(I commented here about numbers for coca-cola shares, but missed you referred to Apple shares, not cocoa-cola)

Aren’t both the owner and CEO’s personally responsible for the happenings/strategy inside the company? The law seems to be structured that way…

Actually holding anyone accountable is another matter it seems.

No no, they moved the proposed changes to the epstein files for putin to rubberstamp and keep safe.

They want names and data to at the very least publicly shame and bring fear to people who voted “against” the government.

I wouldn’t mind having an AI or “superintelligent” assistant under my own control … but when I do I don’t think it’s any company’s business what I do with it.

So, yeah, as in the old Microsoft days, let me buy one, perhaps even a pre-build box, at a reasonable price … but once it’s in my house the company loses all say or feedback over it and what I do with it.

Heck if there’s to be newer full x.0 versions out it seems reasonable to be paying for those again as well so the AI companies get a steady enough income…

It seems they really want to set the world on fire, if they can’t do it one way they’ll think of something else to piss everyone off.

If an enemy actually comes they will defend one another … but the suspicion lies in that only the US just goes meh, not interested.

On top of that, trump seems to reason to himself that he is being attacked by Iran, and therefore NATO (which is a defensive only alliance) is supposed to help, which it is not.

Trump attacked Iran… for dubious reasons worse than the Iraq debacle, so the allies who trump already spat in their faces have no interest getting pulled into his war whatsoever.
This is trump’s war on all fronts, not NATO’s, and does not come with a moral contract to let him use any other countries’ assets if they disagree.

The situation would change dramatically if Iran actually did attack a NATO member.

There was an (android) app to translate cat meows a few years ago … granted it was a bit frivolous, though they claimed underlying research.

The translation it produced of my cats meows into what they might want was plain low quality, the meows were easier to understand than the word soup produced. (Tying to get the cat to meow on command is a whole different factor)

I don’t have a source for this but I believe the first internet-pirated item was software, although “pirated” might not be the proper label for it… I vaguely recall an article where the “fathers” of the TCP protocol sent a new revision of some new tcp code across the globe to a 3rd party who did not own the rights to that code somewhere in the 1970s so world wide connections could be tested.

If this does not fit the piracy label then I would not be surprised if Tim Berners-Lee would have used/linked to some imagery or document he didn’t have rights for on his first build websites when testing “his” World Wide Web invention.

Brilliant ideas. I’d (re-)watch stuff like this throughout the year. Ofcourse I would hope for more than one off episodes.

The Muppet show already had a surgery room situation that worked, so translating that to a MASH one would be fine imo.

Do it … and lose 85% of the overseas bases, including spy-, radar- and sonar stations…

I smell a taco, again…

Theoretical next step, Libanon pollutes the lands south of the river all the way to the border with nuclear waste… What would bibi’s answer be then? Still claim wanting the land because of safety?

Spit your allies/friends in the face and see what you get …

I wouldn’t be surprised if trump is looking to use this for an eventual “out” … throw a tantrum that he’s not getting help so he’ll pull out of the gulf region completely, only do the bombings but leave the strait and it’s cargo issues as the unresolved mess they are.

Yeah most folks till seem to firmly grasp onto the idea that trump will happily and casually resign from his comfy seat…

He won’t.

(Let’s just ignore that if he does he’ll have a high chance of getting locked up, and he know it)

Yeah about that, he already “promised” the Islamic republican guard full immunity, you know those guys brutally slaughtering peaceful demonstrators…

He stopped 87 wars in a year, so figures starting one is no biggie. 😬

So uh isn’t the Islamic Republican Guard responsible for the extremely brutal response to the recent civillian protests?
And even a few days ago would enter hospitals to further injure and abuse said protesters now in hospital, also prevent doctors from treating them?

They get total immunity?

I am convinced he hopes something happens that sidelines the judges that he can’t use so he ca install a full court that gives projects 2025 and 2026 a smooth sailing…

Trump needs his personal army, separated from the justice and military apparatus, if he pays ice to satisfaction he has the material and manpower to fight off a growing rebellion…

There were various suspicious foreign phone calls in/leading up to his first presidency … in the end it was all ignored, I’d be surprised if this got treated differently now.
