  • US | Supreme Court takes case that could strip FCC of authority to issue fines

    Jump

  • Maybe they're betting that the telcos have more money for their legal departments than the FCC does. I wonder though if it's true that a jury can award damages in excess of the requested amount in the case of regulatory fines the same way juries can when deciding civil suits for damages. Maybe.

  • US-based multinational companies will be exempt from global tax deal

    Jump

  • The way I've heard these minimum tax agreements described usually is where all the signatories agree to collect the same minimum corporate tax rate. The article says 15%. The US already has a 21% corp tax rate, setting aside tax incentives.

    So what does it mean in this case to say that US corps are exempt? Does this mean that a US corp homed in the Caymans will pay a different rate than a French company in the Caymans? Or that the US is refusing to collect a minimum 15% after tax incentives?

    I'm sure it's spelled out in the text of the treaty, but maybe someone here has already done the digging.

  • US offers Ukraine 15-year security guarantee as part of peace plan, Zelenskyy says

    Jump

  • Ukraine has been nuked? Or perhaps that's read as "used" as a threat. In any case, the point was that the previous agreements did not provide any defense guarantees.

    And what is article 4 in relation to the UN security council? There have been several security council meetings on Ukraine.

  • I tend to think at some point that was true, that Tesla was about saving the planet and SpaceX was about making humanity multiplanetary.

    It could be he was always a wretched creep and just really good at hiding it, but it seems to me that the wealth and power just ruined him. He wouldn't be the first person to fall in that trap.

    I'll append my confession here.

    I supported Ron Paul once upon a time. The non-interventionism appealed to me in the context of the Iraq war in particular, and the rights-based libertarian philosophy seemed sound. I was young.

  • Is anyone using Veilid for anything yet? Last I checked it was more an interesting experiment.

  • What words are you already tired of seeing repeated almost on a constant basis?

    Jump

  • Problematic - it's just so lazy. Makes me doubt whether the speaker has any coherent reason for why they don't like the given thing. Might as well say 'yucky'. It's the kind of word one uses when assuming everyone already agrees with you, and if they don't, well then they're probably problematic too. /rant

  • I don't know much about Machado, but I do know that polls conducted under dictatorships are often not worth much.

  • Denmark plans to severely restrict social media use for young people

    Jump

  • The rub there is that the government probably now has a record of every site you have an account on.

    What we really need is a system that's anonymized in both directions. Where the website can verify the specific claim, age, nationality, etc, but the issuer of the verification, aka the government, can't track where that verification has been used.

    I think this should be possible, but it's different from the way standard identity providers operate, and I haven't heard of any of these government identity providers operating this way. That may be because it's easier, and it may be because governments like the idea of knowing everything we do.

  • Identity politics is a diversion for class politics. Can't have class solidarity if your political position is a specialized configuration of all your various identity characteristics.
