Digital devices will always be a potential distraction, even with just simple calling and messaging. What amazes me most though, is how far we'll stretch to avoid regulating the actual actors causing the most harm (social media).
Unfortunately, Trump's walls don't contain pollution, and industries use that local lack of regulation to lobby other governments, as in, "look, we can do that in the US, why can't we do it here?"
PPL minimum in Canada is 45 flight hours and it's common for students to solo in 10. "Full license" also doesn't really mean anything. There's a recreational pilot permit, private pilot license, and commercial pilot license, with various ratings/endorsements among those.
An Argentinian PPL is likely different, given the article's mention of the pilot needing to still build time with an instructor. Though, it could've been a rental checkout of some sort.
It seems many didn't even read the quoted part of the article. The $3 million payment is to one person. Yes, it's pennies to the giant companies, but this could open the door to thousands of similar lawsuits, quickly turning that cost into not just pennies.
Those second and third backups can really come in handy if something on the host blows up.
I've got my main PBS backups on an internal array on the host, secondary backups to an external HDD plugged into the host, then a third separate node (ThinkCentre mini-pc) backing up to a pair of HDDs I trade out monthly for an offsite copy.
I think it's important to consider not backing up media, etc that you can relatively easily re-obtain. Makes the storage requirements for redundant backups a fair bit more palatable.
Or perhaps ban prediction markets altogether? The existence of them can preclude events, and is especially dangerous when such markets are in any way violent.
Is this not about the magazine refusing to publish Palantir's response to the initial article, which is part of Swiss law? Palantir is shit, but let's maybe get the headline right.
Palantir’s lawsuit, filed in January, is not seeking damages or making libel claims against Republik, but instead alleges that the company was not given sufficient right to reply under Swiss media law.
It's called anti-circumvention law and is typically forced into trade agreements by America to allow corporations to enforce IP protection in foreign countries.
Cory Doctorow's recent talk on it was very informative and he notes how eliminating those laws can be a way for countries to eed dependance on US tech.
