And (at least some parts of) the article is clearly written by AI.

I think you're missing August 13th. As the other commenter pointed out, 13*28 = 264.

It appears to have 30 days in October and 31 days in November.

Such as?

Many small aircraft are still required, by law, to use leaded gasoline. Meanwhile, leaded gas has been outlawed for use in cars for decades.

What is Google paying for, exactly? Reddit's content is already public. Even free tools like F5Bot are already continuously downloading all of Reddit, and I'm sure they aren't paying $60M.

I installed Windows 11. A couple hours later, I was horrified to find that Windows 11 uploaded all files on my desktop to Microsoft. There's no warning or opt-in. OneDrive is set up by default to silently copy all your files. How is that legal?

I recently got a new Windows 11 computer. I was forced to create a Microsoft account to login in. There is no reasonable option to bypass it. I copied some files over to the Desktop, and I was later completely horrified to realize that Microsoft had uploaded everything on my desktop to their servers (OneDrive). They shouldn't copy all your data to their cloud without making it explicit!

Income tax is specifically prohibited under the original US constitution. The modern federal income tax was enacted in 1913 at 1% for incomes over $3,000 (about $93,000 in today's money). By WWII, we had universal payroll withholding.

Thinking the government will be satisfied with taking only a little bit from the wealthy, is like thinking your drug addicted friend will be happy with only a small bump of heroin on weekends.

>You see, the reason you pay so much money on your tax income...

Or is it because government spending has gotten so wasteful? It's interesting to think about how much government used to accomplish with less, or even no, income tax in the past.

You could literally have "firearms, drugs, cats, dogs, alligators, and weapons" in your car and still not be breaking any laws at all. None of those things are a priori illegal in all, or even most, cases.

Reddit has been on a downward spiral for years. I guess they are in a tough spot, because they're trying to monetize it, but the way they are simply ignoring the needs of their users will surely lead to their downfall.

Since you're too busy to do basic research to answer your own curiosity, of course I'll let you know that speeding is a misdemeanor in Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, Georgia, Iowa, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, Montana, Nevada, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, West Virginia, Wyoming. I'm sure I'm missing a few.

Actually, speeding is criminal in many states.

A lot of crimes things require intent. Perhaps using AI could actually circumvent the intent requirement of crime, thus making a lot of otherwise illegal things totally legal.

That is to say, it not only makes it hard to pin responsibility, but actually makes it no longer a crime at all.
