This comment is a non sequitur to whether corporations have a duty to shareholders. Cited cases have nearly nothing to say for or against on that point.

Nongeeks haven't been living with this. They (mostly lawyers) use document management version control systems like iManage ( https://imanage.com/product/document-email-management/) and professional comparison software like Workshare Compare https://www.litera.com/products/legal/workshare-compare/ (orders of magnitude better than tracked changes in Word though Word has gotten better over the years).

?? Non sequitur. Big corporations were being killed by the filings in East Texas. Only winners are the trolls and their lawyers.

Dang, please explain why commentators like this are not shadowbanned.

What how does that work logically or in reality ? Good guy has no gun, bad guy does, 100% good guy gets robbed, raped, kidnapped, or killed. Good guy has gun, bad guy runs away most of time or sometimes gets killed or captured or otherwise stopped some of time, or sometimes robs, rapes, or kills good guy despite good guy gun some of time. 100% of time I like the second scenario.

"Studies that directly assessed the effect of actual defensive uses of guns (i.e., incidents in which a gun was 'used' by the crime victim in the sense of attacking or threatening an offender) have found consistently lower injury rates among gun-using crime victims compared with victims who used other self-protective strategies. ... Almost all national survey estimates indicate that defensive gun uses by victims are at least as common as offensive uses by criminals, with estimates of annual uses ranging from about 500,000 to more than 3 million per year, in the context of about 300,000 violent crimes involving firearms in 2008."cdc see https://www.investors.com/politics/columnists/how-many-lives...

Another intolerant and narrow minded statement.

How is this tolerated as acceptable comment ? No way this would be tolerated if similar sentiment was said of SF but the South is fair game on HN. Everyone in the South particularly Texas is a bigot except the tech elite who are fleeing the high taxes and cost of living of California and other states for the abundant jobs in TX.

How is the effort to require manufacturers to provide an unlock for repair different from law enforcement efforts to require an unlock for lawful searches ? Or isn't it ? Argument has been that any backdoor would make encryption vulnerable.

How does decentralization, p2p and encryption change anything? They won't protect you or prevent enforcement. If there are issues they will just tighten the law and increase enforcement mechaniams.

Oh my. Not correct. Participation in democracy is not quasi-governmental.

The death of the small time developer and the internet as we know it.

The death of the small developer and the internet as we know it

I love the techies praising the small time developer and the internet as we know it. Please before commenting read the law and all the regs that go with it, and then ask if your website complies. And it won't. And then calculate how many lawyers and consultants you need to hire (unless of course you are one of them and then you love this stuff). Or even easier just close up shop. Google, Facebook, Microsoft love these regs. They erect a big barrier of entry to the little guys.

Whatever. You obviously have never read a regulation and tried to comply without a team of lawyers. Or never run a small business. Or have a team of lawyers (which the nyt does but still can't get it right). Or are in violation and don't know it. Way to kill the internet. Thank you EU.

How ironic for nyt for blocking eu. Maybe eu should get real about onerous and unrealistic regs and stop trying to regulate the world. got to love the dumb cookie notice reg let's go back to using static html and no user interaction
