> No chance 3 ever passes No chance any ever passes. Amendment’s are difficult to pass by design. The equal rights amendment which virtually nobody actually really opposes in theory in 2026 has been bantered around for…
Castro was already playing footsie with the Soviets and Castro nationalizing US business interests was one of the reasons we decided to invade. That was 64 years ago and are you suggesting here that things that happened…
> How is not bothering to understand your business If you are a lawyer how technically competent would you need to be to have complete assurance that your engineering team is now and always will be in full compliance to…
> The dickover is purely spite from the websites. No, it’s a legal CYA that provides safe harbor in case you are accused of the behavior. If a law says you need to inform, your lawyers will demand you inform even if…
So make it illegal to spy on users…not this “wishy-washy ask for their permission” first. If spying is the crux of the problem why not just solve it? Instead we are presented with some lukewarm have it both ways BS…
You are in charge of this. Just don’t buy a vehicle with one.
Most of them don't have a history of direct hostility towards the US and specifically having the willingness to allow a US foe to use their proximity to plant tactical weapons to threaten the US. Bit of a difference…
We wouldn't need a dickover at all if governments didn’t regulate it either.
Oh we care, but when it comes to cookie dickovers, we care more about making the corporate lawyers happy. I’ll admit that I definitely like collecting my paycheck much more than I worry about customer annoyance at…
For me the rule now is…use AI to analyze and summarize (but check it like a hawk). However, after some initial experimentation to see capabilities, I refuse to use it to create anything new. It’s certainly on the…
How many cuban ex-pats do you know? I would say “not many”. Every cuban ex-pat I know (and thats quite a lot because I live in FL) will tell you there is a Cuba problem. They all still have family suffering under that…
> is illegal under international law Here is a nice little brain teaser…What law would that be? And who would or could enforce said law? And if said law cannot be enforced, is it actually a law at all? > Explain how…
I made no claim that selfishness is wrong or altruism is right. Nor did i make any claims as to what life is like in the US—so I don't need any “reality checks” about what your personal beliefs are about life in the US…
Well…your motivation is not altruistic to the host country in that case, it’s selfish. You want a better life, the country providing it is arbitrary as long as it accepts the currency that you can provide for that…
> Law is what's enforced, not the rules by themselves. Within my circle of friends (generally those who are in Europe), I have been trying explain this distinction whenever it’s brought up that “US violates…
If you’re just gonna regurgitate all the same overused critiques that have been said about literally every Trump administration member and their suitability for their jobs since his first term we can just end this here.…
> It can make a lot of sense when you understand the people involved are deeply incompetent, aggressively overconfident, and are surrounded by religious extremists saying this needs to be done for Jesus to come back. It…
But what evidence do you have that none believed it? Sounds more like a subjective opinion rather than an objective one. While I am not big on trust either, I am perplexed why “successful” negotiations would all of a…
I get it, you don't trust them. I am skeptical of the motives of all governments regardless of who sits in power. Frankly, none are truly benevolent or honest as far as I am concerned. But that is a whole separate topic…
Which, again, has zero to do with my initial post. Again, the point was that we cant assume a blockade without the initial military operation would have been successful. And it’s a moot point anyway because only one of…
Are you suggesting there can be no difference between public rhetoric, the truth, and what might be said behind the closed doors of a diplomatic negotiation between adversaries? Especially with Trump?
Ok…but that is irrelevant to my point.
Like i said, that is what the administration (Witkoff) communicated. You can believe it or not, dispute it all you want, but the only opinion of any importance here is if they (either Iran, the administration, and…
I think that’s easy to say with the benefit of hindsight, but it seems to me that if the Iranians actually claimed they were 11 days away from a nuclear bomb during the prewar negotiations, it’s likely that the blockade…
My guess is most people on HN owe their livelihoods to people with this skill.
