Oh? Was China recently granted arrest jurisdiction in the UK and Canada?

Or are they actually talking about abduction, which AFAIK is still illegal in both countries and would be a violation of their sovereignty?

They seem to have returned to it recently. Total redesign of power play. Thargoid war with titan battles (basically massive multiplayer raids). New ships. New frame shift drives. Colonisation coming soon.

One can argue that any programming is computer science,

One could argue that, but I think it would be a weak argument.

Keeping within the subcategory of software, I think of computer science as the theoretical side and programming as the practical side. The same distinction is sometimes made in other fields, like physics.

I think this is an important angle for bosses, investors, and legislators to digest. If they were made to understand the impact on profits and economy, they might not be so eager to push employees into work conditions that spread the disease.

Facebook/Meta (the owners of Instagram) have been extorting phone numbers and IDs from people for years. They don't target everyone all at once, but a few hundred here, a few hundred there. I don't know if they do it for all new accounts, but the practice is definitely not new.

This is one of the many reasons why I stopped using their services.
