While wolves can cause fatal injuries, they rarely do. From 1952 to 2002, there were 8 deaths in Europe + Russia, and 3 in North America. Most wolf attacks occur in south Asia, due to rabies.
The free access to Facebook scheme was killed due to protests, and we now have a net neutrality principle. The workaround FB found was to get smartphone manufacturers to include Facebook as a pre-installed app. And now the government is cracking down on pre-installed apps, so I don't know what they'll do next.
authorities again called on web platforms to police more vigilantly the use of provocative typos and puns that can be construed as criticism of the Chinese Communist Party.
Criticism? Jail. Puns? Jail. Spelling mistake? Believe it or not, jail. We have the highest literacy in the world. Because of jail.
I'm not talking quantum physics. I'm saying that (1) in the complete absence of regulations or other barriers, the biggest company in any field will tend to become a monopoly, and (2) in return for regulations against anticompetitive practices protecting your business, you have a responsibility to follow the rest of the rules, which are aimed at protecting consumers / smaller businesses / staff / common resources from you, even if you personally might find them painful. Which of these do you disagree with?
I have no doubt the regulations are painful. And I'm sure at least a few of them are unnecessary or even useless rules laid down a hundred years ago and never repealed. By all means, push for reforms. But rules and regulations, as a class, are protecting you both from criminals and from larger competitors. Don't cut the tree you are sitting on.
Yes, Mexico will have to give them pretty significant concessions, which is definitely a problem. But at least they'll stop shooting up busses full of civilians.
The backing of the state is the biggest prize any criminal can get. Why do you think many pirates became privateers? And why do billionaires buy and bribe politicians? Now this is definitely not a good thing, but in the circumstances it might be the least bad option.
A regulation that places a flat overhead or expense does create a disadvantage for a smaller business. But considering that the smaller business would have been bought up / bullied out in the absence of regulations, it is usually a small price to pay.
The best solution would be the Vetinari solution - legalise the cartels, drop all cases against them, and leave them alone. In return, they must maintain law and order within their ranks, help the government catch unregulated gangsters, stop attacks on civilians, and pay tax.
Oh yes, but Boeing (1) initially blamed the pilots for not being white and (2) when caught, promised to debug the faulty software. So the fact that such incidents are still happening is funny.
About half a dozen 'incidents' over the last 3-4 months. Doors falling off, wheels falling off, windshield exploding, etc. All while flying. Including two on the same day. Fortunately no one has died (yet) (apart from a whistleblower).
I don't get it? Is it another Linux joke?
