He’s sticking it to the libs for his dear leader

teaching them how to interpret social interactions in the context of socio-political history seems like teaching them what to think, rather than how to think.

Right, because socio-political history is clearly not an important context for the real life situations that people experience.

Also, nice job preemptively dismissing those who disagree with you.

It is not, because the issue is whether police CAN compel someone to give their password.

From the article:

When [Valdez] was arrested, the police found a cell phone in his pocket and obtained a search warrant for its contents. However they were unable to crack the password and Valdez refused to provide it when asked. The police were never able to search the phone.

Further down, italics added by me to emojis the important bit.

He was convicted in the jury trial, which was reversed by the court of appeals that agreed Valdez had a right under the Fifth Amendment to refuse to provide his passcode, and that the state violated that right when it used his refusal against him at trial.

Lastly, I want to add one important distinction. Fingerprints are physical characteristics, while passwords are personal information. Fingerprints are distinct from passwords in that you have fingerprints, but know a password. You can only get one of them off a dead guy.

From the article:

The answer lies in the power imbalance between Spotify and its music suppliers, namely the major record labels that control most of the music streamed on Spotify.

Spotify licenses most of the music it streams from three companies: Universal Music Group, Sony Music Entertainment, and Warner Music Group, also known as The Big Three.

Together, The Big Three hold a 70% share of the music recording industry and a 60% share of the music publishing industry, forming a sort of unholy monopoly over the music industry.

…

The difference between having or not having The Big Three’s music catalog is a life-or-death situation for Spotify.

This gives The Big Three a lot of leverage over Spotify and forces it to pay them nearly 70 cents of every dollar it makes, leaving little room for profits.

That’s because there’s actually more to the story than a headline spouting the obvious. The real news is about the U.S.-China Business Council event today that Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen will be attending. But that headline doesn’t grab as much attention.

This is just good advice in general.

Dude just likes the attention

Honestly, that was pretty damn clever. What’s the opposite of blocking, I would be happy to subscribe to your posts.

They can take two seconds to scroll down to see the inevitable comment that shares an archive link. Or they can look up how to circumvent paywalls themselves using readily available information that’s been around for over a decade.

Sorry for the irrational rant. To me, these paywall complaints are comparable to “old man yells at cloud.”

After all, the only winning move is not to play.

It writes code in the same sense that it writes sentences. Sure, it could look normal with functional syntax. But whether or not it functions is a different matter. People get these AI to write convincing nonsense all the time.

It’s a great tool to help you get ideas, but it’s not a substitute for an actual thinking individual. Yet.

My apologies, I didn’t mean for that to be rude. I just got annoyed by all the posts complaining about a paywall, they add nothing to the discussion.

Archive.ph gets around that. Here’s the archived link.

Providing a solution is more helpful than pointing out a problem.

Archive.ph is your way to get around that.

Here’s the article

I don’t want to go to work. Period.

They can dislike one option to the point where they’d rather choose a different option they also dislike. The lesser of evils.

Do you know the only reason you can ignore the gravity of the message “Don’t let the fascists ruin democracy”?

It’s because you actually support the fascist.

Also, I do wish to give you credit for something, you encouraged me to figure out how to block users on here.

Goodbye!

Yeah, and it’s attitudes like this that let fascism win. Stop trying to tear down a solution if you don’t have anything better .

They’ve actually done quite a decent amount of stuff. The fact that you’re willfully ignoring it just shows your true colors. What’s the point in continuing discussion with you if you’re going to keep acting in bad faith?
