  • Trump demands 25% tariff on any iPhone not made in the US

    tundraboytundraboy
    I don't believe the constitution allows anyone to level a tariff on one company alone (unless it happens to be a monopoly).  Satan is supposed to be devilishly cunning and smart.  American Satan, on the other hand, is incredibly ignorant and stupid.  When all this is over and he has gone back to the nether world, I hope there are enough pieces left lying around to fix the country.  I fear there won't be.

  • The future of internet liability is uncertain as congress targets Section 230

    I don't know how you have formed your ideas about this but you still have it completely backwards. Repealing Section 230 isn't going to stop, to use your word, "curation" of content by FB and others, it's just going to mean that they delete a lot of content that they now leave up. Individual users would still be "on the hook for their own posts," but anything the "curators" deem to put them on the hook as well, like false and defamatory posts from political operatives, will be removed. Without Section 230 a lot of individual "voices" are going to be muted, but the so called "curators" aren't going to be muted.
    Yes the curators won't be muted.  But now they will be legally responsible for the information that they put on their sites.  Just like any publisher. Because if you are curating a site, then you are a de facto publisher.

    That's all that repeal advocates want.  You should be legally answerable for what you allow to be printed on your newspaper, broadcasted on your TV network, displayed on your highway billboard, and now, posted on your website.

    Seriously, what is wrong or bad about that?

    They’re going to be surprised when a lot of sites, likely including AI, just turn comments off due to liability concerns. Most of the web will just go silent. 
    So there's nowhere for people to post blatant, malicious lies on the web anymore?  I do not think of that as a bad thing.

  • Apple robots are coming - what the rumor mill thinks is coming, and when

    Apple also didn't have a core competency in chip design.  Until they did.

    Apple trying to develop something outside of their core competency area where other companies already have a substantial lead. What could possibly go wrong with the AppleCarRobot project 
    That's exactly what the cell phone makers said about the iPhone.
