I’ll take garden variety disagreements about economic policies over power seizure any day of the week. Compromise and not getting all the things you want is a hallmark of a healthy democracy.
This is how low the bar is and I lay 100% blame on authoritarians more interested in grabbing power than compromising themselves.
The only idiots here are the humans who bought into the AI craze without understanding how Large Language Models actually work and their limitations.
Asking your employer for more compensation because you are exerting more effort due to inexperience isn’t so different than a AAA studio charging high fees for a crappy product because of corporate bullshit and inefficiency.
In fact, these two things tend to be two sides of the same coin.
Article summary: Japan’s system is not interchangable with systems outside Japan, which is a friction point for export.
The Design of Everyday Things
You wouldn’t do this with a stranger’s device, so why insist you do it with your employer’s device? Just don’t.
If you have a workstation and want to use the same monitors/headsets/peripherals with both the company device and your personal device try one or two KVM switches.
It depends on the law really. There is no one rule.
For example, owning lockpicks is in many places not illegal, but owning lockpicks with the intent of bypassing a lock is.
Some laws are very specific about the severity or testability of a crime where as others are not. In that case a judge has to interpret the criteria for legal tests, either from previous case law or by building new case law.
In any case, being charged for something or not is a completely separate issue. Things are no less illegal just because the state has no resource or will to execute the law.
Also, being charged does not mean you broke the law either. Nor does judgment determine it (although it’s a very strong hint) since a latter appeal could acquit you of chargers.
The determination of guilt is in the facts of what happened. And that’s the whole point of the legal system. Being charged, getting judgement, appealing. It’s all a process to determine guilt or not. It is not itself the mechanism of guilt.
The idea of a “guilty conscience” enshrines this idea in expression.
The absolute rate didn’t go down, but the proportional rate did. Because our energy consumption has increased.
It’s kind of like arguing that there are more pirates today than there were 400 years ago. Yes, technically correct in absolute terms. In fact there’s more of everything today. But that doesn’t mean we are living in the age of piracy (the naval kind). And it shouldn’t mean the current deployment of renewables is making no progress.
