In 2011, Aaron Swartz was arrested after he downloaded millions of academic journal articles from JSTOR via the MIT network. He was charged under federal laws (including wire fraud and violations of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act) with up to 13 felony counts, carrying the possibility of decades in prison, large fines, and other penalties. These federal charges eventually lead to his death in 2013.
No AI company was ever charged under federal laws.

In his first term, those looking to support Trump financially could lend him money against his real estate, license his name, buy his assets, join one of his clubs or book a hotel.
Since leaving office in 2021, Trump’s business empire expanded into the digital realm, where the products are often intangible, but the rev…

Przyszedł dzisiaj RaspBee II - dolutowałem piny, wpiąłem moduł i zaraz testuje już całość.
Nawet ok wygląda to pizero w tej aluminiowej obudowie. Jest naprawde miniaturowe jak na wszystko co będzie robić.
Narazie malinka jako sam mqtt bridge się sprawdzała dobrze, nie grzała i nic. Ciekawe jak dojdzie zigbee2mqtt i ble2mqtt, a w niedalekiej przyszłości modbus2mqtt czy nie trzeba będzie jej pod jakiś wentylator podstawić.

If there's a shooting in your apartment building, would you feel helped if your building were razed in response? When there's a shooting a block from a police station, do we destroy the whole block including the police station? Whatever Frey's excuse of the moment for destroying the makeshift homes of unhoused people, it is collective punishment— of the victims no less.
