Not to mention the law is already slanted heavily in their favor. All a cop has to do to literally get away with murder is say, "I feared for my life", case closed, all charges dropped. Evidence? it's easy enough to produce with the blue wall of silence and fraternal order of police.
Saying "he grabbed my Taser" is enough. A mistrial was declared for the public execution of Walter Scott by killer cop Michael Slager *despite* video evidence that Scott was running away, quite slowly, when Slager shot him 8 times in the back AND PLANTED HIS TASER next to Scott's body

I'd say there's a very slim chance of this happening. Intel's SGX certainly *sounds* more secure but require changes to source code which could get very, very expensive so unlikely to be implemented in most cases for existing setups.
Make $196m illegally. Pay $88m fine. That's $88m profit. What's the incentive to stop doing these things again?
About 25 years ago, I moved from one city to another in search of work and continued to collect unemployment insurance for about 3 months longer than I was entitled while I got my feet under me - my first and only ever violation and I've never been on unemployment or welfare since. About 2 years later, the gubmint caught up with me. First was full repayment, then a fine assessed at FIVE times the gross amount I "stole" AND a stipulation that any unemployment payments I were to receive in the next 3 years would be reduced by 25%.
Trump can't be president unless he sells off all of his businesses and cuts all ties with foreign powers. Both of those cases violate the constitution.
You learn nothing about Apple by reading their "statements". The real information comes from the rumors. It is an open secret that Apple is the real power behind Faraday Future, which is developing self-driving electric cars.
One thing we have learned from reading Apple's "statements" is that they have a LOT of cash - which makes the recent kerfluffle about Faraday Future halting construction due to lack of funds puzzling if Apple is backing them.

Quite true. More than a few of the sysadmins I know are outdoorsy types in good shape and a couple are really big fella. The one I know who's most like Prugar is 6-2, 250 lbs. He may not be a streetfighter but he's far from the 1st person you'd think of trying to push around - although you're welcome to try.
"Newly-released documents expose more explicitly the details of IBM’s pivotal role in the Holocaust — all six phases: identification, expulsion from society, confiscation, ghettoization, deportation, and even extermination. Moreover, the documents portray with crystal clarity the personal involvement and micro-management of IBM president Thomas J. Watson in the company’s co-planning and co-organizing of Hitler’s campaign to destroy the Jews"
IBM’s twelve-year alliance with the Third Reich was first revealed in my book IBM and the Holocaust, published simultaneously in 40 countries in February 2001. It was based on some 20,000 documents drawn from archives in seven countries. IBM never denied any of the information in the book; and despite thousands of media and communal requests, as well as published articles, the company has remained silent"
"The punch cards, machinery, training, servicing, and special project work, such as population census and identification, was managed directly by IBM headquarters in New York, and later through its subsidiaries in Germany, known as Deutsche Hollerith-Maschinen Gesellschaft (DEHOMAG), Poland, Holland, France, Switzerland, and other European countries. Among the punch cards published are two for the SS, including one for the SS Rassenamt, or Race Office, which specialized in racial selections and coordinated with many other Reich offices. A third card was custom-crafted by IBM for Richard Korherr, a top Nazi statistician and expert in Jewish demographics who reported directly to Reichsführer Heinrich Himmler and who also worked with Adolf Eichmann. Himmler and Eichmann were architects of the extermination phase of the Holocaust. All three punch cards bear the proud indicia of IBM’s German subsidiary, DEHOMAG. They illustrate the nature of the end users who relied upon IBM’s information technology"
"Such political trolling really shouldn't even be dignified with a response, in general" It's hardly trolling when these & other companies exert tremendous political influence and some have been complicit with government surveillance & overreach. Let's not forget that many companies do the work of writing the actual legislation that gets passed. As such, they should be subject to scrutiny as much as any member of Congress.
I think much of the modern radicalization of Islam is an outgrowth of interference from the West & the Soviets. Iran in the 60s & 70s didn't look that much different from Europe at the time. Dresses above the knee, bare legs, Western hairstyles were hardly uncommon.
Similarly, male & female Egyptians wore about as much to the beach in the 50s & 60s as did Californians & Floridians
" It is their job, their purpose, to spread Islam and the Sharia law to every corner of the globe" that certainly sounds ominous. But then one should take a look at the history of the spread of Christianity. And the actions of America through its foreign policy & military. Or the actions of the colonial nations, Britain, France, Spain, Portugal, etc.
"the top quintile will pay plenty of additional tax even if rates stay the same"
I wouldn't bet on that. Greed knows no boundaries and I'm convinced the wealthy will find ways to pay as little as possible no matter how much they make.
"Musk's cult of personality - and the worship of tech "visionaries" in general - is just fucking pathetic"
Have you seen who's going to be handed control of the US Military in 2 months time? I'll take Musk over Trump any fucking weekday and twice on weekends.
"Trump was crying like a 2 year old about everything (CROOKED, RIGGED, WAHH) was so unfair"
Check out his tweets from the night Obama beat Romney. Trump was calling for a march on Washington, to overturn the election. I particularly like the one where he calls the electoral college "a disaster for democracy"

Trump doesn't care about the rules
As opposed to worksexuality.
Those gender-neutral washrooms will be put to good use
Good. The quicker Trump fucks up irrecoverably, the quicker he gets replaced. Won't be long now.
Problem is his immediate replacement is Mike Fucking Pence. The cure may be worse than the disease.
It's almost as bad of a conspiracy theory as the US Govt claiming the Russians were behind the Podesta leaks. Just make up evidence!
Any nutbar who would like to go to Russia to "self investigate" the Kremlin at gunpoint has my full support
The son of Trump's likely National Security Advisor is one of those gullible simpletons

Apple may have an agreement with FF, or may be in investor but I think it's a stretch that they are the majority funder
I'm afraid of their translucent model: I couldn't yank-off on the way to work.
That's not the kind of "self-driving" they're interested in
With apple only service centers even for tires and oil changes.
They are electric cars. That don't have oil.
Self-driving doesn't mean pure elecric. Nothing in Apple's statement excludes ICEs or hybrids
Perhaps VP10?

"I suspect that IBM was involved in creating a national database of citizens. How said database was later cherrypicked and sorted was not up to IBM"
The author of a book about their role says otherwise, unsurprisingly

Some things one should simply be able to answer without hesitation, either yes or no , even if you're lying.
Given IBM's history, they should have been quickest to say no.
