Wait, they actually made that thing? I assumed the project would be canceled after everyone laughed at the reveal.

I was all set to call the guy a hero based on the headline, but apparently the reason he leaked the info was that he thought the war crimes were being investigated too much?

Not legal, unfortunately.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taft%E2%80%93Hartley_Act

The Taft–Hartley Act amended the 1935 National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), adding new restrictions on union actions and designating new union-specific unfair labor practices. Among the practices prohibited by the Taft–Hartley act are jurisdictional strikes, wildcat strikes, solidarity or political strikes, secondary boycotts, secondary and mass picketing, closed shops, and monetary donations by unions to federal political campaigns.

I was surprised to see this wasn't an Onion headline.

Depends on how you define "state". IIRC, Marx drew a distinction between "state" and "government", where the former is all the coercive institutions (cops, prisons, courts, etc). In this framework, you need a "government" to do the things you refer to, but participation in that government's activities should be voluntary, without the threat of armed government agents showing up at your door if you don't comply.

Three other competitors didn't survive what were supposed to be non-lethal qualifier duels on the day before the finals. One player tragically died right after winning a duel to a random explosion from their Goblin Rocket Boots. Another Goblin malfunction killed a player who was an official spectator for the fights.

I am so glad I clicked through. This is great stuff.

Is this hypothetical artist an Israeli settler in the West Bank? If so, I certainly would not give them my money. Otherwise, if we're just talking about some random Israeli then there's nothing inherently objectionable about that.

Oh, yes, please do. Just put that bullet in the skull of Twitter's zombified corpse and end its suffering forever.

I guess it makes sense that Dropbox in particular would be cool about this.

Oh well, just keep giving them more bombs. I'm sure it will be fine.

I had the same question, so for anyone who doesn't want to dig through the article:

To defend its 2017 repeal of net neutrality rules, the Pai FCC argued that broadband isn't a telecommunications service because Internet providers also offer DNS (Domain Name System) services and caching as part of the broadband package. A judge said the Pai FCC was entitled to deference on this opinion—even if it didn't make a lot of sense.

Basically, Trump's lackeys legally classified broadband as an "information service" to screw the American people and the question is whether the Supreme Court will go along with this blatant nonsense.

This is the only experiment that comes up from Googling Manitoba UBI, and it doesn't seem to match what you say. A study of about 2k people, definitely not the whole population, and this article lists quite a number of positive statements about it.
