I don't trust Gruber to be free of bias, but on the other hand, everything he says in his response is correct. This is a non-followup to a non-story.

This particular story should be verifiable if it is true. Nobody has been able to verify it, including the journalists who wrote the story. Nobody doubts that China engages in a broad range of hacking attempts. It's just that this sto

How can you say that the story is "probably true" when there is no evidence to back up any of the claims?

by PixyMisa 6y ago
That's the problem. If you can't define it, you don't actually understand it.

by PixyMisa 6y ago
Exactly. If you are unable to define your terms, you can't know if your discussion is meaningful.

Nebulous means "hard to define" or "lacking a clear definition".

If it displeases the tech giants that's automatically a good thing for everyone. The question is, what's the downside?

That's basically it. This is terrible legislation, Google is a terrible company, and both sides are acting like idiots.

Two would be amazing. One would be nice. Currently we get zero.

Good luck with that. My Takeout export was supposed to start three days ago.

It's SUPPOSED TO BE pay-to-play. Google is a business. That's how businesses work. That's the entire point.

How many do you want? Because there have been dozens of murders, even entirely setting aside accidental and incidental deaths.

How is it foreign interference in anything whatsoever?

No. He's telling regulatory prosecutions to focus on cases where they can show that the defendant was duly informed of their violations and did not attempt to remedy them. Which seems appropriate to me, most of the time.

Not always. I think the point is to issue common-sense executive orders and force the Democrats to justify striking them down.

When China is routinely posting "smiley happy genocide" stories to Twitter (check @ChineseEmbinUS if you want to feel ill for some reason), someone calling out the US as uniquely evil means they are either uninformed or deliberate
