The latest damage done by copyright law: preventing scientific study of AI systems.

The Clinton campaign faces charges of disguising expenditures for lawful opposition research as legal services.

This misrepresentation should be investigated and punished, but I don't see it as a big deal.

Ironically, the big Republican gift to multinational corporations is coming at a time when they have more money than they have ways to invest it.

The most powerful countries rejected the use of UN funds for Haitians that contracted cholera in the epidemic started by the UN soldiers that were sent there after Dubya had President Aristide kidnaped.

I think the UN should look ahead, not back.

Its primary obligation in regard to cholera in Haiti is to pay for the infrastructure that will put an end to cholera there.

The UK Parliament is imposing a very strict standard of sexual harassment.

I think it would be wrong to impose that standard on everyone.

However, Parliament is a special case.

Legislators and their staff have special status, which they compete hard for, so it can be legitimate to hold them to a stricter standard than everyone else.

This could be a change for the better.

However, every standard should be objective.

“If someone else took offense at you, you're wrong” gives arbitrary power to anyone who takes offense.

I suspect that Leadsome does intend an objective standard of what is offensive, but her words say there won't be one.
