is dominated by one actor: then what?

This isn’t a debate. Gloves are off.

So the US government wants to curtail the use of an open source architecture that is published by a Swiss organization which isn’t controlled by any government.

Talk about tilting at windmills. What the fuck could they possibly do? Sanction RISC-V International? ONO!

“Eighteen to eighty; Sick, lame, or lazy.”

None of that will happen. They will throw you in AdSeg and let you stew in your own filth for the duration.

Either that or your celly will kick your ass for being a pig.

I guess if your mom was imprisoned with you she could clean up after you.

Our jails and prisons are fucked up but OP made some VERY outlandish claims

Yeah, that paper that famously pointed out that county corrections inmates are required to maintain the cleanliness of their living space.

That’s a strawman argument. She wasn’t tortured to make her work, she was tortured by a sadist.

You have an outlandish view of county jail in the US. None of that shit happens.

I think that they are trying to use “Medicaid fraud” as a backdoor to access medical records. I mean, the AG is specifically saying otherwise but that’s the loophole they will use to get these records.
