He wanted to drag Romulans into war, which would mean thousands of them killed, including civilians.
He asks a former member of obsidian order, one he knows for sure that killed people in the past, he knows very well that is not a simple tailor, that’s why he asks him for help.
Sisko is involved in the process of convincing Romulans so that they get involved in the war.
Broken/buggy software usually is not developers/QA’s fault but management and clients.
Consulting want something that conforms exactly what is signed and as fast as possible, if there are later bugs that doesn’t invalidates what was agreed or new features take longer to introduce it means more money as maintenance/evolution contracts.
Clients often don’t see why they should pay extra and include extra time for better code. Also they prioritise stupid things like changing the font in a page over fixing a bug in the checkout page.
Usually the arguments I saw in favour of decriminalisation instead of legalisation are:
Taxes, nobody wants to pay taxes
The introduction of licenses, regulations, bureaucracy and any other burden that having a business or being an independent contractor requires.
The government knowing perfectly who is a sex worker in the case that it decides to ban it again and go against them.
I’m in favour of legalisation and proper regulations (I think in professional porn industry actors/actresses are required to be tested periodically), however I also worry about the point 3.
Decriminalise (the proper word) is to stop prosecuting people, it still illegal but not criminal charges would be presented to people breaking the law, maybe civil fines at most.
Basically, the system turns a blind eye on the topic.
Legalise is to change the laws to not only no longer to be a crime, but also recognises that is legal to do it. Usually it involves regulations on the topic.
Take alcohol for example, let’s imagine if you have a store that sells alcohol and the police pays you a visit.
Scenario where is illegal to sell alcohol: The police arrests you and you could face prison.
Same scenario but selling alcohol is decriminalised: The police ignores the alcohol.
Same scenario with being legal to sell alcohol: Police asks four your license, checks that the bottles came through the proper channels (no counterfeit and product of dudose procedence that can pose a health risk) and questions people about if you sell to minors.
People are usually in favour of decriminalising prostitution rather than legalisation cause they want to be left alone. Legalisation would make it like any other job, requiring a permit, pay taxes and probably a license, however it would bring the same protections as any other business (for example, a sex workers could call the police without fear in case is assaulted by a client).
The radio alarm clock, couldn’t find the specific year only to narrow towards the late 70s.
My flat, the building was built around the beginning of the 70s.
