I'm just guessing, but what about backwards compatibility? Or cross-system compatibility?

For example, something like a syscall that's existed for 20 years. Changing it would break old apps.

Of course you could just keep the now "old" syscall and add new methods that replicate it's behavior, but haven't you then introduced bloat? More ways to do the same thing, meaning (eventually) more bugs, more fragmentation, memory usage, etc.

In that case I'm sure they're enjoying their 60 cents per month

You could actually run an actual legit miner on the thing, but yeah, you're not getting ahead your electricity usage.

It's unfortunately not as simple as that, the government has to be really careful upsetting essential companies like defense contractors, as the military just straight up needs them (for new projects but also spare parts, fixes,...).

It's not a good relationship.

Edit: I definitely don't disagree with you though, stuff like this just shouldn't happen.

Of course it's a choice, it's a settlement. They could've refused and gone to court, where they probably would've ended up paying a lot more in fines (and legal fees)

Yeah let's go scorched earth on one of the most important military contractors.

"cannot possibly" is your opinion, it's just not a fact. Look at how hard they're trying to ban it, it clearly matters a lot to some ppl for some reason

Not sure how that's a gotcha, sure, a court, has the same weight either way

But that's an opinion, isn't it? We all don't have the same opinions, that's why politics is a thing?

Maybe transcare hurts someone's feelings, you might not agree with that, but we live in a world where their opinion matters, too, for better (or in this case) for worse.

I had no idea, thanks for the info

If a court decides to interpret a law some way or another, it's because the law's wording allowed for some leeway.

That's on the lawmakers.

Let's take it from the other side.

Should I have the liberty to not pay taxes? The liberty to dump my garbage into a lake? The liberty to burn a forest down?

You're flexing words into meanings that suit you, but if they actually were possible to be interpreted this widely, it'd be chaos.

Right to healthcare or the right of privacy in healthcare?

The law on the ban for youth care was challenged in court, the courts decided the law is not against the constitution, and so it can take effect.

Where they constructed a right for healthcare out of the word liberty.

You're making massive leaps

Does the constitution say that though?

Because laws tell them what to decide. The courts are there to make sure the laws don't infringe on constitutional rights, on federal laws etc., but they don't create rules.

Yes, they interpret what the lawmakers have written. If lawmakers made a law saying minors shouldn't receive healthcare, that's what the court should say.

Not taking sides btw, if I was I'd just get mad at the state of US politics

That's on the tv manufacturers though, it's their choice.
