However many the AI decides to give me.

Everyone capable of thought should have opinions.

On one hand, Assange is a shitty person. One woman woke up to him sticking his dick in her without her consent and without a condom. On the same trip he’d had sex with a different woman who had also insisted on his using a condom, which he reluctantly did… but then the condom mysteriously broke. While a guest of the Ecuadorian Embassy in London, where he was hiding out to duck the Swedish charges, he smeared shit on the walls and refused to bathe. He also helped the Russian GRU interfere in the 2016 Presidential Election, either as a useful idiot or a willing collaborator.

On the other hand, as shitty as he is, he was effectively a journalist. With Wikileaks he released leaked footage of a US helicopter firing on civilians in Iraq. He released reports on corruption by Kenyan leaders. He released internal scientology documents. The world needs journalists who will publish stories about things that powerful people, governments and churches don’t want people to know.

On the other, other hand, at times he hung his sources out to dry, like he did with Bradley / Chelsea Manning.

The plea deal he agreed to is bullshit. The charge of “conspiracy to commit computer intrusion” was basically encouraging a source to leak information to him. That’s journalism. “Conspiracy to obtain and disclose national defence information” was again, journalism. He was encouraging whistleblowers to report on wrongdoing by the government.

Even the plea deal is bullshit. He pled to violating the espionage act for… what? He didn’t break into anything himself. He wasn’t given a security clearance which he then violated. He wasn’t even American, in America, or working for the government. He was acting as a journalist receiving information from a whistleblower.

So, IMO, there’s nothing much to celebrate here. A shitty person pled to a bullshit charge, setting a bad precedent for journalism, and is now free. Lose, lose.

That’s virtua, not virtual.

Yep. Because stealing is a crime that goes back thousands of years. It was an old crime by the time the 10 commandments were written down. Meanwhile, copyright infringement is a new thing that’s maybe a few centuries old at most, and it’s a lot more morally ambiguous. Is it wrong to infringe on a monopoly that the government has given a corporation over the sharing of a tangible expression of an idea? Maybe sometimes? Maybe not other times?

One woman can deliver a baby in an hour, if she’s a doctor or a midwife.

Their are other misteaks people make aswell, alot of people don’t know english good.

Most people don’t live in Northern Ontario.

Most Ontarians live in cities.

Humans are descended from apes, humans are apes, and humans are cousins of the other modern apes.

We’re not descended from chimpanzees, but both we and chimpanzees descend from another ape.

Piracy has never been stealing. It’s copyright infringement. The two are completely different.

Also, most people are nearly athiests.

Christians deny the existence of Zeus, Ra, Mars, Shiva, Odin, Thor, Kali, Horus, Tew, Huitzilopochtli, Pele, Erra… Of all the gods and goddesses that people have ever said exist, Christians don’t believe in any of them other than their one god. Even Hindus, who have a pantheon with multiple gods, generally don’t believe in the gods of other religions.

I really dislike using the term “virtual” for online meetings. It implies the meeting isn’t real, or isn’t authentic, or like it’s imaginary. The meeting simply uses video cameras instead of a conference room.

Still doesn’t make it a “commandment”.

A commandment is an order like “You shall not murder.” It is an action that you could take, but are being ordered not to take. How would someone violate the Jewish 1st commandment?

If it were something like “I am the Lord Your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage, and you shall never suggest that that isn’t what happened”, then it would be a commandment. As it stands, it’s not a commandment, it’s just backstory.

Well, it’s 10, so it can’t be the Jewish version. I’m guessing the Protestant version.

The jewish one, the catholic one or the protestant one?

I wonder if the people who wrote the law know that there are multiple versions of the 10 commandments.

They’re pretty similar, but the numbers don’t match up.

The commandment against killing is #6 for Jews and Protestants, but #5 for Catholics. Stealing is #8 for Jews and Protestants, but #7 for Catholics. Then there are some bigger differences.

For Jews #2 says “You shall have no other gods beside me. You shall not make for yourself a sculptured image, or any likeness of what is in the heavens above or on the earth below, or in the waters under the earth.” That’s effectively split into #1 and #2 for Protestants, with #1 being “no other gods” and #2 being “no graven images”. For Catholics, “no other gods” is #1, but they got rid of the bit about graven images, presumably so they can have old finger bones people can worship, or statues to Mary. So, for Catholics #2 says not to take the name of their god in vain. Catholics make up for that by having a commandment against coveting the milf next door and a second one about your neighbour’s stuff, whereas Jews and Protestants have just 1 commandment against coveting your neighbour’s stuff.

Also, the Jews didn’t seem to understand the assignment for #1, because it’s not actually a commandment, it’s backstory: “I am the Lord your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, the house of bondage.” So, Jews really have 9 commandments and 1 informational message.

Also, fun loophole. All 3 versions say “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.” #9 for Jews and Protestants, #8 for Catholics. But, if someone isn’t your neighbour… Loophole!

Here, you dropped these:

a blue collar boss buying it for his employees

I assume this means for his business, to be used by employees? I can’t imagine a boss buying his employees a truck.

The one freedom the GPL removes is the freedom to be a leech. If you’re linking to GPL code, you are agreeing to follow the same rules as everybody else who has contributed to that code. Nobody gets a pass

Work for hire is a completely different situation. You have to accept the terms of whoever’s paying you to do the work.
