Their first sentence explains their premise.

What I haven’t seen mentioned yet is that we have an established registration and licensing system to streamline identification, ticketing, and consequences for vehicles that bicyclists don’t use.

They’re saying the infrastructure around vehicles has established process which doesn’t exist for cyclists. They’re positing, from my reading, that this is contributing to the disparity in how infractions are handled; that if bicycles had license plates, registration etc. similar to vehicles the current system could be equally applied.

you are asking for the impossible as they did not disclose what service do they use

So you’re applying your own personal preference and beliefs. Saying “all the while this is a major breach of privacy, for both parties, and also of trust” is just you applying your preferences and beliefs to someone else’s personal decision.

especially since with every response you sound more and more hostile.

Do I? How so? You made a statement of fact (all the while this is a major breach of privacy, for both parties, and also of trust) about someone else’s choice and situation without any information to directly support it (you are asking for the impossible as they did not disclose what service do they use).

Calling my questioning and pushback “hostile” seems like bad-jacketing to me. Maybe you’re getting defensive?

with that in mind, do you think they have control over their information?

It’s not about what I think, they have control over whether to share their location data with a 3rd party or not. By definition that is control. They also have control to stop sharing that data at any time.

Do you have anything to support that the specific system used by the original commenter is using that data in a manner not agreed to when they shared it or in a way that the original commenter doesn’t agree to?

Or are you applying your own personal preferences and beliefs to someone else’s situation?

Privacy generally means the ability to control your personal information and how it’s used, as well as your freedom from intrusion and observation.

If you knowingly opt in it’s not really a breach of privacy. They’re choosing to allow a 3rd party access to that information which doesn’t fit with your preferences but it’s not really a breach of privacy or trust.

The original commenter explained they and their spouse share their location.

You said it was a breach of trust and privacy.

My question was “How? My situation is similar to the person you’re replying to and I’m curious how two consenting adults sharing their location with each other is ‘a major breach of privacy, for both parties, and also of trust’.”

I understand now that you didn’t mean that it was a breach of trust and privacy literally, obviously they’ve both opted in, but you used that to express your own preference.

at that point that difference would not matter to me

Got it. Seems like you’re applying your preference to the original commenters situation; that’s where I was getting confused.

And if the point is to show manufacturing in the US has decreased, isn’t that a “duh” statement?

In my state you get into the high teens before you hit any companies that do manufacturing.

Maybe it’s age talking but I’m at the point where my goal is the job that pays me the most for the least amount of time spent working.

I’m much happier working my “845” (8am-4pm 5 days a week, ideally less) and then being done so I can spend as much time enjoying my life.

I get that it’s not privacy focused; so much these days isn’t, but I’m still not understanding how two adults knowingly enabling location sharing via a 3rd party service is “a major breach of privacy, for both parties, and also of trust”.

I’m gathering that your intent was more along the lines of “it’s not very privacy conscious since you have no control over how the 3rd party uses that data or any way to control it”, would that be accurate?

I would not.

all the while this is a major breach of privacy, for both parties, and also of trust.

How? My situation is similar to the person you’re replying to and I’m curious how two consenting adults sharing their location with each other is “a major breach of privacy, for both parties, and also of trust”.

Maybe if one party is unwilling or has no say/control in location sharing but specifically in the scenario at hand I don’t see it.

the U.S. and its president: “We can make it lower!”

Are eggs still up in parts of the US? They’re back to about what they were a year ago where we live, $2.70-$2.80/dozen.

known as “996,” or 9 am to 9 pm, six days a week. In other words, it’s a 72-hour work week

Tl;dr

The courts have consistently ruled that the Due Process Clause and the presumption of innocence apply to all individuals within the United States, including non-citizens, whether they are legal residents, undocumented immigrants, or in the country on visas.

Since this all started we went from owning one firearm to four, I got my permit to carry and regular do so.

I’m not the person you’re replying to but the one thing I’ve found them helpful for is targeted search.

I can ask it a question and then access its sources from whatever response it generates to read and review myself.

Kind of a simpler, free LexisNexis.

When it comes to LLMs, they cannot do any work that you yourself do not understand.

And even if they could how would you ever validate it if you can’t understand it.
