Can’t you make one atom thin sheets of carbon with a pencil and tape?

Police don’t even really have a duty to enforce the law, at least not in the USA:

There’s no way to guarantee privacy. An overbearing spouse, an anti-union boss, or a judgmental pastor could all insist on seeing the votes marked as they prefer.
A voting booth was invented for this very reason.
Voting booths are important. People should be able to vote how they want, and that means secret ballots. This is only possible with a secure space.
I know that Americans love mail-in voting and yearn for online voting, but mail-in is a poor substitute for voting booths, and online voting would be terrible for this plus many many other reasons.
I prefer a touchscreen in general. Although I realize that different companies have better or worse systems. I read complaints about self checkout in the USA and scratch my head since in Holland self checkout is lovely.
Trying to use AI is a dumpster fire though.
If you’re willing to kill an entire people (that is, genocide) then violence works. There are no native American raids into white settlements in the USA anymore.
Israel has the poor taste to want to use the same tactics that European empires used in the 16th to 20th centuries, but in the 20th and 21st centuries.
I don’t understand how you are supposed to look at the photos taken with the great camera on an e-ink display?
I have a friend who unironically believes in expensive services for this reason.
I wanted to buy music, but a CD that I got in the 00’s had some “protection” so that I couldn’t rip it and listen to it on my MP3 player.
Now, I ripped it from a Linux computer and had no problems, but was so upset that the record companies tried this. I realized that it’s not about right or wrong, but just about power and money.
Companies are willing to pay so they can fire people!
Godzilla was from 1954!

Definitely worth watching.
European salaries for software developers are half of what they are in the USA. It’s a problem on both sides of the Atlantic, honestly.

It’s plausible, but a quick DuckDuckGo didn’t find anything about this. Do you have a reference?
That was a wild ride!
Copying is not theft.
I think that they will. Much like tech workers who had no interest in unions because they thought that they were aligned with the owners, management is going to have a rude awakening and learn that if you don’t own the company then you are just labor.
Does Boeing sell plane kits? You have to source the engines separately? Or do they sell the whole plane?
I help my kids with their schoolwork. It’s pretty reasonable, and also offers plenty of opportunities for me to talk with them about deeper issues that schools don’t have time or expertise in teaching. However even the basics they offer are okay, without any parental kibitzing.
Full disclosure: I live in Holland.
