[03:51]	IsambardPrince	The EU has made the best changes to the iPhone, not Apple.
[03:51]	IsambardPrince	Apple has given their users a parade of truly ridiculous cords that change every 5 years or so and don't work with anything else and cost more money because they have to be licensed from Apple.
[03:51]	IsambardPrince	The EU forcing Apple to use USB-C was the biggest improvement the iPhone ever got.
[03:51]	IsambardPrince	User-replaceable batteries are next.
[03:52]	MinceR	don't forget sort of opening up the platform :>
[03:53]	IsambardPrince	The idea with the cords was, Apple would just change them on you all the time after you bought like half a dozen of them where Apple tacked on $2-3 each for licensing. Then when you had the cords, they would just change the damn cord again
[03:54]	MinceR	their hostages loved it
[03:54]	IsambardPrince	The one with like 30 pins was by far their worst.
[03:55]	MinceR	i think the EU should have just let them keep on sucking
[03:55]	MinceR	it's what their hostages want
[03:55]	MinceR	and reasonable people don't want to have anything to do with crApple's crap anyway
[03:56]	IsambardPrince	MinceR: It wasn't to protect people who buy Apple, it was to protect the planet from all their fucking e-waste.
[03:56]	MinceR	banning crApple products from the EU might have achieved more of that
[03:57]	IsambardPrince	The idea was all these cables would go into the trash every 5 years and so would a couple of phones.
[03:57]	IsambardPrince	And the EU figured standardize a cable, make it so the user can repair it.
[03:57]	IsambardPrince	Maybe the user keeps the phone for 10 years.
● Apr 25
[04:00]	MinceR	i doubt that a retarded simpleton who is obsessed with the shiny would keep the alleged phone for anywhere near that
[04:05]	IsambardPrince	MinceR: In one episode of Stargate SG-1 in an alternate timeline, the Aschen turn Jupiter into a small star. 
[04:05]	IsambardPrince	But as far as we know, you'd need at least 13 times the mass of Jupiter to make even a brown dwarf possible.
[04:06]	IsambardPrince	Even if you somehow merged Saturn with it, you'd have 1.3 Jupiters worth of mass.
[04:06]	MinceR	maybe they gated some other object into it from further away
[04:06]	IsambardPrince	Like what?
[04:06]	IsambardPrince	What would fit through a gate that would add enough mass to turn Jupiter into a star?
[04:07]	MinceR	like a brown dwarf
[04:07]	MinceR	though they'd have to use some insanely big supergate for it, unless they can distort the star temporarily
[04:08]	IsambardPrince	The Aschen didn't even know how to use the Stargate other than dialing other very close ones that they already knew about.
[04:08]	IsambardPrince	That puts them at "they never even figured out the DHD".
[04:09]	MinceR	that was before they struck a deal with the humans of Earth
[04:09]	IsambardPrince	Because the DHD network handles stellar drift updates.
[04:09]	MinceR	and it's possible that there were no DHDs in their neck of space
[04:09]	IsambardPrince	Yeah, so the Aschen aren't going to be a threat as long as they can't figure out how to get out of their local gate system.
[04:10]	IsambardPrince	Which might only be a handful of planets that are no further away than Abydos was from Earth.
[04:10]	IsambardPrince	The gates work without a DHD, but without correlative updates, even an address that someone wrote down on something will only work for several thousand years.
[04:11]	IsambardPrince	Remember the gate on Earth shook when manually dialing Abydos that way.
[04:11]	MinceR	they may have figured it out eventually on their own
[04:11]	IsambardPrince	Hopefully they were stupid enough to dial the black hole planet from their home planet.
[04:12]	IsambardPrince	That would set them back a while.
[04:12]	IsambardPrince	We never did hear from them again after "2001"
[04:12]	admfubar	what is the Norse equivalent of "banzai"?? https://futurism.com/advanced-transport/norway-autonomous-buses
[04:12]	TR Bot	 Norway Approves Autonomous Buses for Public Roads
[04:13]	IsambardPrince	MinceR: Earth almost got spaghettified and sucked through an incoming wormhole due to the black hole.
[04:13]	IsambardPrince	Presumably an active outgoing wormhole would be much worse.
[04:13]	IsambardPrince	Because the gate is set up to try to accept things through the wormhole that way.
[04:15]	IsambardPrince	So you'd need a gate big enough to accept entire large planets.
[04:15]	IsambardPrince	And you'd need to have the planet go through the gate, which might not be a problem if you can construct a gate like that.
[04:16]	IsambardPrince	But then the collision would be a problem.
[04:16]	IsambardPrince	Because let's say you plant this gate in the orbital path of a planet and then activate the gates at both ends, and then the thing comes out the other side with that amount of inertia from its former orbit in its home solar system.
[04:16]	IsambardPrince	That's too fast.
[04:17]	IsambardPrince	You would throw Jupiter out of its current stable orbit to go god knows where, probably out of the solar system.
[04:17]	IsambardPrince	And the effects on Earth long term would be devastating without Jupiter where it is now.
[04:18]	MinceR	as would be the effects of having a second star where jupiter is now
[04:18]	IsambardPrince	Because it's a gravitational vacuum for asteroids that might otherwise frequently collide with the Earth.
[04:18]	admfubar	https://futurism.com/artificial-intelligence/trump-data-center-fermi
[04:18]	TR Bot	 Trump's Huge AI Data Center Project Is Falling Apart Behind the Scenes
[04:19]	MinceR	it's also possible that after the humans of Earth show the Aschen how to use the stargates better, they also got a deal with someone else, and the whole starmaking tech is theirs
[04:19]	MinceR	which the Aschen might have sold as their own

[18:59]	IsambardPrince	Edge has a few that the Chromium project rejected because they work around some Windows quirk and cause a massive problem someplace else.

[22:01]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR3]: People who hurt small animals make you wonder what else they've done to a small animal.
[22:02]	IsambardPrince	Gonad's grandson tortured animals, and he raped his two younger sisters.
[22:02]	IsambardPrince	They sent him to Juvenile Hall for that.
[22:02]	IsambardPrince	But when he turned 18 they expunged his criminal records.
[22:02]	IsambardPrince	Then he was charged with rape as an adult but was acquitted by a jury that never got to hear how he was a twisted little fuck that hurt animals and committed incest rape.
[22:03]	schestowitz[TR3]	dissect animals

[22:03]	IsambardPrince	Indiana has a law that hides what you did as a minor almost no matter how horrific it is.
[22:04]	IsambardPrince	I think that law should be repealed and replaced with one that says misdemeanors are expunged when you turn 18 but for felonies you still have to ask the court.
[22:04]	IsambardPrince	Most children commit minor offenses because they just don't have the sort of maturity society expects out of an adult. 
[22:05]	IsambardPrince	So you punish them with that in mind and then the law forgets.
[22:05]	IsambardPrince	But what Trent did was not minor crimes.
[22:05]	MinceR	most "adults" also don't have the sort of maturity people expect from an adult
[22:05]	IsambardPrince	True, but in the eyes of the law, people over 18 are held to a higher standard regardless.
[22:06]	IsambardPrince	I'm not aware of any state that doesn't have juvenile courts.
[22:06]	Goblin	the only issue I would have with that would be it could "encourage" offences on the basis that "it wont matter when I turn 18"
[22:06]	IsambardPrince	I think in every state you can be charged as an adult in certain severe cases.
[22:06]	IsambardPrince	[16:06] <Goblin> the only issue I would have with that would be it could "encourage" offences on the basis that "it wont matter when I turn 18"
[22:07]	Goblin	and I make that opinion on being a Metropolitan Police officer for 15 years and dealing with many young offenders
[22:07]	IsambardPrince	Eh, I did some stuff when I was a teenager.
[22:07]	IsambardPrince	But it was petty.
[22:07]	IsambardPrince	When you punish the child, it really mostly just punishes the parents.
[22:08]	IsambardPrince	When you impose fines and things like that, it's the parents who end up paying it.
[22:08]	Goblin	 there are many petty offences comitted because of lack of maturity but I could see a situation where street savvy young people would use such a rule as a good reason to commit crimes.
[22:08]	IsambardPrince	One time I got caught doing something and it was my parents that ended up having to pay a $500 fine.
[22:09]	IsambardPrince	Where's the lesson there?
[22:09]	IsambardPrince	It's a bad lesson.
[22:09]	IsambardPrince	You do something wrong and your parents end up paying for it.
[22:09]	Goblin	I think maybe a compromise would be to ask the question, was the crime relevant to the job application etc that requires disclosure.  If not relevant then maybe a non-disclosure could be considered
[22:09]	IsambardPrince	Other than the fine, they made me pick up litter.
[22:10]	Goblin	For example, you apply to be a nurse and you have previous for graffiti/criminal damage.
[22:10]	IsambardPrince	The law doesn't work the same way in the US.
[22:10]	IsambardPrince	There's absolutely no reason to talk to the police in the US.
[22:11]	IsambardPrince	You shouldn't give them anything except your name and address.
[22:11]	Goblin	theres no reason to talk to police in the UK.
[22:11]	IsambardPrince	And you're not going to plead your case to the police, because they have no power to decide the outcome, they arrested you and assigned a court date.
[22:11]	Goblin	We have section 25 which obliges you to provide your details but only if an offense (that does not have a power of arrest) is committed
[22:11]	IsambardPrince	There's no such thing as a police caution here, except maybe for speeding.
[22:12]	Goblin	sorry I should say committed or suspected.
[22:12]	IsambardPrince	Anything the police learn will be used against you, but it will not help you.
[22:12]	IsambardPrince	And they can even take what you say out of context or misinterpret it.
[22:12]	Goblin	but I assume US police still have discretion?
[22:12]	IsambardPrince	They love people who make statements because their job is to turn it into a confession.
[22:12]	IsambardPrince	They steer it towards a confession, you might not realize that until it's too late.
[22:13]	IsambardPrince	[16:12] <Goblin> but I assume US police still have discretion?
[22:13]	IsambardPrince	Only on very small matters.
[22:13]	IsambardPrince	Like whether you get a speeding ticket.
[22:13]	Goblin	thats a difference then between UK/US police
[22:13]	IsambardPrince	If they witness a crime, you're almost certainly going to be arrested.
[22:14]	Goblin	and that would be the same here unless there were exceptional circumstances.
[22:14]	IsambardPrince	If someone complains of a crime that they didn't see, they can't necessarily arrest you right away, but they can turn it over to the prosecutor.
[22:14]	IsambardPrince	You might get arrested next month.
[22:14]	Goblin	yeah that would be the same here.
[22:14]	IsambardPrince	It helps you a lot if the police didn't see it, as long as you shut the hell up.
[22:15]	Goblin	yeah and I would agree that applies here.
[22:15]	IsambardPrince	Then it gets very murky. How many people did see the thing? What's their background? Is there other evidence? How credible are they if it goes to court?
[22:16]	IsambardPrince	So basically here's something that can happen.
[22:16]	IsambardPrince	Your partner gets mad at you.
[22:16]	Goblin	although should the case go to court and no comments where made a court can draw inference if a accused then provides an explanation......well thats whats part of the special caution said to suspects
[22:16]	IsambardPrince	They go to the police and say you hit them.
[22:16]	IsambardPrince	The police did not see it. The partner has not a mark on them.
[22:16]	IsambardPrince	That's a very weak case, but you probably still get arrested because the police don't want to be sued.
[22:17]	IsambardPrince	While they have you, they want you to fill out a statement and/or talk to them./
[22:17]	IsambardPrince	You don't do it.
[22:17]	IsambardPrince	The whole thing probably just falls apart.
[22:17]	Goblin	in cases of alleged domestic violence there are (or were - I left in 2014) there are extra measures in place.
[22:17]	IsambardPrince	I had that happen to me once.
[22:18]	IsambardPrince	They went to the cops and said I hit them. There was no evidence.
[22:18]	IsambardPrince	The police came to my house, wanted me to fill out a statement.
[22:18]	IsambardPrince	I didn't fill out a statement.
[22:18]	IsambardPrince	They got an arrest warrant anyway, I turned myself in and bailed out right away and lawyered up.
[22:18]	IsambardPrince	The case got dismissed.
[22:18]	Goblin	I think thats where is differs.....a US court can't draw inference from no comment?
[22:19]	IsambardPrince	During Discovery, I found that the cop that was interviewing my ex was pressuring him into saying I raped him. My ex said that I never did that though.
[22:19]	IsambardPrince	And the cop said "Just tell me he did and we can do something about that."
[22:19]	IsambardPrince	The cops went too far and that ended up hurting their case a lot.
[22:20]	Goblin	yeah discovery thats (from my poor understanding of US legal procedure) I assume is like when the UK CPS is considering the case....by the time disclosure is given the case is already going to court
[22:20]	IsambardPrince	They were trying to make it "more horrible", the charges, to save a case that was not going anywhere.
[22:20]	IsambardPrince	The police will absolutely manufacture more charges that never happened to try to gain leverage for the state.
[22:20]	IsambardPrince	They're a bunch of bastards.
[22:20]	Goblin	and the suspect when arrested at interview stage in the UK is not entitled to disclosure, thats the choice of the arresting/investigating officer.
[22:21]	IsambardPrince	They don't have to disclose all of the charges that are coming here.
[22:21]	IsambardPrince	They only have to disclose the charges that they arrested you for.
[22:21]	IsambardPrince	It doesn't mean there won't be more.
[22:21]	Goblin	its evidence in the UK.  theres no obligation pre-interview or interview to disclose the evidence they have.
[22:22]	IsambardPrince	Basically between your arrest and arraignment, they'll add more charges maybe.
[22:22]	IsambardPrince	You'll know by the arraignment what's coming.
[22:22]	IsambardPrince	Discovery happens between the arraignment and the trial, at some point.
[22:22]	IsambardPrince	Usually there's a status conference or two before the trial.
[22:22]	IsambardPrince	That's where the discovery happens.
[22:23]	IsambardPrince	Since you have a right to a speedy trial, they sometimes want you to waive speedy because the prosecutor is swamped.
[22:23]	IsambardPrince	You should never waive speedy.
[22:23]	IsambardPrince	Because it means that the prosecution will have less time to prepare and may go in there with a weaker case.
[22:24]	IsambardPrince	You're not there to do your enemies a huge favor.
[22:24]	IsambardPrince	Don't ever waive speedy.
[22:24]	IsambardPrince	Sometimes the judge asks you to waive speedy because it's the court that's clogged up.
[22:25]	IsambardPrince	Still, don't.
[22:25]	IsambardPrince	If they have too many cases they may have to drop some.
[22:25]	IsambardPrince	If yours is relatively unimportant, it might get dropped.
[22:25]	Goblin	I've never considered there being that huge a difference between the fundamentals of policing in the US/UK, seems like I was wrong.  I'd say on the whole, generally speaking the UK legal system is reasonably fair.
[22:25]	IsambardPrince	Or they might offer a plea bargain that's incredibly lenient to get it out of the system.
[22:26]	IsambardPrince	[16:25] <Goblin> I've never considered there being that huge a difference between the fundamentals of policing in the US/UK, seems like I was wrong.  I'd say on the whole, generally speaking the UK legal system is reasonably fair.
[22:26]	IsambardPrince	It was ironic that in Being Human, the cop was a vampire.
[22:26]	IsambardPrince	"They can't come in unless you invite them in."
[22:26]	IsambardPrince	Or a warrant, but usually they come out with no warrant and ask to come in.
[22:27]	IsambardPrince	Why do they do that? It's amazing how many people say yes when they shouldn't.
[22:27]	Goblin	you see we don't need a warrant.
[22:28]	Goblin	Section 35 (I think) - If a person suspected of committing a criminal offense is reasonably believed to be in a premesis, then police can enter.
[22:28]	Goblin	also...
[22:28]	IsambardPrince	Most of the US Bill of Rights are there as a response to abuses committed by the former government. ;)
[22:28]	IsambardPrince	Goblin: Harboring a fugitive is a crime, but they have to get a warrant or sit on the house and hope he comes out.
[22:28]	Goblin	If a person is arrested, a person where they are reasonably believed to have been can also be entered/searched
[22:29]	Goblin	ah the UK doesn't need that.
[22:29]	IsambardPrince	So unless they get a warrant or just sit there and get lucky and he comes out, then they have nothing.
[22:29]	IsambardPrince	They have to go tell a judge why they know he's in there, and get a warrant.
[22:30]	IsambardPrince	If they can't tell the judge why they're reasonably sure a fugitive is in the house then they can't just barge in.
[22:30]	Goblin	of course for no warrant to be required the officers would need reasonable belief that the suspect is in the house.
[22:30]	IsambardPrince	Yes, but in the US they need to get a judge to agree and sign a search warrant.
[22:31]	Goblin	they couldnt just walk up and down a street entering properties (unless there was reason to believe they could be in all the houses)
[22:31]	IsambardPrince	And if there's anything wrong with that warrant, legally, then it was an illegal search.
[22:31]	IsambardPrince	And it can damage their case.
[22:31]	Goblin	yep that would stand in the UK as well.
[22:32]	IsambardPrince	Goblin: ICE has been entering people's houses with "administrative warrants".
[22:32]	Goblin	but then if the evidence was dodgy that they were in the house but they were actually in the house I don't know if that would damage the case
[22:32]	IsambardPrince	The result of that is now coming.
[22:32]	IsambardPrince	Three ICE agents in Minnesota were charged with crimes for this.
[22:32]	IsambardPrince	Including breaking and entering and kidnapping.
[22:32]	IsambardPrince	Which are both felonies.
[22:33]	IsambardPrince	Administrative warrants are not like judicial warrants. They're something an agency issues which can tell ICE officers to arrest someone if they encounter them.
[22:33]	Goblin	and I would hope if UK police acted in the same way they would also be charged with crimes
[22:33]	IsambardPrince	But they do not authorize entering a house.
[22:34]	IsambardPrince	Goblin: It gets worse.
[22:34]	IsambardPrince	The guy they took was a US citizen.
[22:34]	IsambardPrince	They drove him around for a while in his underwear for about three hours then dropped him back off at his house.
[22:34]	IsambardPrince	In the middle of winter.
