<p>It's both sad and understandable. So many Applications would want to be running in the background for data collection reasons or just user responsiveness. While it could be a permission, after watching so many people just hand out "Sure, have my location always and forever" to any application that ask for it, the OS would get totally overwhelmed.<p>This P2P system would probably only work if implemented by Google/Apple themselves and they have zero desire to do so since it's a feature almost no one would want.</p>

<p>You are allowed to record stuff happening in private spaces depending on the situation and state you are in.<p>For example, you could photograph or record the dance floor in nightclub since dance floor is very public. However, the bathroom would not be allowed. Of course, the venue could make up rules and eject you for doing so.<p>Most of "Warning signs" are deterrence, maybe someone will behave better if they know cameras are watching. Also, it's cheap insurance dictate by the lawyers who think "Signs are 100 bucks total but someone filing privacy lawsuit is thousands, put up the signs."</p>

<p>They don't strike, they just respond really slowly, pretend they didn't see something or just take reports and barely solve anything.<p>Since they are all unionized and replacing them is crazy slow and expensive, nothing happens.</p>

<p>>Yeah they say it's not for enterprise usage but ok whatever.<p>For now, it's clear that they will likely begin restricting the subs or severely cut back their token allowance.<p>I could also see Claude looking at source code/repos to try and figure out if it's closed source. If true, demand token payment.</p>

<p>>not the tax-evasion that Straw Manners and Ad Hominem attackers make appear to be.<p>Depends on the state, in my former state, Virginia, it is tax evasion. This is not unique to Virginia BTW, Georgia has similar laws. By law in VA, all cars that are garaged in state for longer than 90 days must pay the car tax. Only reason Montana LLC registered cars get away from it is most counties find out who must pay the tax from Virginia DMV so these cars are missed.</p>

<p>Sure, let's have that debate then. I think what frustrates many US citizens is immigration is clearly broken but for various political reasons, Congress won't touch it. It's clear the system is at the breaking point.<p>>and immigrants and their children more than pay their way in future taxes and future entrepreneurship.<p>As someone who is involved in local politics, and encourages more people to be, this is true in long run BUT not in short term. This causes a ton of friction since localities which don't have unlimited debt power ends up eating the cost of this immigration.<p>Here is CBO source on this: <a href="https://www.cbo.gov/publication/61464" rel="nofollow">https://www.cbo.gov/publication/61464</a></p>

<p>Beyond other reason listed in the comments, Microsoft is heavily invested in Postgres. They bought Postgres sharding company (<a href="https://www.citusdata.com" rel="nofollow">https://www.citusdata.com</a>) and apparently it sees a ton of use internally even for newer Greenfield projects. Also, if check recent commits to Postgres, you will find Microsoft employees all over commit history.<p>As I've commented several times before, MSSQL appears to be on life support. It makes them a ton of money and it's supported in same way AS/400 is supported. Sure, Microsoft will take your money but don't expect a lot in return.</p>

<p>>I know it's easier said than done but is there anything you can do to become an advocate for change?<p>IME, very few companies care they are screwing up their employees' lives. It's why these laws are good since it puts financial cost on them and gives their employees cover.</p>

<p>I'm SRE/Platform, I got paged out last night because Devs apparently can't properly crash applications. Sure, I can move hours as well but my partner doesn't care that I get off at 3 on this Friday instead of 5, she has to work till 5 and my page out interrupted our outing to the movies. Not everyone life is ultra flexible.</p>

<p>>you're paying so much for an education and then you just skip the education part? Why bother?<p>Because you are viewing the motivation of college wrong for most people. For most people, the purpose of college is to get piece of paper that will open up higher salary opportunities. Ergo, they are just doing whatever required to get said piece of paper with least amount of effort.<p>Until degrees, in particular, degrees from well-regarded universities stop being that method, this behavior will continue.</p>
