Code is speech, so how on Earth isn't this a First Amendment violation?

Your problem is that you chose an OS that respects you and treats you with dignity.

> Weren't they just slightly modified pagers essentially rigged to overheat, rather than they actually put explosives in them?

No

No! That would make you stand out with the fiery intensity of a sun.

Apple makes tens of billions of dollars per year on ads. Your conception of Apple and who they are have diverged.

You didn't mention the most important variable of the story -- how old the kids are. But I'm guessing over 8, since it wasn't a crine.

You know what they say: the most dangerous part of space flight is the car ride to Cape Canaveral.

I'm not a weightlifter, and 1lb steak (pre-cook weight) is a normal amd very reasonable sized dinner for me. Weird to hear that called "challenging".

Congress sets the president's salary and has the power to fire him. The president has no such reverse power. The legislative branch is clearly the more powerful. "co-equal" is a fiction made up out of whole cloth by Nixon to further his criminal activities.

Every season of MasterChef Australia is available on the right tracker.

Bill Gates' grandkids will be playing with wooden blocks.

What does that mean in practical terms? You can ask illegal immigrants politely to leave, and if they don't then that's it?

There's no judgement. It is dangerous, as the grandparent's story illustrates, regardless of what anyone thinks about it. If your kid's life is on the line, and you absolutely have to get the answer right, and you cannot unilaterally effect public policy, what do you need to do?

What if the mistake was riding a bicycle? You don't seem to be coming at this from the perspective of someone who is really thinking about safety.

Sorry to be callous about it. You're understandably angry. It's one thing to say you accept the risks of a risky behavior, and yet another to declare nothing could have been done.

Mirrors how my undergrads solve problems.

All of this nonsense because they underpriced the console to overcharge on games.

In the visible universe. The universe may well be infinite.

Or it's a cover for putting something else up in orbit secretly.

It's advertising, outreach, and public relations for a startup incubator company. There aren't ads here, because the website is the ad.

Knocker-up? I hardly know 'er!

I'll have what he's having.

What a bizarre explanation. Element does E2EE just fine, with the caveat that you have to record your own encryption keys. But if you want E2EE and backups, what would you expect?

You made my point. Thanks.

Maybe it's inflammation from the ink. Maybe the kind of personality that gets tattoos is also prone to other carcinogenic behavior.

> The Catholic church ... has no official position on paleontology or evolution through natural selection.

That's certainly an indictment.

> And of course many people don't have enough money for private school or to move to a good school district.

That's the whole point. Keeps out the riff-raff.
