Submitting yourself for security clearances involves signing up for these investigations. Either he did so and regrets it, or he took a job that absolutely requires that he did, but he didn't.
Kushner should not have been near any job of any importance. Especially not after it became known that corruption and crime wasn't just an individual thing but something that runs in the family.
Neither. He just do not give a shit, because he is Trumps family and as such, he does not have to give a shit. Practically speaking, he is very much above any law and there is whole party dedicated to keeping that way for him.
It requires nothing like a party. Presidents can pardon anybody they want, and we set a precedent, which seems to be holding for now, from the last President that you can even preemptively pardon people for any possible crime that they may or may not have committed during some window of time. So anybody sufficiently close to a President is defacto immune to the law. This will only change if immunity, pardoning, and other related laws change. And they will not.

There will be a judgement call made, a balance struck. Some amount of business, not enough to invest in catching contaminants or keep workers off food stamps, but enough to fund lobbying and other efforts to maintain that comfortable permanence.
Any ceo is driven by profit and will make the same claims. But the military’s industrial complex shows no sign of slowing down. And from one angle that’s fine: Ukraine needs bombs. But killing people shouldn’t be a blue chip stock! IMHO.
What do you reckon the chances are of the current administration sending the bombs to Ukraine rather than Israel? I'd say the current lack of munitions is a good thing since that means they're not being used against Iranian school children and Gaza civilians.
> Providing an offline mode doesn’t imply continued maintenance
There should be a liability cap for developers under a revenue ceiling and an exemption for free games. An indie developer shouldn't be worried about getting sued because a component of their game wasn't properly audited for offline use.
> Indie developers don't build online games in general so you're making up strawman scenarios to defend multi-million corporations
How does a revenue cap “defend multi-million corporations”?
Also, your premise seems wrong [1]. And plenty of offline games have online PVP functionality that I can absolutely see a small developer forgetting to configure in a way that has zero external dependencies.
Sure. Let's say you bungle that. Should it cost you your home? What if you die before you finish that work. Should your family lose its estate?
More trivially, what if you were a muppet and put a bunch of critical stuff in your environment, forgot to export that, and then shut everything down to deal with, idk, an illness or a child or any of the other stuff that might cause someone just making stuff for fun to change directions.
Bungle it how? If you release the code you are dropping all liability for it working or continuing to work after that point. You have no requirement to make it easier to use or set up. The only reason you would have to do any work at all is so you don't have to release your server code.
Sure. Then just come out and say only large corporations can make a living from making games anymore. I don’t think they can do that because they haven’t thought any of this out, they’re just putting out press releases in campaign season because this isn’t actually a priority.
Potentially it adds a lot of work depending on what kind of game it is. Some make no sense without the online component - think something like Counter-Strike
> AI is just a tool, if your ability to form relationships was easily displaced by a tool, then I'd say it says a lot about the ability rather than the tool.
In abstract, sure, but that is a much shallower discussion that many people are strongly disinterested in. It's generic, where a human decompile may not be (as a cloner I haven't looked into those projects). I don't like the idea of a group of fans of art frames saying don't bother looking at what's in the art frame, our conversation is equal.
